[By The Clmailian Press) This is the second-last. weekend oi regular schedule play in the Ivlltiollnl ilockcy League, and the big qucsiioii o1 just who is going to incct iviio iii tile piilyuitfs still leinauis unanswered. It ' t. be eieuixr when the weekend is over. The lnost. likely order oi finish still seems to be CBXlBCliEhS, Delt- troit Chicago and Toronto in that order, but the Leafs are still rnak- l lng a mighty fight o1 it for tnlrd etxit. Just possibly they can turn tne trick, although the odds an: a- gilliisl. 1.116111. At the same time . the Black ilulvks stlli have a liiatliematicai but not much more-chance or oust- ing tile ed Wings from second spot '1'i1€'.Y'Ve got live games to go. tile same as tnc Wings, and are thtee games out. of the place-posit- ion. And Just to ruund out the pos- sioility-picturc. Boston Bruins still have o. mathematical chance of knocking Toronto or Chicago out oi the final play-oi! spot. With all those possibilities, the weekend becomes a higlhiy import- ant one for everybody except Can- adiens, who can't be headed, and Rangers, who can't be anything else but cellar-dwellers. And even Canadiens will have the pressure on them because they are aiming at a full season without a defeat on home ice. Czlnauiens entertain the Red Wings in Montreal tonight, and lvLi be after their 23rd game with- out a loss at Montreal Forum this season. They are assured of a sell- out crowd. because standing-room only-tickets went on sale y afternoon, a few hours after the seat tickets. The only other game tonight brings Rangers against the Leafs in Toronto. The Leads are high favorites to win. of course. but it might not do them much good be- lcause they play in Detroit the fol- lowing night and after those two games they'll have only a sinslfl contest left. Souris Wins From Montague The junior Tiger, cf Soul-is proved tlieir claim to the title of King's County champions at, Suuri; on Wednesday evening March 8th when they defeated Montague Primroses by the decisive score of 10-2 Judged by many to he tile fastest and best game seen on Souris ice this winter, the two team; after a cautious first period turned on the heat in the last two swrizas and played wide open hockey to the de- light of the large crowd which saw the game.
