Boon’s Dismal Play This Season One Of Leafs’ Disappointments
TORONTO, Ont. What happened to Bobby Baun? That was the number one hockey mystery in Toronto as the Maple Leafs’ 1965-66 season drew to a close. At this time a year ago, Baun was rated among the four best defensemen in the National Hockey league. He was fourth in all-star voting on the second half of the 1964-65 schedule and just missed an overall nomination. He was good in the Stanley Cup playoffs, too, although Leafs didn’t make it to the finals. Here’s how far he’s declined since then: he finished up as Leaf’s spare defenseman, used only for emergency duty when one of the four first-stringers needed relief. The regular pairs were Marcel Pronovost and Tim Horton, Kent Douglas and Larry Hillman. Injured Allan Stanley rated ahead of Baun, too. The Boomer’s…
Eight New Penalty Records Set In Playoffs
“you like 7up 7up likes you” “you like 7up 7up likes you” TORONTO, Ont. — When Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs mix things up in a playoff series they don’t mess around. It’s all or nothing for the perennial Canadian NHL rivals. During their fourth-game semi-final playoff donny-brook, the teams established eight new Stanley Cup playoff penalty records and equalled another. Here’s a breakdown on the new records: 1—Most penalties, one team, one period — 12 to Montreal, breaking a mark of eight established by Boston Bruins at New York against the Rangers, April 4, 1927, in the second period and tied on five other occasions, three times by Toronto and twice by Montreal. 2—Most penalties both teams, one period—23, breaking a record of 16 set by Toronto and Montreal at Montreal in the first period…
Squatty Detroit Rearguard Pays Off On Boston Trade As Abel Hoped
DETROIT, Mich. Out of every Stanley Cup playoff there seems to come an unsung hero. Remember Alex Faulkner — “Newfie” — of the Red Wings a few years ago? The little blond crewcut, Newfoundland’s first National Hockey Leaguer, starred against Chicago and Toronto. Montreal’s Claude Provost came up with an excellent shadowing effort against Bobby Hull a year ago and spiked Hull’s big stick. And now a Fire Hydrant is trying to put cold water on the Red Wings’ rivals. Fire Hydrant? That’s what the Wings called Leo Boivin when he first pulled on his fire engine red home uniform. Leo is built like a fire plug, short and squatty, and he’s just as tough. Boivin scattered Chicago Black Hawks to the four corners of Chicago Stadium to open the Detroit-Chicago semifinal and this was the Boivin…
