CANADIENS CLAIM STANLEY CUP
CHICAGO (AW - Veteran-Henri
Richard, whose emotional out-
burst had rocked Montreal last
weekend, fired a pair of goals
last night and led the proud
Canadiens to their 15th modern
Stanley Cup championship with
a 3-2 victory over the Chicago
Black Hawks.
Richard, who had exploded in
anger at Coach Al MacNeil after
the Canadiens lost the fifth
game of this National Hockey
League series, turned it around
for Montreal when the B l a c k
Hawks, divisional champions in
each of the past two seasons,
seemed on the verge of taking
their first Stanley Cup in a de-
cade.
Chicago had charged in front
2-0 in the decisive seventh game
but the Canadiens kept coming
and within four minutes late in
the second period they tied the
game.
Then rookie goalie Ken Dry-
den, the ex-Cornell All-Ameri-
can, turned in a spectacular ef-
fort, protecting the lead from
the desperate Hawks' attack af-
ter Richard's second goal ha d
put-Montreal in front early in
the third period.
Jacques Lemaire started Mont-
real's comeback with less than ,
six minutes left in the second
period when he whipped a 65-
foot slap shot past Chicago
goalie Tony Esposito. The game
Hawks' goalie never moved on
the shot and appeared screened
on the play.
Lemaire's goal seemed to give
the Canadiens a lift and just
over four minutes later they
tied the game on Richard's
score.
Tlie t'eams were each skating
one man short when Lemaire
fought off a check in the corner
and centered the puck to Rich-
ard, who was gliding in front of
the Chicago net. One flick of the
veteran center's wrists and the
puck was past Esposito, tying it
at 2-2.
That sent it down to the final
20 minutes and the Canadiens
wasted little time.
Richard, back at center after
Coach MacNeil had made anoth-
er line shift, charged into the
Hawks' zone and converted per-
fect passes from Rejean Houle
and Guy Lapointe for the deci-
sive goal.
Now is was up to Dryden as
the Hawks poured rush after
rush at the young goalie, who
had played only six games be-
fore the playoffs but performed
in every one of the Canadiens'
20 Cup contests.
