Bruins Tired Of Being Pushed Around Turn On Leading Habs With Vengeance; Kennedy Sizzles As Penalty Killer
“you like 7up 7up likes you” “you like 7up 7up likes you” BOSTON, Mass. There’s a saying in professional sport that you never make fun of an also-ran team. Don’t get ‘em mad at you, or you’ll regret it. Well, the Montreal Canadiens learned this the hard way when the Bruins knocked ‘em off for the first time in nine meetings recently. Les Habitants had won seven and tied an eighth game and had just polished off the B’s 5-1 at the Forum. That’s where the Bruins started building up a head of steam that led to a 3-0 victory the very next night and goaltender Eddie Johnston’s third shutout of the season. Defenseman Ted Green explained what happened later to newsmen. ‴They got away with a lot of cheap stuff in the first two periods.…
Boyer, Cheevers, Litzenberger Star As Americans Put In Hectic Five Days
ROCHESTER, N.Y. It’s impossible to sort out the feature of the five-day span from Jan. 20 through the 24th for the Rochester Americans. Glancing over the happenings in chronological order, we see that: Jan. 20 The Amerks went into Buffalo to face the only club with a chance of overhauling them for the American Hockey League’s Western Division crown and came out with a 1-0 victory. Wally Boyer scored the game’s only goal with only a minute and 19 seconds remaining and his team a man short because of a penalty. Boyer picked up the puck in his own end and went the length of the ice for the big unassisted tally. Goalie Jerry Cheevers held the high-scoring Bisons scoreless for the third time this season while posting his fourth shutout. Three of his whitewashings have…
Seattle Crowd Hits 13,563 But Totems Blow WHL Game
SEATTLE, Wash. The Seattle Totems appear to be a hockey team that can’t stand prosperity. The Totems had their largest hockey crowd of all time--13,563--on hand to watch them play the Portland Buckaroos Jan. 23. What happens? The Totems went out and blew the game 5-4 in overtime. But the ironic part of it all was that the next night on the same ice, Seattle creamed San Francisco 8-1 with only half the crowd of the previous night watching.…
EHL Scoring Race Wide Open
GREENSBORO, N. C. The individual scoring title that Garry Sharp of Greensboro appeared to have wrapped up a few weeks back is now a wide open race. Orval Tessier, of Clinton, and Dick Roberge of Johnstown have passed Sharp in the race, and Garry’s mates, Don Davidson, Ron Muir, and Don Carter also are not far behind him. Sharp’s prolonged slump, coinciding with his club’s descent, gives Tessier a chance to win in his first year in the league even though he will play less games than any of his rivals because of a late start. Roberge won the scoring crown twice before in 1955-56 with 118 points and in 1961-62 with 117 points. Davidson won last season with 120 points when Sharp was fifth with 108. Roberge’s 84 points have lifted him…
