The scorers: 1-0 Taylor, 2-0 Plaxton; 3-0 Porter, 4-0 Trottier, 5-0 Plaxton, 6-0 Porter, 7-0 Trottier, 8-0 Taylor; 9-0 Plaxton, 10-0 Trottier, 11-0 Trottier, 12-0 Trottier, 13-0 Plaxton.
The Toronto Daily Star wrote that the ”Canadians played their regular starting lineup, using Roger Plaxton, Grant Gordon and Frank Sullivan as substitutes”.
The above scorers that Theo listed is what the Canadian newspapers had.
1-0 Ross Taylor
We can’t see the numbers, but the assist seems to be from Hugh Plaxton, as the guy have a black mark in the middle of his stick (# 5 have that).
2-0 Hugh Plaxton
Correct - Clearly scored by # 5, Plaxton.
3-0 Red Porter
Also correct from what I can tell. The guy who scores looks very much like Porter, tall and slender. He receives a pass from his left, right after that we see # 2 (Trottier) skating in from the left, seemingly the guy who delivered the pass.
4-0 Dave Trottier
Clear as a whistle, # 2 (Trottier) makes a solo dash from his own zone.
5-0 Hugh Plaxton
Impossible to say who scored the goal as we just see the goalie.
6-0 Red Porter
Seems to be correct, looks like Porter, and the guy delivering the pass is # 11 with the white beret on his head. Looking at the footage I first thought this was Frank Sullivan, older brother of the goalie Joe Sullivan, based on: 1) Sullivan was a substitute according to Toronto Daily Star 2) He have the same beret as his brother in goal 3) Has some physical resemblance in photos. However, the more I look at it, I now think # 11 may have been Roger Plaxton.
After the 6-0 goal we see # 8 (Sullivan?) standing along the boards. On the ice we see # 7 (Taylor) and # 11 (R.Plaxton?). I also noticed that the goalie “Stonewall” Sullivan had a different kind of beret on his head than previously. Only to have his old one back again a few seconds later in the clip, clearly the footage when showing the goalie is not in sequence.
7-0 Dave Trottier
Hard to tell, looks like it is Trottier carrying the puck and then we see the goalie being beaten.
8-0 Ross Taylor
To me it looks like # 7 (Taylor?) scored the goal, assisted by # 5 (H.Plaxton). So this seems to be correct. The other players visible in that same sequence, is # 4, who I am pretty sure is Lou Hudson, given his hair and style (a RW) and # 2 (Trottier). There is a fifth player, standing on defense, no number visible (Porter?). # 7 is seen together with # 5 in the footage shortly after that 8-0 goal, further strengthening that it was # 7 (Taylor?) indeed who scored.
9-0 Hugh Plaxton
Correct – This looks like Plaxton swooping on the goalie.
10-0 Dave Trottier
Here we can clearly see that it is not # 2 (Trottier) scoring the goal, because we can see him just after the other guy scored, who I believe is Hugh Plaxton.
11-0 Dave Trottier
Here we see the puck coming in from the left flank after a shot by an unknown player (# 2 – Trottier?). We see # 8 (Sullivan?), trying to have a go at the rebound, with # 3 (Porter) poking it in.
To me it looks like # 3 scored. Here again, it clearly seems to me that # 8 is Sullivan, when comparing to photos of his face.
12-0 Dave Trottier
We can’t see the goal, but it looks like Trottier getting to the puck just before the 12-0 sign.
13-0 Hugh Plaxton
Correct – It is Plaxton carrying the puck, stickhandling a bit and then scoring.
My conclusion is this:
1 – Joe Sullivan
2 – Dave Trottier
3 – Red Porter
4 – Lou Hudson
5 – Hugh Plaxton
6 – None visible in the game (either Gordon, Delahey or Fisher)
7 – Ross Taylor
8 – Frank Sullivan
9 – None visible in the game (either Gordon, Delahey or Fisher)
10 – None visible in the game (either Gordon, Delahey or Fisher)
11 – Roger Plaxton (eventually Delahey, but he was not listed as a substitute in this game)
Frank Fisher and Grant Gordon had moustaches at this point, neither # 8 or # 11 can bee seen to have that.
One confusing thing that I noticed just before the first goal being scored is a Canadian player with a white beret having the # 5 on his back. Who the hell is that ? Clearly Hugh Plaxton didn’t wear anything on his head.
