Mark Tardiff scored the game-winner at 1:08 of the first period for the Canadiens and follow up goals by Yvan Cournoyer, Guy LeFleur and Claude Larose proved to be nothing more than icing on the cake...

The effect is that of stale cake frosting, limited to three colors -- charcoal, sickly pink, and dirty white -- knifed or squeezed onto the canvas. The paintings suggest parody of the rough, sculptural brush work of De Kooning, at the same time evidencing an interest in the ease with which forms advance from the canvas as well...
