Three Goals

In Final

Period Paves Way For

' Montreal ’s 6-3 Victory

(By Pete Lernoyne)

~MONTREAL, April 9-—(CP)—Skating at the

torrid

pace they set all winter, Montreal Canadiens put on a third period three-goal splurge against Boston Bruins tonight to pull out a 6-3 victory and capture the Stanley Cup, em- blematic of world hockey supremacy, four games to one in

the best-of-seven series.

Both teams staged furious hockey in the

first two

periods but in the last frame the Boston defence broke down under the pressure, paving the way for Canadians’

scoring spree.

After taking the National Hockey League champion- ship during three consecutive seasons, the smooth-work- ing Canadians captured their second Stanley Cup in the same number of years. They waltzed through the semi- final series in easy fashion to beat Chicago Black Hawks

in four straight games and then took ‘ofolil’ games from

Montreal's Bill Durnan and Boston's Frankie Brirnsek. who staged a terrific goal tending duel throughout the entire series. ug- ain turned in outstanding exhibi- tions of puck stopping tonight. Brimsek deserved no part ol the Boston defeat which was maln due to a weak defence that let him time and time again without

protection.

Canadiens came from behind twice before taking the lead. They emerged from the initial

period on top of a 3-2 count but Bruins tied u-p the count in a mid- session which featured spectacu- lar goal bending at both ends of the ice. Canadiens wen-t wild in the last period to score the three goals that provided the margin of victory.

Individual Stars

Aside from the goalies, the in- dividual stars of the game were Elmer Lach. who paced the Mont- real victory with a goal and two assists. Kenny Reardon who play- ed steady hockey at the Montreal blue line all evening long and

notched one and played his the game, terrific

pace.

Bill Cowley broke the scorinfl ice after 5:412 minutes of play when‘ he fired a low backhander behind Durnan to take advantage of a. penalty to Montreal's Butch Bouchard.

Bobby Filion evened up the count when he sanlk a goalmouth pass from fish Hiller. Bruins came surging back and Bobby Bauer lifted them into a 2-1 lead the stick of Porky Dumart and fired the "puck into the unprotect- ed cnrner of the net. Canadians nullified that tally again with Lach caging a rebound off the stick of Frankie Eddolls.

Canadiens lumped into their their fin-t lead shortly before the end of the period when Kenny Mosdell deviated in-to the net a long shot by Glen Harmon.

a rebound of Elmer Lach following scramble in the vicinity of the Boston nets.

The goal seemed to break the spirit of Bruins who played half-hearted hockey after that.

Incidentally. it was Blake. vet- eran captain of 11 seasons with Canadlens who won the cup for Canucks two years ago with the overtime goal that beat Chicago Black Hawks.

Canadlens were skating rings around Boston in the last part of the frame and Murrph Chamber- lain and Dutch Killer had little trouble in beating Brimsek and wind up the scoring parade.

Monarchs At Full Strength For Oup Finals

(By Mel Sufi-in)

WINNLPm. April 9 — (OP)- Western Canada's junior hockey champions. Winnipeg Monarchs, headed for Tomato tonight brim- ming with quiet confdionce and determined to give Toronto St. Mlchaels a battle royal for the Memorial Cup. the emblem junior hockey supremacy.

At full strength for the best- of-seven series which opens in Maple Leaf Gardens Saturday night, the 15 hockey hopefuls were in top condition and at what coach Walter Morison considered to be their “peak form."

In the attacking division the wide Maple Leaf Gardens’ ice surface is expected to be handy to such free-skating forwards as Don- McRae, Harry Taylor and George Robertson.

Morison admitted he was a little unsure of how the boys would be on a roomy ice surface until they played m Edmonton. but he knows now that the powerhouse line of McRae, Taylor and Gord o- way should be all the more potent for it in Toronto.

He expects the series to go close to seven games while confident that he has a squad that is calo- able of winning the prized mug.

The teams met in two games earlier this season in exhibition with Winnipeg winning the first 3-2 and St. Mikes taking the sec- 0nd 4-3. 'I'here was little to choose from in that outing.

The team will practise Thurs- day and Friday and will prob bly ice a squad comprising Jack 1-b- soii. goal; Laurie May. Tom Roc- key, Bill Tindall, defence; Mc- Rae. Taylor, Fashoway. Al Buch- anan, Clint Albright Hy Beatty, two forward lines in addition to Robertson Eddiie NLaa-chnnt and Harry Scott.
