The Habs Draw Big Although the Canadiens have figuratively walked right out of the National Hockey League this season it hasn’t hurt attendance.

But, after sitting out one game against Clinton, Kullman returned to the lineup for a game against Philadelphia. Did Lockhart know about it? Of course. He was right there in the stands that night at Philly. When asked to explain Kull-man’s presence in the lineup, Lockhart said, “He’ll still sit out three games.
