Ehman Forces Overtime, Then Scores 'The Big One' TORONTO (CP) -- A few months ago Toronto Maple Leafs made an apparent nothing-for- nothing hockey player deal. The principals were Gerry Eh. man, a right winger with sensa- tional minor-league record but poor recommendations from two big-time teams, and Willie Mar- shall, a centre with an equally spectacular record in the minors but a bust in the National League. Ebhman had been rejected hy Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings. Marshall was ditched by Leafs, going to Hershey Bears of the American League for Ehman and a player yet to be named. ANSWERS CRITICS Any reckless obrervations that Ehman might not be able to stick around with the National Leaguers, have been duly an- swered, espe~ially Saturday night when the 175 . pound forward scored two stasgering goals that gave Leafs a 3-2 overtime viclory over Bruins in the third game of their best-of-seven Stanley Cup semi-final, He fired the tying goal in the dying minntes of the third period and picked up the winner at 5:02 of -udden-death overtime in one of Leafs' most dramatic finishes of the 1958-59 campaign. Ehman's windup - goal was a Doug Mohns, who suifered torn ligaments in his right knee in the second period when he tried to check Leaf left winger Dick Duff. 1t is not known whether he'll be ready for Thursday. Both teams scheduled light workouts today. Bruins moved in front 1.0 at 2:43 of the first period, Stasiuk batting the puck into the cage after.

'PUNCH' RIGHT It wasn't claptrap. In the final 37 games of the regular schedule Ehman scored 12 goals, He has supplemented that fine effort with three goals in three playoff games--his first participation, in- cidentally, in Stanley Cup action.

"I knew I didn't have time for a second chance when I saw some space on Lumley's right so I had to make that shot count." "That was the big game for us," Imlach said, more confident than ever that Leafs can stage a series-winning comeback similar to the drive that carried them to a playoff berth, and fell on his back. Pulford got his goal at 16:21, He was sent in the clear behind Bruin rearguard Fernie Flaman by right winger Ron Stewart and beat Lumley with a low shot, Stasiuk sent Bruins ahead again at 17:34 of the second pe- riod. He grabbed his own re- bound in front of the Leaf net and scooped the puck over Tor- onto defenceman Tim Horton and Allan Stanley and Bower, all down on the ice.
