  On April 8, 1975, the New York Islanders faced the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden for game one of the preliminary round of the 1975 NHL playoffs.
• 0:17
  The Islanders were coached by Al Arbor and were in the playoffs for the first time in the franchise's three-year history.
• 0:23
  The Rangers were coached by Emil Francis and were looking for better success in the playoffs than in the past,
• 0:28
  despite finishing with more than 90 points in each of the past seven seasons.
• 0:32
  They only made it to the Stanley Cup finals once when they lost to the Bruins in 1972.
• 0:36
  This audio recording is from the radio broadcast featuring announcers Marv Albert and Sal Massina.

  Right now, Karl Martin on the public address running down the Sturdy Monarchs.

  Here are the officials hitting the ice. The referee tonight will be Wally Harris,

  and the linesman Leon Stickle and Bob Mungers will return after this word from Eastern Airlines.

• 2:29
  The New York Rangers have hit the ice, and it will be Ed Chalkin and in goal for the Rangers,
• 2:34
  the fighting two-hour left in this first period. Eddie, in the regular season, finished at 3.48 over 37 games,
• 2:42
  allowed 120 goals, came up with one shutout.
• 2:45
  For the New York Adidas, who will be hitting the ice in custom, it will be Glenn Rett.
• 2:50
  He has 2.47 during the course of the regular season, over 25 games, about 59 goals,
• 2:57
  and has a 7.53. The Adidas have moved the way through the last two times up.
• 3:04
  This past Sunday here at the Garden, by the score of 6 to 4, that's the Adidas' first victory ever at Madison Square Garden.
• 3:12
  And last Saturday at the Nassau Coliseum, by the same score of 6-4.
• 3:17
  Rangers and Adidas have met six times this season. Rangers have won three, the Adidas have won two.
• 3:23
  One game ended in a tie, lifetime. These two clubs have met 17 times, with the Rangers winning 13,
• 3:30
  the Adidas winning three, and they play that one tie.
• 3:33
  Here at the Garden, the Rangers have beaten the Adidas seven times, and there's been one Adidas victory and the one tie.
• 3:40
  Those nine games here at the Garden, the Rangers outscored the Adidas by a margin of 38 goals to 17.
• 3:46
  Billy Faburn with nine goals is the Rangers' leading lifetime goal scorer against the New York Islanders.
• 3:54
  So in a series like this, in that it is a best two out of three,
• 4:00
  you hear the boos from the New York Islanders as they hit the ice with my goaltender, Glenn Rich.
• 4:06
  In a series like this, best two out of three, I would have to say that, of course we won't know until we look back after it's all over,
• 4:14
  that first goal tonight could be immense.
• 4:17
  Especially the type of hockey the Islanders play, a defensive type of game.
• 4:21
  If they should score the first goal, it'll be to their advantage, I think.
• 4:25
  The Rangers, of course, play a good defensive game when they're on, and they've been on.
• 4:30
  Atlanta, a perfect example, I mentioned this on the pregame show, the Rangers actually went out down 2-0 on Friday night
• 4:37
  and came up with three goals playing a defensive type of hockey, except for the one power play goal.
• 4:41
  Of course, you're all out offensively. And the big fact of them all is the goaltender.
• 4:45
  The hot goaltender in a three-game series, we talk about a hot goaltender in a seven-game series,
• 4:50
  but a three-game series is a patchy for a goaltender, really, if you can stay hot,
• 4:55
  and you play one hot game, you have the psychological advantage, and that can keep going.
• 5:00
  And a best of three, very, very little operating room. In other words, no room at all full of mistakes.
• 5:07
  We're in game five of a seven-game series is what it amounts to.
• 5:11
  Okay, both clubs lined up at their blue lines. Here's the playing and singing of our national anthem.
• 5:18
  The national anthem.
• 5:48
  The national anthem.
• 6:13
  The national anthem.
• 6:44
  So, no question, the crowd is sky-high tonight.
• 6:48
  This shades of Nick playoff time when the crowd begins its chant during the last bars of the national anthem.
• 6:56
  And they were up, Marv, but that's the loudest pregame roar I've ever heard here at the Garden.
• 7:00
  At this place, of course, it's a larger place than the old Garden, where the crowd noise doesn't get as loud.
• 7:06
  At all of Nick games, it's tremendous, but that's the loudest I've heard the crowd try to face off.
• 7:11
  Decibel level here at the start at the Garden is way up there.
• 7:17
  As we get set for the opening faceoff, referee Willie Harris standing between Andre St. Laurent and the others, John Rotel and the Rangers.
• 7:24
  And the Rangers control it. Grant Park back at his blue line, throws it ahead for John Rotel.

• 7:35
  Amell Francis starting out with Rotel at center, Gilbert on the right, Vickers left, Nick Beverly, Grant Park on the back line.
• 7:43
  Al Arbor with an immediate line change to get the line he wants, and that is Jude Pruitt at center for Ed Westfall on the right side.

• 8:00
  Grant Park slides it ahead for Beverly. Beverly up across the red line, shoots in across the out of the line, picked off by Gilbert,
• 8:06
  jumped down the play, put in by Rotel, angle shot is way off on the rebound, it's Park at the right point, dumps it back behind the out of the net.
• 8:14
  Rotel chasing in the corner with Westfall, Westfall tries to clear, cannot, kept in by Beverly, back hands it into the corner to Vickers,
• 8:20

• 8:25
  but still is in the corner, Vickers in front, the dropout, but he could not get the stick on the bouncing puck,
• 8:30
  could not get the stick down, and the out of the line is moving up by Ceres Pruitt, oversteering at center,
• 8:34
  but stolen by Rotel, he's up for the out of the line, moving in on Hart, a drop for Park goes into the drive,
• 8:39

  it is taken by Jockerman, loses to Parisi, out to the point, Punchman on the screen, a shot, flips, they fade, and covered up by Jockerman,
• 9:25
  a lot of pushing and dribbling in front of it, once again with Beverly and Westfall and Pruitt getting involved,
• 9:31
  the Outers throwing a pretty fair attack on Ed Jockerman here at the start, we are a minute 40 in to period number one, no score,
• 9:42
  and a face off coming up, right side of the Ranger net.
• 9:45
  Ed Jockerman talking with Wally Harris now, he thought he was interfered by Druin, pushed Druin out, he was off balance,
• 9:51
  a shot almost coming from the point, catching Jockerman unaware, Eddie with a couple of good saves, Druin, Parisi, Westfall,
• 9:57
  doing a lot of digging, keeping the Rangers pinned in their end.
• 10:00
  Now both clubs make line changes, Rangers go with Walter Kajuk at center for Derek Sanderson and Bill Fairburn,
• 10:07
  Bob Bourne steps out with Trent Gillies on the left, Billy Harris right off the face, it is controlled by the Rangers,
• 10:13

  he moves to center, eludes the check of Lewis and then throws it away, picked off by Harris at the end of the line,
• 10:33
  he is bottled up by Kajuk, Kajuk stick checks it onto the stick of Greshner, but as Greshner throws in,
• 10:39
  Fairburn ahead of the play and offside and they'll bring it back.
• 10:43
  Both clubs have come out flying, both clubs digging hard, a lot of body contact here in the early moments,
• 10:49
  we are scoreless with 2-0-5 gone by, Kajuk will go on this face off against Bourne,
• 10:55
  they face outside the New York Islander blue line, it is Glenn Resch defending 2-hour right and Ed Schachman 2-hour left,
• 11:03
  Rangers skate left to right and the Islanders right to left, Lewis controls the face for the Islanders,
• 11:07
  cross-ice to Marshall, he is in heavy traffic, winds it around the boards, Ballewas tries to clear out,
• 11:12
  he cannot, Kajuk keeps it, he is sent us on the slot, a shot, stick to side by Resch, on the rebound,
• 11:17
  Fairburn comes together with Gillies in the corner, Kajuk comes over to work it free,
• 11:21
  throws it onto the point, Marrott cannot get to it, it is knocked aside by Harris,

  soft shot, stick to side by Schachman and cleared out, hard check by Gillies on Sanders and as Fairburn cuts in,
• 11:43

• 11:50
  South, Billy Harris on the last Islander, Rush trying to get behind the defense and Greshner trying to push him offside on a play,
• 11:57
  Kajuk checking back on the play, picking up the loose puck and Waller looks like his old self playing with those skates,
• 12:04
  he has had a lot of opportunities where he has po-checked the puck away from him,
• 12:07
  one opportunity from Billy Harris, still able to move the puck with the skates.
• 12:10
  On the face off, Rangers control once again, Park takes, holds it away from the forechecking Bourne,
• 12:16
  ahead now to center to Fairburn, a lead for Sanderson as he straddles the out of the line,
• 12:20
  he takes a check from Hart and goes flying and Putman comes up with the puck,
• 12:24
  circles deep in his own end, comes off the board, Hart tries to keep it,
• 12:28
  Kanaan is batted all the way down by Gillies, across the Ranger goal line, backboard Beverly, a whistle for Ising and they'll bring it back.
• 12:35
  Would you like to know how to pay for something special when you haven't got the cash?
• 12:40
  Well, just apply for command credit at Manufacturers' Hanover.
• 12:44
  Now with it you have a pool of money you can borrow from for emergencies or those buys of a lifetime, simply by writing a personal check.
• 12:52
  Command credit for Manufacturers' Hanover, it all adds up to a convenient way to pay for things when you haven't got the cash.
• 12:59
  Manufacturers' Hanover, it's banking the way you want it to be, remember FDIC, equal opportunity lender.
• 13:05
  On the face off, deep in out of the ice, sent back for Howard, the out of the goal line, Hart there for the out of the,
• 13:10
  comes off the boards intended for Howard, but it's off the mark and it carries all the way down across the Ranger goal line,
• 13:16
  Park backboard, watched by the forechecking St. Laurent, tosses it ahead, now Stamkowski winning at center, shoots in,
• 13:22
  it's deflected off to the right of Gresh, bounds behind him now, makes the stick stump for Hart, who throws it on the new boards for Howard.
• 13:28
  Howard out of the zone, moving on Park at center, shoots it ahead, stumped by the skates of Park, kicked away by St. Laurent,
• 13:34
  back past Iceberg, was intercepted by Stamkowski, throws it the other way, but inattentively, unattentively throws it deep in his own territory.
• 13:41
  Stamkowski comes over, looking to pin, Park is pushed along the boards and now the puck is pinned in, and play is called.
• 13:48
  Rangers almost got caught because Middleton fell down, but pass from Stamkowski intended for Middleton,
• 13:54
  and it ends up a frozen puck deep in Ranger ice, making for a face off to the right side of Chalkamon.
• 13:59
  Both teams, the defensemen making the plays in the offensive zone, the Ounters did it a couple of times,
• 14:05
  Brad Falk and Gresh are trying it, this time Jerry Hart keeping the puck in the Ranger end, intercepting that Stamkowski pass.
• 14:12
  Now the face between Stamkowski and St. Laurent, to the left of Chalkamon, comes to the point, Lewis a slap,
• 14:18
  knocked aside by the stick of Beverly, Beverly chases along with Nicebun,
• 14:21
  heart check issued by Nicebun on Beverly who rolls it around to the near side, now Park fires ahead,
• 14:26
  and here's Stamkowski on the rush to center, up across the outer of the line, he's hauled down, and a penalty upcoming.
• 14:32
  Stamkowski hauled down, and Wally Harris with the call, it is a trip against the Islanders.
• 14:37
  What a move by Peter Stamkowski, taking the breakout pass from Middleton,
• 14:41
  between a Ranger blue line and a center red line, caught Marshall committing himself,
• 14:45
  he was breaking for the hole between Marshall and Lewis, Marshall tried to cover up the hole,
• 14:50
  Stamkowski broke outside, and had not Marshall brought him down, Stemma would have been in on the breakaway.
• 14:56
  A trip on Burt Marshall, 4-0-4, and the Rangers have the man advantage right here,
• 15:02
  they go with Bertell at center, Vickers left, Faburn right, Park and Gilbert are back,
• 15:08
  elsewhere at the back, still second period, Boston leading Chicago 3-0,
• 15:14
  two of the goals scored within nine seconds of the second period by Ken O'Faddey,
• 15:19
  and LeBray Savard, and St. Louis leading Pittsburgh 2-0,
• 15:24
  later on Toronto will play the Kings in LA, here's the face,
• 15:27
  and out of the way, controlled by the Rangers, Park at the left point,
• 15:30
  ahead it goes to the far side for Vickers, back pass, center for Gilbert, deflects away,
• 15:34
  recovered by Faburn, close to the near court, blue Faburn circles, back to the right for Gilbert,
• 15:39
  he shoots, it goes wide, bounce over the board, kept in by Park, then knocked aside,
• 15:43
  and Westmore troops to center, has a two on one with Heading, Heading in across the Ranger line,
• 15:47
  Heading shoots, blocked, rebound, Heading across, doubled up by Chakraman, and kicked off by Gilbert,
• 15:52
  now here come the Rangers to center, a pass for Rattelle, he's to the out of the line,
• 15:56
  takes a heart check from Parkman, breaking up the play very well,
• 15:59
  and Heading comes up with a loose puck again, moves to center, he is checked in on the board by Park,
• 16:03
  who stops it and Faburn takes it away, now Faburn moving along the far side,
• 16:07
  he is met by Heading, Heading all over Faburn, they battle, now it is picked off by Park,
• 16:12
  Park's to candles to center, right wing feed, Chaubert, head for Rattelle,
• 16:16
  ahead of the play, offside, and they'll bring it back, a minute 10 remaining on that island,
• 16:20
  penalty to Burke Marshall, we have no score, first period, and no question, Sal,
• 16:25
  playoff hockey at its very best right here, and we're only five minutes in,
• 16:29
  but a lot of excitement, both clubs are hitting, both clubs are skating,
• 16:33
  and now one lucky break, Rob, Heading is Westmore, iced the puck, the puck deflecting off referee,
• 16:39
  or Lionsman Leon Stickle, setting up that island of two on one,
• 16:43
  break away, and he, Roger O'Bear, making the save, a great save on the shot by Heading,
• 16:48
  on the face off outside the out of the line, it comes to center, Chaubert, stick handles with it,
• 16:52
  cuts left on Westmore, leaves for Park, a return for Chaubert, Rangers try to get this power play going,
• 16:58
  now Chaubert goes in with a slap, that is blocked, and it bounds out of the zone,
• 17:01
  off the skate of Park, and taken up center by Park, 50 seconds remaining on that Burke Marshall penalty,
• 17:07
  here's Chaubert, up to the red line, a hit, Faburn crosses the out of the blue line, breaks wide,
• 17:11
  sends in Ford, and an almost beat Glenn Rush, it was actually a pass,
• 17:15
  and Rush was able to pick it off out of the air, with Rattelle weaving his stick in front,
• 17:21
  and what a tough play that was for Rush, that puck in the air going towards his feet,
• 17:25
  and he didn't know whether to reach down or not, Rattelle waving his stick, if he reached down too soon,
• 17:29
  and Rattelle does deflect it, it's bye bye, it'll go over his shoulder,
• 17:33
  now Rattelle will go against Westmore, facing left side of the islander net,
• 17:38
  42 seconds on the penalty, on the face, Heading takes, and quickly clears all the way down ice,
• 17:44
  in one motion he snaps it to the right side of Jock, and he snaps it now,
• 17:48
  for Gilbert, half minute remaining on that penalty, Gilbert wheels it around the boards for Faburn,
• 17:53
  Faburn met by the check of Park, loses control, if the range allow Rattelle recovers,
• 17:57
  goes cross ice, a wild pass, Park has to take and back skate away from Heading,
• 18:01
  Adler's doing a good job, Heading the ranger's in, now here's Park up to center,
• 18:05
  a lead for Rattelle, can't handle it, slides off his stick, Park chases it down,
• 18:09
  moves back to the other net, hoops it around the boards, Faburn keeps it up the near side,
• 18:13
  Faburn is turned around by Heading, looks to get it out, cannot,
• 18:16
  Joback comes over to work free, out it goes to Rattelle, there's a wide open shot,
• 18:19
  the snub shooter steps to Park, he shoots, it is deflected and falls short,
• 18:23
  clamped down by the goaltender, Rush, and he holds on, Rattelle had the open shot,
• 18:28
  but got the pastures left to Park, and Park's shot was a good one, but someone got a piece of it,
• 18:33
  and slowed it down, allowing for the cover up by Rush, and that does it for the Burt Markville penalty.
• 18:38
  The tennis pot middle got the piece of the shot by Brad Park, deflected it enough,
• 18:43
  where Steve Vickers, who was making his effort, or a run in front of Rush,
• 18:47
  in order to screen him out on the original shot, went right past the puck,
• 18:50
  puck just dribbling to Glenn Rush.
• 18:53
  Now Stamkowski steps on with Irvin on the left, Middleton right,
• 18:57
  Marotte and Greshner are back on the face off, St. Laurent for the outlander,
• 19:00
  shoots it out of the zone, played by Greshner at center,
• 19:03
  flicks it back to the outlander line, and then Dave Lewis fires it out to the ranger line,
• 19:07
  Marotte takes there, a lead off the ice, and tenor for Stamkowski,
• 19:10
  intercepted by the outlanders, now Lewis starts up on the near board,
• 19:13
  Lewis to center, throws it ahead, but it's broken up by Stamkowski,
• 19:17
  makes the turn, leads Middleton, broken up nicely by Howitt,
• 19:20
  snapping it back out to center ice, Marotte takes there, and guns in,
• 19:24
  but Stamkowski and Middleton both ahead of the play and offside.
• 19:27

• 20:00
  Off the face, puck, loose along the boards, then a slap by Middleton as he works it free,
• 20:05
  goes wide out of the flexion and rolls around.
• 20:07
  Nice from Irvine, come together at the far side, doing some pretty good bumping as the puck is cleared out of the zone.
• 20:12
  Middleton takes it center, ahead for Greshner.

