Page Twelve THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, May 1, 1971 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.
