THE INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY WEEKLY
A NONE TOO WELCOME RECORD By the time you read this, Montreal Canadiens may be the not-too-proud possessors of National Hockey League record which they would just as soon be without. Including games of last Sunday night, February 26, the Habitants had collected exactly 15 no-decision efforts in 58 scheduled games, thus knotting the tie mark they set themselves, originally, back in the 1942-43 campaign. Before this 70-game season finally draws to close other clubs in the loop may quite possibly pass the mark also, for some of them are very close right now. Detroit Red Wings—the team that seemed the best candidate to set new mark few weeks ago when they collected six ties in the space of little more than two weeks—have 11 ties, and New York an equal number.…
Indians On Calder Cup Warpath
SPRINGFIELD, Mass.— SPRINGFIELD, Mass.— Not always first, but never last! That’s perhaps the best description that can be offered on behalf of Eddie Shore’s Springfield Indians of the American Hockey League. The proof lies in the fact that, despite Springfield’s poor road showing, they’re been displaying the brand of hockey on Coliseum ice that has enabled them to maintain their grip of no worse than third place in a well-balanced eastern division. No small factor in this success has been the Indians determined style of play against Leroy Goldsworthy’s front-running Buffalo Bisons and last year’s Calder Cup Winners, the Rhode Island Reds, who are currently in third spot, one point back of Springfield. Up through February 12th, the Seibertmen have registered five victories over Buffalo in eight games, and against Terry Reardon’s Providence…
Coaches Need A Rest-Not Players
DETROIT, Mich.— Who’s next? Buck Boucher? Hap Day? Tommy Ivan? Odds are mounting that one of them — probably all three — are going to blow their top in some fashion before this hockey season ends. Their three National Hockey League coaching brothers already have done so. Lynn Patrick, Charley Conacher and Dick Irvin all have cracked in heated manner under pressure of an hysterical campaign. Now it can be revealed. It’s not the hockey players who need the vacations. It’s the coaches who need to head south for such relaxing treatment as sun baths, fresh air and sunshine. Patrick was first to have smoke come out of his ears. He erupted in Toronto while his Rangers battled the Maple Leafs. Lynn’s was brief episode — just time enough for him to swing once at…
Eyes Front and Center In AHL Poll This Week
MONTREAL, Que.— In his fourth week of reviewing the chances of American Hockey League stars for the 1949-50 Fans All-Star Team, Cleveland Barons once again take a lion’s share of the field. Out of the six candidates picked as most likely to draw votes as the best center in the league, are two members of Bun Cook’s powerhouse Cleveland crew. In a way, that’s not too surprising, because the way Barons have been spread-eagling the field and piling up the scores, their respresentatives naturally get all the lustre that’s going. One rookie makes his appearance in the ranks to threaten the established veterans for the pivot spot. That’s Kelly Burnett of Springfield, one of the topnotch scorers last year in the Quebec Senior loop. Others showing their best paces about now are…
