Once again Ws the Les Canadiens and Boston Bruins in the !!Honey series. The Beantowners have been bridesmaids to the Habitants for so many nears that many are beginning to wonder if they'll ever play the main role in the ceremnony. Glancing back over the clubs past perform- ances we find the Habs have racked up seven con- secutive cup wins. Most of you probably figure that seven times is about six too many for one club to be world champs. 'We agree with you 100 per cent but what can you do? Les Canadiens have undoubtedly become the New York Yankees of hockey. When the money is there. it's just a formality' e Habs ri As we `.lid last year, late re picking th to walk off with a five -game series. The :tlontrealers started off on the right foot with a 2-1 victory in the opener. "Toe" Blake's big payoff in this series will be his atomic power play which produced the win. Ding goal in the first game-. With Machell grimly squinting fi,oni the penalty box, the Canucls really applied the pressure and what happened? Boston didn't get the puck out of their end of the rink once after the initial faceoff and, as on so many previous Montreal power plays throughout the year, one could 'easily see it was just a matter of Minae before someone would score. The Bostonians put up a terrific show with their hard-hitting body contact game but this failed to slow up the league champs. We wonder just how long Schmidt`s players can withstand the heavy body treatment they are trying to pour into the Canucks. Maurice Richard, who started last year's series Off by busting through for four big goals had to settle for an assist in this '58 opener but tl'e away his line hounds the Boston net, he'll undoubtedly be heard from in the goal scoring department before the final chapter is written. We hope Milt Schmidt snakes us eat our words on our five -game prediction but we'11 bet Don Sim- mons starts to sweat every time he sees Geoffrion, Beliveau, Harvey, the "Rocket" and Dickie Moore line up in front of him on that power play! * * a� LEPRECHAUNS STILL IN HIGH GEAR Our congratulations to Bill "Polly" Smith, coach of Lucan Leprechauns. on winning the "D" series championship at the Young Canada Week hockey tournament this week, The club ran up a four game winning streak in their victory march. Harold "Bibby.. Iiibson, who tells us he is the man- ager of the club and all Smitty did was teach the boys how to play hockey, says they'll be back up in Goderich Saturday afternoon to challenge the "C" champs and then will play the same night against Toronto for the grand championship: How's that for confidence? Because we all can't be. winners, we'd like to pass along a pat on the back to the other district teams who made the journey northward and came out on the short end, It takes good sports to win title but it always takes a little more effort to walk away smiling after suffering defeat.
