Wings Had Desire - Hawks Didn’t
DETROIT, Mich.— The Red Wings have twisted that woman’s magazine slogan to “Never Underestimate the Power of the Red Wings.” The Chicago Black Hawks did for the second straight year and Red Wings banged the regular season runnersup out of the Stanley Cup playoffs. “We outgutted them,” said happy Red Wing boss Sid Abel after the seven game semi-final. “We wanted to win it more than they did.” Neutral observers said the Wings outplayed the Hawks in all but one game but it still took seven games to drop Chicago. Abel’s strategy was to concentrate on Hawk captain Pierre Pilote and after the first game, during which Pilote scored the winning goal and had two assists, Abel detailed his centers to watch Pilote. Norm Ullman’s line handled Chicago’s Scooter unit and Ullman, with two hat tricks,…
Young Black Hawk Prospect, Stanfield Wins OHA Award
ST. CATHARINES, Ont. Fred Stanfield, captain of St. Catharines, Black Hawks has been named 1963-64 winner of the Max Kaminsky Memorial Trophy. The award is similar to the Lady Byng Trophy in the National Hockey League and goes annually to the player in the Ontario Hockey Association junior A league who, in the opinion of a panel of sports writers and sportscasters, best combines gentlemanly conduct with a high standard of playing ability. It is named in memory of the late Max Kaminsky who died just one year after coaching St. Catharines Teepees to the Memorial Cup in the spring of 1960. One sports writer and one sportscaster in each of the eight cities here junior A is played is eligible to vote for three players in order of merit. On the basis of five…
Liscombe Joins Wings’ Ice Greats
DETROIT, Mich.— ICE CHIPS: Carl Liscombe, a Red Wing from 1937 to 1946, was voted into the Detroit Hockey Hall of Fame. Liscombe, now a suburban Detroit resident, still holds the club record for most points in a game — seven on three goals and four assists against New York on Nov. 5, 1942. Liscombe had 137 goals and 140 assists in nine seasons and scored 36 goals in 1943-44. He also holds the American League one-season goal record of 55 set at Providence in 1948-49. Ex-Red Wing great Ted Lindsay handled the closed circuit television for the Wings during the finals. Lindsay, a manufacturer’s agent in Detroit, also has a weekly television sports show.…
Detroit Squares Final Series On Jeffrey’s Overtime Goal
TORONTO, Ont. The Detroit Red Wings - - getting a maximum effort from their money players - - pulled up on even terms with the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Stanley Cup finals as they toppled the Leafs 4-3. Sparked by Norm Ullman’s tremendous two-way game and Larry Jeffrey’s overtime-period goal, the Wings came back to tie their best-of-seven final series at 1-1 with the teams headed for Detroit ice, site of the next two games of the series. Ullman was the key man for the Wings as he scored twice - - his seventh playoff goal - - and set up the winning goal by Jeffrey at 7.52 of the sudden-death overtime. The veteran Red Wing centre admitted after the game, “it was one of the best games I’ve ever played.” The Leafs…
