A Different Look

THERE'S a far different look to those NHL standings as cornpared to one year ago when Montreal Canadians and

to Maple Leafs were battling for first place.

It’s hard to believe but it's nevertheless true that those Red Wings from Detroit are breezing along undefeated in their first ten starts. They own eight victories and two ties in that space of time and are riding away ahead with 18 points. five better than second place Chicago Black Hawks who have played two more contests.

SATURDAY night. viewers got their first glimpse of the Detmtters and it was quite a look. The Red Wings blasted the Leafs 7-3 before a stunned Maple Leaf Gardens.

With the score 2-0 in their favor, it appeared as mough the Red Wings were out to blank the Toronto squad once again. However. Dave Keon's two quick markers changed the com- plexion of things and for a time the Leafs took over in a big way.

In the third period with the score reading 3-3. Toronto swarmed all over the league leaders and it was only terrific goaltending by Sawchuk that kept things on an even keel. Then came the break with the two Toronto defencemen falling and Gordie Howe, alway the opportunist, beating Bower for the Red Wings’ fourth goal. After that the Motor City gang went to work in earnest and added three more goals to their total before

e final siren.

A Winning Complex

THESE Wings looked like a team that halt they weren't supposed to lose any hockey games. Keon’s goals should have I started them on the way down but they refused to panic. The : Leafs never did get a lead in that contest and that told a lot of the story.

Supposedly tired after that struggle and with the trip back to Detroit to add to the hardship, the Wings probably should have been sitting ducks for Chicago Sunday might but things didn't turn out that way. Again the Abelmen comment. this l time by a 3-1 score. '

Playoff Seems Sure

RIGHT now there‘s little doubt that Detroit has assured it- self of a playoff spot. They lead fourth place Rangers by 10 points and the cellar~dwelling Bruins by 13. It doesn’t appear as

Indeed Detroit could cling on to that top rung all season long. Leafs and Canadians are showing definite weaimesses and Chicago doesn’t appear to present any great problem to the present top runners.

Bower looks Bad

VETERAN Johnny Bower was anything but xmectaoular Saturday night.

The ageless wonder helped the Toronto squad Mendously these past few seasons but his 36 goals against in 11 games hardly stamp him as a Vazina trophy contender this seastm. Tenry Sawchuk has 13 scored on him in 10 games.

Johnny looked bad indeed Saturday night and don’t be a bit mused if he gets a rest at Imlach’s suggestion very, very

soon. It could be the end for Johnny.
