Thats the percentages of games that Mon- play 80% hockey to take the cup. Broken dow: ans the Habs must take four out of the five remaining\ga in the series and that is a large chore for any team. O con- solation though, Montreal has not lost four games in a row all season. Nevertheless the way that things are going now the Habs are going to end up on the short end of the final count and they are going to have to come up with a Herculan effort this evening to get back inte the series. The Wings have skated with ‘the Flying Frenchmen throughout the series so far and there is no indication that they are about to stop. This checking game of the Wings had disrupted the Habs attack that still has not completely recovered from that cost- ly ten day layoff. Abel is going with his youngsters throughout the game and so far the moves have been’ paying off. Nevertheless it has taken stependous work by Roger Crozier in the Detroit cage to keep the Habs at bay. f Several reasons prompt me to say that Montreal is going to take at least one and perhaps two games out-of Detroit. (This is not prejudice, it’s just sound logic.) First —;—and-foremost,-Montreal_is_ going to _be.away from the pres-_ sure of its home town fans and perhaps this will give them a boost of sorts.” Then “Montreal can’t play too—much—more badly and they are bound to break their slump soon. Detroit has been getting some breaks around the net and quoting the TV announcer, they got two of the wierdest goals ever seen in playoff hockey Tuesday evening. Montreal is due for some luck soon. Roger Crozier, star that he is, is bound to let down a bit soon. And finally the Wings are going to be a bit- overconfident holding a_two game lead and- playing—be- fore their own home fans. cee DETROIT BETTER (SO FAR) + ---treal.-Canadiens..tjust..now...capture on Detroit ice to give # them a fighting chance at the Stanley Cub and they must . i it | inn -to defeat match saki’in Sapporo the last two ings lea acne tate the s be aay all the for the third straight day in his _...---|Ken..McMullen’s..two-run..double in. the third inning gave Wash- ington Senators a 2-0 victory an excellent job of staging the is time younger men should be sent Canada... . given an opportunity to ‘repre-)~ the St. Louis clab in the nego- has’ been the coach of the tinations, “Charles” Ryati, who Florida in mid.June where he will” hort for—the~ Cardinal re-"~ in the Florida présentative ionships.
