Lesser Lights Grab Limelight In Playoff Outburst For Habs
MONTREAL — Be they unlikely or expected, heroes will always emerge in the playoffs, and for the Montreal Canadiens, their heroes were both expected and unlikely. The expected: Yvan Coumoyer. Last year’s Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoff MVP, who scored five goals in two games of the quarter-finals. The unlikely: Steve Shutt, the sophomore with the bullet-like shot that looked more like a pop-gun in the last half of the season, who scored four times in the first four games and was one of the Canadiens’ leading players throughout the players. Another unlikely: Michel “Bunny” Larocque, the rookie netminder with only two games played during the last month of the season, who gave the Habs the kind of playoff netminding they had become accustomed to under men such as Dryden. Vachon and Worsley. The…
Retiring Worsley Offered Scouting Job With Stars
TWIN CITIES— Is it really true that we’ve seen the last of the little round man in the barrel? Gump Worsley has retired twice from hockey and each time he was talked into a comeback by Wren Blair, but as the Minnesota North Stars packed away their equipment recently. Worsley said definitely that he was through. It marked the end of a distinguished goalkeeping career encompassing 25 years of professional hockey. Worsley broke in as a pro. ironically, with the St. Paul Saints of the U.S. Hockey League in 1950 and closed it out across the river in Bloomington wearing the green and white spangles of the North Stars. Nobody was ever more serious about his job than the 5’7”. 180-pound Gump, but off the ice he was a witty and genial companion. Worsley…

SCHMAUTZ, SHEPPARD, BUCYK — REPRESENT SINDEN’S INSURANCE FOR ANOTHER BOSTON CUP WIN
BOSTON— When the Bruins went into training camp last fall, is someone had said that the line which would be one of the toughest in the later part of the season and would bear the brunt of the offense into the playoffs would consist of Gregg Sheppard. John Bucyk and Bobby Schmautz. he would have been surrounded by blank stares. And. when Sheppard spent the first half of the season trying to beg. borrow or steal goal, the prospect seemed highly unlikely. Schmautz wasn’t even with the club, and Bucyk was going to be rested now and again as befitted his status as the Bruins’ older statesman. General manager Harry Sinden knew that if the Bruins had any intentions of winning the cup back they relinquished to Montreal last season, he would most…
