Johnson's play in the finals last year with an injured knee is typical of the Johnson spirit and determination, ingredients which have mode him Canadiens most dependable defensive stalwart through the last half dozen seasons. He locks Doug Harvey's flair and is less effective offensively, but behind his own blueline, there is no steadier performer game in and game out. To Canadien officials one of the wonders of the one is that Johnson has only once gained All Star recognition in his eight seasons in the League, that in 1955-56 on the 2nd team.
