8 THE osHAwa TIMES, Thursday, April 20, 1967 SPORTS BEAT >" i ' * By Eric Wesslby a. ?, Winner Times Sports Editor AS THE man said, "throw Bway the book when you get to the playoffs, Forget what happened during the season". Toronto Maple Leafs more than proved this Point as they Polished off Chicago Black Hawks in the semi-final round of their National Hockey League Stanley Cup scries. Leafs did it the hard way, winning twice on Chicago. ice, Something they couldn't ac- accomplish in eight. trips to the windy city during the regular season, BOSTON BRUIN coach Harry Sinden spelled it out Well early in the series when he said that playoff hockey is positional hockey. In playoffs, "the emphasis is on check- ing and Toronto, in my esti- mation," Sinden said, "plays the best. positional hockey, all season long. This could . be why they usually are strong in the playoffs. They don't have to adjust much from their regular season style." SINDEN ALSO said that lack of speed on the part of some of the Toronto defence- men, Allan Stanley and Mar- cel Pronovost, worked to the team's advantage, especially in playoff hockey. 'These guys are smart and know if they get caught up the ice or out of position that they can't get back," Sinden said. "So they don't get caught. You don't see them leading very many rushes or taking too many chances." And that's just. about the way it went, Toronto's. defence hanging back at the Chicago blucline and breaking up countless Black Hawk plays at the To- ronto line. NOW LEAFS go against the high flying Montreal Cana- diens. Don't bet the billfold that Canadiens sweep _ this series in four games, as they did last year against Toronto in the semi-finals. This is a far different Maple Leaf hock- ey club than a year ago. It's checking tighter and Terry Sawchuk is hot. And if Saw- chuk should cool out, Johnny Bower could come on as his relief and come up with his usual playoff hockey. BIGGEST DIFFERENCE between last year's Toronto club and this year's is the maturing of three players, Peter Stemkowski, Jim \Pap- pin and Brian Conacher. Stemkowski, over the last quarter of the schedule and through the playoffs, is cer- tainly the most improved player in the league. Pappin, after a brief stint in Roches- ter early in the-season, has been one of the Leafs' big shooters while Conacher has surprised most fans with his play. BUT CANADIENS are the defending champions, a proud club. Jean Beliveau, Henri Richard and. Ralph Back- strom, the club's_ strength down centre, all had a sub par year and they're out to erase that blot on their rec- ord. If Canadiens win the Stanley Cup, who'll remem- ber how this trio did during the regular season? It should be at. least a six-game series, and you can take your pick as far as a winner is con- cerned. ALTHOUGH OSHAWA'S junior hockey season ended a month ago, there's still con- siderable hockey interest, with the Generals still mak- ing news. It will seem kind of quiet around Civic Audi- torium next winter without Stan Waylett around, but I'd like to wish him every suc- cess on his new venture. The Minnesota club has quite an Oshawa tinge, with general manager Wren Blair, chief scout Ted O'Connor, Ontario scout Jerry Blair and trainer Waylett all from here. And Blair has his eye on several former Oshawa players as candidates for' his expanded club. He's just trying to fig- ure out some way to get Bos- ton to give up Bebby Orr. THERE'S A big game on tap tomorrow night at Ux- bridge when Belmont and Haliburton meet to decide an Ontario Minor Hockey As- sociation midget "D" cham- pion. This is the third. game of a best-of-three series and it's being played on neutral ice. Haliburton won the first game 5-2 but dropped the sec- ond 5-1. Game time is 8:30 p.m. and OMHA vice-presi- dent Gordon Hawes of Whitby would like to see the area fans throw their support be- hind the teams. HOW CAN YOU figure it department: The Albert "Red" Tilson Memorial Tro- phy is awarded to the most valuable and _ gentlemanly player in the Ontario Hockey Association Junior '"A" series. I agree with the selec- tion of Peterberough's Mickey Redmond as the 1966-67 win- ner, but Derek Sanderson as runner up? He was certainly the most valuable but. he couldn't qualify on the sec- ond count, unless the voting was done for his conduct in games against Oshawa.
