They have won two of four games — not a remarkable ach- ievement for last year’s league champions in any event — but the surprising thing is how they did get their wins.. . Their previous. victory came im the same do-it-the-hard-way fashion. They let New York Rangers walk over them in the first period last Saturday and take a 2-0 lead. Then the Habs roared back in ‘the second period to score four goals and go on to win. The Canadiens may hit the winning trail after Thursday night's ef- fort, but on the other. hand they might sink to the level of some of their worst play — and that’s been pretty bad. Toronto’s loss in the game left the Leafs in fifth place with three points, New York Rangers remain in last spot with two points. In Saturday's games, Boston travels to Montreal and Chicago plays the Leafs in Toronto. .
