...uneven level of players inevitably produces imbalanced play. "You can still see good hockey on given nights in both leagues," says Hull, "but on other nights teams can stink." Earlier this season, for instance, the impoverished California Golden Seals skated into Boston like somnambulists. Losing 4-1, they challenged the Bruins' goalie with only 19 shots during the entire game-offensive ineptitude equivalent to that of a football team that cannot cross midfield more than two or three times in a game.

In America, new wonders and horrors are evoked: the awesome countryside and native paraphenalta, the strangeness of the language and the relative social freedom. And slowly, the Swedes become a small community. Old prejudices fade before new awareness and necessity. The whore...
