Speaking on Sport
Toronto Star One of the things Sam Pollock likes about hockey is the candor with which men in the game speak their minds. When they’re speaking of Sam, some of them are unusually frank.

I’d have to see it first.” Rigazio, who played in a half-dozen other European countries including Russia after the tournament won by…

The Bruins outhustled the Canadiens, checked them closely and beat them to the puck most of the time. They earned the victory. Dollard St. Laurent collided with Leo Labine in the second period and suffered a concussion. Referee Bed Storey called eight minor penalties, five against the Canadiens. One figured directly in the scoring and another indirectly. Flem Mackell set a playoff assists record, the previous N.H.L record of 12 was…