  Greshner rushing to the outer line, a drop for Irvine, knocked away by St. Laurent,
• 20:18

  Harris starts on the middle side, loses to Folbert on a stick check, throws it in front,
• 21:42
  Kachuk cannot get to it, Phillies does, and starts up three man rush, three Rangers back,
• 21:46
  a flip on the right for Bourne, back pass, Harris shot, goes wide.
• 21:50
  Intended deflection by Phillies was off the mark, and then it's pinned in the corner,
• 21:54
  Gillies and Kachuk holding it in, and play is called.
• 21:57
  So face off now, keeping the ring for ice.
• 22:00
  No Ranger winger going, back on the play, and Gillies left all alone on that shot from the point.
• 22:05
  Chakamit, I think, may have gotten just a little piece of it to deflect it in the corner,
• 22:09
  had that shot been a little lower, a lot of trouble for the Rangers.
• 22:12
  Defensive makes a play in the corner, leaving that side of the ice open,
• 22:16
  and Billy Faburn, who was the right winger, was out covering the point,
• 22:19
  had a drift back to help out in front of that net.
• 22:21
  Bruin and Ratel on the face now, controlled by Greshner circling at the near side,
• 22:25
  hit by Parisi, but throws it ahead.
• 22:27
  Vickers cutting it on the left wing, overskates, and Westfall able to bat it back out of the zone.
• 22:31
  Played up center now by Gilbert. Gilbert circles, behind the back,
• 22:35
  Ratel crosses the out of the line, returns to Gilbert at the right point,
• 22:38
  looks to go cross-ice, but it's broken up by Bruin, back forward at center is Marat.
• 22:42
  Marat for the Rangers goes cross-ice to Gilbert, Gilbert down the center slot,
• 22:46
  he's up to the out of the line with a shot that has deflected wide, left side of Gresh,
• 22:50
  hard backboard in the corner, twists it around the boards,
• 22:53
  it is taken by Westfall at the far side, checked by Ratel as he sends to center to Druin.
• 22:58
  A lead on the left wing, Parisi across the Ranger line,
• 23:00
  checked hard by Greshner, loses control, the puck loose in the corner now,
• 23:04
  Greshner is there, along with Parisi, Parisi looks to set up,
• 23:08
  centering attempt knocked away by the stick of Chalkamon,
• 23:10
  and it comes to Gilbert at the near side and Ranger ice,
• 23:13
  shoots it out of the zone, but it's played up center by Dennis Putnam of the Onidas.
• 23:16
  Ahead now Parisi, taken out of the play by Marat,
• 23:19
  Parisi keeps going, catches over to the corner, centering feed,
• 23:22
  intercepted by Gilbert, and he starts up.
• 23:24
  Here's Gilbert at the center, feet on the right,
• 23:26
  Parikers on the off-wing, goes over the slap that is blocked by Hart,
• 23:29
  it pumps high in the air, rolls loose in the slot, still loose,
• 23:32
  Hartman dumped by Marat, and Hart comes up on the puck.
• 23:35
  Ahead to the left wing, Parisi shoots it out to center, intercepted by Greshner,
• 23:39
  Greshner around it through, and as both clubs change on the go,
• 23:42
  here's Greshner on the rush to the out of the line,
• 23:44
  pass mark, tries to penetrate, but it's turned around on the play by Putnam,
• 23:48
  and the puck cleared to the near side.
• 23:50
  Hart checked hard on the corner by Putnam as he clears all the way down.
• 23:53
  It's across the Ranger blue line, how it and Marat come together,
• 23:56
  they get to it at the same time, deflecting off their string,
• 23:59
  and through the crowd, the play is called.
• 24:01
  Couple of good checks, first by Gilles Marat on Dennis Putnam,
• 24:04
  and Butler in the corner on Hart,
• 24:06
  and the one on Putnam was a situation where the puck was up in the air
• 24:09
  as if you're holding two balls and throw one up in the air,
• 24:11
  as he's looking at that when you throw another ball or you hit the man,
• 24:14
  and that's exactly what happened to Putnam.
• 24:16
  For example, Billy Fairbury not covering up in front,
• 24:18
  the last Allender rush, Roger L'Bair taking the man in front,
• 24:21
  as Fairbury did not.
• 24:23
  On the face, Burt Marshall, a slap from the point,
• 24:25
  is stopped by the pads of Jockemet, comes to the corner,
• 24:28
  Butler is really ripped by Saint Laurent as the Rangers clear it out of the zone.
• 24:32
  Played up center by Howard, checked by Stankowski ahead,
• 24:35
  Neistrom as he throws it in, left side of Jockemet, chased down by Pevely,
• 24:39
  he's hit by Neistrom, Pevely cuts to the near side,
• 24:41
  and Pevely looks to clear out, cannot get him by Howard,
• 24:43
  his drive is wide, out of deflection,
• 24:45
  and now the puck picked up behind the net by Park, Park starting up,
• 24:49
  Park ahead now for Pevely, Pevely is up to center,
• 24:52
  a lead for Stankowski, and across the line, but a whistle for an offside.
• 24:57
  Things are getting very testy out there now,
• 24:59
  so just a moment ago, Neistrom and Urban collided, landed on each other at center ice,
• 25:05
  neither would let the other get up,
• 25:07
  and then finally when Urban was able to pull away, took a couple of shoves from Neistrom.
• 25:11
  Neistrom throwing a little glove hand on Urban's face.
• 25:14
  Stankowski on the face with Saint Laurent, controlled by the Onidas in their own end,
• 25:18
  Lewis on the left defense starts up, he carries to center,
• 25:21
  shoots it ahead on the right wing, batted the other way by Urban, who dumps in.
• 25:25
  Left side of the islander net, picked up by Burt Marshall,
• 25:29
  throws to center ice now to Saint Laurent, he's watched by Park,
• 25:32
  Saint Laurent spins away back to his blue line,
• 25:35
  and then sends out the right defense for Marshall, back to Saint Laurent,
• 25:38
  off his stick, rolls to Park at the range of line, and he sends ahead.
• 25:41
  Now the Rangers move up, Stankowski to the red line, shoots in, left side of Glenn Rush,
• 25:46
  chased down to the corner by Lewis, hit hard by Butler,
• 25:49
  and we have a penalty upcoming, penalty upcoming against the Rangers.
• 25:53
  Neistrom starts up, the extra pull it on, here's a pass for Marshall,
• 25:57
  Marshall cuts in, but we get a whistle with an outbreak in the corner.
• 26:01
  Howard and Urban are going at each other, in the corner,
• 26:04
  now Neistrom comes flying over, and let's see what is occurring in the corner,
• 26:08
  we're completely screened out, I saw Urban kind of shove Howard away,
• 26:14
  and that's the last I saw of both as they both hit the ice,
• 26:18
  to our right, and Dave Lewis and Jerry Butler, who are the guys who started it all,
• 26:25
  are now doing some pushing and shoving with the referee Wally Harris,
• 26:28
  trying to separate them.
• 26:30
  The last I saw before they went down, Bob, was Teddy Urban pushing Howard down
• 26:34
  and getting on top of him, and we can't see any more after that.
• 26:37
  Howard's helmet's off, and I saw Urban grab for Howard's head as he was going down,
• 26:42
  and I think that's what he was looking for, to take off Howard's helmet.
• 26:45
  Take off his head, sir?
• 26:47
  Yeah, it's tough standing on a table, Bob.
• 26:52
  From what we saw, it did not appear that any hard punchers were landed,
• 26:57
  as they ended up wrestling down to the ice.
• 27:00
  I think we're going to see Urban, Howard go in, and probably Butler,
• 27:04
  who was going to draw that original penalty.
• 27:07
  The Boston Brawns now lead the Chicago Blackhawks 6-0.
• 27:13
  And the second period, Bruins 6-0, up on the Boston guy.
• 27:18
  Well, Blackhawks going through the playoffs the same way they played the year, Bob.
• 27:21
  They had a disappointing year. They've had a lot of injuries also with Bill White,
• 27:25
  Phil Russell out for a while, White out three-quarters of the season,
• 27:29
  and just not the team that they were.
• 27:31
  Dennis Hollis played hurt, missed quite a few games down the stretch.
• 27:37
  St. Louis over Pittsburgh, 2-0 in the second period.
• 27:41
  The Penguins, who have been nearly invincible at home,
• 27:44
  are trailing the Blues in the second at home.
• 27:47
  Bob, I got a kick out of that, what Carl Martin just said, New York penalties.
• 27:52
  It just struck me funny when he said it, we have the two New York teams.
• 27:58
  Getting back to St. Louis, I guess you have to be there.
• 28:04
  There are the penalties being handed out on the islanders, Gary Howitt,
• 28:11
  five minutes per fighting.
• 28:13
  Jerry Butler, two minutes per elbowing.
• 28:17
  And Ted Irvin gets a five for fighting on a 10-48.
• 28:21
  So Irvin and Howitt will be unavailable for the next five minutes.
• 28:26
  Those two penalties will not affect player strength on ice,
• 28:30
  but Jerry Butler's elbowing penalty will,
• 28:32
  and so the islanders have the man advantage for two minutes.
• 28:35
  Time of the penalty, 10-48.
• 28:37
  Let's pause right here for station identification.
• 28:40
  This is WNEW in New York.
• 28:42
  Now we broadcast these games for your enjoyment,
• 28:45
  and also my show, the Gene Clavin show, from 5.30 to 10.
• 28:48
  Marv, if you need help, I'm here.
• 28:50
  Okay, Gene, play back in off the faceoff.
• 28:52
  Rangers can follow that on it.
• 28:54
  And Beveley takes and shoots it all the way down.
• 28:56
  Fairburn after it in the corner, along with Dennis Potman.
• 28:59
  They come together.
• 29:00
  Now Potman cuts back behind his net, trickles it over to brother John.
• 29:04
  Back the other way to Dennis.
• 29:05
  Standing back behind the islander net, now he starts up.
• 29:08
  The islanders have the man advantage.
• 29:09
  We're scoreless, first period, 8.45 for Manny.
• 29:12
  Bourne to center, back pass for Potman.
• 29:14
  Has to start it all over again.
• 29:15
  This is Dennis handling it at center.
• 29:17
  Now cross-ice to John Potman, and he dumps it in.
• 29:19
  Left side of Jockeman, and he steers it behind the net.
• 29:22
  Park is there, checked by Bourne.
• 29:24
  Park winds it around for Fairburn, looks to clear and he does.
• 29:27
  Throws it past Dennis Potman all the way down.
• 29:30
  John Potman back forward.
• 29:32
  Walter Kachuk, four checks.
• 29:33
  Now John holds up back behind the net and regroups the foul play
• 29:37
  with a minute 10 remaining on the Ranger penalty to Jerry Butler.
• 29:40
  John Potman to center, shoots in.
• 29:42
  Left side of Jockeman, plays it off to Mors, then whips it around to the far side.
• 29:46
  Bourne able to keep in.
• 29:47
  Out to the point, it goes to John Potman.
• 29:48
  Back to Bourne at the far side.
• 29:50
  Hisslap, stick save, played by Jockeman and cleared by Park.
• 29:54
  Stopped by the goaltender, Resch, to the left of the net.
• 29:57
  Islanders change on the fly.
• 29:59
  West ball steps off.
• 30:00
  Dennis Potman's pass stolen at center by Kachuk.
• 30:02
  Back pass to Beverly at the Ranger line.
• 30:04
  Cross-ice now, Park 40 seconds remaining on the penalty.
• 30:07
  A hit Fairburn at center.
• 30:08
  Over to Kachuk, and they're out of the line.
• 30:10
  Hisslap, deflects wide off the stick of John Potman.
• 30:12
  Resch comes out to clear it around the boards, but Kachuk
• 30:14
  steers back forward and throws it out to center to Park.
• 30:17
  Rangers doing a good job killing off this penalty.
• 30:20
  Now Park starts up, comes back the other way away from Bruin,
• 30:23
  rolls cross-ice to Maroc.
• 30:25
  Deep in his own head, Maroc shoots it out, but it's intercepted by
• 30:27
  Felici, knocked away by Fairburn, gets it over to Kachuk.
• 30:30
  Back it goes to Maroc, cross-ice Park.
• 30:32
  Rangers doing the job, killing McClark.
• 30:34
  Now Park comes back the other way, 10 seconds on the penalty.
• 30:37
  Now the crowd roaring as Park stands at center.
• 30:39
  Move to the Ranger line.
• 30:41
  Now puts it over to Fairburn.
• 30:42
  Fairburn circles at center.
• 30:44
  Back off to Park.
• 30:45
  Back over to the penalty, standing ovation for the Rangers.
• 30:48
  Kachuk starts up as Butler coming in.
• 30:50
  Here's Kachuk trying to leave Butler with the pass off the mark
• 30:53
  all the way down across the goal line of the Islanders.
• 30:56
  Cut fade, and we got a whistle through icing.
• 30:58
  Near breakaway by Joey Butler, but he was not spotted when he
• 31:04
  cut toward that islander blue line, but now an ovation for
• 31:07
  this penalty killing effort by the New York Rangers.
• 31:10
  Islanders did a great job of killing the penalty against the
• 31:12
  Rangers, but nowhere near that one.
• 31:14
  The only shot Bobby Bourne from way across the ice against the
• 31:18
  far boards, taking a shot from the angle that Jockeman handled.
• 31:21
  And then Kachuk, Fairburn, Park, and Marat killing off about
• 31:25
  50 seconds with the Islanders not even seeing the ball.
• 31:28
  Off the face, shot by St. Laurent, the flex.
• 31:30
  Right in front, Jockeman clearing it out of the board.
• 31:32
  Middleton shoots it out to center.
• 31:34
  Lay down at center by Burke Markle on the outer,
• 31:36
  shoots in back behind it.
• 31:37
  Jockeman makes the stick stop and leaves it for Marat.
• 31:41
  Marat counts off the board.
• 31:42
  Out of the stick, a metal pin shoots it to the left-wing
• 31:44
  Poulos who makes his first appearance of the night.
• 31:46
  Poulos' pass into something by Markle ahead from Nicegrim.
• 31:49
  He's trapped down the play by Marat.
• 31:51
  Nicegrim bites his way to the ranger line, loses control,
• 31:53
  and Sanderson takes back passes to Krashner.
• 31:56
  He's hit by McCullough and is retrieved by Markle.
• 31:58
  Chopped down by Marat as he shoots in.
• 32:00
  Left side of Jockeman, Sanderson back forward.
• 32:03
  Take the ball out, takes it back for Markle, loses control.
• 32:06
  McCullough goes in with a backhand and a stop by Sanderson.
• 32:09
  A stop by Poulos, two men rushed for the ranger, two out of the
• 32:12
  back. Poulos leads it ahead for Middleton, but it's intercepted
• 32:15
  by Lewis of the Islanders who shoots it out of the zone.
• 32:17
  Here's Billy McMillan at center, throwing in.
• 32:20
  Left side of the net by Jockeman, holds it away from
• 32:22
  Nicegrim, sweeps it around to the near side.
• 32:24
  Middleton there, checked by Saint-Gerard, looks to clear out
• 32:26
  Knot, kept in by McMillan.
• 32:28
  McMillan banks it off the boards for Nicegrim.
• 32:30
  Nicegrim cuts to the corner.
• 32:31
  Nicegrim, Sanderson, no one there.
• 32:33
  Taken down by Lewis at the point.
• 32:34
  His shot is...
• 32:35
  Whoa! That's a midsection by Jockeman and a whoop-ah!
• 32:39
  Jockeman juggles.
• 32:41
  Adds some words now between Andre Saint-Laurent and
• 32:45
  Ron Greshner.
• 32:46
  The two licensed Leon Stickerman and Bob Hunter's
• 32:49
  immediately intervene and nothing serious develops.
• 32:52
  We're going to face off now to the right side of the ranger
• 32:55
  at 5.52. Remaining close for a no-score.
• 32:59
  It has been a superb post-mourning of Jockeman.
• 33:02
  Very exciting game, close checking him on the rangers.
• 33:05
  Again, getting a curveball.
• 33:06
  And Middleton and Pruitt, Pruitt is standing stationary
• 33:09
  on the left board.
• 33:10
  Sanderson couldn't be able to work the poke against him
• 33:12
  as the island of offense just moves up.
• 33:14
  Sanderson had to make a play in the middle, almost got
• 33:16
  trapped, had to come back and make a good save himself.
• 33:18
  And then Middleton, three rangers, one islander around,
• 33:20
  gave the puck away.
• 33:21
  On the faceoff, Jephen Ranger, ice-torn control,
• 33:24
  spins back behind us.
• 33:25
  That trail by Pruitt throws it ahead.
• 33:27
  Here's Patel out of the zone.
• 33:28
  Vickers left, Gilber right.
• 33:29
  A lead for Gilber knocked away.
• 33:31
  Rod keeps it alive.
• 33:32
  On a back pass, he's stuck on the play.
• 33:34
  Penalty upcoming.
• 33:35
  Penalty against the islanders.
• 33:36
  A hook call on J.P. Parisi.
• 33:40
  And so the rangers will have the man of honor.
• 33:43
  Gilber trying to break through, and Parisi did not know
• 33:46
  what Gilber was going to do.
• 33:47
  Gilber made a drop pass.
• 33:49
  And Parisi would have known that.
• 33:51
  He would not have pulled him down past it.
• 33:54
  Eventually ended on the stick of an islander
• 33:56
  and came out of the zone.
• 33:57
  That's a bad play going in the middle like that,
• 33:59
  making a drop pass.
• 34:00
  That's what he did, but Rangers lucked out on the play
• 34:03
  as Parisi picked up the penalty.
• 34:05
  A tie with a hook.
• 34:06
  14-21, Parisi out for two.
• 34:09
  Rangers have the man advantage.
• 34:12
  Rotella front with Vickers.
• 34:13
  And Pari, left it.
• 34:14
  And Pari, back it.
• 34:15
  And Pari, spins it.
• 34:16
  And Pari, the face closing all the way down.
• 34:18
  Jockeman sprays out 10 feet to his left to stop it
• 34:21
  and leaves it out for Gilber.
• 34:23
  Gilber looks to start off on the line of work.
• 34:26
  And he's going to be by the west of you with it.
• 34:31
  And you make your way to the last one.
• 34:33
  Should get better gas mileage.
• 34:35
  Throws it on the stick of left-hander.
• 34:37
  And a swept aside by Barber.
• 34:39
  Clears back foot.
• 34:40
  You save yourself time, too, by minimizing the change
• 34:43
  in the foil.
• 34:44
  Henning gets to the front.
• 34:45
  Barber is doing a good job.
• 34:46
  Henning takes that clear all the way down.
• 34:49
  Right side of Jockeman.
• 34:50
  A minute and 20 remaining on the J.P. Parisi penalty.
• 34:53
  Rangers have the man advantage.
• 34:54
  They are sort of first period five minutes remaining.
• 34:56
  Just find out for yourself.
• 34:58
  All about four.
• 34:59
  Now parked up to center.
• 35:00
  Beat on the left for Vickers.
• 35:02
  Across the end of the line, a hit for Witell.
• 35:04
  Knocked away, back pass for it.
• 35:05
  Francis Donald up, gets it ahead with Gilber.
• 35:07
  Gives him the chance to answer.
• 35:09
  And Vickers.
• 35:10
  And a beauty by Gresh.
• 35:12
  He was able to hold on between the pads.
• 35:18
  Vickers paces off to the right side of the out on the net.
• 35:21
  I say, Gresh.
• 35:22
  You're dead, Bob.
• 35:23
  Great anticipation by Gresh on the play.
• 35:25
  He knew Gilber.
• 35:27
  Using anticipation.
• 35:30
  Gilber shooting.
• 35:32
  He knew Vickers was to his right.
• 35:33
  He went for the stack pad.
• 35:35
  The play to the flexion by Vickers.
• 35:37
  Beautiful anticipation by Gresh to make that save.
• 35:39
  Mark face off to the right side of Clement Rich.
• 35:42
  It is controlled by Vickers.
• 35:44
  Up to Mark Harkin.
• 35:45
  Vickers comes to the front.
• 35:47
  Mark Stucanos ahead of Joe Stado.
• 35:49
  Vickers back to Gilber.
• 35:51
  The park takes the shot.
• 35:52
  Flies it over to Faber at the near corner.
• 35:54
  Faber is checked down the plays.
• 35:56
  Faber is tied up.
• 35:58
  Lewis comes over to work it through.
• 36:00
  He pushes it.
• 36:01
  Faber loses control and Rush is able to clap the glove down.
• 36:07
  And hold on at the side of the net.
• 36:09
  Four seventeen left in the center.
• 36:12
  It's still 38 seconds remaining on that island of penalty.
• 36:16
  Greshie at the end of one in Houston.
• 36:18
  And Dave Warner versus the strong and a player on the next 27.
• 36:22
  Houston Rockets 24.
• 36:24
  One more to play next 27.
• 36:26
  Rockets 24.
• 36:28
  Face off to the side of Glenn Rush.
• 36:30
  Faber, Vickers up front.
• 36:33
  Chopin in front.
• 36:35
  On the back line.
• 36:37
  Westboro reserve against Bratton on the space off.
• 36:40
  But Lewis sent to the left of Rush.
• 36:42
  Picked off by Marshall.
• 36:43
  Whips it around the board.
• 36:44
  Mark can't keep in.
• 36:45
  Knocked the side.
• 36:46
  Westboro takes it center.
• 36:47
  One man back at Joe Bear.
• 36:48
  Westboro across the range of the shot blocked by Joe Bear.
• 36:51
  Picked off by Rotel.
• 36:52
  And the Rangers move up.
• 36:53
  Now to Joe Bear's center.
• 36:55
  Joe Bear up across the out of the line.
• 36:56
  Joe Bear breaks for the far side.
• 36:58
  Joe Bear cuts in.
• 36:59
  A fast little backhander is doubled up by Rush.
• 37:02
  And he holds on.
• 37:04
  Rotel did not get the good shot off.
• 37:06
  A soft bouncer that could have been tricky.
• 37:09
  But Rush hanging right in.
• 37:11
  Was able to come up with the glove save.
• 37:13
  And we have sixteen seconds remaining on that three-seat penalty.
• 37:16
  Eddie Westphal doing a good job keeping the Rangers pinned.
• 37:19
  Again, Roger Bear had to make the save in the Ranger end.
• 37:22
  But this time, Joe Bear working to poke in at a crowd.
• 37:25
  Was able to go to the opposite side and set up Rotel for that play.
• 37:28
  But as you said Bob, the pass up in the air.
• 37:30
  Rotel swiping at it and Rush had the angle completely.
• 37:34
  The combination of Ed Westphal and Lauren Heading.
• 37:37
  One of the better penalty killing units in the National Hockey League.
• 37:41
  They have done the job throughout the season.
• 37:44
  Westphal and Heading remain on the face off.
• 37:46
  It's sent to the air boards. Heading is after it.
• 37:48
  Clears it all the way down. Slapping it past Park.
• 37:51
  And sending the length of the ice. That will do it for the penalty.
• 37:54
  Beverly back forward now as Parisi gets set to return.
• 37:57
  Here's Beverly to center. Parisi back.
• 37:59
  Flip for Stamkowski on the right.

