Canadiens Report Two Out With Injuries

MONTREAL, April 9 - (CP)-. That victory smile of Canadiens' coach Dick Irvin sagged percep- iiably today into a grim line - almost a quiver.

"Doug Harvey and Boom Boom Geoffrion are hurt; twisted knees." moaned the coach.

The blow took all the eleation out of Irvin. whose charges Sat- urday finished polishin.-g off the favored Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup semi-final.

And now, with the final against Toronto Maple Leafs coming up. Irvin was doleful.

Harvey was injured in the Sat- urday game against Detroit but played it oilt. Then the knee be- came worse. In a practice work- out today Geoffrlon. the colorful 19-year-old rookie. pulled up with

ronto.

"We don't know yet." said Ir- vin. "We'll just have to wait and see how the injuries come along."

Los of either player would be a serious blow to Canadlens. Harvey. was one of the outstand- ing defen-cemen of the series against Detroit and Geolfrion. with his boom-boom shot, has been a consistent scoring threat on the right-wing side of Men- treal's third line.

Did Irvin care to make forecast about the series? ."No not making any just now," he said quickly.

Then. reflecting on his woes and

any

assuagin-g them with 9. bit of irony. he went on:-- We'll try to win a game. Our

club considers it an honor that

the same ailment. The team leaves tomorrow night; for the Wednesday opener in '1'!-I

we are good enough to be playing against the great Maple Leafs for the cup."

THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN

' APRIL 10. 1951

"Cream puffs at 90 paces" seems to be the gist of an ultimatum handed down by the top brass of M. A. H. A.. and Sydney hockey ol- ficlals that greeted the Charlotte- town Islandcrs as they rolled into Sydney by bus here on the eve of their sixth game of their best of seven semi-final series against Syd- ney Millionaires for the Maritime Major Hockey crown.

S O S

A bad 8-1 heating for the Money-

men back in the capital of the Gar-

den Province. plus a number of unfavorable reports and complaints

from certain elements of Sydney

fandom over the conduct of the

Islanders here during the second

game of the series a week ago Sat-

urday, seems to have brought about a "hands off" policy put forth by the generals of a. surrounded and crumbling fort of confidence in the- home team being able to retain their Maritime title.

0 O 0

According to reports issuing from the Cape Breton capital, added pol- icing of the local Forum, rigid in- structions to officials that no acts of rowdyiam, rough tactics of play- ers against fans, etc., etc., will be tolerated and drastic measures will be used against those committing such felony. The reports also say. but as a secondary consideration. that those same players will be pro- tected against any aggressive ac- tion on the part of the fans. Toam officials and players will be called to centre ice for instructions like a couple of prize fighters.

I O 0

According to these same reports. the Sydney players have been given strict instructions that they are not to retaliate no matter what the provocation by the opposition. One could assume from that, should one of them be roughed up a bit. in- stead of handing it back in good old hockey form, they will go to a neutral corner and start hollering for the referees and protection, plus penalties.

I S 0

What rule book these officials have used as their guide in formul- ating the text of their ultinlatunl is not known, but it certainly wasn't on hockey. Could have been basket- ball, but even that can be rough at times so probably badminton will fill the bill. In any event it is to be a. "If you hit me I'll take my stick and puck and go home" policy whe- ther the players themselves like the idea or not.

0 O 0

Despite it all, however. Leo Lain- oureux and his Islanders are all ready and willing for the big game here tonight (Monday) even though a 24-hour bus trip from Island to Island put a few kinks and crimps in various sections of their anat- omy. It was a. long tiresome trip for the boys and accompanying club officials and fans, but their morale and spirit was at a. high peak throughout the entire trip. Much of that feeling can be attributed to the smooth way in which driver Dave Clark handled the big S. M.T. battle wagon over every type of ter- rain. Wheellng the big vehicle through nine miles of axle deep mud between Kenslrlgton and Trav- eller's Rest. to get through it was a masterpiece of driving in itself, and although there were times when one end was hanging over the loft four foot ditch of mire and the other hanging over the right ditch. there was just nothing to it the way the bus driver-pilot handled the controls.

I I C

Departing from Charlottetown at approximately three o'clock in the afternoon. it was a through run un- til reaching New Glasgow at about 12.30 A. M. where the boys bedded down for I night's rest at the Nor- folk Hotcl, tlking off again about ten o'clock Monday morning for the balance of the trip, arriving at Sydney at three in the afternoon. all halo and hearty although some- what dishevcllcd in general ap- pearance. The Islanders incidentally were paid I very high compliment by the New Glasgow hotel manage- ment on their departure from that point. "They were the quietest and most orderly bunch of boys we have ever had the pleasure of putting up over night". was the parting remark by the management.

TORONTO. April 9 - (CF) - Toronto Maple Leafs got an "un- derdog" rating today from mama. ger Conn Smythe for the first all- Capadian Stanley Cup hockey final since I947.

"And we do pretty well in that role," said Smythe whose team ar- rived in St. Calllarines, Ont., from Boston to prepare for the opener here Wednesday in their best-of- seven set with Montreal Canadiens. surprise conquerors of Detroit Red Wings. National Hockey League champions. in the first round.

The Canndiens. who last won the trophy in 194-5, mapped up the pow- erful Red Wings in six games. with a 4-2 showing. The Leafs, second- place finishers in the league sched- ule, took six games to eliminate the Bruins, winning four. losing one and tying one.

They produced modern hockey's most spectacular playoff goalkeep- lng record - veteran Turk .131-ado, allowing only five goals in six games. A sixth against Toronto was tallied against rookie Al Rollins. forced out of the series with an injury in the opener.

Smythe recalled his prediction before the N. I-l.L. schedule opened last fall that the Canadlens were the team to beat and a more recent declaratiol. that they'd be the sur- prise package of the Stanley Clip playoffs.

He added: "Now that they've beaten Detroit I know that they'll be in there against us and that coach Dick Irvin will have them flying. All I hope is that it's a good series-and that the better team will win."

Left wing Harry Watson. who sat out the Boston series with a should- er separation. is ready for the meet- ing with the Montrealers.

And Rollins. who received a knee injury when he collided with Bos- ton's Pete I-Ioreck. is starting to practise, But Smythe wasn't certain whether Rollins would get into ac- tion.

"I don't remember anything like it." said Smythe. speaking of Broda. "He's the greatest playoff goalie of them all. I don't see how those all-star selectors reach down and pick out someone else almost every season. Then Broda comes along in the playoffs and plays Santa Claus-in reverse."

SYDNEY. N. 5.. April 9 - (Guardlnn Staff Special)-Sydney Millionaires, putting on their best display of hockey to date in their Maritime major finals series. clip- ped Leo Lamourculrs P. l. Island- ers for a 3-1 verdict to take I ncven to five point lead in the best of seven finals.

The seventh game of the series will be played here tomorrow night and will either see the ser- ies forced into a possible eighth game or the Moneymcn. once again coming through as the Mar- itime champions for the fourth year.

Although outplayed for two per- iods, the Islanders made a strong stand in the closing session. but they didn't stage the performance that they proved themselves cap- ablc of in the two previous games played at Charlottetown on Wed- nesday and Friday. of last week. A long 24-hour bus trip that was tir- ing and didn't get the boys to Sydney until four and onc-half hours before game time. and the fact that two Islanders players were served with summons to up- penr In civil court tomorrow to face charges laid by Sydney fans. didn't by any means help the situation for the Island team's morale and fighting spirit. 'Both Wes "Buoko" Trainor and Johnny Horeck were served the summons shortly after their arrival as the result of a game here a week ago Saturday.
