MONTREAL (CP) — Mon-
treal Canadiens defeated To-
fronto Maple Leafs 5-3
Tuesday night in the opening
game of their National
Hockey League best-of:
seven semi-final, but for the
Canadiens the game should
be a rout,

The defending Stanley Cup
champlons held a 36-15 edge
in shots on goal in the con-
test, but the Leafs took
advantage of some shaky
goaltending by Canadiens’
Ken Dryden to make it close,

Dryden said he was not
aby more nervous than usual
and the fact he was playing
his first game in a week did
not have anything to do with
his effort.

“The rest doesn't really
have any impact on a
goaitender," he said.
‘There's nothing really to
say about it (the rest).

"T wasn't any more ner:

“In the playoffs it
shouldn't matter how many
shots you get. You should be
up for anything. I think in the
Isianders series, there were
periods of four or five
minutes when I. wasn't get-

“Then, all of a sudden, I'd
get a breakaway. I had to be
ready for it.”

Palmateer, who allowed
Yvan Cournoyer’s 62nd and
63rd career playoff goals,
said he was relatively
pleased with his effort,
despite the fact the Leafs
were not winners,

Serge Savard, Jacques Le-
maire and Guy- Lafleur
scored the other goals for the
Canadiens who led 3-1 at the
endof the first period and 3-2
entering the final 20 minutes.

Cournoyer’s second goal of

With each of the eight
countries still to play three

possible for Canada to place
as low as fifth.

Only the top four teams,
after the preliminary play,
go into the medal round-
robin. The bottom four
merely play for position and
to avoid relegation.
