Montreal Canadiens
Strong Points: Scoring power. Canadiens still have the potential to outscore any team in the league, with half a dozen of their forwards capable of a 20 or more goal season. Bernard Geoffrion, Beliveau, Richard, Gilles Tremblay, Backstrom, Provost and Rousseau can all qualify for 20 or more goals; and that adds up to a lot of firepower. The team’s main strength is still to be found in its collective scoring punch with Geoffrion expected to be a big figure barring injuries. Weak Points : Left Wing and Defense. The left wing problem is one that has plagued Habs over the past few seasons and retirement of Dickie Moore has further aggravated the situation. Only time will tell whether the new recruits can solve it. New Faces: First and foremost, Gump Worsley,…

Kurtenbach Making Effort To Catch Bruins’ Centre Spot In Third Big League Chance
BOSTON, Mass.— Bruins’ coach Milt Schmidt believes his Boston team this season is stronger down the centre than it has been for many years and Milt should know. He was one of the NHL’s top pivots for better than 10 years. Schmidt said the Bruins were real solid down the middle with Murray Oliver, Bob Leiter, Forbes Kennedy, Orland Kurtenbach and veteran defenseman Doug Mohns, who has been shifted back into centre this season during training camp. Kurtenbach, a former Bruin and Ranger getting a third chance, has been one of the big surprises of the Boston camp here at the Garden. The Bruins have optioned six outstanding young hockey prospects to their farm team in the new Central Hockey League, Manager Lynn Patrick announced. The six are forwards Terry Crisp, Jeannot Gilbert, Wayne…
