On Thin ice
DETROIT, Mich.__ King-sized goal scorers also can bring king-sized headaches. Jack Adams again is feeling the pain which comes with the blessing of having Ted Lindsay on his team. The highest scoring left wing in hockey history, Lindsay is a controversial figure in five other National Hockey League links. A fiery, tempermental, explosive player, Lindsay is high on the hate list in each rival city. He also, strangely enough, has become a controversial figure in his own home town. Detroit fans are somewhat bewildered to hear Adams publicly criticising a man who is leading the team in scoring and ranks second only to Jean Beliveau in league Scoring. Adams blasted Lindsay in a manner previously used by New York’s Phil Watson in chastising Goalie Lorne Worsley. There is a strong impression that Adams, like Watson,…

WHILE THE SOLONS of the Quebec Hockey League were mighty slow in handling the hot potato handed them by Trois-Riveres Lions they did make a few constructive moves at their marathon meeting last Monday which went on for four and a half hours. Referee-in-chief George Gravel was called in and club representatives told him what they thought was wrong with the officiating, and it is understood Gravel told a few of the solons where they erred in raising hob around the rinks. Charlie Deziel, an ex-QHL referee came of stage to get into the act. He called up the writer at a time usually devoted to slumber to put in his ten cents worth. “The Quebec League club leaders and coaches are to blame for most of the trouble at their games. They…
Opportunity Knocked: Turner Answered
MONTREAL, Que.— Bob Turner of the Canadiens is a man of serious mien who subscribes wholeheartedly to the old adage, “opportunity knocks once.” And when it knocked for him, he seized it with alacrity and stepped jauntily across the threshold into the National Hockey League, where, in just a year, he has established himself as a defenseman destined for stardom. Turner, who will celebrate his 23rd birthday at the end of January, found opportunity knocking on his door’ just a year ago. He was hoisted then from Shawinigan Falls as a replacement with the Habs when Doug Harvey and Dollard St. Laurent were sidelined with injuries. Harvey had broken a bone in right hand and St. Laurent had shattered his jaw in a mid-ice collision with Detroit’s Red Kelly. In a few weeks back to…
