EDMONTON, Alberta — Canada
unleashed a five-goal blitz in the first
period Tuesday night then weath
ered a fiery counter-attack to defeat
Sweden 6-5 and win the Canada Cup
hockey championship.
The Canadians won the best-of-
three final 2-0 to claim its first Can
ada Cup title since 1976 and return
to the summit of' international
hockey.
But the climb back was precar
ious. Canada led 5-0 with 3:16 left in
the first period and had outshot the
Swedes 9-2.
New York Islander John Tonelli,
a trench solider on a team of swash
bucklers, was named Most Valuable
Player of the tournament for Can
ada. Kent Nilsson, instrumental in
the Swedish rally, was named MVP
of the series for his club.
The Swedish comeback began al
most exactly from the moment
Coach Leif Boork replaced goalie
Goete Waelitalo near the end of the
first period with Peter Lindmark,
the club’s regular starter and most
consistent netminder since the start
of the tournament.
The Swedes trimmed the Ca
nadian lead to 6-4 at the end of the
second period and cut it to 6-5 at
1:40 of the final period when Nils-
The Canadian team came into the finals of the Canada
Cup confident and cautious. After beating the Russians
in the semi-finals, Canada didn't want to suffer any loss
of concentration. But the Canadian squad knew it could
beat the Swedes with a tough brand of NHL hockey
which suits the Canucks best. Ultimately Canada re
turned the most important international trophy to the
world hockey power.

son scored his second goal of the
game on a power play.
Canadian goalie Pete Peelers was
injured on the goal and replaced by
Rejean Lemelin. Lemelin had to
make three brilliant saves against a
Swedish power play with 10 minutes
remaining and Canada’s attempt to
widen the margin failed with 77 sec
onds left when Tonelli’s second goal
of the game into an empty net was
disallowed when he was ruled off
side.
A crowd of only 10,449 attended
the game, which was televised live in
Canada with no blackout.
Whirling, unrelenting speed over
whelmed Sweden early as Edmonton
Oilers Mark Messier and Wayne
Gretzky, Montreal Canadien Larry
Robinson and Tonelli connected
against a shell-shocked Swedish de
fense before the game was eight
minutes old.
Tonelli set up the fifth Canadian
f oal of the period, feeding Brent
utter from in close to give Canada a
5-0 lead with 3:16 left in the period.
Sweden, which finished the
round-robin at 3-2 and routed the
United States 9-2 in the semifinal,
regained its composure late in the
period with a goal by Nilsson, then
pulled within two goals in the second
period, sparked by two goals from
Thomas Steen and one by Haakan
Loob.
Gretzky, the leading point-getter
of the tournament with 12, set the
pattern in the opening seconds with
a shot from 3 feet and a slapshot
from the point.
The Canadians needed only two
minutes to break through agains
Waelitalo, who had only one prt
vious start. Mike Gartner slammed)
shot which rebounded off the posi
and Messier flicked it in for a M
lead. At 4:39, Gretzky took a pass
from Boston Bruin Rick Middleton
and swatted in his fifth goal of th
tournament as three Canadians
crashed in on Waelitalo.
Larry Robinson, the Montrealdt
fenseman playing in his third Can
ada Cup, then scored his first goalol
the tournament on a shot from tie
point 81 seconds later at 6:00.
Tonelli scored his third oftouma

DALLAS — Local football fans
were denied something last Sunday
that they have grown accustomed to
— seeing the Dallas Cowboys on tele
vision even when they are playing at
home.
And that will likely be the case
again next Sunday since there are
more than 5,000 tickets left to sell
for the Dallas-Green Bay game and
they must be gone by Thursday af
ternoon for the local blackout to be
lifted.
The Cowboys, for one reason or
another, have had trouble this year
selling tickets, something that both
ers but does not necessarily distress
the club’s president and general
manager.
“Sure, it concerns me,” Tex
Schramm said. “But I think that all
of sports is fn sort of a leveling off
process. Television ratings nave -
been down in most sports, but I
think that will change eventually be
cause I still think sports is one of the
best attractions on television.”
The Cowboys uniformly sold out
their home games well in advance
during the late 1970s and into the
1980s, but, beginning with the pro
football strike in 1982, some of the
devoted following appeared to fall
away.
About 400 tickets were left unsold
to Dallas’ home opener last Sunday
with the Philadelphia Eagles, even
though almost 3,000 fans bought
tickets at the gate.
More than 7,000 tickets remain
for a meeting with New Orleans next
month and almost 12,000 seats —
close to 20 percent of the stadium —
are left for the Indianapolis Colts in
late October. The only game that is
already sold out is Dallas’ meeting
with Washington on Dec. 9.
“I think there are a lot of things
that have caused the bloom to fade,"
Schramm said. “I think the involve
ment with drugs by some players has
had an affect. There are the labor
disputes and I think the emphasis on
money and contracts rather than an
emphasis on what has taken place on
the field has been part of it.
“I’m old fashioned enough to
think that fans still think of the play
ers as heroes.”
Part of the problem would also
appear to be the Cowboys are cur
rently a questionable entity. Dallas
lost its last three games in 1983,
something that had never happened
in the history of the franchise.
“We have been in the playoffs 18
years,” Schramm said. “And our sea
sons have been measured over the
years’on whether we made it to the
Super Bowl. We haven’t been to the
Super Bowl in five years and thati
perceived by some as not being sue
cessful.
"It is jlast something we have to
live with. The fans are still there."
The Cowboys currently chary
$18 for a ticket, but Schramm San!
he did not believe price had any
thing to do with sales m any sport.
“I’ve never seen anybody aural
larger crowds by lowering that
ticket prices,” he said. “Let’s facei.
Going to a game is a chore. You haw
to drive to tne game and parkandal
that.
“If you don’t want to go to th
game m person you aren't going it
do it. But if you do want to go toih
game in person, you are going toy
to the problems of doing it and at
extra two dollars or whatever it i
will not make any difference."
