Richard's outburst led to threats on MacNeil's life and plainclothesmen surrounded the coach at the sixth game in Montreal. The Canadiens, as if driven by a mystical mission, roared from behind to win that one and did the same thing in the decisive seventh game, with Dryden's poaltending and two goals by Richard a king the difference.

AFTERWARDS here were two emotional scenes on the ice. In one, a dozen Montreal players mobbed Dryden as he made the final save and clinched the victory. In the other, Richard hugged MacNeil.

THE CANADIENS clinched the Cup last night with a drama-packed 3-2 victory over the Black Hawks in the seventh game. Much of the drama was provided by Dryden and Richard.

It was Richard's temper that exploded last weekend when he fumed at coach Al MacNeil after the fifth-game loss at Chicago. The sulking veteran, benched for one period, blasted the coach, ers sang their traditional song "Les Canadiens Sont La," which means the Canadiens are here.

"He's won one race in 2:06, at Three Rivers. In five races, he's won about $1,500." How does he reconcile this oddball sports double-up? "Hockey is my bread and butter," he said, "there's more tension in it for me.

What makes him so special, Guy Bristol is owned, trained and driven by Gilles Villemure. the Ranger goalie who for 10 years now has been taking up with the standardbreds as soon as the disk-dodging season ends. 1 His driving debut at Roosevelt Tuesday night behind a horse jointly owned by Lucien Fontaine and his Ranger buddy, Rod Gilbert, drew no raves.
