Kings Prove That Hard Work Pays Off
The final Times story of the Kings’ ‘85 season was certainly one to cherish. In a season which finds the organization in the running for most improved team, coach of the year and rookie of the year, isn’t it sad that Chris Baker’s cute little lead--the only copy on the front page--has to deal with embarrassing Jay Wells for overconfident remarks?
The Edmonton playoff game, upon which this story was based, involved a truly spectacular goaltending duel between Grant Fuhr and Bob Janecyk. Thanks to a player quote, Fuhr is mentioned once. Janecyk’s name cannot be found in the entire article.
Beware, Times reporters, a talented young Kings team is on the rise . . . hopefully your sports writing will follow suit.
