We don’t dare discuss the Stanley Cup semi-finals because we hadn’t the results of Thursday night’s games when we sent this column to the linotype operator. course. after these second games we can have lots to say about the four teams which are dead serious about capturing the cup won last sess- on by Punch lmlach’s Maple Leafs.

Indeed we couldn’t talk about the 01d Spain Penguins be- cause we put these thoughts together long before the Old Spain- ers took to the ice in the York Arena in the capital citv of New Brunswick.

THAT leaves us with Sandy's Parkdale Royals who tackle Fredericton Capitals tonight and Saturday afternonn in the third and to games for the New runswick - Prince Ed- ward Island intermediate ‘A' hockey crown.

The Parkdalers went to Fredericton the first part of this week and were able to manage a split in the two games play- ed there_ They won the opener 5-3 but were swamped 8-2 in the second. However, the Royals had a mere shell of a team over there and they were fortunate to escape with that first game. After Apps Arsenault was hurt TueSday night. the Royals had

By DAVE BETTS i

TORONTO [CPI—“I just had‘

enough control of the puck left to steer it in."

This was the way Toronto Maple Leafs‘ wonder boy Dave Keon described the goal that put Montreal Canadiens behind 2-0 in their semi-final Stanley Cup series.

Keon guided a slider pasti Montreal goalie Jacques Plante at 16:35 of the second period to put Leafs ahead for good.

"I was cutting in with (Terry) Harper pushing by elbow." said Keon, "I tried to move the puck out front but. didn’t have enough control. I just had enough control left to sort 0 steer it in. It never left the

said the opening goal in the first pcrlod was a “gift.” The Chief stole the puck at-

the Montreal bluellne and lifted: a 15-footer toward the Montreal; net.

Coach Punch Imlach, slumped in an armchair in an outer room, wasn’t admitting any happiness.

Imlach had various com- plaints about his defence. about his top line, and in particular about star left winger Frank Mahovlich.

Canadiens didn't get the breaks. especially in the final period when the puck didn't bounce their way at times and Leafs defender-s often happened to get

Only casualty of the game was Canadiens' Gilles Trem- blay. who suffered a cut from Pulford's elbow on the inside of his upper lip. Club officials and Tremblay said after the game that he'll probably play Satur- day.
