The Other Mahovlich Squares The Red Wings
(As seen In The Toronto Star) THE DETROIT RED WINGS obviously never heard the time honored South American slogan that you never steal a horse, if you can steal a goat, because the horse will eat you out of house and home. Sid Abel, who runs the Redbirds, likes to think they stole Pete Mahovlich from the Toronto Maple Leafs. His assistant, Johnny Mitchell, is sure they did, and it gives him unadulterated joy. “Makes up for Frank Mahovlich … You know they stole him from us,” Mitchell fumes. “I was the first guy who talked to him. He was at Schumacher, where I signed Bill Barilko and four other kids, years before. “Couldn’t sign Mahovlich to nothin’. He was too young. I told him there would be 40 other guys come to see…
Leafs’ Gillow Gets First After 29 Games
FORT WAYNE, Ind.— Credit for’the first shutout of the season in the International Hockey League goes to Des Moines goalie Russ Gillow, who blanked the Fort Wayne Komets, 10, on November 2. It was the first shutout recorded in the IHL in 21 games and the only one in the first 29. This left the goaltenders far behind last season’s performances, when the first whitewash was recorded in the eighth game and there was a total of four in the first 17. Gillow stopped 35 shots in blanking the Komets, who suffered their first shutout at home since March 24, 1965. The Oak Leafs administered that, too, behind goalie Ray Mikulan and this was their first shutout on the road since that date. Gillow is a 27-year-old veteran belonging to the Boston Bruins. Coach…
