Seike Says Habs Team To Beat In Stanley Cup Playoffs
MONTREAL, Que.— Although they’ve had more ups and downs this year than the Dow-Jones averages, the Montreal Canadiens should be regarded as the team to beat in the Stanley Cup playoffs. That’s according to managing director Frank J. Seike, who figures that proper intervals between games in the series will help the veterans on his club. “There are no back to back games on successive nights in the playoffs, he said, “And that will help the older players, give them a chance to regain energy and be at their best for each encounter.” Seike attributed a good deal of the Canadiens’ misfortune this season to injuries. “In all my long years of association with hockey,” he said. “I’ve never been connected with a club that had as manny injuries as this Montreal team…
Mahovlich Rated Another Beliveau
TORONTO— Among the Leafs’ talent of the future there are at least two juniors who are expected the prove able to stick in their first crack at the NHL. St. Michael’s Frank Mahovlich, in fact, is already being hailed as another Jean Beliveau and Marlboros’ Ken Girard ns little less.

Ranger’s Record Against The Bruins Makes Them Logical Playoff Choice

Who will be their opponent, Boston, Montreal or Detroit? Collectively, the Rangers would prefer meeting the Bruins. And for obvious reasons. “We’ve got a better record against them than either Canadiens or Detroit,” explained Bill Gadsby who mirrored the minds of his mates. “We were talking about it the other day and the gang figured that you have to go by the Looks. Well, if that’s the ease, Boston has to be our first choice.” What if Boston suddenly gets hot? “Oh. they could be as much trouble as anybody,” Gads went on. “But we’ve been winning against them at home and in…
Lynn Suggests Watson Get Barrel Of ‘Magic Brew’ For Other Blues
BOSTON, Mass.— The shortest distance between two hockey points seems to be that between New York and Boston, when Phil Watson starts making speeches. Watson dissertations, including his most recent on the habits of his stumpy goal-tender Lome “Gump” Worsley, are seemingly wafted here at the speed of sound. The New York coach’s tirade tn which he called Worsley a “beer-barrel belly” among other things appeared here in the Quincy Patriot Ledger following Its delivery in New York after the Rangers and Chicago Black Hawks played a 5-6 tie. Manager-Coach Tommy Ivan of Chicago promptly struck back at Watson in defense of his you<ng forward. Hector Lalande. Lynn Patrick, manager of the Bruins, teed off on Watson in defense of Worsley. Ivan’s concern was direct, for Watson had asked in criticising Worsley, “When a dope like…