  That is knocked away by Park who sends all the way down.
• 38:07
  Park back forward. Three and a half remaining.
• 38:09
  First three at no score.
• 38:11
  Beverly from Park. Ahead now Butler at center.
• 38:13
  Butler then flips in.
• 38:15
  Right side of Resch.
• 38:17
  Resch jumps it for Habit up for Nicebrunn.
• 38:19
  Those penalties on Howitt and Butler have expired.
• 38:22
  He takes away from Park and feeds in close to Beverly.
• 38:24
  But it's knocked aside by Hart.
• 38:26
  Out of the stick of McMillan at center.
• 38:28
  McMillan checked off the puck by Greshner.
• 38:30
  But it's picked up by Saint-Laurent.
• 38:32
  Crosses the range a lot. Breaks wide on Beverly.
• 38:34
  Beverly gives him no angle but he feeds in front to McMillan.
• 38:36
  McMillan cannot get the shot off.
• 38:38
  Miller and McMillan is dumped down the play.
• 38:40
  Butler tries to pick up by Park.
• 38:42
  But on the rebound it's played by Urban at the far side.
• 38:45
  Howitt's had a great opportunity.
• 38:47
  A lead for Stankowski across the out of the line.
• 38:49
  Back for Urban. It's too deep.
• 38:51
  And it's picked up by Nicebrunn.
• 38:53
  As we go back the other way. Nicebrunn to center.
• 38:55
  Nicebrunn to the range of line.
• 38:57
  Feet on the left for McMillan.
• 38:59
  McGillan breaks wide. Feeds in front.
• 39:01
  Tended for Nicebrunn but he's bumped off the play.
• 39:03
  And Beverly picks up for those puck.
• 39:05
  Beverly rolls it out of the zone to Butler.
• 39:07
  Butler a lead now for Urban.
• 39:09
  Urban across the red line. Here's a slap.
• 39:11
  He keeps it out of the zone.
• 39:13
  Pick up by Centermere-Burn.
• 39:15
  Born from the head of Steve.
• 39:17
  Checked off by Leach Gillies.
• 39:19
  He overskates up the other way.
• 39:21
  Here's Kachuk picking up the loose puck.
• 39:23
  Kachuk cuts to the out of the line.
• 39:25
  But Sanderson a drop for Sanderson.
• 39:27
  What a save made down low by Resch.
• 39:29
  And he holds on with Resch here in front.
• 39:31
  Resch. Hey, Mom, that was...
• 39:33
  It's you, Tommy.
• 39:35
  It's catchy.
• 39:37
  Gwen Resch looks sharp here in the first period.
• 39:39
  Good back checking by Billy Fairburn.
• 39:41
  Starting that play.
• 39:43
  Coming back, breaking out.
• 39:45
  Kachuk picking it up and the Rangers going in for that attempt.

• 40:09
  Played by Marshall of the Adidas.

  Ahead now for Harris. Bumped hard.
• 40:13
  By Marat who's all over the ice.

• 40:27
  A minute and a half remaining in this first period.
• 40:29
  No score. Now Marshall
• 40:31
  rides it around for Lewis.
• 40:33
  Lewis looks to clear out of the zone and he does.
• 40:35
  Kachuk is there once again.
• 40:37
  Kachuk spins back to his blue line. Flips down to Greshman.
• 40:39
  Greshman cross-sides to the
• 40:41
  left defense to Marat. Here's Marat
• 40:43
  up to center. Stickhandles down to the out of the
• 40:45
  line. He cuts to the right side. Banks it off
• 40:47
  the board. Huck loose in the corner.
• 40:49
  And Lewis of the Adidas clears it back out to
• 40:51
  center ice. Kachuk slams it back in.
• 40:53
  But the Rangers ahead of the play.
• 40:55
  And offside. A minute and a half remaining
• 40:57
  in this first period.
• 40:59
  Rangers and Adidas scoreless
• 41:01
  in game one of their best two of three
• 41:03
  opening round playoff series.
• 41:05
  Chicago leading Boston.
• 41:07
  Change that around.
• 41:09
  Boston leading Chicago. Six-nothing
• 41:11
  in the second period. Boston six.
• 41:13
  Chicago nothing. Second period. St. Louis
• 41:15
  two. Pittsburgh nothing in the second.
• 41:17
  And Toronto and LA in a later
• 41:19
  start.
• 41:21
  Islander shoot all the way down.
• 41:23
  Doubly backboard behind his net. Banks
• 41:25
  it off the board. Kilbeck cannot control
• 41:27
  the tilt. Does boost to center with a minute remaining
• 41:29
  in the period. Here's Patel now breaking it across
• 41:31
  the line. Puts on the brakes. He's turned
• 41:33
  around by a fart. But work free by
• 41:35
  Joe Baer slides it to center.
• 41:37
  And has to chase it down by himself.
• 41:39
  Now goes cross-sides to Beverly. Beverly ahead
• 41:41
  to Vickers at the far side. Leads Patel across
• 41:43
  the outer line. Back past Joe Baer.
• 41:45
  He shoots. Deflected in the crowd.
• 41:47
  Back behind the net off the stick of
• 41:49
  Parisi.
• 41:51
  And we've got a cross-side.
• 41:53
  At the point of our first shot
• 41:55
  for twenty seconds.
• 41:57
  Remaining in the first period.
• 41:59
  Following this
• 42:01
  first period, we'll be talking with
• 42:03
  Ranger, Indruz, Defendant, Dale
• 42:05
  Rolk. Westball and
• 42:07
  Rutel on the face. Midway between the
• 42:09
  Islander draw line and blue line.
• 42:11
  On the draw, Westball controls
• 42:13
  Westball stick handles to center. Looses on
• 42:15
  the foot check to Vickers. Over to Park.
• 42:17
  Park down to the outer line. A lead for Joe Baer.
• 42:19
  He's ahead of the play.
• 42:21
  Kelly with the puck. Kelly ahead for
• 42:23
  Arneson. Into the face off now.
• 42:25
  Right on. Rebound.
• 42:27
  Joe Baer.
• 42:29
  This season. As we look
• 42:31
  back on it, Joe Baer coming
• 42:33
  up with ninety points. Ninety-seven points.
• 42:35
  Rutel with ninety-one. You can see when we jump down
• 42:37
  he's the puck. He's got Joe Baer right behind him.
• 42:39
  That drop pass worked off with a cut drop
• 42:41
  at this short pass.
• 42:43
  On the face now, Park shoots in across the
• 42:45
  Islander blue line.
• 42:47
  He's in the face.
• 42:49
  He's out of the front.
• 42:51
  He's off the line.
• 42:53
  Across the Ranger go line.
• 42:55
  A touch by Nick Beverly and we get a whistle
• 42:57
  for Isaac.
• 42:59
  And bring it back with thirteen seconds.
• 43:01
  Remaining in the first
• 43:03
  period. The face off.
• 43:05
  Circle to the left side of
• 43:07
  the out of the goal tender Glenn Rush.
• 43:09
  Rangers stay with
• 43:11
  Rutel as the center for Joe Baer and
• 43:13
  Vickers, Beverly and Park
• 43:15
  are back and now Greschner steps on
• 43:17
  replacing Beverly.
• 43:19
  So Park moves to the
• 43:21
  left defense. Greschner on the right side now.
• 43:23
  It'll be Westall against
• 43:25
  Rutel.
• 43:27
  Lionsman Leon Stickle
• 43:29
  leans in from center. It's been turned by Joe Baer.
• 43:31
  We get a whistle.
• 43:33
  Stickle saying Rutel
• 43:35
  is in the gap.
• 43:37
  Either that mob or
• 43:39
  I think he jumped the cut off.
• 43:41
  Parise is going over to talk to Harris right now.
• 43:43
  And Drew and Drew are coming out quicker. Face off was perfect
• 43:45
  right out to Joe Baer.
• 43:47
  On the face same spot comes to Joe Baer. Back pass
• 43:49
  to the porch. That's safe made.
• 43:51
  By Rush and he holds on.
• 43:53
  Well by Rush cutting off the screen
• 43:55
  of Pickers.
• 43:57
  And here's it is waiting from the net. He had the position
• 43:59
  to shot to the glove side. Steve
• 44:01
  on the stick side.
• 44:03
  Put out his stick right there.
• 44:05
  And worried about that stick.
• 44:07
  On the face comes to Joe Baer. Fans on the shot
• 44:09
  on the slot. Picked off by Drew and he's up
• 44:11
  to center. Goes over the slap. Jumping glove
• 44:13
  save made by Chalkiner.
• 44:15
  And he twists it around the ball. Drew unable to
• 44:17
  hold on at the buzzer. That's the end.
• 44:19
  Of the first
• 44:21
  period. A well played
• 44:23
  first period of hockey. The score
• 44:25
  after one. The New
• 44:27
  York Rangers won.
• 44:29
  The New York Rangers nothing. And the
• 44:31
  New York title does nothing.
• 44:33
  Alka-Seltzer

