The Montreal Canadiens will be In
the Stanley Cup playoffs if they de-
feat the Maple Leafs tomorrow night
in Toronto. This opinion was ex-
pressed by Montreal's coach, Dick
Irwin before the start of last nights
game with the New York Rangers in
Madison Square Garden.
Irwin also included victory over
the Rangers in his pre-game state
ment and his boys" obliged with
To pasting of the hapless Blueshirts.
Montreal, by winning, jumped to
within 2 points of the Chicago Black
hawks and the Leafs, who are dead
locked for third place.
Montreal has five games remain
Ing while the Leafs and Hawks have
six. Both Chicago and Toronto meet
the league-leading Detroit Red
Wings three times each. Montreal
plays three of its games on the road
while the Leafs and Hawks play four.
Another reason for Twins OPP
timisn is the fact that Chicago
sports the worst road record in the
circuit. The Hawks have won only
three of their 81 away-from- home
trays so far this campaign.
