Ranger s Kick Off NHL’s 48th Season By Spilling Bruins In Late Opener
BOSTON, Mass.—, The New York Rangers made their 1963-64 player trading look like a million dollars as they launched the National Hockey League’s 4 8th season on a winning note. The Blues toppled the Boston Bruins 6-2 before 13,909 fans in the Boston Garden and it was most of the Rangers’ new faces that grabbed the spotlight in the league’s latest opener since the 1949-50 season, the first of the 70-game years for the NHL. The Rangers got a maximum effort from ‘new’ players like Bob Nevin, Dick Duff, Donnie Marshall, Rod Seiling, Arnie Brown, and rookie Lou Angotti, all acquired in trades, as they spilled the Bruins in Boston with a last-minute goaling replacement, Marcel Paille, also proving a stickout for the New York Rangers. Marshall had the distinction of scoring the…
Injury-Racked Rangers Create New Problems For Sullivan; Goyette, Henry, Duff Hurt
NEW YORK, N.Y. — Red Sullivan couldn’t be certain, as his New York Rangers headed into their National League lid-lifter at Boston and their home opener with Montreal just how good his team is going to be. He hasn’t seen it together enough to know. In one of the final warmups at Boston, for example, four regulars were not even in Beantown, which helps explain why the revamped Bruins had an 8-1 cakewalk. Two-thirds of the Blues’ top forward line, Phil Goyette and Camille Henry, plus netminder Jacques Plante were in New York for medical examinations of stubborn injuries. And left-winger Dick Duff was home in Kirkland Lake, Ont., nursing a bruised ankle, still tender from stopping a shot two games before. On the eve of battle for keeps, word was that Goyette’s…
Beliveau Plays Big Role In Win Oliver Connects For Game-Winner
(as seen in the Toronto Globe & Mail) TORONTO. Ont. The National Hockey League All-Stars took a while to get acquainted in the 18th annual ice classic. However, once they did they came on strongly and defeated Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 at the Gardens. Boston Bruin defenseman Lee Boivin broke the goaless tie mid-way in the second period as Stars were never behind. There were times when they thoroughly dominated the Stanley Cup Champions. Leaf goaltending, by Johnny Bower and Terry Sawchuk, particularly Bower in the second period, made the score closer than the game. Detroit Red Wings’ Sid Abel, unbeaten in three games as coach of the Stars, did not play club lines. Rather he mixed his talent and in doing so showed a crowd of 14,200 one of the great lines of…
Selectors Give Chicago Edge In Annual Hockey News Poll
MONTREAL, Que. The Chicago Black Hawks will be the team to beat for the NHL championship this season according to the experts who gave the Hawks top billing in THE HOCKEY NEWS 15th annual selection poll. The Hawks, who have never finished first in their 38 years in the NHL, barely edged out the three-time world champion Toronto Maple Leafs in the poll in which points were awarded on the basis of six for a first place vote, five for second, four for third and so on down the line. Chicago was chosen by eight of the 18 hockey writers, sportscasters and telecasters to finish in first place. The Leafs were picked by seven others. In the final point tabulation, the Hawks received 91 points, the Leafs, 89. Three selectors from every NHL…