  Sal will be talking with Del Rolfe of the New York Rangers.
• 48:04
  In just a moment, right here, let's pause for this,
• 48:07
  from Schaeffer.
• 48:07
  ["Shaper is a One Beer to Have"]
• 48:10
  Schaeffer is a one beer to have.
• 48:15
  Now here's a word from the number one beer in New York.
• 48:21
  Hey Schaeffer, here's a one beer to have
• 48:25
  when you're having more than one.
• 48:29
  New York is full of landmarks.
• 48:31
  Battery, Washington Square, Shea Stadium,
• 48:34
  and over on Kent Avenue in Brooklyn,
• 48:35
  there's another landmark, the Schaeffer Brewery.
• 48:38
  Since 1842, there's always been a Schaeffer Brewery
• 48:41
  in New York.
• 48:42
  Because New York has always liked Schaeffer's way,
• 48:45
  tasting first beer hood, beer after beer, year after year.
• 48:49
  Schaeffer's a beer born and brewed right here in New York.
• 48:52
  It's New York's number one beer.
• 48:54
  ["Shaper is a One Beer to Have"]
• 49:08
  The F&M Schaeffer Brewing Company, New York, New York.
• 49:12
  Where between periods one and two at Madison Square Garden,
• 49:15
  Rangers at out of this meeting and game,
• 49:16
  where the best of three playoff series,
• 49:20
  Rangers and Out of This are students at the end of one.
• 49:24
  And let's do the sound.
• 49:26
  Thank you, Marvin.
• 49:27
  My guests, all between the first and second part,
• 49:29
  Rangers, the freshman, Darrell Alford,
• 49:31
  and I'm the fan of the pregame show, Darrell.
• 49:35
  Everybody around here just rushing in the mover
• 49:37
  and come up those steps.
• 49:38
  And there's only about five or six steps,
• 49:39
  but you have the clutches,
• 49:42
  an injury that I'm sure all these fans remember.
• 49:45
  One of the most serious ones that I've ever seen
• 49:47
  looking from the stands or down on the ice,
• 49:50
  your foot was at a complete right angle from your leg.
• 49:54
  And we knew then right at that moment,
• 49:57
  you had a broken ankle.
• 49:58
  A broken ankle and the expression on your face,
• 50:02
  I have to say that was the most painful injury
• 50:03
  you've ever received playing hockey.
• 50:05
  Yes, it was, Sal.
• 50:09
  As far as describing the pain, it was,
• 50:11
  well, you can't describe it.
• 50:13
  It was just, it was unbearable.
• 50:15
  And as far as the accident, it was a very freakish thing.
• 50:19
  I've never seen it before.
• 50:20
  I hope I never see it again.
• 50:22
  I don't know if I hit something on the ice.
• 50:24
  I would have to assume the ice gave
• 50:25
  or I hit a crack in the ice.
• 50:28
  And I just hit the boards full speed
• 50:30
  or pretty well full speed.
• 50:31
  And as I hit it, I felt the ankle go.
• 50:35
  I heard the snap, could feel it all through my body.
• 50:37
  And it was just one of those things.
• 50:40
  That's a terrible thing,
• 50:41
  but I think it could be avoided.
• 50:44
  You fall into the, you do, you've many times, I know,
• 50:47
  of skating, maybe not at full speed.
• 50:49
  That time you were really going full kilter.
• 50:51
  You had made the turn completely around the net
• 50:53
  from the left side of the ice around, behind the net,
• 50:56
  going up the right side of the ice, of course,
• 50:57
  as you were going into the offensive zone,
• 50:59
  but you were coming back out.
• 51:01
  And you've gone into the boards many times before.
• 51:03
  And I think you have a certain reaction
• 51:05
  that you would do when you're prepared for it,
• 51:07
  a certain way to go into the boards
• 51:09
  in a situation like that.
• 51:10
  I don't think you had the time to prepare for that one.
• 51:12
  No, I didn't, Sal.
• 51:13
  It happened so quick.
• 51:15
  Usually you can feel yourself going
• 51:17
  and you can react a little bit.
• 51:18
  You know, they're kind of break the fall a little bit
• 51:21
  or as you hit the boards, you're coming back up.
• 51:24
  But this happened so quick.
• 51:25
  I hit the boards full force.
• 51:26
  And like I said before, the ankle snapped.
• 51:29
  I could feel it go.
• 51:31
  I heard it go.
• 51:32
  And when I finally got my senses more or less
• 51:37
  when I was lying on the ice,
• 51:39
  I could see the foot was at one angle
• 51:41
  and the leg was at the complete opposite angle.
• 51:44
  And then I knew, well, actually I knew before it happened
• 51:48
  that it was a very serious thing.
• 51:50
  Now, you yourself have had examinations again.
• 51:55
  What actually happened as far as that?
• 51:57
  What is the medical report right up to this moment?
• 52:01
  Well, yesterday I had the cast taken off.
• 52:04
  The medical report is the break.
• 52:07
  Like I broke the bone in my leg.
• 52:08
  My leg was broken also.
• 52:10
  It is not healed.
• 52:11
  Where the bone come through the ankle,
• 52:14
  it's not healed completely yet.
• 52:16
  So it'll just be a matter of time.
• 52:19
  And I'm getting a brace fitted.
• 52:20
  It's like a polio brace.
• 52:21
  You get an Oxford shoe and you
• 52:25
  you rivet the brace through the shoe.
• 52:27
  So the ankle will not go either way.
• 52:30
  Twist.
• 52:32
  It'll just be a matter of a month or two months
• 52:34
  or whatever until the ankle gets strong.
• 52:36
  If it's gonna heal right,
• 52:37
  then the break in the leg heals right.
• 52:39
  Plus there was another crack in the other side of the bone
• 52:42
  of the leg bone.
• 52:44
  It's just a combination of a lot of things
• 52:46
  and a lot of time.
• 52:47
  And I just hope God willing everything's fine.
• 52:51
  We certainly hope so.
• 52:53
  We hope to see you Dale skating again.
• 52:55
  That's for sure.
• 52:56
  Next training camp.
• 52:57
  Dale getting into the hockey game.
• 52:59
  Islanders and Rangers.
• 53:01
  That first period I saw it as a couple of gambles
• 53:05
  that I noticed a couple of the defensemen taking
• 53:08
  a couple of the forwards even taking them.
• 53:10
  But Dale yourself, I don't think,
• 53:11
  well you may have played in the two out of three series
• 53:14
  say in the American league.
• 53:15
  I know National Hockey League hasn't seen
• 53:17
  a two out of three series since the early forties.
• 53:20
  Do you think this puts a greater amount
• 53:22
  of pressure on the players?
• 53:23
  No, I don't think so.
• 53:24
  As far as pressure goes in the playoffs,
• 53:27
  speaking personally to myself,
• 53:30
  I just love playoffs.
• 53:31
  I always seem to play my best hockey in playoffs.
• 53:35
  I enjoy playoffs.
• 53:36
  Whether it's the money or what,
• 53:39
  because we all love money or the pride,
• 53:41
  the prestige or what, I don't know.
• 53:43
  But as far as pressure,
• 53:45
  I don't think there is that much pressure.
• 53:47
  You know, unless, I don't know, maybe I'm different.
• 53:50
  I've talked to myself a lot.
• 53:53
  Which maybe.
• 53:54
  Now you get rid of it.
• 53:55
  Yeah right, I don't know.
• 53:56
  What do you say?
• 53:57
  I ask myself a lot of questions.
• 53:59
  Oh, how about this guy?
• 54:01
  How come this guy's doing this to me?
• 54:03
  This guy's taking money out of my pocket, why?
• 54:05
  You know, and then over the season,
• 54:08
  you know, he asks himself a few questions,
• 54:10
  but during the playoffs,
• 54:11
  he really asks himself a lot of questions
• 54:14
  and why is this happening and why let's make this happen.
• 54:18
  And I think if you really talk to yourself,
• 54:20
  there's no pressure.
• 54:22
  I have to think about that one, you know.
• 54:24
  When I do it at the other pressure situations outside
• 54:26
  of ice, I have to think about that one.
• 54:27
  I'll talk to myself for a little bit.
• 54:29
  You know, another thing, this series ranges Islanders.
• 54:33
  My point of view, Islanders are new clubs.
• 54:35
  Third year in the league, they made their playoffs.
• 54:37
  Ranges the established club and of course,
• 54:40
  getting a lot of flack from the fans in the past
• 54:42
  in nine years, no Stanley Cup,
• 54:43
  nine straight years in the playoff.
• 54:45
  Do you think that is an advantage
• 54:47
  to the Islanders coming in here?
• 54:48
  Well, the Islanders lose well, they're a new club.
• 54:50
  They expect it to lose, but if the Rangers should lose,
• 54:52
  a lot more can be said.
• 54:55
  Well, that's very true.
• 54:56
  As far as losing the Islanders, I don't think we will,
• 55:00
  but if they happen to beat us,
• 55:01
  it's a very good pat on the back for them.
• 55:04
  But like I said, I don't think they're going to beat us.
• 55:07
  And people expect a lot from us
• 55:09
  because we're an established club.
• 55:11
  We have the depth, we have the goal-tenning,
• 55:13
  we've got everything.
• 55:14
  So, but we never win that seventh game.
• 55:17
  So who knows?
• 55:19
  Well, the seventh game, a one goal decision last year,
• 55:22
  it wasn't the finals, it was the semifinals.
• 55:25
  And that's such a fine line when you really get down
• 55:28
  and what people say, well, you lost four out of seven.
• 55:30
  And I'm not saying this as an alibi,
• 55:32
  but when you go out on the ice and one team's going to win
• 55:35
  and one team's going to lose,
• 55:36
  this business of choke, to me, you telling yourself
• 55:40
  to get rid of the pressure by, as you say,
• 55:42
  talking to yourself.
• 55:43
  I think the term choke is way out the window.
• 55:46
  When you have a game, you could,
• 55:49
  one particular instance, maybe you,
• 55:50
  you're not thinking about making a mistake
• 55:53
  while you're out there, that's for sure.
• 55:54
  No, definitely not.
• 55:56
  These people that, and there's a minority
• 55:59
  that says we're choking,
• 56:00
  we're choking, I don't think you could really call them
• 56:04
  true fans or whatever, whoever's saying it.
• 56:09
  Well, I was referring to the general term choke,
• 56:13
  not only to the Rangers point of view,
• 56:15
  but for any point of view, any player out on the ice
• 56:17
  in a fast game such as hockey,
• 56:18
  you don't have the time to think of it.
• 56:20
  That's true, you know, it's a very fast game.
• 56:22
  You're out there, you're doing your best, you want to win.
• 56:25
  You know, you think to yourself, you have to win.
• 56:27
  And if you lose in the seventh game of a quarterfinal
• 56:31
  or a semi-final or the finals,
• 56:33
  I think you can walk out of any building in the world
• 56:36
  with your head high and say, I've done my best.
• 56:38
  You know, I always think as long as you can look in the mirror
• 56:42
  and talk to yourself and ask yourself,
• 56:44
  look at your family and yourself in the mirror
• 56:47
  and the public, as you're walking out of the rink,
• 56:50
  they say, way to go, or you play the rotten or whatever,
• 56:54
  it's up to themselves.
• 56:55
  But if you can walk out with your head held high,
• 56:57
  I think you've done a hell of a job.
• 56:59
  Yeah, you're talking to yourself again.
• 57:00
  Are you going to use that?
• 57:02
  I'm a little excited for that, too.
• 57:04
  What do you see here in this series?
• 57:06
  We played one through a pretty tight checking period.
• 57:08
  Yeah, it was kind of a nothing period.
• 57:11
  They were kind of feeling each other out,
• 57:13
  which, you know, it's just a figure of speech.
• 57:17
  But I think you'll see the Rangers start to open up
• 57:20
  a little bit, put a little pressure on them,
• 57:22
  just see what these guys can take,
• 57:23
  you know, in the playoff situation.
• 57:26
  Dale, go tending to me the biggest part of a short series.
• 57:30
  We always say that about a seven game series.
• 57:32
  I'm sure you players think of it the same way.
• 57:34
  What do you see here?
• 57:36
  Well, I see we have Eddie Dockman and Jill Villamere,
• 57:39
  Don Wilson.
• 57:41
  We have a very, very good go tending system on our club.
• 57:49
  I think we've got the age and experience and ability.
• 57:53
  The Islanders are a young club.
• 57:55
  They're good skating.
• 57:56
  They forecheck well.
• 57:58
  They've got one good goaltender.
• 58:01
  The other guy, who knows?
• 58:03
  I'm going to put you on a limb.
• 58:04
  Which one is the good one?
• 58:05
  I have a fellow playing tonight.
• 58:07
  All right.
• 58:07
  In my opinion, which means that I just wanted to know.
• 58:11
  You said they had one good goaltender.
• 58:12
  I wanted your opinion on it.
• 58:14
  Right.
• 58:14
  Well, this guy Smith, he gets beats and long shots
• 58:17
  once in a while.
• 58:17
  But so do ours once in a while.
• 58:19
  So who knows?
• 58:21
  Dale Ralph, really we wish you the best of luck in recuperating
• 58:26
  and taking care of the injury.
• 58:28
  Thanks for coming up.
• 58:29
  I mean, we thank you for coming up.
• 58:31
  You really had a fun getting up here.
• 58:33
  Thank you very much.
• 58:34
  My pleasure.
• 58:34
  Marvellous.
• 58:36
  All right, Sal and Paul, Dale Ralph,
• 58:37
  we have a Sony AM FM digital clock radio
• 58:40
  with push button controls and automatic sleep time.
• 58:43
  And the Sony also has illuminated
• 58:46
  easy to read clock numerals and a big three inch speaker.
• 58:49
  Not just a radio.
• 58:51
  It's a Sony.
• 58:52
  We'll be back to tell you number two right after this message.
• 59:00
  Alka Seltzer brings you a message from the old one too.
• 59:05
  So you're in the car.
• 59:06
  103.
• 59:07
  There are devil carries in the wheel.
• 59:08
  Just close your eyes.
• 59:10
  Try to get those lumpy pancakes in your stomach.
• 59:13
  So be right there with the old one too.
• 59:16
  Alka Seltzer, let's get out of here.
• 59:19
  For aches and pains with upset stomach,
• 59:21
  use Alka Seltzer with specially buffered astro plus
• 59:23
  and astro.
• 59:24
  Use only as directed.
• 59:25
  It gives the old one too, the old one too.
• 59:28
  Marv Albert with Sal Messina from Madison Square Garden
• 59:31
  in New York.
• 59:34
  As we get set for the start of play in the second period,
• 59:37
  Rangers and Islanders are nothing and nothing.
• 59:40
  A halftime score now from Houston.
• 59:41
  The Rockets leading the next 40-year-old team.
• 59:44
  Houston, the Rockets leading the next 46 to 39.
• 59:48
  That's a half Rockets 46, next 39.
• 59:51
  Marv, have you ever been under a pressure situation?
• 59:53
  Dale Ralph came up with a tremendous statement.
• 59:55
  He talks to himself.
• 59:57
  I had great fun with Dale in between periods about that.
• 1:00:00
  Him talking to himself in precious situations
• 1:00:03
  or even after a game.
• 1:00:04
  He enjoys talking to himself.
• 1:00:06
  I feel a great deal of pressure just being with you, Sal.
• 1:00:10
  Beautiful.
• 1:00:11
  I led myself right into that.
• 1:00:13
  I'm just constantly talking to myself.
• 1:00:15
  There's the first save for him right here in the second.
• 1:00:20
  Sal, just kidding.
• 1:00:22
  Sal's trying.
• 1:00:23
  Ratel up to center.
• 1:00:24
  Ratel around the front.
• 1:00:25
  Looses control.
• 1:00:26
  Taken by Gilbert.
• 1:00:27
  Shoots to the out of the line.
• 1:00:28
  Dennis Putlin takes.
• 1:00:29
  Looses on a stick check.
• 1:00:30
  Recovered by Gilbert.
• 1:00:31
  He's hit across the out of the line.
• 1:00:33
  He cuts to the left side.
• 1:00:35
  He makes the turn.
• 1:00:36
  Cross-ice and ten at the front.
• 1:00:37
  Broken up by Drew, but stick checked away.
• 1:00:39
  Heart takes.
• 1:00:40
  Bangs it off the boards.
• 1:00:41
  At center, Beverly comes up with it.
• 1:00:43
  Pull the Rangers and dumps it in.
• 1:00:45
  It's to the right side of the islander net.
• 1:00:47
  Montvin is back forward.
• 1:00:48
  Sends to Drew at center.
• 1:00:50
  Now Drew on wheels.
• 1:00:51
  Leads Westfall, but is knocked away.
• 1:00:53
  Picked off by Chockeman.
• 1:00:55
  Chockeman clears to the far side.
• 1:00:57
  Taken by Parisio.
• 1:00:58
  Dumps it in front.
• 1:00:59
  Chockeman steers it to Beverly.
• 1:01:01
  And Beverly starts up.
• 1:01:02
  Beverly ahead now for Gilbert.
• 1:01:03
  At center with Ratel.
• 1:01:04
  Leads with Delta.
• 1:01:05
  Takes it to the end.
• 1:01:06
  Cross to the right.
• 1:01:07
  Back to the belly.
• 1:01:08
  Shoot.
• 1:01:09
  It goes wide.
• 1:01:10
  Strange between Ratel and Gilbert.
• 1:01:12
  The front is pinned at the near corner.
• 1:01:15
  We get a whistle with the net behind Glenn Rush.
• 1:01:20
  Knock off its hinges.
• 1:01:22
  And the Lionsman straightened out.
• 1:01:25
  And a face off upcoming now in the islander ice.
• 1:01:27
  It's Bush defending to our left.
• 1:01:29
  Chockeman to our right.
• 1:01:31
  Rangers stand right to left in the second period.
• 1:01:34
  And the islanders from left to right.
• 1:01:36
  Face off.
• 1:01:37
  Upcoming with Stamkowski to go.
• 1:01:41
  And this go against Saint Laurent.
• 1:01:42
  Both clubs make line changes now.
• 1:01:45
  Stem of the center.
• 1:01:46
  Middleton on the right.
• 1:01:47
  Irvin left.
• 1:01:48
  Moran and Greshner are back.
• 1:01:52
  Here's the face sent to the near boards.
• 1:01:55
  Controlled by Saint Laurent of the islanders.
• 1:01:57
  Shoots it ahead and tethered from Iceberg on the right wing.
• 1:01:59
  Patted the other way by Greshner to the stick of Irvin.
• 1:02:01
  Irvin across the islander blue line.
• 1:02:03
  Looses control.
• 1:02:04
  Lewis shoots it out of the zone to Iceberg.
• 1:02:05
  A leap for Saint Laurent just off the mark.
• 1:02:08
  And carries all the way down across the goal line of the Rangers.
• 1:02:11
  Greshner backboard.
• 1:02:12
  Greshner in traffic.
• 1:02:14
  Wides it past Howard to Irvin at the near side.
• 1:02:16
  Plaster clear.
• 1:02:17
  Cannot kept in by Marshall.
• 1:02:18
  Close to the corner to Saint Laurent.
• 1:02:19
  Flips in front but it's off the ice.
• 1:02:21
  Howard could not control Middleton though.
• 1:02:23
  Ahead it goes to Stamkowski at center.
• 1:02:25
  Drop for Middleton.
• 1:02:26
  And across the islander line.
• 1:02:27
  He's spun around.
• 1:02:28
  Cannot get the shot off.
• 1:02:30
  And Howard takes the most punch.
• 1:02:31
  He's to center.
• 1:02:32
  He's up to the Ranger line.
• 1:02:34
  He goes in with a shot.
• 1:02:35
  Save made off the left pads of Chalkam and closing up the short side.
• 1:02:39
  And Greshner takes it back.
• 1:02:40
  Now Greshner out of the zone.
• 1:02:42
  A leap for Middleton.
• 1:02:43
  His wide left side of Rickett center.
• 1:02:46
  Carries all the way down deep and out of the ice.
• 1:02:48
  Backboard is Marshall.
• 1:02:49
  Sends behind the net to his defense partner Lewis.
• 1:02:51
  Wides it around.
• 1:02:52
  Now for Meisgram.
• 1:02:53
  Takes a check up high from Irvin.
• 1:02:54
  These two continue to go at each other.
• 1:02:56
  But Meisgram clears it out of the zone.
• 1:02:58
  Saint Laurent at center.
• 1:02:59
  Now to the Ranger line.
• 1:03:00
  Takes the slap on the run.
• 1:03:01
  Feeds to Meisgram.
• 1:03:02
  Meisgram cuts in.
• 1:03:03
  It goes across and it's after Boonson Lewis for a point of shot.
• 1:03:05
  It is snicked aside by Chalkam.
• 1:03:07
  Irvin up with it up the near side.
• 1:03:09
  Hard check by Saint Laurent.
• 1:03:10
  As he comes it out of center to Smefkowski.
• 1:03:12
  He crosses the honor line.
• 1:03:13
  He comes to the right side.
• 1:03:15
  He flips it in front.
• 1:03:16
  And it's knocked away by Meisgram.
• 1:03:18
  Here's Meisgram out of the zone with Saint Laurent to his left.
• 1:03:21
  Meisgram up across the Ranger line.
• 1:03:23
  Back past Saint Laurent.
• 1:03:24
  A shot wide.
• 1:03:25
  Rebound is kicked aside.
• 1:03:26
  A quick save by Chalkam.
• 1:03:27
  Howard in front.
• 1:03:28
  Stopped by Chalkam.
• 1:03:29
  Putt kept in by the honors.
• 1:03:31
  Puttman goes in and drives.
• 1:03:32
  It's snipped by Chalkam in.
• 1:03:34
  It looked to the end.
• 1:03:36
  Chalkam in able to make the save with his glove.
• 1:03:38
  It popped in the air and it's cleared all the way down.
• 1:03:40
  And the hat is for Eddie Chalkam in.
• 1:03:43
  Now Howard up to center as the Rangers clear out.
• 1:03:46
  Pass on the right for Bourne off the way.
• 1:03:48
  Taken by Kachuk.
• 1:03:49
  Kachuk spinning back towards his blue line.
• 1:03:51
  Back past the left of the right.
• 1:03:53
  Sensational goal counting here in the second period by Ed Chalkam in.
• 1:03:56
  Now Kachuk spinning to the out of the line.
• 1:03:59
  Lee Sanderson he cannot control but slides away in front and coming up by a rim.
• 1:04:04
  Dennis Potman still doesn't believe that wasn't in.
• 1:04:07
  He thinks that went up and hit the miss behind Chalkam when it bounced out.
• 1:04:10
  I'll tell you, Mob, so do I.
• 1:04:12
  I think it went in and came out again.
• 1:04:14
  Referee Wally Harris straddling the goal line.
• 1:04:18
  Waved it off right away.
• 1:04:20
  The goal judge, a neutral official from Philadelphia as are all the game officials here.
• 1:04:25
  Did not turn on the light.
• 1:04:26
  Again, we're at an angle.
• 1:04:27
  I just thought I thought I saw it caught the catch the top part of the net.
• 1:04:31
  Maybe Chalkam did get a glove on it.
• 1:04:33
  I was about to give it the score call.
• 1:04:36
  I hesitated.
• 1:04:37
  It appears to be in and out.
• 1:04:38
  But of course from this angle it is absolutely impossible.
• 1:04:41
  Potman waited before he started to argue.
• 1:04:44
  Waited for the stoppage and play.

