Player - of - the - Week
SPRINGFIELD, Mass.— Veteran Left Winger Jim Anderson is on a comeback trail in the American Hockey League that could make the Springfield Indians the choices to repeat again for the league flag. Anderson had a disappointing season with the Indians in 1959-60, scoring only 16 goals and adding 21 assists. The season before he had potted 27. But this year the former rookie of the year in the AHL seems to be back in high gear. Last week he picked up two goals and added three assists for five points. He boosted his total to six goals, tied with teammate Bruce Cline for the league leadership and moved into a third place tie in the scoring race with 10 points. The Indians won two and dropped one last week. It was only their…
Gump Regains ‘Toast Of Manhattan’ Tag
NEW YORK, N.Y.— Lorne “Gump” Worsley still is pudgy. (Who likes pudgy goal-tenders? Coaches don’t.) The Gump still flops all over the place. (You know what the book says about that. Strictly taboo.) And, Worsley still has someone threatening to take his job away. (Supposed to make him nervous and ineffective.) But the irascible, irrepressible Gump still is the flangers number one goalkeeper … faster, sharper and more nonplussed than ever. Not bad for a little guy who was washed up as a Ranger last Spring. “I had a deal all set for Boston — Gump Worsley for Al Rollins and another player,” revealed Muzz Patrick, confirming a HOCKEY NEWS exclusive of July. “All Boston had to do was get Rollins out of retirement. But Rollins stayed retired. I’m glad he did. Worsley’s never been better.” The 31-year…
Bruins Get New Zip From Bucyk By Simply Sewing ‘A’ On Jersey
BOSTON, Mass.— A new responsibility seems to have developed a new consistency in Johnny Bucyk of the Boston Bruins. For the past four years Bucky has been a member of the Bruins’ famed “Like” Line, with Bronco Horvath and Vic Stasiuk as his linemates. But, until this year, Bucyk’s role with the Ukes was that of the “kid brother.” Big Stasiuk was an established National League star when Bucyk came here in a trade with the Detroit Red Wings. Horvath, who arrived at the same time as Bucyk, scored 30 goals his first year here and 39 goals a year ago to qualify as the most prolific Bruins’ scorer of the era. In the chain of command on the Ukes, young Johnny ranked third, behind the fiery Horvath and the veteran Stasiuk. But the 25-year old Bucyk…
