Muzz Picks Rangers Over Wings, Bruins
RANGERABLIA: Jack Mc-Cartan’s asking price was said to be in excess of $10,000 … Patrick visited Billy McNeill and Al Rollins in mid-August to get definitive statements about their hockey plans … A Rollins’ okay (which Muzz hoped for last June) would have set in motion a large trade, likely with the Bruins … Muzz sees the Rangers better than the Red Wings and Bruins and about even with Toronto.

NEW YORK, N.Y.— IT ALMOST APPEARS likely that Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s On First?” routine can be pertinently applied to the NHL goaltending outlook for 1960-61. Except for the indefatigatible Glenn Hall of Chicago and Montreal’s irrepressible Jacques Plante, it’s anybody’s guess who is going to start let alone finish between the pipes for Toronto, Detroit, Boston and New York. The Red Wings have Terry Sawchuk and Dennis Riggin. Toronto is expected to go with Johnny Bower and Ed Chadwick while Boston has Don Simmons, Bruce Gamble and, who knows, maybe even…
