Armstrong Clicks After 17-Game Drought
ROCHESTER, N.Y.— Stan Smrke spotted Red Armstrong in position and passed him the puck. Red shot, the red light flashed and 5,589 Rochester Americans hockey fans at the War Memorial here let’ loose with a tremendous cheer. Play was held up while Armstrong retrieved the puck from the twines behind Buffalo goalie Roy Edwards, skated out to the boards near center ice and tossed the puck to a fan. One might have thought Armstrong had just knocked in his 30th goal of the season, 100th of his American League career or had reached some other milestone. Well, in a way, he had. When Red, whose mediocre play had left him in danger of losing his “The People’s Choice” tag, scored at 12:19 of the third period here on Dec. 3, it was only his…
Polano Making Trade Pay Off For Clippers
BALTIMORE, Md.— When coach and general manager Terry Reardon swapped young defenseman Pete Ford for Nick Polano in the final stroke of a big rebuilding job here prior to the season most Baltimore hockey buffs winced. “Mathers has put one over on us,” one newsman declared, referring to the coach of the Hershey Bears with whom the deal was consummated. Ford, only 24, seemed to be the last “young” prospect who seemed to hold promise after the Clippers’ worst year in their AHL history last campaign. With Ken Stephanson gone in a trade with Providence it seemed that Reardon was destined to go with an ancient backline which included Doug Harvey, 41 years old, Aide Guidolin (34), Bob Wilson (32) and Ron Ingram (33). But things haven’t gone exactly as the observers figured. The…
The Player Of The Week
The threat of demotion to the minor leagues very often will rouse a player out of his lethargy but the Montreal Canadiens probably never expected it would have the effect it has when they read the riot act to right winger Claude Larose 10 days ago. Today Larose is the hottest thing in the NHL and all because the Canadiens were thinking of sending him to Houston of the CPHL or Quebec of the AHL. The muscular winger got the message and in the last three games before Sunday night’s 4-2 loss to Rangers in New York, Larose came through to score seven times. Three of his goals came in one game for a ‘hat trick’ as the Habs bombed Detroit 5-1. Larose’s goals were not of the fluky nature either. Three of…