  Face off coming up deep in islander ice.

  Remaining second period.

  Marv Albert with Sal Massina from Madison Square Garden in New York.

  Confirmed by the islander fan.
• 1:06:07
  Moves back behind the net.
• 1:06:08
  Takes a check from Sanderson.
• 1:06:10
  Then whips it out of the zone.
• 1:06:12
  And it bangs off the boards at center.
• 1:06:13
  Carries left side of Chalkham.
• 1:06:15
  And he comes out to clear it around the board.
• 1:06:17
  Laid up the near side by Kachuk.
• 1:06:19
  Kachuk throws it out of center.
• 1:06:20
  Sanderson cannot get to it.
• 1:06:21
  Hart does.
• 1:06:22
  Full the islanders.
• 1:06:23
  Pass on the right defense for Potman.
• 1:06:25
  Surrounded by Rangers.
• 1:06:26
  Sanderson knocks it away.
• 1:06:27
  But Potman takes back.
• 1:06:29
  And then jumps it in.
• 1:06:30
  It carries all the way down across the Rangers goal line.

  Bevel it back.
• 1:06:34
  Whips it around the boards for Faber.

  Three-oniters back.
• 1:06:39
  Faber across the islander.
• 1:06:40
  And it's saved, man.
• 1:06:41
  And coming up by Resch.
• 1:06:42
  Stopped it with the glove.
• 1:06:44
  And then he's able to pounce on the rebound to stop play.
• 1:06:47
  Well, look at Kachuk trying to stay back, expecting a pass from Billy Faber.
• 1:06:51
  Faber not seeing anybody coming in with him.
• 1:06:54
  Took that shot.
• 1:06:55
  And Nick Beverly coming off the ice right below us.
• 1:06:57
  I think he lost an edge or something.
• 1:06:59
  He fell down as he cleared the path.
• 1:07:00
  Up to Billy Faber.
• 1:07:01
  And on that last rush as the Rangers clear their end on a play that he thought was icing.
• 1:07:08
  Nobody going in on goal.
• 1:07:09
  His Faber shot was not controlled by Resch.
• 1:07:11
  On the face-off, Lewis controls for the islanders.
• 1:07:15
  Wides it around the board.
• 1:07:16
  Backboard is drawn.
• 1:07:17
  Looks to clear.
• 1:07:18
  Cannot.
• 1:07:19
  Rotel keeps in.
• 1:07:20
  To the point Marat.
• 1:07:21
  His slap up high.
• 1:07:22
  Stopped by Resch.
• 1:07:23
  Falling upon by Lewis.
• 1:07:24
  And he ends up sitting on the puck.
• 1:07:26
  And you hear the fan reaction.
• 1:07:28
  They look for a delay of game penalty.
• 1:07:30
  But Lewis was right there where the puck ended up on the rebound after the save from Resch.
• 1:07:36
  And just sat down on it.
• 1:07:37
  Two in a row off Resch.
• 1:07:39
  One from the angle.
• 1:07:40
  One from the point.
• 1:07:41
  Bouncing right out in front.
• 1:07:42
  Rotel and Westfall on the face-off.

  Loose up the circle.

  Chase for the puck.
• 1:07:50
  Picked up by Gruen.
• 1:07:51
  Goes in on one.
• 1:07:52
  Hours for the drop.
• 1:07:53
  Salmon of beauty again.
• 1:07:54
  Made by Chocoman.
• 1:07:55
  Closing out that short side.
• 1:07:56
  Now here's Gilberto out of the zone for the Rangers.
• 1:07:57
  Speed on the left for Vickers.
• 1:07:58
  Flies in across the end of the line.
• 1:07:59
  A drop.
• 1:08:00
  Kick save made.
• 1:08:01
  Bleed by Retell.
• 1:08:02
  Shoots wide.
• 1:08:03
  Now Vickers keeps alive.
• 1:08:04
  Flies for Gruen.
• 1:08:05
  But it's knocked away.
• 1:08:06
  And here come the islanders.
• 1:08:07
  Led by Parisi.
• 1:08:08
  The center.
• 1:08:09
  Up across the Ranger line.
• 1:08:10
  Cross-sides pass between the legs of Gruen.
• 1:08:11
  Picked off by Vickers.
• 1:08:14
  Rangers fly back the other way.
• 1:08:15
  By Retell.
• 1:08:16
  To the out of the line.
• 1:08:17
  He comes from the left side.
• 1:08:18
  He shoots and is blocked by Lewis.
• 1:08:19
  One close to the corner.
• 1:08:20
  And it's taken by Gruen to the out of the.
• 1:08:21
  Spins back behind the step.
• 1:08:22
  And now starts up.
• 1:08:23
  Islanders go from left to right.
• 1:08:24
  Here's Gruen up to center.
• 1:08:25
  Wheeling on Retell.
• 1:08:26
  A pass for Westpaw.
• 1:08:27
  Knocked the side.
• 1:08:28
  Ends up right side of Chocoman.
• 1:08:29
  Gilberto chases it down.
• 1:08:30
  Puts on the stick of Harris.
• 1:08:31
  Now Harris ahead for Retell.
• 1:08:32
  Retell out of the zone.
• 1:08:33
  A back pass for Gilberto.
• 1:08:34
  He bumps it for Harris.
• 1:08:35
  Harris out of the zone.
• 1:08:36
  He comes from the back.
• 1:08:41
  Looses control.
• 1:08:42
  We gains.
• 1:08:43
  Goes up with a shot block.
• 1:08:44
  Loose in front.
• 1:08:45
  Gruen clears.
• 1:08:46
  Comes back to Harris.
• 1:08:47
  A shot.
• 1:08:48
  Fly.
• 1:08:49
  On the rebound.
• 1:08:50
  It carries around.
• 1:08:51
  And out of the zone.
• 1:08:52
  Marat come with it.
• 1:08:53
  The Rangers playoff specialist Ron Harris making his presence felt right here on his first
• 1:08:58
  shift.
• 1:08:59
  Here's Retell out of the out of the line.
• 1:09:00
  Leads Uvin.
• 1:09:01
  Passes to the.
• 1:09:02
  Uvin chases it down.
• 1:09:03
  Centering.
• 1:09:04
  No one there.
• 1:09:05
  Breschner with a high drive.
• 1:09:06
  What's saved by Resch who holds on with Uvin in front of the net.
• 1:09:07
  And the Rangers putting intense pressure on goalkeeper Glenn Resch.
• 1:09:08
  Unbelievable Ron Harris on the bench throughout.
• 1:09:09
  Gets a chance to get on the ice because Nick Beverly has something wrong with his skate.
• 1:09:10
  And he almost set up two Ranger goals.
• 1:09:11
  Also with a shot from about 40 feet out to the left of Resch.
• 1:09:12
  Just missed the corner.
• 1:09:13
  The puck got back to shot so hard.
• 1:09:14
  It carried him away and out of the Islander zone.
• 1:09:15
  Rangers are in the lead.
• 1:09:16
  They're in the lead.
• 1:09:17
  They're in the lead.
• 1:09:18
  They're in the lead.
• 1:09:19
  They're in the lead.
• 1:09:20
  They're in the lead.
• 1:09:21
  They're in the lead.
• 1:09:22
  They're in the lead.

  They're in the lead.

  They're in the lead.

