THECatlitd SPORTS COLUMN

A strange tale of coincidence that
stretched across a 3 -year span, and involved
two peelers who had successively occupied
the nets of a major league hockey team, was
written daring the Stanley Chip series last
April,
Back in 1950, in the midst of a semifinal
Cup series, between Canadiens and New York
Rangers, the Canadiens' goaler Bill Durnan, seven times win-
ner of the Vezina trophy, "had the courage and sporting spirit
to tell coach Dick Irvin; Dick, I'tn not doing theteam any
good, My reflexes have slowed down, ,I m through."
And so Durnan stepped nut of the picture and ended a
career, to be succeeded by little Gerry McNeil, But Rangers
were roaring ahead, the wizardy of McNeil, then a rookie
youngster, halted them only temporarily, and Rangers went
on to win the round, and give Detroit Red Wings a grim battle
for hockey's most coveted prize. .
on the Thursday night of April 2, last, Canadiens were de+
feated by Chicago Black hawks, in a Stanley Cup semi-final
game. That game gave hawks a 3-2 edgee in the best of seven
series. One more victory, and the Chicago team was into the
finals, Canadiens were out. And the next game was in Chicago,
before a fanatic, vietory-mad Saturday night crewed scenting a
Stanley Cup triumph for the first time be years,
On the Saturday morning, the long arm of Coincidence
stretched across the years. For this time it was little Geriy
McNeil, the successor to Durnan, who waited on coach Dick
Irvin, and declared: "Dick, I'm not doing the team any good.
My nerves are shaky. My reflexes are shot. Put Jacques
Plante into the net. He'll win a game for us."
Irvin gave the matter lengthy studee McNeil continued to
urge the change. It was a desperate gamble, but Irvin decided
to take it. He benched not only McNeil, but three other reg-
ulars, tossed in four rookies, including Plante, a hawk -faced,
sharp-eyed French Canadian youngster who had played a few
games for Canadiens during the season. Canadiens rallied in
spirited fashion, won by 3-0, and first to greet Plante and
throw his arms around the rookie goaler was McNeil himself,
who had raced alinoat the complete circuit of the rink to be
first to congratulate his replacement.
Plante played three more games after that. Chicago was
eliminated with the dead -pan Habitant in the Canadien nets.
Then, in the second game of the Cup finals agaixiet Beaton
Bruins Plante faltered, and Coincidence, if you like to call it
that, entered again. "You better put Gerry back in there"
Plante told coach Irvin. So McNeil was switched back, scored
two shut -outs in the next three games, and Canadiens marched
off with the Cup.
