Goyette, Hadfield Spark Early Blues’ Drive
NEW YORK, N.Y. – A year ago the New York Rangers crawled out of the starting gate at a 2-5-2 pace for the first nine games. This season with five games now history they have burst out as if to lap the field. The Blueshirts won three, lost one and tied one in their opening action. The main accolades in this early spurt must go to Center Phil Goyette and left wing Vic Hadfield. Goyette, the soft spoken 34-year-old center from Lachine, Quebec was moving at a fantastic goal a game pace. He had tallied five goals and two assists for seven points and was playing the best hockey of his twelve year NHL career. Phil got both Ranger tallies against the Montreal Canadiens in the home opener on October 18. His first…
Wilson, Caron, Henry New Hot Line
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Larry Wilson ended his holdout siege shortly after Camille Henry joined the Buffalo Blisons, and Coach Fred S h e r o promptly put them together on a line with Alain (Boom Boom) Caron. With Wilson at center and Henry on the left side, Shero was confident he would have one of the highest-scoring threesomes in the league this winter. “They have been going real good in practice, and are dangerous every time they step on the ice,” Shero said. “Larry and Camille need’ some game conditioning, then watch them fly.” Wilson missed the first three games as a holdout, and Henry was sent down by the parent New York Rangers after the Herd had played three games. In their first start together, a 3-2, come-from-behind win over Baltimore, Wilson and Caron…
High Stick Almost Cost Army An Eye
TORONTO, Ont. — A blow — accidental — from Bobby Hull’s stick almost cost George Armstrong the sight of one eye. Fortunately, there were cuts over and under the peeper and only a nick in the eyeball, which kept the Maple Leaf captain out of only one game. However, Brian Conacher replaced him at rightwing with Dave Keon and Frank Mahovlich and was spelled off only intermittently by The Chief. Not so fortunate is centre Murray Oliver, who’s been struck down by a painful, and somewhat embarrassing Injury just when he had a chance to nail down a full-time job as centre for Bob Pulford and Ron Ellis. Oliver has a gigantic bruise in what would be described as the nether regions of his back. It’s painful to move and even more agonizing…
Goaling Problems Plague Teams As Only Three Netminders Return
TOLEDO, O. — Along with greatly changed personnel in other departments the International Hockey League is introducing some new faces behind the goaltenders* masks this season. As the season started, four of the seven clubs were having goalie problems and only three started the campaign with last year’s netminders. These were Toledo, where Glenn Ramsay was back after plans for a tryout with St. Louis in the National League misfired; Fort Wayne, where Gerry Randall was starting his third year and Columbus, where both Andre Daoust and Matt Thorp from last year, were available. Coach Howie Milford at Des Moines had his troubles. He lost Russ Gillow, last year’s “most valuable” player. Then he counted on Gary Simmons, who played with the Leafs two years ago but Simmons packed his bags and left…