  They're in the lead.
• 1:11:07
  They're in the lead.
• 1:11:26
  They're in the lead.
• 1:11:41
  They're in the lead.
• 1:11:56
  They're in the lead.
• 1:12:11
  They're in the lead.
• 1:12:36
  at three three Toronto and LA will start later
• 1:12:40
  on the face off Islanders control,
• 1:12:42
  Gillies taps it out of the zone,
• 1:12:44
  played it center by Harris,
• 1:12:46
  loses control,
• 1:12:46
  Ralph Stewart out for the first time,
• 1:12:48
  knocks it aside,
• 1:12:49
  but Ron Harris recovers and shoots in.
• 1:12:51
  Right side of the island of that,
• 1:12:52
  Billy Harris there for the Islanders,
• 1:12:54
  winds it around for Lewis,
• 1:12:55
  fires one out to center for Stewart,
• 1:12:57
  one man back,
• 1:12:58
  Marat Stewart to the range of eye,
• 1:12:59
  goes on the shot blocked by Marat,
• 1:13:00
  gets to Lewis,
• 1:13:01
  Stewart is dumped by Marat,
• 1:13:03
  but picked up by Gillies,
• 1:13:04
  looks to set up,
• 1:13:05
  passed intercepted by Sanderson,
• 1:13:07
  ahead Kachuk with Fairburn right,
• 1:13:09
  east of the out of the blue line,
• 1:13:10
  now back past the Fairburn,
• 1:13:11
  snicked away by Gillies,
• 1:13:13
  Fairburn hangs in,
• 1:13:14
  loses control as he takes a check from Stewart,
• 1:13:16
  and Lewis comes up with it,
• 1:13:17
  Lewis up to center,
• 1:13:18
  Lewis then throws one in a bouncer
• 1:13:20
  that is one hopped by Chalkman to the left side,
• 1:13:22
  Eddie has been very shocked,
• 1:13:24
  leaves for Kachuk,
• 1:13:24
  and Kachuk spins out of the zone,
• 1:13:26
  right wing feed Fairburn,
• 1:13:27
  Fairburn to center,
• 1:13:28
  Fairburn taking across the out of the line,
• 1:13:30
  Fairburn is tied up by Lewis,
• 1:13:32
  keeps going center,
• 1:13:32
  is knocked away by the out of the defense,
• 1:13:35
  and then Gillies clears it all the way down,
• 1:13:36
  across the ranger,
• 1:13:38
  and Marat back court makes the touch,
• 1:13:40
  and we got the whistle for icing,
• 1:13:42
  no score, 1153 remaining second period.
• 1:13:46
  We're the old one two,
• 1:13:48
  I get you in the head,
• 1:13:51
  and I get you in the stomach,
• 1:13:53
  so enjoy your party,
• 1:13:54
  eat, drink, dance until dawn,
• 1:13:57
  so you'll be late for work,
• 1:13:59
  we'll see you in the morning,
• 1:14:00
  with the old one two.
• 1:14:05
  Alka-Seltzer, let's get out of here.
• 1:14:08
  For aching pains with upset stomach,
• 1:14:10
  try Alka-Seltzer with specially buffered aspirin
• 1:14:12
  plus antacids,
• 1:14:13
  it was only as directed,
• 1:14:14
  it gives the old one two,
• 1:14:15
  the old one two.
• 1:14:17
  Rotella's on now with Vickers and Gilbert,
• 1:14:20
  Park and Beverly are back,
• 1:14:23
  West ball of Rotella on the face,
• 1:14:25
  played by Park at the point,
• 1:14:26
  his shot scores.
• 1:14:27
  Well they went 31 minutes 49 seconds,
• 1:14:42
  and the Reapers have jumped in front
• 1:14:46
  by the score of one nothing.
• 1:14:48
  Steve Vickers was captain too,
• 1:14:50
  and we'll have to wait and see
• 1:14:52
  if he got a piece of it,
• 1:14:53
  and that's for the case
• 1:14:54
  many many times this season,
• 1:14:56
  and he or Dennis Potvin,
• 1:14:58
  Potvin tying up Vickers
• 1:15:00
  to the right of Resch,
• 1:15:01
  it deflected off one of those two
• 1:15:02
  and went in,
• 1:15:03
  at the winning of the face off
• 1:15:04
  by Rotella Gilbert,
• 1:15:05
  hesitated,
• 1:15:06
  it looked like he was going to pick up the puck,
• 1:15:07
  finally he just made way for Park
• 1:15:09
  to take the shot.
• 1:15:11
  Face off at center,
• 1:15:12
  the Rangers have scored,
• 1:15:13
  but all at port,
• 1:15:14
  first goal,
• 1:15:15
  we shall see how it port
• 1:15:17
  as this game progresses.
• 1:15:18
  Rangers shoot in,
• 1:15:19
  left side of Resch,
• 1:15:20
  chased down by Parisi,
• 1:15:21
  winds it around for West ball,
• 1:15:23
  a head turn,
• 1:15:24
  shoot to center,
• 1:15:26
  left side of Jankerman,
• 1:15:27
  Jankerman now steers it
• 1:15:28
  back behind the net,
• 1:15:29
  whipped around the board by Park,
• 1:15:31
  Park keeps it,
• 1:15:32
  takes a check from Jobar,
• 1:15:33
  but Park is back port,
• 1:15:34
  now Park comes to the near boards,
• 1:15:36
  jumps it back the other way from Beveley,
• 1:15:38
  Beveley standing back behind the Ranger goal,
• 1:15:41
  watched by the port checking,
• 1:15:42
  drew it,
• 1:15:43
  now Beveley starts up,
• 1:15:44
  here's Beveley across the Ranger line,
• 1:15:46
  Beveley to center,
• 1:15:47
  shoots in,
• 1:15:48
  right side of Resch,
• 1:15:49
  makes the stick stop,
• 1:15:50
  Jobar after,
• 1:15:51
  Resch swings it around the board,
• 1:15:53
  Parisi in the island is great now,
• 1:15:54
  a pass at center,
• 1:15:55
  knocked away by Ratel,
• 1:15:57
  recovered by Jobar,
• 1:15:58
  makes the turn and across the
• 1:16:00
  island of the line,
• 1:16:01
  slides it in front,
• 1:16:02
  Ratel cannot get to it,
• 1:16:03
  it's covered up by Resch,
• 1:16:04
  he holds on and play a stop.
• 1:16:06
  Steve Vickers
• 1:16:08
  did get a piece of that drive
• 1:16:10
  from the point by Brad Park,
• 1:16:11
  so Vickers,
• 1:16:13
  who had the sensational regular season,
• 1:16:16
  with most of his scoring coming from in front
• 1:16:20
  of the opposition net,
• 1:16:23
  coming up with 41 goals,
• 1:16:24
  48 assists during the course of the regular season,
• 1:16:27
  has come up with goal number one,
• 1:16:29
  right here,
• 1:16:30
  Clark and Ratel pick up the assists,
• 1:16:33
  and the Rangers lead one over another,
• 1:16:34
  face shot by Butler is off the mark,
• 1:16:36
  late behind the net by Lewis,
• 1:16:38
  Lewis starts up,
• 1:16:39
  a lead intended for Howard,
• 1:16:41
  goes too deep all the way down across the
• 1:16:43
  Ranger goal line,
• 1:16:44
  touched by Greschker,
• 1:16:45
  and we got a whistle for Ising,
• 1:16:47
  so they'll bring it back.
• 1:16:48
  The time of the goal by Vickers,
• 1:16:50
  8-11,
• 1:16:51
  face off coming up now,
• 1:16:53
  deep and out of their ice.
• 1:16:54
  That shot by Jerry Butler off the face off,
• 1:16:57
  Stemmer winning the face off,
• 1:16:58
  reminded me of the one Ron Harris put in,
• 1:17:01
  identical play,
• 1:17:02
  Harris beating Bunny LaRock up in Montreal,
• 1:17:05
  last season this time,
• 1:17:06
  Jerry Butler,
• 1:17:07
  Mr. Cage.
• 1:17:08
  Off the face off,
• 1:17:09
  Stemkowski and St. Laurent on the draw,
• 1:17:11
  loose up the circle,
• 1:17:12
  Stemmer for the far card,
• 1:17:14
  in front to Butler,
• 1:17:15
  his drive goes wide,
• 1:17:16
  Butler in front of the net,
• 1:17:17
  and a one-on-one situation,
• 1:17:19
  but Chuck was off the mark,
• 1:17:20
  announced penalty upcoming,
• 1:17:22
  double penalties being called,
• 1:17:24
  Ted Irvin and Dave Lewis,
• 1:17:29
  are both going off,
• 1:17:31
  Wally Harris setting them both off,
• 1:17:35
  they were tangling in front of the net,
• 1:17:38
  as Butler was able to unleash that
• 1:17:40
  shot from in front,
• 1:17:41
  Jerry is very upset with himself.
• 1:17:43
  He's had two golden opportunities,
• 1:17:44
  both within the last minute,
• 1:17:46
  one on a face off as we just explained,
• 1:17:48
  and this one,
• 1:17:49
  Teddy Irvin and Peter Stemkowski,
• 1:17:51
  getting that fuck out the butler,
• 1:17:52
  who was all alone in front of Resch,
• 1:17:54
  Resch may have had enough time to just cut
• 1:17:56
  that angle down on him on.
• 1:17:57
  Number 25, the island,
• 1:17:59
  Dave Lewis,
• 1:18:03
  Dave Lewis and Ted Irvin,
• 1:18:05
  two minutes apiece,
• 1:18:06
  Lewis for high sticking,
• 1:18:11
  and Irvin also,
• 1:18:12
  for high sticking,
• 1:18:15
  nine to seven,
• 1:18:17
  time of the penalties,
• 1:18:18
  both clubs down a man right now,
• 1:18:19
  Rangers go with Stemkowski and Butler up front,
• 1:18:21
  Greshner on the runner,
• 1:18:22
  back on the face off,
• 1:18:23
  Greshner controls,
• 1:18:25
  comes back to his blue line,
• 1:18:26
  ahead now from the right,
• 1:18:27
  the right,
• 1:18:29
  gives off to Stemkowski,
• 1:18:30
  Stem at the center, shoots in,
• 1:18:32
  gobbled up by Resch,
• 1:18:33
  nearly had trouble with the bouncer,
• 1:18:35
  and then is able to steer it behind the net.
• 1:18:37
  The out of the start up,
• 1:18:38
  Dennis Putnam shoots it ahead now for Stewart,
• 1:18:40
  Stewart at center,
• 1:18:41
  Stewart up across the range of line,
• 1:18:43
  throws it in the corner,
• 1:18:44
  Stemkowski after it,
• 1:18:45
  and clears out of the zone,
• 1:18:46
  Butler on the right foot center,
• 1:18:48
  Butler now up across the out of the line,
• 1:18:50
  he's tied up by Hart,
• 1:18:51
  back pass,
• 1:18:52
  intercepted by Stewart,
• 1:18:53
  he loots the check of Greshner
• 1:18:54
  as he moves to center,
• 1:18:55
  but he's checked up high by Butler,
• 1:18:57
  Butler took a swing at Stewart,
• 1:19:00
  they glared at each other,
• 1:19:01
  play continues,
• 1:19:02
  Dennis Putnam at center,
• 1:19:04
  Christ the Feeder head knocked away by Kachuk,
• 1:19:06
  Putnam is up with it,
• 1:19:07
  checked by Kachuk,
• 1:19:08
  loses control,
• 1:19:09
  this has not been one of the stronger games thus far
• 1:19:11
  for Dennis Putnam,
• 1:19:13
  you hardly realize he's on the ice,
• 1:19:15
  now the puck is sent deep in the ranger ice,
• 1:19:17
  as McFiddlin and Greshner jam each other
• 1:19:20
  on the board,
• 1:19:21
  Rangers are able to clear out,
• 1:19:22
  here's Kachuk to the out of the line
• 1:19:23
  with a drive that is club saved by Gresh,
• 1:19:25
  undecided then decides to hold on,
• 1:19:28
  drops it to the ice,
• 1:19:30
  we saw that maneuver here on Sunday
• 1:19:33
  at an almost cost,
• 1:19:34
  Glenn Rish this time,
• 1:19:36
  they got the whistle from Willie Harris,
• 1:19:38
  and that will make for a face off
• 1:19:41
  in out of the ice.
• 1:19:43
  Final score in Pittsburgh,
• 1:19:45
  Pittsburgh Penguins four,
• 1:19:46
  St. Louis Blues three,
• 1:19:48
  so the Penguins spotted the Blues
• 1:19:49
  that two nothing lead,
• 1:19:50
  and for that goal scoring power that they have,
• 1:19:54
  were able to come from behind
• 1:19:55
  and win the hockey game.
• 1:19:57
  Boston over Chicago in the third,
• 1:19:59
  eight one,
• 1:20:00
  and Toronto and LA later on,
• 1:20:02
  half time in Houston,
• 1:20:04
  Rockets leading the next 46 to 39,
• 1:20:08
  face off coming up now,
• 1:20:10
  right side of the island of that nine 27,
• 1:20:13
  remaining second period,
• 1:20:15
  Rangers lead one nothing on the goal
• 1:20:16
  by Vickers from Park and Rattell
• 1:20:18
  at eight 11 of the second period,
• 1:20:20
  50 seconds remaining on the double penalties
• 1:20:22
  to Urban and Lewis,
• 1:20:24
  Dennis Potman controls the face,
• 1:20:27
  and starts up,
• 1:20:28
  clicks to the left defense,
• 1:20:29
  the heart spins away from Faber,
• 1:20:32
  and he winds it back to Potman behind the net,
• 1:20:34
  Kachuk all over him,
• 1:20:35
  Potman cuts to his left now right,
• 1:20:38
  splits to start up,
• 1:20:39
  throws it ahead,
• 1:20:39
  intercepted by Park at center,
• 1:20:42
  cross eyes to Ron Harris,
• 1:20:44
  now Harris passed foot up between the legs of Bourne,
• 1:20:46
  but Bourne knocks it aside,
• 1:20:47
  and Hart comes up with it,
• 1:20:49
  a head for Dennis Potman,
• 1:20:50
  sweeps around Kachuk to center,
• 1:20:52
  he's up to the Ranger line,
• 1:20:54
  now looks to start up a leap for Bourne overthrown,
• 1:20:56
  Bourne checked by Ron Harris,
• 1:20:58
  Park lies loose,
• 1:20:59
  Billy Harris takes his slap is wide,
• 1:21:01
  kept in by Dennis Potman at the point,
• 1:21:03
  throws to the corner to Billy Harris,
• 1:21:05
  he moves back behind the Ranger that,
• 1:21:06
  stick handles,
• 1:21:07
  tries to wrap it around,
• 1:21:08
  but it's held up the side of the net by Jokerman,
• 1:21:11
  held it with his right skate,
• 1:21:13
  and play is called,
• 1:21:15
  and that maneuver by Billy Harris almost clicked,
• 1:21:18
  try to wrap around from an impossible angle behind the net,
• 1:21:21
  and Jokerman was able to hold it off with his right skate.
• 1:21:24
  Funny type of play the way that developed,
• 1:21:26
  Mark Dennis Potman had the puck on the right point,
• 1:21:29
  and he was gonna dump it in to the right corner,
• 1:21:31
  up to the left of Jokerman,
• 1:21:32
  he did,
• 1:21:33
  but both Islander players are there,
• 1:21:34
  nobody out in front of the net to throw the puck to,
• 1:21:36
  when Harris picked it up,
• 1:21:38
  Harris had to go to the other side,
• 1:21:39
  Stewart remained in the corner,
• 1:21:41
  not going out in front of the net,
• 1:21:42
  and Harris is more or less,
• 1:21:44
  even though he tried that play,
• 1:21:45
  he had nobody else,
• 1:21:46
  he had to make that play,
• 1:21:47
  had nobody to pass the puck to out in front.
• 1:21:49
  Face off now, right side of the Ranger net,
• 1:21:51
  it'll be drawn,
• 1:21:53
  and Rotel on the draw,
• 1:21:55
  Rotel and Jokerman up front,
• 1:21:56
  Marat Greschner are back,
• 1:21:58
  on the face off,
• 1:21:59
  Rotel is up with it ahead,
• 1:22:00
  it goes for Jokerman, Lewis, and Irvin,
• 1:22:02
  return the lead for Irvin,
• 1:22:03
  breaking has a breakaway cut,
• 1:22:04
  city fake shoots,
• 1:22:05
  saving a beauty by Resch.
• 1:22:07
  Love save by Resch,
• 1:22:08
  stopping Irvin on the breakaway,
• 1:22:10
  as he stepped out of the box.
• 1:22:12
  Now Burt Marshall back behind the net,
• 1:22:14
  Rangers lead at 1-0,
• 1:22:15
  8.15 remaining,
• 1:22:16
  second parry,
• 1:22:17
  pass for Lewis around the boards,
• 1:22:19
  cannot be handled,
• 1:22:20
  slides out to center,
• 1:22:21
  then Greschner backhands it in,
• 1:22:23
  Resch stops it behind the net,
• 1:22:25
  and leads for Marshall,
• 1:22:26
  winds it around for Lewis,
• 1:22:27
  ahead now for Drew,
• 1:22:28
  it moves to center,
• 1:22:29
  ahead for Parisi,
• 1:22:30
  knocked away,
• 1:22:31
  Parisi recovers at the Ranger line,
• 1:22:33
  loses on a poke check,
• 1:22:35
  and it comes to center,
• 1:22:36
  Lewis there,
• 1:22:36
  back pass now for Marshall,
• 1:22:38
  Marshall can't control,
• 1:22:39
  Rattell takes it away,
• 1:22:40
  Rattell up to the outer line with Joe Baer,
• 1:22:43
  a lead for Joe Baer,
• 1:22:44
  Joe Baer cannot get the shot off,
• 1:22:46
  stopped by Marshall,
• 1:22:47
  who whips it back to the near side,
• 1:22:49
  and ends up out of the zone
• 1:22:50
  on the stick of Westmore,
• 1:22:51
  left wing feed for Parisi,
• 1:22:53
  back to Westmore,
• 1:22:54
  across the Ranger line,
• 1:22:55
  intercepted by Greschner,
• 1:22:56
  blows it back behind the Ranger net,
• 1:22:58
  7.5 remaining,
• 1:22:59
  second parry,
• 1:23:00
  Rangers lead 1-0 on the goal by Vickers,
• 1:23:03
  now Greschner starts up,
• 1:23:05
  Greschner moving to his left,
• 1:23:06
  comes off the board,
• 1:23:07
  and it's skipped all the way down ice,
• 1:23:09
  across the outer line,
• 1:23:12
  touch made by Marshall,
• 1:23:14
  and we got a whistle for icing.
• 1:23:16
  Here's a case of no movement,
• 1:23:17
  Vickers standing still at the blue line,
• 1:23:19
  Joe Baer standing still on the other side,
• 1:23:21
  Greschner had made the good defensive play,
• 1:23:23
  got behind the net,
• 1:23:25
  had nobody back to help him out
• 1:23:26
  as he came out with a puck,
• 1:23:27
  so he took the wise way out,
• 1:23:28
  he was gonna make a tough pass along the board,
• 1:23:30
  if it was a deflect on Vickers,
• 1:23:32
  there wouldn't be an icing,
• 1:23:33
  if it doesn't, an icing,
• 1:23:34
  but he was sort of static back there,
• 1:23:36
  had no place to go with the puck.
• 1:23:39
  Face off now,
• 1:23:40
  left side of Ed Jockeman,
• 1:23:42
  that'll be Rattelle against Drewitt,
• 1:23:46
  on the call,
• 1:23:49
  Drewitt in the center,
• 1:23:51
  for Westfall,
• 1:23:53
  and Marisi,
• 1:23:54
  it's sent back behind the Ranger goal line,
• 1:23:56
  Beverly is there,
• 1:23:57
  Beverly spinning on Drewitt,
• 1:23:58
  ahead now for Rattelle,
• 1:24:00
  Rattelle is up in the center,
• 1:24:01
  left wing pass for Vickers,
• 1:24:02
  knocked away,
• 1:24:03
  comes back to center,
• 1:24:04
  Rattelle takes,
• 1:24:05
  Rattelle ahead for Vickers,
• 1:24:06
  and across the out of the line,
• 1:24:07
  as Rattelle is pushed off the puck,
• 1:24:09
  and ends up on the ice,
• 1:24:10
  Drewitt takes it back and shoots in,
• 1:24:12
  a rule that is doubled up by Jockeman,
• 1:24:14
  leaves it for Beverly,
• 1:24:15
  who winds it around the boards,
• 1:24:17
  pass too deep,
• 1:24:18
  Lewis intercepts,
• 1:24:19
  loses on a stick,
• 1:24:20
  check to Rattelle,
• 1:24:21
  ahead now, Joe Baer,
• 1:24:22
  back pass for Beverly,
• 1:24:23
  and the Rangers start up,
• 1:24:24
  Beverly to center ice,
• 1:24:25
  and then loops one in,
• 1:24:26
  looks to the left by Rich,
• 1:24:28
  puts it on the ice,
• 1:24:29
  and swings it around the boards to Parisi,
• 1:24:31
  goes cross ice for Westball,
• 1:24:33
  and the tempo of this game has slowed down,
• 1:24:35
  after the furious start,
• 1:24:37
  in the first period,
• 1:24:38
  now Westball to the red line,
• 1:24:39
  shoots in,
• 1:24:40
  back behind the net,
• 1:24:41
  Jockeman makes the stick stop,
• 1:24:43
  and leaves for Joe Baer,
• 1:24:44
  Hylander's change out of the move,
• 1:24:46
  as Joe Baer starts up,
• 1:24:47
  6'20 remaining,
• 1:24:48
  second period,
• 1:24:49
  Joe Baer jumps in,
• 1:24:50
  left side of the out of the net,
• 1:24:52
  Resch stops it,
• 1:24:53
  Rangers change out the goal,
• 1:24:54
  Resch dumps it back behind,
• 1:24:55
  it's that down for Heading,
• 1:24:57
  Heading out of the out of the zone,
• 1:24:59
  checked by Stemkowski,
• 1:25:00
  Heading moves up to center,
• 1:25:02
  and loses on a stick check to Irvin,
• 1:25:04
  a back pass for Park,
• 1:25:05
  Park spinning in his own head,
• 1:25:06
  away from Heading,
• 1:25:07
  comes to the near board,
• 1:25:09
  now Park comes back the other way,
• 1:25:11
  Heading all over,
• 1:25:12
  Park moves back behind his net,
• 1:25:14
  Heading looks to follow up there,
• 1:25:15
  Park standing behind the net,
• 1:25:17
  leaves for Stemkowski,
• 1:25:18
  Stemmer starts up on the right board,
• 1:25:20
  throws it out to center,
• 1:25:21
  but it's taken by Heading,
• 1:25:22
  loses on a stick check to Beverly,
• 1:25:24
  Beverly fires to the out of the line,
• 1:25:25
  but it's an easy intercept for Park,
• 1:25:27
  Parms ahead for McMillan,
• 1:25:28
  modeled up by Park Butler,
• 1:25:30
  takes it away,
• 1:25:31
  ahead to Stemkowski at center,
• 1:25:32
  and he shoots it to the out of the line,
• 1:25:34
  intercepted by John Putman,
• 1:25:36
  Putman on the rush to the range of line,
• 1:25:37
  loses control,
• 1:25:38
  Irvin moves after to McConaugh,
• 1:25:40
  along with Putman,
• 1:25:41
  they combine to freeze him,
• 1:25:43
  and play is gone.
• 1:25:45
  Well, now that there's a break in the action,
• 1:25:46
  a good time to remind you about new
• 1:25:49
  Ultrabad Super Dry Anti-Perspirant,
• 1:25:52
  Ultrabad Super Dry not only sprays on really dry,
• 1:25:55
  it's also more effective in helping stop wetness.
• 1:25:58
  That's right, tests have shown that Ultrabad Super Dry
• 1:26:01
  will help stop wetness better than Lake Yard,
• 1:26:04
  are an extra dry, soft and dry, and dial.
• 1:26:07
  They're all good,
• 1:26:08
  but tests have shown new Ultrabad Super Dry is better.
• 1:26:11
  So why not try an anti-perspirant
• 1:26:13
  that is more effective in helping you stay dry.
• 1:26:15
  New Ultrabad Super Dry on the face-off,
• 1:26:19
  jammed on the corner,
• 1:26:20
