And, pain- fully, Goldham had been in- volved in a nine-player trans- action with Detroit Red Wings who proceeded to win five straight NHL champiunships. Even more painfuliy, Bentley helped the Leafs to the Stanley Cup three times in four years. The elder Smythe had done it beiore. In 1939 he gave New York Americans Harvey Jack- son, Buzz Boll, Doc Romnes Murray Armstrong and Jimmy Schriner, their top scorer. The Americans folded quietly three years later. Schriaer stuck around long enough to play for mileage from Dick Duff and Bob Nevin, the two men he took from the Leaf lineup, and the three rookies, Arnie Brown, Billy Collins and Rod Seiling, whom he picked up in the Bath- gate-McKenney deal. There are a couple of useful citizens wearing Toronto uni- forms whom Patrick once had on his payroll. Muzz didn't send them there--he just let them go elsewhere because he didn't fig- ure they'd help his club.

Although the Leafs don't ur- gently need a goaltender, the fact that durable Charlie would be removed from the Montreal It marked the third straight game that the economy-size net- minder has blanked the Leafs and the fourth time in five games. The Leafs haven't beat him since Jan, 29--or 217 min- utes and 55 seconds ago, to be exact. He couldn't have made it, however, without the help of the Leafs, who missed open nets, shot wide and bounced pucks off the goalposts three times to keep the scoring draught intact.
