Can anyone tell me why Jacques Plante got the start in game 6 of the
playoffs in 1971 against the Rangers instead of Bernie Parent? Plante
started the first game and played poorly. If I remember correctly,
Parent had won his last 13 starts against New York and had played well
in the series. So why didn't Parent start? Maybe a gut feeling or
instinct came into play? Thanks.

I'll have to do some digging through a few old newspapers.
