The Troublesome Bruins-

lT'StoobadfoikawilinoteeethcseBostooBminsinthe Stanleycupplaydowm.

The wa these Bemtowners are performing lately. they’d cause plant: of trouble for the squad unlucky enough to draw them in the semi-final round

However, we bet that Toronto Maple Leafs are glad the Bruins have lost their last mathematical chance of making e grade. The way those Bruins have mauled the Leafs this season is really something. The but twice they’ve been in Maple Leaf Gardens they’ve escaped with 5-2 and 4-2 verdicts. These setbacks have ruined about all chance the Toronto squad had of making it to the top and there is real doubt about them being able to beat Montreal Canadiens for the runnerup spot. Leafs were playing Bruins in a playoff. the chances of Boston making the final round would be extremely good. Milt Schmidt’s boys appear to halve the number of the imlachmen men and they are having the time of their lives ruining 'Dor- onto's chances. Of course, the Bruins are no pushover for any- d Hawks may find this out before the regular schedude ends.

Saturday night the Bruins richly deserved their victory. Even the most loyal Toronto fan couldn’t deny this. They play- ed better hockey than did the Maple Leafs and they got great goaltending from Ed Johnston. The very next night they wor- ricd the league leading Black Hawks right in Chicago before losing a 4-3 verdict.

Sure. Bruins would like to make the playoffs but they are having some great satisfaction in the way they are gomg at present. The return of Milt Sch-mist has surely helped the club and they give all indications of being a happy outfit.

Already Schmidt and his Bruins are looking forward, to next season and they are predicting that. this time 1964 they 11 be in there battling for one of those first four playoff spots.

And we think they'll land one. too.

The Nova Scolici League

THE teams in the Nova Scotia Senior Hockey League are.. engaged in bitter semi-finals. I

Halifax Tartans are deadlocked with Windsor Maple Leafs at 2-2 and New Glasgow Rangers and Momton Hawks are tied in an identical knot.

The teams renew their feuds tonight at Halifax and Mario ton and the Tar-tans and Hawks will be favorites to grab these all-important fifth games in the best-of-seven set-s.

owever, Windsor has looked mighty good in winning the last two games. They scored 14 goals in grabbing the last two. 7-3 and 7-4. One of these triumphs was at Halifax and that one will give the Leafs extraconfidence for tonight's skirmish. '

The Rangers-Hawks fight has been a case of the teams wm- ning home games. New Glasgow must win one in Moncton to.. advance against the survivor of the Halifax-Windsor clash. The Hawks can lose all their games in New Glasgow and still make the finals of the Nova Scotia Senior Hockey League.

Rangers appeared to have won handily at home but grab- bing that one big game in Moncton Stadium has been tough. They nearly did it in the opening game when they had a 3-2 edge with less than three minutes of play remaining. However, Hawks came on to score a pair and grab that opener 4-3.

Allen Cup Playoffs

THE fact that Halifax Tartans beat Trail Smoke Eaters re- cently in Halifax seems to indicate that the calibre of Allen Cup hockey in these parts is pretty fair. The first round for the Maritime winners will find them doing the entertaining. begin- ning the best-of-five set Tuesday March 19. Before that date the NSSHL winner will battle the Cape Breton champion in order to decide who rules as champion in these seaside provinces.

There’s a god chance that the Maritime winner will advance to the second round and get a crack at the Quebec champion.

But before these things come about there is a. lot of un- settled business to be dealt with. Six teams are still very much alive. Sydney ‘

Millionaires and Gace Bay Miners are the Cape Bretouners still fighting it out. . Bitter battles are yet to come.
