campbell has produced some contrasting reports from sportswifrs in toronto ottawa and montreal jack kinsella of the ottawa citizen claims campbells decision was one of sheer stupidity milt bunnell of the toronto star says that the rockets suspension will be a lesson to all cord walker of the globe and mail states the deciion by campbell was the easiest he has had to make ir years he feels that the league presi dents only other alternative was to pack up his belongings and turn over his chair to the office boy andy obrien of the montreal star is of the opinion that the blow struck by bostons hal laycoe was savage he feels that only richards championship spirit prevented him from flopping to the ice and then laughing up his sleeve as a penalty was handed out to iaycoe bert souliere of monti eal says that campbells decision was unjust and atrocious our own feeling on the subject was that richard should he banned for the remainder of the season including the playoffs it was our hops however that he might capture the individual scoring crown despite the twogame layoff but it wasnt to be as far as criticism from other coaches managers etc in the nhl it is a known fact that these same men would give their bottom dollar to have a player of richards calibre of their roster heres hoping richard comes back next year and wins the scoring championship the lady byng trophy and leads