  work free now by Beverly,
• 1:26:22
  winds it around,
• 1:26:23
  Park flags it down from the point,
• 1:26:25
  looks to set up,
• 1:26:26
  gives off to Howitt,
• 1:26:27
  Howitt at the far board,
• 1:26:28
  throws in front,
• 1:26:29
  broken up by Beverly,
• 1:26:29
  can't clear out,
• 1:26:30
  Potman keeps in,
• 1:26:31
  into the corner to Meisgram,
• 1:26:32
  Meisgram with a shot,
• 1:26:33
  stick to side by Chokovet,
• 1:26:35
  with much traffic in front,
• 1:26:36
  and then Fairburn sends ahead to Cachuk.
• 1:26:38
  A lead at center,
• 1:26:39
  Sanderson fakes the slap,
• 1:26:41
  and Dennis Potman sticks,
• 1:26:42
  checks it away.
• 1:26:43
  Here's Potman back to center,
• 1:26:44
  Potman up to the range line,
• 1:26:46
  fade on the right for Meisgram,
• 1:26:48
  breaks in back behind the goal line,
• 1:26:49
  throws out now to the far post,
• 1:26:51
  the Potman, a shot goes wide out of the flexion,
• 1:26:53
  chased down by Saint Laurent,
• 1:26:55
  knocked away by Sanderson,
• 1:26:56
  Cachuk after it behind the range,
• 1:26:58
  and he's turned around by Meisgram,
• 1:26:59
  but he's able to wind it around the boards,
• 1:27:01
  and Fairburn,
• 1:27:01
  shoots it out of the zone,
• 1:27:02
  Howitt back board over,
• 1:27:03
  skates forward,
• 1:27:04
  takes a lead,
• 1:27:05
  Sanderson is in across,
• 1:27:06
  the out of the line,
• 1:27:07
  cuts in,
• 1:27:07
  he's dragged out from behind,
• 1:27:08
  and a penalty is called.
• 1:27:09
  Penalty upcoming against the Outlanders,
• 1:27:11
  as the puck is bent in,
• 1:27:13
  back behind the out of the net,
• 1:27:15
  Sanderson,
• 1:27:16
  on a beautiful break led by Fairburn,
• 1:27:20
  and a penalty upcoming,
• 1:27:21
  it is a flipping call,
• 1:27:23
  against Dennis Potman.
• 1:27:25
  Potman did what he had to do,
• 1:27:27
  Sanderson had only a backhand opportunity,
• 1:27:29
  no opportunity at all to deke on the play,
• 1:27:32
  had to take the backhand shot,
• 1:27:33
  rush came out,
• 1:27:35
  Potman got his stick on,
• 1:27:36
  Sanderson skates and just pushed,
• 1:27:38
  Derrick going down,
• 1:27:39
  and referee Wally Harris calling the play,
• 1:27:41
  good pass by Billy Fairburn,
• 1:27:43
  a short pass,
• 1:27:44
  just enough for him to beat Jerry Harden,
• 1:27:47
  go in on that break.
• 1:27:48
  15, 9, 15, 27.
• 1:27:52
  15, 27,
• 1:27:54
  the time of a trip by Dennis Potman,
• 1:27:57
  and so,
• 1:27:58
  the Rangers have the man advantage,
• 1:28:00
  they lead it by the score of 1-0.
• 1:28:02
  Derrick Sanderson just skating over to the bench,
• 1:28:04
  Neymar Francis said that should have been a penalty shot,
• 1:28:07
  I have to disagree, Ma,
• 1:28:08
  he did not have a complete break away,
• 1:28:11
  he could not make any other move,
• 1:28:12
  but shoot from where he was,
• 1:28:14
  if you have a break away,
• 1:28:15
  you can deke,
• 1:28:15
  you can shoot,
• 1:28:16
  you have both sides of the net,
• 1:28:18
  to shoot at,
• 1:28:18
  that time he was just there carrying a buck on his backhand,
• 1:28:21
  didn't have enough time to even put it on his forehead.
• 1:28:25
  Rangers continue a mild argument,
• 1:28:28
  with referee Wally Harris now,
• 1:28:29
  assistant captain Rod Jopper,
• 1:28:32
  comes over,
• 1:28:34
  Rangers claiming that it should have been a penalty shot,
• 1:28:38
  and I have to agree with you, South,
• 1:28:42
  nothing clear cut about that,
• 1:28:44
  and I must say also,
• 1:28:46
  that was a true trip on Sanderson,
• 1:28:49
  no swan dive,
• 1:28:49
  off the face Brechner from the right,
• 1:28:51
  makes the slap,
• 1:28:52
  now shoots,
• 1:28:53
  it goes wide on a screened out Brech,
• 1:28:55
  Vickers with the rebound in the corner,
• 1:28:57
  winds it behind the net for Joba,
• 1:28:58
  in front Rattelle,
• 1:28:59
  broken up nicely by Lewis,
• 1:29:00
  but kept alive by Park,
• 1:29:01
  Park comes to the corner,
• 1:29:02
  Vickers takes it back,
• 1:29:03
  Park spinning in the corner,
• 1:29:04
  Park looks to set up,
• 1:29:05
  now Park throws it along the board,
• 1:29:07
  whistle on the play,
• 1:29:08
  pushing and shoving in front of the net,
• 1:29:10
  with Lewis and Joba getting involved,
• 1:29:12
  and a penalty upcoming.
• 1:29:13
  I think they're both going off, both for slashing,
• 1:29:16
  Lewis trying to keep Joba out from the front of the net,
• 1:29:19
  later stick on Joba,
• 1:29:21
  Joba taking exception,
• 1:29:22
  and striking back.
• 1:29:25
  The discussion continues,
• 1:29:27
  but Wally Harris is indicating a double penalty is upcoming,
• 1:29:32
  right here, let's pause for station identification.
• 1:29:35
  This is WNEW in New York,
• 1:29:37
  and this is Gene Clavenham,
• 1:29:38
  I'm on every morning folks from 5.30 to 10,
• 1:29:41
  is this a game?
• 1:29:42
  Have you heard my show?
• 1:29:44
  Is that a show?
• 1:29:45
  This is Mark Albert with Sal Messina
• 1:29:47
  from Madison Square Garden in New York.
• 1:29:51
  SRO crowd here at the garden for game one
• 1:29:55
  of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
• 1:29:57
  Here's the announcement on the penalty, slashing.
• 1:30:01
  On both,
• 1:30:03
  Roger Baer and Glenn Resch,
• 1:30:06
  the coltender Resch is hit with the slash,
• 1:30:08
  and then Lewis came over,
• 1:30:10
  at first it appeared that Harris was handing out the penalty
• 1:30:14
  to the defenseman Lewis,
• 1:30:15
  but it is Resch who got involved with Joba,
• 1:30:19
  and so the auditors will send someone over to the penalty
• 1:30:21
  box to serve that Resch slash.
• 1:30:24
  Time of the penalty is 15.45.
• 1:30:27
  And Bob, that'll set up the four on three situation still
• 1:30:29
  for a minute and 42 seconds.
• 1:30:32
  One inning, who was out on the ice on that opportunity,
• 1:30:35
  has to serve that penalty,
• 1:30:37
  one of the players who are on the ice
• 1:30:38
  at the time of the infraction will go out,
• 1:30:40
  heading going out to join Dennis Pottson.
• 1:30:42
  So the Rangers for a minute and 42 seconds
• 1:30:44
  will have a four on three situation.
• 1:30:48
  Face off coming up midway between
• 1:30:51
  the island of Lulana, Lulana,
• 1:30:53
  it'll be a west ball and Rattell on the draw,
• 1:30:56
  controlled by the Rangers,
• 1:30:57
  Mark holds it up for that point,
• 1:30:59
  looks to set up cross-ice,
• 1:31:01
  blood, Harris, he shoots it,
• 1:31:02
  his block comes in front,
• 1:31:03
  Rattell bats at it, it goes wide,
• 1:31:05
  West ball comes away with the loose block
• 1:31:07
  for the outlanders, goes along the boards,
• 1:31:09
  looks to clear and succeeds,
• 1:31:11
  shoots it all the way down.
• 1:31:12
  Rangers have the man advantage
• 1:31:14
  in a four on three skating situation.
• 1:31:17
  Ron Harris back behind the Ranger net,
• 1:31:19
  Rangers lead it one nothing as Harris starts up,
• 1:31:21
  moving right to left, Harris to center,
• 1:31:24
  Harris moving on west ball across the out of the line
• 1:31:26
  that jumps in, left side of rest,
• 1:31:28
  Marshall back forward, whips it around the boards,
• 1:31:30
  comes back the other way,
• 1:31:31
  took a tricky hop, Rattell able to keep in,
• 1:31:33
  out to the point to Ron Harris,
• 1:31:35
  cross-ice, blocked from the left side,
• 1:31:36
  flips it from the vicar but it's broken up,
• 1:31:39
  Harris gets it alive, he shoots,
• 1:31:40
  he falls down as it's knocked away by Marshall,
• 1:31:43
  and west ball takes the loose block
• 1:31:44
  and carries it out to center,
• 1:31:46
  he's tied up by Park along the boards at the far side,
• 1:31:49
  have that stop to play, Park not allowing
• 1:31:52
  west ball to clear up the rest of the ice.
• 1:31:54
  Two good saves by the islander defense,
• 1:31:56
  the first by Dave Lewis who just made a kick save
• 1:31:59
  right in front of Glenn Rush on park shot,
• 1:32:01
  and then Burt Marshall able to stop Ronnie Harris's shot
• 1:32:04
  as all three islanders had drifted over to that side
• 1:32:07
  of the ice and if Ronnie would have made a pass,
• 1:32:10
  the other side of the ice is all Rangers.
• 1:32:13
  Rangers remain with Bertell and Vickers up front,
• 1:32:15
  Harris and Parker back.
• 1:32:20
  50 seconds remaining on the Dennis Puntman penalty
• 1:32:23
  for Hanford on Harris as he leaves,
• 1:32:25
  Breschner steps on, and a minute eight on those
• 1:32:28
  double penalties to Joe Baer and Glenn Rush.
• 1:32:33
  A wrap by two halfs.
• 1:32:34
  Hanford serving the rest penalty incidentally,
• 1:32:36
  on the face, Park shoots it all the way down
• 1:32:39
  for the islanders, back behind the Ranger goal line,
• 1:32:42
  Park is after it, now Park starts up,
• 1:32:44
  Rangers half an advantage, Park to center,
• 1:32:46
  Park is up across the islander line,
• 1:32:48
  Park cuts to the near side,
• 1:32:50
  has Vickers out deep wide open,
• 1:32:52
  a pass to Vickers up and up one,
• 1:32:53
  north side, Breschner, Breschner back to Vickers,
• 1:32:55
  he goes in with a drive, save off the cover,
• 1:32:57
  Breschner on the rebound, Breschner keeps it
• 1:33:00
  on the right ball, he lines it up,
• 1:33:01
  a shot shoot back to Park and Vickers at the near corner,
• 1:33:04
  now Park sets up, gets to Vickers in the corner,
• 1:33:06
  Vickers moves in, back the other way,
• 1:33:07
  Breschner, out the park, straight away shot,
• 1:33:09
  he shoots, blocked beautifully by a diving marshal,
• 1:33:12
  and Westphal clears it all the way down.
• 1:33:15
  Bird marshal with that block,
• 1:33:17
  on the straight on shot by Brad Park,
• 1:33:19
  here's Breschner out of the zone,
• 1:33:20
  but Dennis Puntman returns for the ice,
• 1:33:22
  Breschner tied up by Marisi,
• 1:33:24
  goes in across the out of the line,
• 1:33:25
  back pass, Baerberg, Baerberg cross-ice to Park,
• 1:33:27
  Park shoots, it is reflected wide,
• 1:33:29
  on the rebound, it's far about the far corner,
• 1:33:31
  Baerberg is hemmed in, Park is held against the boards,
• 1:33:34
  Park pushes it along the boards,
• 1:33:36
  and then it's frozen, just stopped play.
• 1:33:38
  Five seconds remaining on the double penalties,
• 1:33:41
  right now both clubs are four skaters apiece.
• 1:33:44
  Face-off coming up from the left side of the highlander net,
• 1:33:47
  we have 2.20 left in this first period,
• 1:33:50
  and the Rangers lead it 1-0 on the goal by Steve Vickers,
• 1:33:53
  assisted by Brad Park and John Ratel
• 1:33:56
  at 8.11 of the second period.
• 1:33:58
  And with that whistle, Glenn Resch came out,
• 1:34:01
  and patted Burt Marshall on the backside,
• 1:34:04
  saying way to go, and what a job Burt Marshall did
• 1:34:06
  on that particular power play by the Rangers,
• 1:34:09
  he stopped two good shots, and the last one,
• 1:34:12
  the Rangers throwing the puck around beautifully,
• 1:34:13
  Greschner finally getting it back to Park,
• 1:34:16
  and a beautiful sprawling save by Burt Marshall
• 1:34:19
  to keep that puck from penetrating.
• 1:34:20
  Face-off now, left side of Resch,
• 1:34:23
  that'll be Kachuk and Druid on the draw.
• 1:34:28
  On the face-off, it's sent back behind the,
• 1:34:31
  out of the net, Hart after it, Hart flops it now for Druid,
• 1:34:35
  Druid winds it around the board, Marat after,
• 1:34:37
  shoots back in behind, Resch makes the stick stop,
• 1:34:40
  Gilberto, and heading return now,
• 1:34:42
  both clubs, five skaters aside,
• 1:34:44
  Druid takes it in front of his own net,
• 1:34:46
  clears it ahead now for Dennis Potman,
• 1:34:48
  and Potman shoots it out to center.
• 1:34:50
  Parisi can't handle it, Faberant bats it away
• 1:34:52
  over to Sanderson, he cuts it up,
• 1:34:53
  up in the backhand, it was wide.
• 1:34:55
  Beautiful move by Sanderson, but a shot went wide.
• 1:34:58
  Now here's Druid up to center for the honor
• 1:35:00
  that's moving on the route, takes the slap
• 1:35:01
  at the range of iron, then loses possession,
• 1:35:03
  and Greschner takes, spins back behind his goal line,
• 1:35:06
  winds it around the board, Dennis Potman keeps in,
• 1:35:08
  dumps it in the corner for McMillan,
• 1:35:09
  back behind the goal line, Parisi back in front,
• 1:35:11
  10-4 McMillan, intercepted by Sanderson,
• 1:35:14
  a hit, Faberant at center, he is one-on-two,
• 1:35:16
  Faberant shoots in, a high shot blowed at the crossbar,
• 1:35:19
  by Gresch, puts on the stick of the defenseman, Jerry Hart,
• 1:35:22
  Hart spinning back behind his net, watch by Cachut,
• 1:35:25
  rolls it around, out of the stick of Druid.
• 1:35:27
  Here's Druid up to center for the honor that's moving
• 1:35:30
  on the crisscross with McMillan,
• 1:35:31
  takes a hip check from the route as he shoots in,
• 1:35:33
  and Sanderson slaps it back the other way,
• 1:35:35
  it carries all the way down across the honor
• 1:35:37
  of their goal line, the touch by Dennis Potman,
• 1:35:41
  and that bumps the whistle, more icing,
• 1:35:43
  so they'll bring it back down for a face-off.
• 1:35:45
  They have now changed the scoring on that ranger goal.
• 1:35:47
  It is Brad Park's goal from Rotel at 8-11,
• 1:35:52
  originally called Vickers on a deflection from in front.
• 1:35:55
  Apparently they looked at the replay,
• 1:35:58
  and determined that it was a Park slap shot all the way,
• 1:36:02
  and Vickers did not get a face of it.
• 1:36:04
  Rotel, they assist 8-11, Rangers lead 1-0,
• 1:36:07
  face-off, deepened, Ranger-Ice controlled again
• 1:36:09
  by the Rangers, Urban is hauled down,
• 1:36:11
  he and Howitt entangled with their skates,
• 1:36:14
  and the fans here looking for a penalty,
• 1:36:16
  no penalty called, Howitt also went down.
• 1:36:19
  Park takes, moves back behind his net,
• 1:36:21
  watched by the fore-checking Howitt,
• 1:36:23
  now Park starts up, but Meistrup fore-checking well,
• 1:36:25
  and Park has to move back behind his net.
• 1:36:28
  Park looking ahead, now Park starts up around Meistrup,
• 1:36:32
  here's Park with 40 seconds remaining in the period,
• 1:36:34
  moving up to center, a hit for Bemily,
• 1:36:35
  has an opening on the right side,
• 1:36:36
  beyond on the line, a slap is won,
• 1:36:38
  on the rebound, Stokowski shoots, score!
• 1:36:40
  And, off the line, the first pitch for Stokowski,
• 1:36:53
  who has had many a great playoff series,
• 1:36:58
  starting right here in game number one,
• 1:37:01
  with the tough angle shots, and 30 feet out,
• 1:37:03
  right side of Resh, feet over the shoulder,
• 1:37:06
  and the Rangers lead it 2-0.
• 1:37:08
  Complete breakdown by the Islanders,
• 1:37:10
  everybody going to the left side of the ice
• 1:37:12
  as the Rangers came in, and Bemily was able
• 1:37:14
  to go down to the right side to take the first shot,
• 1:37:17
  Resh even was slow as the puck bounced off the boards,
• 1:37:19
  and Stemmer, right on the puck,
• 1:37:21
  Resh coming over to this side of the net,
• 1:37:24
  Stemkowski shot it to where Resh was coming from,
• 1:37:26
  no way Resh could react,
• 1:37:28
  a perfect shot right inside the post.
• 1:37:31
  Final to go, 19-25 on the face-off,
• 1:37:34
  controlled by Lewis, to the out of the shirts ahead,
• 1:37:37
  some of the crowd, and players call.
• 1:37:40
  Bemily and Park, the assist for Pete Stemkowski.
• 1:37:45
  Well, there's one for the,
• 1:37:48
  two member of the Stemkowski family,
• 1:37:49
  I know Gail Stemkowski's taking it all in, on WNAW.
• 1:37:55
  Gail and Peter celebrating the birth of a girl
• 1:37:59
  just a couple of days ago, on the face,
• 1:38:00
  Stemkowski, control, shoots in,
• 1:38:03
  right side of Resh, time running down here,
• 1:38:05
  in this second period, Rangers lead it to nothing,
• 1:38:09
  Idle is clear out of the zone, Howard takes it center,
• 1:38:12
  moves to the Ranger line, and that shoots in,
• 1:38:14
  right side of the net, Park after,
• 1:38:16
  then a scramble of Howard, Meistrum works free,
• 1:38:19
  Irvin is over there, time runs out,
• 1:38:20
  Irvin passing around the middle,
• 1:38:22
  it's against the end of the second period.
• 1:38:25
  A score after two, the New York Rangers two,
• 1:38:30
  and the New York Islanders nothing.
• 1:38:32
  We'll be back in a moment,
• 1:38:33
  and Sal will be talking with one of my all time
• 1:38:38
  favorite New York Rangers from years gone by,
• 1:38:43
  a Ranger in the early 60s, Wild Bill Ezenicki.
• 1:38:49
  Don't play him on the golf course, Sal.
• 1:38:51
  No, I understand, he is a golf pro,
• 1:38:53
  I'll have to ask him about that,
• 1:38:54
  but Wild Bill Ezenicki was a man
• 1:38:56
  who loved to throw his body around,
• 1:38:58
  and you know, the big whistle, Chadwick said to me,
• 1:39:00
  as Nicky was a rough tough guy,
• 1:39:01
  but he never got a high sticking penalty.
• 1:39:04
  I asked Bill, you have that good a memory,
• 1:39:06
  you never gave him a high sticking penalty,
• 1:39:07
  we're gonna have to ask Ezenicki about that.
• 1:39:09
  All right, Wild Bill Ezenicki will be our guest
• 1:39:12
  just a moment or two, right here,
• 1:39:13
  let's pause for this, from manufacturer Sal.
• 1:39:17
  I'm walking through what used to be a busy bank,
• 1:39:20
  now it's filled only with the ghosts of people
• 1:39:22
  who used to bank here.
• 1:39:23
  Sorry, it's after three, we're closed.
• 1:39:27
  Margaret Martin used to spend her lunch hours here
• 1:39:29
  standing in line, but she's disappeared.
• 1:39:31
  She banks at Manufacturer's Hanoi now,
• 1:39:34
  where many branches open early and close late,
• 1:39:36
  so she can spend her lunch hour after lunch.
• 1:39:39
  Next.
• 1:39:40
  David Bell is a accountant, used to stand in line
• 1:39:42
  for 10 minutes to make a simple deposit,
• 1:39:45
  he's disappeared too.
• 1:39:46
  Now he makes deposits in 10 seconds
• 1:39:48
  in a quick time deposit box at Manufacturer's Hanoi.
• 1:39:52
  Sorry, you know how to get into offices
• 1:39:54
  with a problem.
• 1:39:56
  I don't know why the secretary got sick and tired
• 1:39:59
  of being given a hard time every time
• 1:40:00
  she wanted to cash a check at another branch.
• 1:40:03
  She too has disappeared.
• 1:40:05
  All the while she can cash her check at any branch.
• 1:40:08
  Now she gets hard cash instead of a hard time.
• 1:40:11
  A lot of people are going to Manufacturer's Hanoi
• 1:40:14
  because they're doing a lot of things
• 1:40:15
  to make banking the way you want it to be.
• 1:40:18
  Remember, D.S.C.
• 1:40:20
  In the second period, the Rangers out-shopped
• 1:40:22
  the islanders 14-7 for an overall 24-15 edge
• 1:40:27
  over the first 10 minutes.
• 1:40:29
  No scoring in the first, in the second,
• 1:40:31
  it was Martin on a slap, assisted by Rotel at 8-11.
• 1:40:36
  And then Stumkowski from Beverly and Martin at 19-25,
• 1:40:43
  giving the Rangers the two-nothing lead right here
• 1:40:46
  after two.
• 1:40:47
  Penalties in the second, Irvin and Lewis together
• 1:40:49
  for high-sticking at 9-27.
• 1:40:52
  Dennis Pontven for a trip at 15-27,
• 1:40:55
  then Resch, the goaltender, and Gilbert got involved
• 1:40:57
  in the front of the net, and they were both called
• 1:41:00
  for slashing at 15-45, giving the Rangers a four-on-three
• 1:41:04
  skating advantage.
• 1:41:05
  Resch is penalty served by Lauren Heading.
• 1:41:09
  Two-to-nothing to score at the end of two,
• 1:41:11
  the Rangers on top.
• 1:41:13
  Elsewhere on the national hockey league,
• 1:41:14
  Boston over Chicago, 8-1 in the third,
• 1:41:17
  Pittsburgh came from behind and beat the St. Louis Blues
• 1:41:20
  4-3, St. Louis chopping off to that two-nothing lead,
• 1:41:24
  but the Penguins just awesome at home this season,
• 1:41:28
  able to come back and pull out the victory
• 1:41:31
  by the count of 4-3.
• 1:41:33

