CONK DRISSCD FOR THI OCCASION $2.00 NNjmfctn PIR PERSON Gvtsti Forbes Kennedy of Toronto was suspended indefinitely for knocking down a linesman during an opening night brawl with Boston goalie Gerry Cheevers.

NHL President Clarence Campbell said he would make a final decision today. The only teams that stuck strictly to hockey were Montreal and New York. The Canadiens erupted for three goals in minutes of the second period to overcome a 2-1 Ranger lead. It was the ninth consecutive playoff victory for the Canadiens over New York dating back to 1957. Bobby Rousseau, Yvan Cournoyer and Jean Beliveau tallied during Montreal's second-period rally, while rookie Christian Bordeleau scored in the first period and Ralph Backstrom got an open net goal with 28 seconds left.

Rod Selling and Vic Hadfield were New York's marksmen. Boston socked it to Toronto again in the wake of an opening 10-0 massacre. Johnny Bucyk triggered the outburst with two first-period goals as the Bruins relaxed their muscles and stuck to finesse hockey for the most part. Ted Green, John McKenzie, Ken Hodge, Ron Murphy and Phil Esposito got the other goals. "They deserve the credit more than I do," said goalie Gerry Cheevers of his teammates.

"Our defense played super. The wings came back fast every time. Everybody was helping out." That included All-Star defenseman Bobby Orr, who suffered a concussion Wednesday night. The only brawl was a second-period slugfest between Boston's Don Awrey and Toronto's Larry Mickey. Gary Sabourin scored one goal and assisted on two others and goalie Jacques Plante recorded his llth career playoff shutout in a riotous St.

Louis triumph over Philadelphia. Bill McCreary, Larry Keenan, Red Berenson and Terry Gray were the other scorers. Both benches cleared in the second period during a stickwaving incident that saw Philly's Ed Van Impe ejected while Noel Picard and McCreary of the Blues got misconducts. Oakland's Doug Jarrett, in his first turn on the ice, snapped a 2-2 tie at 2:40 of the third period as the Seals evened things up with Los Angeles. Ted Hampson got the Seals' first two goals and Bob Dillabough scored into an empty net with 13 seconds left.

Oakland's Doug Roberts got the thumb for protesting too much on a goal by LA's Howie Menard. Ted Irvine also scored for the Kings. FOOT CAPTURE SALINA, Kan.
