Montreal — It’s no secret that Dick Irvin thinks Gerry McNeil is a much better goaler than Al Rollins or the Leafs.

The crown came to them on March 5. a date upon which none of the Detroiters shot a goal, or even put on a uniform. Instead, they were priming to clinch the title on March S in a home game against Boston when Montreal Canadiens. last remaining challengers, backed out of the contention. The championship mantle, which has been hanging in the Detroit dressing room ever since the spring of 1949, was donned again by the Wings when Montreal skidded to a 6-2 defeat in Toronto.
