Of course, Dallas ^ their captain, deiens DALLAS (AP) — TWo years ago the Edmonton Oilers delivered a shock to the Dallas Stars they will never forget. They knocked the Stars out of the Stanley Cup playoffs in the first round on a goal by Todd Marchant in overtime of Game 7. “We learned a lot from that thing that happened two years ago,” Dallas coach Ken Hitchcock said. “We know not to overlook anybody. We learned our lesson." The Stars, who have the home ice advantage throughout the play offs because of their NHL-best reg ular season mark, meet a No. 8 seeded Oiler team Wednesday night they beat three times and tied once in four meetings. “Being the No. 1 seed is a bur den you have to accept,” Hitchcock said. “You know that going in.” Edmonton has no problem play ing up the underdog role. “Being a complete underdog is a huge blessing,” Edmonton coach Ron Low said. “There’s absolutely no pressure on us. The pressure is squarely on Dallas’ shoulders." Dallas is not the only team the Oilers have ruined in the playoffs. Colorado was ousted by Edmonton last year.

The other major league owners have to approve the sale to Cincinnati financier Carl Lind ner and two of the other limited part ners, a process that usually takes 6- 15 months but is expected to move quickly, perhaps with a vote as soon as June. Baseball had ordered her to sell her controlling interest in the Reds and end a tenure that included one suspension for inflammatory re marks and other disciplinary mea sures, such as giving up day-to-day decision-mak ing. Lindner would become the team’s controlling part ner. Limited partners George Strike and William Reik also would be part of the new ownership group.
