Speculative rumours out of New York have suggested, that with the uncertain physical status of Jacques Plante (subject to recurrent asthma attacks) and the questionable durability of substitute Hodge (due to his small stature), the Canadiens might be interested in a deal to obtain in another goaltender. The deal of course would be with the New York Rangers who with the glorious advent of Marcel Paille now possess two major league goaltenders, Gump Worsley of course being the other one. The Rangers, the Broadway report continues, would be interested in a seasoned defenceman in return, someone of the calibre of say, Dollard St. Laurent. 100% Satisfied Coach Blake’s reaction to this:…
