High - Scoring Group Result Of Experiment
PHILADELPHIA— When Philadelphia Rockets played St. Louis Flyers at the irena here last Saturday night it was more than just a hockey game for three members of Wally Kilrea’s jet-propelled sextet. It was a pre-birthday celebration for Rockets’ number one line of Phil Hergesheimer, Wally Stefaliw and Mike Narduzzi—with one candle on the cake. The line was “born” just over one year ago, on December 7, 1946, when Herb Gardiner Philadelphia coach at the time, slapped the trio together as an experiment, and then stood back in amazement as it paid off gold plated dividends. How It Happened; It is an interesting story how Hergesheimer, Stefaniw and Narduzzi got together to play as a unit on Philadelphia’s ice hockey team. It is more interesting how they immediately “clicked” and Hergie—the Phantom Phil of the ice…
Another Scoring System
(Last week we had an article by Dave Farrell of Boston, describing his suggested method for determining hockey scoring championships. This week, we have another suggestion, this time from Robert Desjardins, assistant sport editor of Le Petit Journal, Montreal French language daily.) MONTREAL— I think that there is a good method to find the “team value” of a hockey player in the scoring lists, in giving his average for the season in the same manner employed in baseball, with a little change brought in the way of figuring that average. We can take the number of goals scored by a player (as they take the hits of a player in baseball) and divide them by the number of games he played (as they divide the hits by the number of times at bat,…
Tacoma’s Coach Highly Pleased With 47-48 Six
VANCOUVER — “We’ll give a good account of ourselves” said Tacoma Rocket coach Dave Downie to THE HOCKEY NEWS in an interview in the Tacoma dressing room just before he sent his charges out to battle the Los Angeles Monarchs in a recent game. “Tacoma is fast becoming a hockey-mad town. We are playing before packed houses and if we continue to play the brand of hockey we have displayed already, the S.R.O. sign will become a regular,” mused Downie. “Last season we were new to the P.C.H.L. and had to build from nothing. We didn’t win many games but were in there fighting every game. This season we arranged a working agreement with Buffalo and Providence, both of the A.H.L., and coupled with some left-overs from last year’s sextet, we have, I…
