Blues Shift to Bums’ Cheer ‘Wait Till Next Year’
They’re Set with… NEW YORK, N.Y.— If the Rangers operated in Brooklyn instead of Manhattan faithful followers of the Blueshirts would be chanting the Bums’ Cheer “Wait until next year.” There hasn’t been much about which hockey fandom in Gotham could wax ecstatic this season unless it was the advent of several rookies who bear the hallmark of future stardom. Maybe it is time to evaluate the performances of the rookies General Manager Frank Boucher was obliged to graduate to major league ranks when the Blues suffered a series of crippling injuries before the season opened. Not only did the wave of casualties upset Ranger plans, but a complete tailspin by a few veterans of whom much had been expected, helped upset the apple cart. In discussing the progress of Dean Prentice, Andy Bathgate and Harry…

They’re a nuisance, and he went through two operations during the last two summers to have similar chips removed, but the net result is that his arm feels about the same as it has during his two previous NHL seasons.
