RICK 1v av rrpmwvvr no 51 CORNER Toronto Maple leafs under fire all season for their thirdpiace shewln in the National Hockey lseagu get chance to eglant steps in the league this week Wednesday they host Montreal Canadiens Saturday theyll be at home to Chicago and Sunday tirey meet the Black Hawks again in Chicago Montreal and Chicago are tied for first place with 60 points each Toronto follows with 64 but have game in hand on Canadians and the Hawks have play ed two more games than Leafs NEW YORK and Detroit are in redhot battle for the fourth more titan playoff spot Ranger have 44 points one ed Wings but the Wings have slight edge as theyve layed one less game Boston with 33 points is in cellar naturally Rangers have good chance to increase their stand ing They meet the lastplace Bruins twice then clash head on with Detroit Sunday For the Red Wings they must face Chicago twice before meeting Rangers Montreals two other games this week will pit them against New York Saturday and Boston Sunday Its busy week for all six clubs and by thetime Monday morning rolls around there could be some interesting changes CANT UNDERSTAND why everyone expects so much of Toronto his is Leafs Two years ago they finished in second ace and had an easy semifinal round while Montreal and Chicago battered each other around in the other semifinal Leafs met the remains of that MontrealChicago battle Last year they finished in first place but they ccr talnly Chicago went into to didnt walk away with the league all season lspin in the stretch drive and Leafs iinished with 82 points Chicago 81 and Men treal 70 Certainly this doesnt indicate supremacy by any wide margin Sure the Leafs have two straight Stanley Cups under their belts But theres always the old argu ment that the best team is the one that finishes on top after 70 games To rate team on the basis of two playoff series against full schedule is pretty fair talking point BELIEVE THEYRE doing as well as could be ex pected They could finish first and wouldnt surprise anyone So could Montreal and Chicago and the sur prises would be just as light To mention Montreal firstplace finish couple of months ago would prolr ably get you oneway ticket to the funny farm it certainly isnt joking matter now though No team is going to roll over and play dead for team that won Stanley Cup No Stanley Cup team can afford to relax and live on reputation Its long hard grind in the National Hockey League and it takes talent and effort to finish ontop As has been the case all season it looks like thereli be two great battles as the teams head into the final stages of the schedule for the first three places among Montreal Chicago and Toronto and for the fourth spot between Neerorlr and Detroit Boston Well

yanking the goalie for an ex tra forward to get you that ty ing goal Dont do it Its probably going to cost you another goal There is strong suspicion that virtually all members of the hockey coaching

situation where team Is goal down with scant seconds to playhas arisen 33 times STRATEGY FAVORED Ron Andrews the NHLs rookie stntistician says the stratngern isnnrmally applied in about so per cent ol these situations Only once has it worked That was Dec in Chicago when Bobby Hull bent Bostons Eddie Johnston with Zoiooter 31 seconds before the game ended to give the Black Hawks 2d tie with the Bruins niter Glenn Hall was removed for an additional Chicago attacker But eight other times pulling out the goalie has wound up slrnply prelude to the club in front dumping the puck into that wideopen net Hall ibronios Dan Simmons and New Yorks Jacques Plants have all watched in an guish from the bench while the opposition collected gilt goals twice against their clubs Johnston and
