Canadiens Hoping First Road Trip Will Help Team Find Scoring Punch

MONTREAL, Que.— The Canadiens are hoping that a change of scenery will give them a lift and restore their oldtime scoring punch. Currently on a swing around the NHL circuit which keeps them away from home till Nov. 26, the Habs are understandably goal-hungry. They’d managed just 19 goals in their first eight games of the season, while posting a record of four wins, three losses and a tie. Last season, after the same number of games, they’d scored 33 goals and had a 5-2-1 record. In some respects Canadiens could consider themselves lucky that they owned four wins in the first eight outings. Their play had been spotty enough for them to have lost a couple of more, though injuries had certainly contributed to the overall showing. “We haven’t played one really good…

Leafs Send Selby To Vancouver Club

TORONTO, Ont.— Hockey fans will best remember Brit Selby as the promising young National Leaguer last season who won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year. Today Selby is in the minors, a disillusioned and somewhat discouraged hockey player. The Toronto Leafs decided Selby was expendable and promptly shipped him out to aid Bert Olmstead of the Vancouver Canucks, who was bitten by a player revolt that saw eight of his players placed on the suspended list. Olmstead lost Billy McNeil, who walked out on the Canucks, among others and he was frantically seeking help. Manager-coach Punch Imlach, Olmstead’s old boss, answered the SOS call from the WHL club and sent both Selby and Barry Watson, another product of the Leafs’ junior hockey empire, to Vancouver.
