From Cup Scene By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Sports Editor These Stanley Cup playoffs jnrent the same at all Jacques Plants could throw away his mask Johnny Bower might even break down and disclose his age Notional Hockey League President Clar once Campbell could declare open season on referees and for get his law training and issue statement of not more than 50 words Conn Smythe could even set up bar in the Toronto Maple Leafs dressing room Chicago fans probably will throw live hamster or two on the ice and pelt betweenperiod television interviewers on the ice with cold beer Foster Hewitt ymight even all out of his gon dola high up in Maple Lea Gardcns DNE THING MISSING And coaches Doug Harvey IIlneh Irnlncb Toe Blake and Rudy Pilous might call meet ing and issue communique to the effect that Al The players can open the gates themselves the coaches wont under any cir jcinnstances tell sports writers that their guys put their pants onvone leg at time and frefereea and linemen are only human and that goal judges arent blind All of this might be news worthy but can anyone honestly say they wont miss the octopus thrower As any respectable hockey fan hiows he has been tradition yith Detroit Red Wings for years Hes been around almost as long as Jolly Jack Adams land the Detroit front office has shown lack of imagination by deciding to ignore his existence In the clubs year book lfockoy fans no longer refer IoDetroit as the Motor City They know it as the home base ice at Detroit Olympia during the regular season He reserves this ritual for the playoffs and orsrtly when excitement is great When the thing hits the ice with great splat everything seems to settle down Then conversations spring up as fans talk to their neighbors about the octopus thrower Red Wing players except the rookies automatically skate to the bench while players of the opposing team and the sweepers poke around it waiting for the thing either to jump or explode Theres no other fan like him In Montreal they throw rub bers programs and so on in Toronto lets just say theyre so unimaginative lot in chi oago they throw peanuts rub hers programs coins hear and firecrackers and on occasion live rabbits Black Hawk fans throw things just for the heck of it at any time The octopus thrower always seems to let it go at the right moment Well miss him Sweeney Closer To Point Crown By
