Denver, San Francisco Show Might On Road; Barlow Tough On Goalies With Second ‘Hat’
DENVER, Colo.— No homers, those Denver and San Francisco clubs. As a matter of fact, the two clubs surged into an early lead in the Western League by playing on the road. Unable to count a victory in their only home game, the Seals then took to the pike and racked up three straight wins, while the mid west Invaders, after a win and a loss at home, picked up two on the road. It was 3-1 and the co-lead for the two clubs after four games, and a couple of significant things happened along the way On the San Francisco side of the ledger, it is interesting to note that there was one game where the goals were harvested in bushel baskets — and all of this while two pretty good net minders…
PASSING THE PUCK
BOSTON — ED JOHNSTON played a whale of a game here the other night in registering his second NHL shutout and first of this season, as the Bruins blanked Toronto, 2-0. Johnston has played brilliantly for the Bruins this year but his teammates have been unable to score any goals for him … The Rangers shut out the Bruins, 2-0, here three nights earlier and it was a game the Bruins might have won with any amount of luck. The Boston forwards just couldn’t make the most of their opportunities, sometimes it was erratic shooting and lack of concentration, other times they were simply out lucked and of course you couldn’t take anything away from Jacques Plante as he annexed his second shutout of the season and once again came…
Turner’s Arrival Timely As Injuries Strike Herd
BUFFALO, N.Y. Injuries hit the Buffalo Bisons twice in the same position in the first week of the American Hockey League season, with left wingers Doug Robinson and Brian Smith both taking their hockey from the stands. Actually, Smith was hurt before the season started, but the gravity of the ailment wasn’t learned until opening day. Smith suffered a slight separation of his right shoulder when he was checked in the final training camp scrimmage by defenseman Ed Van Impe. Robinson, last year’s AHL No. 1 rookie, suffered a knee injury in the second game of the schedule at Rochester after scoring two goals in the Bisons’ 5-4 win. Smith was expected to be out for as long as a month or six weeks, but Robinson was listed for only a week to 10…
Goyette Equals Record Notching Four Assists
NEW YORK, N.Y.— The New York Rangers won their opening two hockey games as a direct result of a trade executed this Summer with the Montreal Canadiens. This was the obvious conclusion as Jacques Plante shut out the Detroit Red Wings in the premiere and Phil Goyette followed with an NHL-record-tying effort as the Blues bombed Boston 5-1 in the second showing. Goyette,. an articulate center, was architect on four goals in the first period against Bruin goaltender Eddie Johnston thus equaling a mark set by Phil Watson when he played for Montreal. Watson received his four assists on March 18, 1944 in a game against the Rangers. Goyette, who came to New York in the celebrated trade with Plante and Don Marshall — with Gump Worsley, Dave Baton, etc. to Canadiens — has successfully…
