Self Control Vital to Penalty Killer (excerpt) • by Reid Grosky • The Hockey Spectator • March 23, 1973
... "I wasn't getting any ice time in New England," Sarrazin says. "But they were pretty fair with me. They asked me if I wanted to go to Chicago; I didn't have to if I didn't want to." So the Cougars came up with Sarrazin in exchange for cash and a draft choice, and almost immediately sat the one-time Philadelphia Flyer on the bench. Then for the last month, it's been full-time penalty killing for him... Only recently, when Dan Lodboa was lost for the season with damaged knee ligaments, did coach Marcel Pronovost say that Sarrazin would be given a solid shot at right wing. "I think with the effort he put out while penalty killing, he deserved it," Pronovost said. ... "I can't say it's perfect," Sarazin says. "You don't get much ice time, but at least you get the impression you're doing something for the team." The 27-year-old Sarrazin has found the pressure placed on penalty-killing roll to be surprisingly great. "What really makes it tough," he says, "is if the game is tied, the guys are working hard, and the team gets a penalty. Then you have to go on and try to kill it. You hate to think about the other team scoring. If they do it gives you a really bad feeling." The toughest team against which to kill penalties? To Sarrazin, it's Cleveland, "especially on their home ice because they have such a small rink and move the puck so well." ... |
