Bisons Show Promise As Road Winner
BUFFALO, N.Y— The newest edition of the Buffalo Bisons promises to provide a much better road record than last winter’s club. A year ago, the Herd won a total of 9 away games. This season, after dropping the road opener at Rochester, the Bisons won at Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Providence before dropping a 3-0 decision to the champion Indians at Springfield. That loss snapped a five-game winning streak, and the Indians came right back with another 3-0 triumph in Buffalo to wind up a home-and-home weekend series. The Bisons collected only 19 goals in their first nine games, and the twin shutouts at the hands of the Indians served to show up the lack of scoring punch. But the brilliant goal-tending of Denis DeJordy, together with improved play on the road, augured well for the…
NATIONAL LEAGUE
30 Goal Men Scarce The 1948-49 season was one of the few in the last decade when a NHL player did not score 30 goals or more. The closest to the 30 mark came off the stick of Detroit’s Sid Abel who connected for 28. Sid ended third in scoring with 54 points. Sloan 37 Man. Too When Frank Mahovlich scored his 38th goal of the season last year it was written that he broke a long-standing team record held by Gaye Stewart, who had held the record of 37 in a season.

Laycoe Fires Blast At Spokane’s Rough Play
EDMONTON, Alta.— You would think that all would be right with Harold Laycoe’s world these days. His Portland Buckaroos are away and winging in defence of their Western Hockey League crown. Typical is Art Jones, who proved his scoring championship of last year was no fluke. He quickly opened up daylight on the field as the current campaign got under way. Yet, the Professor saw fit to let loose a blast in the direction of Roy McBride’s Spokane Comets. They are playing it too rough, Laycoe complained to Western League prexy Al Leader, who at this writing had the matter under advisement. Of course, Laycoe has it going for him that McBride served fair warning on the rest of the league that the Comets weren’t going to be pushed around. So the Portland boss is…
