Aces Foiled By Edwards’ Hot Goaling
BUFFALO, N.Y. Roy Edwards isn’t likely to be anywhere near the head of the polls in the American Hockey League all-star voting this season, but the sometime goaltender of the Buffalo Bisons tortured the Quebec Aces and Floyd Curry recently. Edwards was a dominating figure in a 3-1 win over the Eastern Division leaders, and Curry, the Quebec coach, praised Roy’s work as the “best goaltending job turned in against us this season.” Edwards made two spectacular stops on breakaways in the first two minutes, and finished with six saves after Quebecers had broken into the clear.

The successful efforts of general manager Wren Blair in achieving that objective has paid dividends for the Comets in the last three months of the campaign and makes the club one of the favorites to win the playoffs which open next week. Although he didn’t report to Clinton until mid-November and took almost a month before he played himself into condition. Lalande has vaulted into the EHL scoring parade.
