PASSING THE PUCK
• DETROIT RED WINGS haven’t missed Red Kelly since the veteran left the team in early February…The Wings have played some of their best hockey of the season since that time…Kelly, on the other hand, has been a great boon to Toronto and he is expected to be one of the Leaf leaders in the Stanley Cup playoffs…Montreal Canadiens are worried about Jacques Plante…They’re not sure whether the controversial mask has been responsible for his poor play of late or whether he is slipping on his own and just isn’t as good as he was once…Plante has the poorest record this season that he has had for a long time…Lome Worsley guested on our Hockey Preview TV show last week and as is usually the case when he appears on…
Skov’s Two Gives Chi First Whiff Of Playoff Stew
CHICAGO, III.— Veteran center Glen Skov of the Black Hawks got two of the most important goals of his career on home ice March 6 as Chicago soundly whipped the champion Canadiens, 4-2, to just about sew up what earlier had been a pretty shakey chance for a Stanley Cup playoff berth. “When was the most satisfying game that you have ever played in?” Skov was asked rather coyly by a writer after the game. “What’s the date today?” he bounced back with a grin from one ear to the other. “I don’t think I have ever seen a happier or bigger smile on anyone’s face than he showed when he normed in that second one,” mused Jim Norris, Black Hawks co-owner. The two markers, by the way were what turned out to…
AHL Governors To Discuss Shore’s Appeal On Penalty
NEW YORK, N.Y.—The American Hockey League’s Board Of Governors will review the case of Eddie Shore and the $2,000 fine levied on him last week by President Richard Canning. The Fine was plastered on the owner of the Springfield Indians for what Canning’s office termed actions “prejudicial to the game”. The Board-will meet in New York on March 18th to discuss Shore’s appeal of his fine. The fine came out of an incident in a game in Springfeild on February 19th against the Cleveland Barons. The goal judge signaled that a Springfield goal had been scored. However, Lou Farelli overruled him and called it no goal. Then Shore removed the goal judge and refused to allow another to take his place. The game continued with only one judge. Springfield won the game 3-2,…
Flin Flon And Regina Surge Ahead In Saskatchewan Race
SASKATOON, Sask.— The finalists in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League this year certainly will have earned their spurs. Both best-of-seven semi-finals went the limit. At the time of this writing Flin Flon Bombers led Saskatoon Quakers 3-2 with one game tied, and Regina Pats and Prince Albert Mintos were all even at three victories apiece. The odds now slant towards the favorites—first place Flin Flon and runner-up Regina—as both play host to the all-important seventh encounter. There were times in the series when both underdogs—Saskatoon and Prince Albert—held the upper hand. But the power and polish off the season’s leaders finally came to the fore and pushed the playoffs to their extremities. Quakers satisfied themselves in the early part of the series, losing 3-1 and winning 5-2 in a weekend double bill at Flin Flon. Returning…
