Mackintosh Likened To Hergy By Canuck Coach
VANCOUVER, B.C.— Arthur J. Chapman, assist ant general manager and coach of Vancouver Canucks in the Western Hockey Lea gue, is not one to throw lavish praise around without pro-vication. So when Chapman came right out and said Ian MacKintosh, Ca nucks’ husky, 25-years-old right winger from Selkirk, Man., was destined for the NHL it made news. Chapman compares MacKintosh to Wally Hergesheimer of New York Rangers. He saw Herges heimer win the rookie of the year award two years ago in the AHL and should know what he’s talk ing about. “MacKintosh is as much like ‘Hergy’ as any player I’ve seen,” said Chapman. “He is a slow, mediocre skater. Scouts would probably pass him up the first time they saw him for the same reason they passed up Hergeshei-mer in the AHL. “Several…
Trade to Chi Hawks Best Break Gardner Ever Got, Says Cal
CHICAGO, Ill.— Cal Gardner, the auburn peaked puck pusher with the flashing smile, hasn’t been publicized as one of the sharpest additions to the new Chicago Black Hawks this season, but he has easily earned such billing. He joined the squad with Al Rollins and Gus Mortson in September as a part of the deal that sent Harry Lumley to Toronto. Things didn’t look too good for the 28-year-old center at the start. When he reported to Hawk training head-quarters at Pembroke, Ont., he was in good enough physical condition, but he just couldn’t seem to get going in drills. He went on to garner only a couple of assists in the team’s 11 pre-season exhibitioin contests. Cal was still a big question mark when the Hawks took the ice for the schedule…
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Record Rangers New York Ranger fans shouldn’t feel so bad about their team’s losses to date this season. There was a period in 1944 that the Blueshirts went 25 games without a win, from Jan. 23, 1944 to Nov. 11, 1944. Penalties Galore The record for the most penalties by a team in one season belongs to the rough and ready Toronto Maple Leafs of 1951-52. They racked up a total of 841 minutes in the cooler in 70 games. Revamped Hawks Lead Habs, Leafs by Four MONTREAL, Que.— Chicag Black Hawks increased their lead in the National Hockey League standings during the week. Winning two out of three games the Hawks now have 25 points, four more than Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs, who are tied with 21 points apiece. Detroit Red Wings are…
Lum Faced Rocket Too Much
The impression that new citizen Harry Lumley has been a country cousin to Rocket Richard is not altogether fair to Mr. Smythe’s expensive goalie. Recent literature from the headquarters of hockey depicts Lum as the Rocket’s favorate target during the time Richard has been building up his alltime record of 325 goals. Fifty-five of the Rocket’s kills were scored against Apple Cheeks. And it’s true Lum played goal for both the Black Hawks and Red Wings, two clubs which were kind to Richard while he was running up his string. But even that apparently damning evidence requires a footnote. Marksmen all over the league fattened on the Black Hawks. They were the most-scored-upon team in hockey. So naturally the Rocket got his share of the loot. And the Red Wings?…
