Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Apparently the bare announcement that Charlie Conacher would assume coaching duties for Chicago Hawks (nee Johnny Gottselig, booted upstairs) was enough to magically spark the club that Tobin and Smythe built. Night after the change in master-minds was announced. Hawks defeated Rangers, the allegedly hot team, 7 to 1: They hopped into Boston and cuffed Bruins out 6 to 1. Big Chas. assumes the reins officially a Detroit next Monday. At the moment, he's hitting a clean 1,000, by year's end can't miss being regarded by the hockey experts as the leading coach of 1947!
