~ Detroit's W ings Ignore In Free- Wheeling Cup By AL McNEIL MONTREAL (CP) -- yeal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings haven't met as Stanley Cup finalists for a decade, but 4f- Sunday's opening-game-of-the best-of-seven series is any indi- cation, ten years has been too long. The 15,070 fans on hand for Detroit's 3-2 win over the Cana- dians applauded both sides dur- ing the free-wheeiing, action- packed performance. i . The Montrealers were making their debut in color throughout the United States on a telecast by the National Broadcasting 0. The Wings appeared on color TV in two other playoff games, defeating Chicago Black Hawks 7-0 and 5-3 as they took the semi-final four games to two, Detroit goalie Roger Crozier blocked, kicked and caught 33 of the 35 shots fired at him by the swarming Canadiens, this geason's National Hockey League champions. BLAKE BLAMES CROZIER Crozier's play was the differ- ence, according to Canadiens coach Toe Blake. Sid Abel, Detroit's general manager - coach, said Crozier "was fantastic and the whole team was sensational." "Paul Henderson, the tricky Detroit left winger with the | period, but rebounded to outfire \Canadiens 16-14 in the third. Smith opened the scoring for Detroit at 13:25 of the first period, He skated in front of Worsley as Wings' Andy Bath- gate let go a backhander from the corner. Smith managed to tip the shot as the Montreal goaltender had moved to block Bathgate and the Wings led 1-0, Until then the Montrealers dominated play and only Cro- zier's fine performance kept them scoreless, He made fine stops on Backstrom, right- winger Claude Larose, Claude Provost and defenceman Ted | Harris, Harris picked up a minor pen- alty at 9:10 of the period for interference and with his club shorthandel, J. C, Tremblay had a clear breakaway on Crozier, who refused to be deked out of position and made the stop.
