Oilers 5, Flames 2
CALGARY, Alberta (AP)—Glenn
Anderson’s third-period goal gave
the Edmonton Oilers a come-from-
behind 5-2 victory over the Calgary
Flames Monday night to tie the best-
of-seven series at 3-3 and keep alive
their hopes for a third straight Stan
ley Cup championship.
Calgary had a 2-0 lead in the sec
ond period but couldn’t bury the re
silient Oilers. Game 7 will be played
in Edmonton on Wednesday night.
The Oilers put the game away
when Mike Krushelnyski scored into
an empty net with 22 seconds left
and Craig MacTavish closed out the
scoring.
The Oilers, who had trailed 1-0,
2-1 and 3-2 in games, once again
used a strong third-period to pro
long the series.
They fought back to tie the game
2-2 in the second and then domi
nated most of the third.
NEW YORK (AP) — The sound was awesome —
thunderous cheers raining down upon the New York
Rangers. “It was an intense, deafening feeling out
there,” goalie John Vanbiesbrouck said later. “I’ve
been in rock concerts and I’ve never heard noise like
that.”
The fans, 17,367 of them in Madison Square Gar
den, had been standing, clapping, screaming and gas
ping as the upstart Rangers clung in the closing min
utes to a 2-1 lead against the favored Washington
Capitals in their NHL playoff game Sunday night.
The fans had seen leads and dreams evaporate for
years. The last time the Rangers won a Stanley Cup
was 1940. To make matters worse, on Long Island, the
New York Islanders had won four Cups in succession
at the start of the decade, and their fans’ disdain for
their urban neighbors had been summed up in the de
risive cheer: “Nineteen-forty!”
Now, as the final seconds evaporated, the Capitals
scrambling in vain in their own zone for possession of
the puck, the decibel level increased yet again. On the
other end of the rink, Vanbiesbrouck raised his fists.
“It sounded like the building was coming apart,” he
said.
When the final buzzer sounded and New York won
the best-of-seven series, four games to two, the crowd
continued to cheer — some cried — as the Rangers cel
ebrated on the ice, as they swarmed all over Vanbies
brouck, as the diminutive goalie swatted the air in tri
umph as he left the ice, as the Garden lights dimmed,
as the announcer intoned: “Thank you for coming and
drive home safely.”
The Rangers still are two series — eight victories —
winning the Stanley Cup. But whoa
this far?

Mavs, Hawks look to stamina for wins
The Atlanta Hawks and Dallas
Mavericks, with more time to pre
pare for their next games in the
NBA playoffs, hope their chances
and stamina will improve.
The Hawks and the Mavericks
went into second-round playoff
openers Sunday with only a travel
day separating them from the end of
their first-round series Friday night.
The lack of
preparation NBA PloyOffS
showed as At-
lanta lost to Boston 103-91 and Dal
las fell 130-116 to the defending
champion Los Angeles Lakers.
The Hawks get another chance at
Boston tonight, while Dallas is at Los
Angeles in Wednesday’s only game.
Philadelphia is at Milwaukee for
their second-round opener tonight,
and Houston has a 1-0 lead over
Denver as the Rockets entertain the
Nuggets tonight.
The Celtics, 67-15 during the reg
ular season, outscored Atlanta 34-17
to take a 23-point lead after three
quarters of their opener.
“I’d like to give credit to Boston
more than blaming it on fatigue,”
Atlanta Coach Mike Fratello said.
“But legs do have something to do
with running, with leaping, with be
ing a step slow, with not being able to
anticipate a step ahead.”
Atlanta needed two overtime peri
ods to win the final game of its first-
round series with Detroit Friday
night. The Hawks went into Boston
Garden Sunday and found out that
the Celtics, who hadn’t played for
five days, were more than ready for
Spurs fire Fitzsimmons
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Cot
ton Fitzsimmons was fired Mon
day as coach of the San Antonio
Spurs by owner Angelo Drossos,
who said the NBA team needs “a
new situation, a new coach, a new
start.”
Fitzsimmons coached the
Spurs for two seasons, compiling
a 76-88 record and directing the
team to the first round of the
playoffs each year.
The Spurs were recently elimi
nated from the playoffs by the
Los Angeles Lakers in three
straight games.
“We felt it would be the appro
priate thing to do right now, to
make a change in our coaching
staff for the coming season,”
Drossos said. “We did it quickly
because the Spurs need to get
started with our planning for
next year.”
The decision to fire Fitzsim
mons was made because “in San
Antonio we need a new situation,
a new coach, a new start," Drossos
said.
The owner said he had no defi
nite candidate in mind for the job
but hoped to have a replacement
before the NBA draft in June.
Drossos refused to comment on
the settlement reached with Fitz
simmons concerning the remain
ing year on his three-year con
tract with the Spurs.
“Cotton is a professional coach
and had been coaching 15 years,”
Drossos said. “He just didn’t win.
I feel he will land another coach
ing job somewhere else and I
wouldn’t be surprised if he’s suc
cessful somewhere else.”
NBA scoring champion Dominique
Wilkins.
The 6-foot-8 Wilkins, who scored
50 and 38 points in two games
against the Pistons, was 4-for-15
from the field and scored only 13
points against Boston.
“The Celtics made Dominique
work very hard,” Fratello said. “But
he’s a good student and he’ll look at
the films and make some adjust
ments.”
Dallas Coach Dick Motta was far
more outspoken in his criticism of
the lack of preparation time for the
Lakers.

Motta said. "We made a couplf

Los Angeles guard Eani
“Magic” Johnson, who had IGpos
and 14 assists against the Maveridi
agreed that Dallas’fatigue was a ()(•
tor in the Lakers’ fourth consecutin
easy playoff victory.
“No question about it, they not
