By STEVE JONESCU Sports Editor ADD INTEREST The Stanley Cup Playoff series took on new look and added interest Sunday asbothunderd0g clubs won games And in the TorontoNew York series sus icionI had about the Leafs all year stepped right to fore Johnny Bower faltered between the pipes Shakey John whom felt for long time was overrated didnt look like top banana or even close to it pat myself on the back too for the performance of Johnny Wilson of the Rangers Wilson has always been top player but never received top recognit ion few weeks ago wrote that his value to the Rangers this year was topped by maybe Just one or two no more To some people it may have been surprise to see John score goals Reason is that he plays on Rangers checking line the one that has made the Frank Mahov IichRed KellyRon StewartEddie Shack trio look ordinary The Chicago win over Montreal causes more cork cern Its generally agreed that the Hawks are good enough to win it all although most persons bet against them Its generally conceded that Leafs will beat Rangers despite the Sunday upset Here must admit that it cost me small sum on the RangerLeaf game CUP NOTES Notice how Al Arbour who lost the puck to Wilson on the Ranger players second goal was quickly re legatedto position on the bench He was to blame for but one goal Ive got feeling Don Simmons will be in the nets tonight The excuse could well he that Bowers hand is too sore Leafs will win their game and Montreal will bounce back with victory Can the Leafs and their writers still sing the praises of Eddie Shack Shacks absence from the playoff lineup on regular basis should prove that the bally hoo was strictly that and they really dont believe hes such hotshot JUST NOTES First game of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association bantam
