New Bruin Surprises With Play
BOSTON, Mass.— Bill Knibbs, rookie Bruins centre, is no Dave Keon as a skater. In fact, skating appears to be Knibbs’ biggest hurdle in his bid for a NHL career, but Coach Milt Schmidt has taken a fancy to the hard-nosed youngster from Toronto. “He has surprised me,” says Schmidt. “He seemed slow when he first came up from Minneapolis, but the more he plays, the faster and quicker he seems to get. “Bill is a fine forechecker. That’s because his timing is exceptional. He’s a deceptive skater, and that’s what had me fooled when he first came up. He skates with his legs far apart and doesn’t seem to have much rhythm. I think he’ll improve in that department.”…
Ullman Becomes New Leader For Wings With Big Goals
DETROIT, Mich.— Norm Ullman, recovered from a string of three over-lapping maladies, is leading his line and the Red Wings again. Ullman cooled off a bit when playing with a broken middle finger, torn rib cartilage and then the flu and so did the Detroiters. The 29-year-old centre, in his 10th National Hockey League season, didn’t miss a game with the ailments but he wasn’t producing the way he had been earlier. Ullman, with linemates Ron Murphy and Floyd Smith, showed a complete recovery in the dying days of December with the line accounting for all the goals in a 3-1 victory over New York. Ullman and Smith have been together season-long but there have been a number of left wings. Larry Jeffrey started there but was sidelined by knee surgery. Parker MacDonald and Ted…
Hub Fans Growing More Resentful Heap Abuse On Club’s Top Players, Oliver, Bucyk Among Crowd Targets
BOSTON, Mass.— In China, this is the year of the Dragon. In Boston, it’s the year of the razzberry, the big, juicy b-r-r-r-ack and at least a half-dozen Bruin players are aware of this fact. Boston fans, in fact, are becoming increasingly impatient with a team that started off winless in nine games and has shown scant improvement since. Game after game, disillusioned Boston fans have littered the ice with debris and heaped verbal abuse on several targets, among them Ab McDonald, John Bucyk, Orland Kurtenbach and Bob McCord. Lately centre Murray Oliver has come in for his share of vilification. Totally absolved—not necessarily on merit, but on fan appeal—have been goaltender Eddie Johnston, musclemen Ted Green, Reggie Fleming and Forbes Kennedy and hard-driving wing Dean Prentice, the team’s leading goal-getter and most consistent…
