As all-round defensemen the two Rangers were a cut below all-star proportions, but they could no one thing which the youngster from far-off Regina. Saskatchewan, thought made them of extra value to their team. Whenever a player on another team attempted a shot on the New York net, one or the other of the defensemen would try to block the shot by sliding into it, either on bended knee or feet first. They were frequently successful. “If I ever happen to become a defenseman,” the youngster decided, “I’ll try to block shots…
