Chevrier gets better View with Blackhawk _. A Fly 1h mall ,4mhm by William  Chicago not Alain Chevrier docs not like to think about last year s Stanley cup playoffs. Demoted at season s end to the no. 3 goalie for the new Jersey devils Chev Rier dressed for the playoff games in Street clothes and watched the action from the grandstand. Or anyplace else where people would t ask me How it Felt not to be on the ice said Chevrier who had started for the devils earlier in the season. I was miserable coming to the rink every Day but knowing i would t  this Spring Chevrier has a much bet Ter View. He was to be in goal tuesday night when the Chicago Blackhawk who Are just As much a Surprise this season As the devils were last year were to open their National hockey league semifinal series against the flames in Calgary. Sent from new Jersey to Winnipeg last summer then traded to Chicago in mid season the 28-year-old Chevrier has come alive with the Blackhawk. He is one of the main reasons coach Mike a Conan s team which entered postseason play with the worst record of any team in the playoffs at 27-41-12, has come this far upsetting the Detroit red wings in the first round and the St. Louis blues in the second. Chevrier has played brilliantly with Chicago. His 2.55-goals-against average in the Blackhawk first 11 playoff games is the second Best record in the playoffs. He has also recharged the noisy legions inside Chicago stadium who now regularly rattle the 63-Yeamild Amphitheater with their rhythmic chant of Al Ain Al Ain Al Ain the feeling you get playing in front of the Chicago fans is unbelievable Chevrier said. My cars were actually ringing for a couple of hours after our last name with St.  for a lot of Chicago fans this season has been divided into two halves before Chevrier and after Chevrier. Blackhawk Alain Chevrier Hopes to continue sat tiny away shots and nil foes. When he arrived in january the Blackhawk had won just 12 of 44 games were mired in the basement of the division and seemed destined to miss the playoffs for the first time since the 1968-69 season. But Chevrier won four of his first sir games in goal for Chicago and the Black Hawks began a second half sprint that brought them Down to the final game of the season deadlocked with the Toronto Maple Leafs in the race for the final nor Ris playoff berth. Chicago won its final game of the sea son in overtime to squeak into the play offs. The Blackhawk Are not Given much of a Chance against the flames who reloaded with Strong skaters and just finished blowing away Wayne Gretzky and the los Angeles Kings in five games. Even if Chicago does t get past Cal Gary the season has already been a Triumph a certified Coin Back year for both Keenan and Chevrier. While Chevrier was sitting on the Side line watching the devils narrowly miss making the finals last year Keenan was losing his Job in Philadelphia despite a winning season and the Best record among Active coaches in the nil. Hired by Chicago. Keenan began to try to rebuild the Blackhawk in his own image and one of his first priorities was better goal lending. With the flyers he had built his team around Strong goalies Pelle Lindbergh who was killed in a car Accident then Ron Hextall. The Eralic he really wanted for Chi Cago a s Tom Varrasso of the Pittsburgh penguins. But in january when Kronan suddenly lost both Darren Pang and Jimmy wait his two top goalies to injuries resettled for Chevrier who was having a mediocre season in Winnipeg. The Price was right the Blackhawk got Chevrier in Exchange for a mid round draft Choice. Chevrier arrived to lukewarm reviews. Let s be realistic Bob Pulford. The Blackhawk general manager told re porters at the time. We re not talking about Grant Fuhr Here. But Chevrier is a decent  who can win of some games. The Blackhawk had already some solid players in Dave Manson a do fens Man and Denis Savard and Steve Larmer the lop forwards. But they added additional muscle with trades bringing in Adam Creighton a 6 foot-5-Inch Center from Buffalo and Steve Conroyd a Tough dec Nicman from the islanders. Chevrier grew up in Cornwall Onta Rio one of three sons of a Mill labourer and a High school cafeteria worker. He went to College Ai Miami of Ohio not exactly a hockey powerhouse and did t even have an athletic scholarship his freshmen year paying his own Way out of savings from summer jobs and paper route he had for eight years. He was graduated with a degree in accounting and signed on As a free agent with the devils where he was a starter until the team brought in Sean Burke the goalie from the Canadian olympic team who bumped Chevrier right off the Bench for the playoffs. It was hard because i got to Sec All the playoff excitement but i did t really feel like i was part of it Chevrier said. But perhaps the hardest part was not talking about the Way he fell. "1 knew i was t going to help my team or myself by complaining about it he said. "1 had too much respect for the other players to Start mouthing off about my own  Chevrier Felt better the minute he landed in Chicago. His wife Suzy. Is from new Jersey and in Winnipeg they missed the feel of a big City. We missed the big metropolitan feel ing of new York he said. Chicago is a lot More what we were used to. The Trade fell Good from the
