...Islanders' front three sweep as one irresistible force. Trottier flicks passes, Gillies dig: the puck out of the corner, Bossy darts in and out of the slot waiting for a pass: three men seemingly skating in one another's minds. Just to stay fresh, they occasionally swap off on a different line. Says Trottier: "If you keep doing the same things, other teams learn how to control you. With different guys, you try different things and when you go back to your regular line, damned if they don't work. A little change now and then gets...
...nascent "it," a combination of glamour and whatever it is that makes cookies tough, belonged to a teen-age girl from New York City, born Betty Perske and metamorphosed by Hawks and Warner Bros., publicity department into Lauren Bacall.

Atlantic: The champion Bullets move over to this division, but will be lucky to grab second place at the season's end. Philadelphia virtually locked up the championship with the Jones for McGinnis swap, provided Julius Erving can still do it, ABA-style. The Knicks are good on paper, and will be good if the paper is legal tender and given to Monroe and Jim McMillian. The Celtics will reach .500 only if opposing teams refuse to play while Dave Cowens is out. With Kevin Porter traded to Detroit for Eric Money, the Nets need a play maker...