  with the John of the pregame,
• 1:42:38
  and that will be game two of their best two out of three.
• 1:42:40
  Suries, if there is a third game in Houston
• 1:42:43
  on Saturday afternoon,
• 1:42:45
  we will be there to bring you all the action.
• 1:42:47
  Rangers and Idlers continue at the Nassau Coliseum
• 1:42:50
  Thursday night,
• 1:42:51
  if there is a game three,
• 1:42:52
  they will play it here at the garden on Friday night,
• 1:42:55
  and you will hear it on WNAW starting same time,
• 1:42:58
  10 minutes before nine with South and the pregame show.
• 1:43:01
  Right here we're two complete,
• 1:43:03
  and the Rangers are on second period goals
• 1:43:06
  by Brad Park and Pete Stamkowski,
• 1:43:08
  lead the Idlers two to nothing.
• 1:43:10
  I see Wild Bill is all set, here's South.
• 1:43:14
  Wild Bill doesn't look as wild as when I saw him
• 1:43:16
  play with a blue shirt on here back,
• 1:43:18
  I don't even remember the year Mom did,
• 1:43:20
  I think it was the early 60s though
• 1:43:21
  when you were with the Rangers or was it the late 50s?
• 1:43:23
  Oh, it was the late 50s, yeah.
• 1:43:26
  Mostly with Toronto and Boston,
• 1:43:29
  but it's nice being in the new ring,
• 1:43:32
  the facilities are great,
• 1:43:33
  but as we were saying, talking to each other earlier,
• 1:43:36
  we missed the homie feeling of the old Madison Square Garden.
• 1:43:41
  So I've gotten accustomed to it now,
• 1:43:42
  I think we're here about seven years,
• 1:43:44
  and even though I never played in the old ring, of course,
• 1:43:47
  I watched games there,
• 1:43:49
  and that had a tremendous flavor about it.
• 1:43:52
  This ring to me has developed
• 1:43:53
  some sort of a homie feeling to me,
• 1:43:55
  I know it's your first trip here,
• 1:43:57
  as you said, the different dimensions have a bearing
• 1:44:01
  on things too, the ice surface.
• 1:44:02
  Yes, the end zones were smaller,
• 1:44:06
  and it favors the big men on defense.
• 1:44:10
  As we were saying,
• 1:44:10
  the defensemen are much better skaters today,
• 1:44:14
  they maneuver, they have greater maneuverability.
• 1:44:18
  I don't know what the penalty box is like though,
• 1:44:20
  I haven't seen that for a while,
• 1:44:21
  but it looks kinda classy.
• 1:44:23
  Well, you spent a lot of time in penalty boxes,
• 1:44:25
  I remember that.
• 1:44:27
  Oh yes, I had the best seat in the house many times,
• 1:44:30
  many times.
• 1:44:32
  Bill Chadwick said to me up in the press lounge earlier,
• 1:44:35
  before the game, as Nicky was a tough guy,
• 1:44:39
  always hit people,
• 1:44:40
  he never got a high sticking penalty, did you ever?
• 1:44:44
  Oh, I might have, but really,
• 1:44:46
  the stick was always below the shoulder,
• 1:44:48
  we were trained to use our body,
• 1:44:51
  Harris threw a nice check out there tonight,
• 1:44:53
  he uses his body, his hips,
• 1:44:55
  Burilko could hit.
• 1:44:58
  But Bill was quite a guy, he gave me a penalty once,
• 1:45:02
  and it was the fifth penalty of one period that he gave me,
• 1:45:06
  he gave me five penalties in one period.
• 1:45:08
  But I never questioned Bill, never used any profanity,
• 1:45:11
  but I said, Bill, what was that one for?
• 1:45:12
  He said, as he said, it wasn't for what you did,
• 1:45:15
  he said it was for what you're about to do.
• 1:45:18
  Bill anticipated, we'll have to talk to him about that.
• 1:45:21
  I think Bill Chadwick was the greatest hockey referee
• 1:45:24
  that I've ever seen, they've had some good ones,
• 1:45:26
  and they have good ones today,
• 1:45:27
  with Clancy Gravel and Chadwick,
• 1:45:29
  they have the respect of the player,
• 1:45:32
  and quite a couple of good characters too,
• 1:45:34
  when you talk about Clancy.
• 1:45:36
  Oh, he's a great man, so is Bill,
• 1:45:40
  and Leo Gravel was a great referee.
• 1:45:46
  Bill, this game tonight, great checking game,
• 1:45:50
  I thought, tough checking game,
• 1:45:51
  both teams are sitting back waiting for the breaks,
• 1:45:54
  how does this game, in this playoff series,
• 1:45:56
  a two out of three series, go back and compare
• 1:45:59
  tonight's game with when you were playing
• 1:46:00
  in the playoffs for the Maple Leafs?
• 1:46:02
  Well, we always had a best four out of seven series,
• 1:46:07
  where you might be more inclined to be cautious
• 1:46:10
  with a two out of three series.
• 1:46:12
  It started out very strong on the first period,
• 1:46:14
  with good heavy checking,
• 1:46:17
  and a lot of physical work out there by both teams,
• 1:46:23
  and then the Rangers seemed to take over
• 1:46:26
  when the Islanders stopped hitting.
• 1:46:29
  Bill, going back to your years,
• 1:46:31
  the festival was a great checkers,
• 1:46:33
  the game nowadays, if you are the exception of course,
• 1:46:36
  you were one of the hitting forwards,
• 1:46:38
  to me now the hitters are the forwards more so
• 1:46:41
  than the defensemen, say back in the late 50s.
• 1:46:44
  Well, we were always caught,
• 1:46:48
  and the defensemen stand up front,
• 1:46:52
  not to back into the goal tender,
• 1:46:54
  as a result, I know we could go behind the goal tender
• 1:46:56
  and take the man off that was coming through,
• 1:46:59
  or else if the defensemen held their ground,
• 1:47:02
  just over the blue line, we could see the other forwards
• 1:47:05
  into the defensemen.
• 1:47:07
  But, it's a state shoot better today,
• 1:47:11
  I wouldn't say their skating is any better,
• 1:47:13
  but the defensemen are definitely better skaters.
• 1:47:16
  And it seems to be a little faster,
• 1:47:19
  but it's different from the stands looking out there
• 1:47:22
  than being out there.
• 1:47:24
  A little bit about yourself right now,
• 1:47:26
  I understand you're a golf pro,
• 1:47:27
  I understand I know you've been a golf pro for many years,
• 1:47:30
  what are you actually getting into?
• 1:47:32
  You were on a tour a while back,
• 1:47:34
  are you still active as far as playing on a tour,
• 1:47:37
  or strictly club work?
• 1:47:38
  Well, Sal, I've always played the winter tour,
• 1:47:42
  I've enjoyed that, but then getting back to a club,
• 1:47:44
  I've always been at a golf club,
• 1:47:46
  I'm at the International Golf Club in Bolton
• 1:47:49
  at the present time,
• 1:47:51
  golf has always gotten me into a lot of trouble,
• 1:47:54
  both for Toronto, and for Boston,
• 1:47:56
  I don't know about New York,
• 1:47:59
  but I remember playing 36 holes a day at the game
• 1:48:01
  when I was with Boston,
• 1:48:03
  we played the Rangers that night,
• 1:48:04
  and I was called into the office,
• 1:48:06
  I said, Mr. Ross, do you play 36 holes on Sunday,
• 1:48:10
  the day of the Ranger game?
• 1:48:12
  And I said, yes, Mr. Ross, I did.
• 1:48:15
  He didn't appreciate that fact,
• 1:48:17
  and it wasn't long before I went and quit the prune.
• 1:48:21
  But I remember Connie Smythe asking me,
• 1:48:23
  he said, Bill, I only reported to camp twice
• 1:48:27
  out of approximately nine years,
• 1:48:29
  and he said, when I reported late one year to Mr. Smythe,
• 1:48:32
  he said, Bill, what would you rather do,
• 1:48:33
  play an off-year golf?
• 1:48:35
  And I said, well, frankly, I'd rather play golf, Mr. Smythe,
• 1:48:38
  but he never permitted me to finish,
• 1:48:41
  I was gonna tell him that the sports didn't conflict,
• 1:48:43
  and one aided the other.
• 1:48:45
  I was straight at the bottom.
• 1:48:47
  Well, how did you finally get to New York,
• 1:48:51
  was that after playing the 36 holes at Boston?
• 1:48:54
  Yes, yes, I enjoyed New York,
• 1:48:57
  and it was just great coming down here
• 1:49:02
  to watch a hockey game, and I'm really enjoying it.
• 1:49:05
  Bill, yourself, you and your era
• 1:49:08
  were considered one of the toughest men in the game,
• 1:49:11
  definitely the hardest hitters.
• 1:49:13
  Now you have a player like Dave Schultz
• 1:49:15
  for the International Hockey League,
• 1:49:17
  an exciting player to watch,
• 1:49:19
  I don't know if it's for the hockey skill,
• 1:49:21
  maybe for his use of the body
• 1:49:24
  and his use of everything he can use
• 1:49:26
  in order to stop a player.
• 1:49:28
  In your day, was there as much stick work as there is today?
• 1:49:31
  How do you compare what they call violence,
• 1:49:33
  which I think is over-exaggerated nowadays,
• 1:49:35
  say, back to when you played?
• 1:49:37
  Well, we had a lot of violence,
• 1:49:41
  say, between Montreal and Toronto,
• 1:49:44
  there was a lot of blood spilled out there,
• 1:49:46
  the best hockey was played in the playoffs.
• 1:49:49
  I think every team in the National Hockey League,
• 1:49:52
  or any hockey league, requires a man like Dave Schultz,
• 1:49:55
  you have to have a policeman,
• 1:49:57
  and it won't be long before,
• 1:50:00
  I think Dave will improve upon his other qualifications
• 1:50:04
  as a player, you cease to become a rookie
• 1:50:07
  when you recognize how not to jeopardize
• 1:50:09
  your team's chances of winning.
• 1:50:11
  You know, when I first came up as a rookie,
• 1:50:13
  I took a lot of foolish penalties,
• 1:50:14
  but it was because through the endeavor
• 1:50:17
  of attempting to win.
• 1:50:18
  But I like Dave Schultz, he could play in my club.
• 1:50:24
  So you have a club right now, you'll put one together,
• 1:50:27
  you'd go for a man like Schultz,
• 1:50:28
  you couldn't have more than one Dave Schultz,
• 1:50:30
  I think on your team,
• 1:50:31
  because then you wouldn't play half the game
• 1:50:32
  in the penalty box, actually.
• 1:50:34
  Well, everybody has a Dave Schultz.
• 1:50:38
  Canadians used to have Bergeson,
• 1:50:41
  LeBrunes always had Cashman,
• 1:50:42
  Cashman to me is the third best hockey player
• 1:50:45
  when he's, well, without his back injury,
• 1:50:47
  when he's playing, third best hockey player with LeBrunes,
• 1:50:50
  in my book.
• 1:50:52
  I like to have somebody out there who can,
• 1:50:55
  well, protect the, there's always a little guy out there
• 1:50:59
  who has a lot of talent, but he can't exercise it
• 1:51:02
  if someone's shoving him around all the time.
• 1:51:05
  So a fellow like Cashman or Schultz or Bergeson,
• 1:51:09
  you can keep a little piece out there,
• 1:51:11
  the fans like it too.
• 1:51:13
  They don't like to see their team bullied out on the rink.
• 1:51:17
  That's for sure.
• 1:51:17
  Bill, yourself, you were involved, of course,
• 1:51:19
  in Montreal-Toronto playoff series.
• 1:51:23
  Was it such a close-knit league then,
• 1:51:25
  more so than it is now, you had more of the rivalries.
• 1:51:28
  I would say so.
• 1:51:29
  You saw each other more often,
• 1:51:32
  and the rivalries were, they were better at times
• 1:51:37
  because the owners had a leg on the players.
• 1:51:41
  They had somebody to replace you,
• 1:51:43
  at least five guys for your position.
• 1:51:45
  So it was tough making the team,
• 1:51:47
  but the most difficult job was remaining
• 1:51:50
  and staying with that club.
• 1:51:52
  And your lifespan as a hockey player at that time
• 1:51:55
  wasn't as long as it is now
• 1:51:58
  because of the fact that there were more hockey players
• 1:52:01
  for the six teams that were involved.
• 1:52:03
  Bill, yourself, did you carry with a player,
• 1:52:06
  say you got involved with a player,
• 1:52:08
  did you forget it after the game
• 1:52:09
  or did you remember about it in the next hockey game?
• 1:52:12
  Well, I think you had a very good memory,
• 1:52:16
  and I think you'd forget it until the next time
• 1:52:22
  that you teed it up on the ice.
• 1:52:24
  And you had to read players.
• 1:52:26
  You had to analyze their moves,
• 1:52:28
  which way they cut, which way they'd bake.
• 1:52:31
  And in the third period,
• 1:52:33
  the team with the most stamina
• 1:52:35
  would eventually win the hockey game.
• 1:52:38
  We won our first family cup against Montreal,
• 1:52:40
  and I know they were the class of the field,
• 1:52:43
  but we were the best conditions club in the league.
• 1:52:45
  Well, Bill, as a Nikita, I have to say,
• 1:52:47
  well, you're not wild anymore.
• 1:52:48
  You're a golfer and a today,
• 1:52:50
  and thanks very much for coming up.
• 1:52:51
  It's a pleasure talking to you.
• 1:52:53
  I really enjoyed being here, Sal.
• 1:52:55
  Okay, for a while, Bill, we have a Sony AM-FF,
• 1:52:59
  Digimatic box radio with push-butt controls
• 1:53:02
  and automatic sleep timer.
• 1:53:03
  The Sony also has illuminated,
• 1:53:05
  easy to read clock tools and a big three inch speaker.
• 1:53:09
  It's not just a radio, it's a Sony.
• 1:53:12
  The Rangers are back on ice.
• 1:53:15
  The auditors will be here in just a moment.
• 1:53:17
  They'll have the third period after this from Schaeffer.
• 1:53:20
  Listen to the smooth sliding sound of a country steel guitar.
• 1:53:37
  See yourself on a fine summer evening doing what you please,
• 1:53:41
  pleasing yourself with the mellow flavor of some fine cold beer.
• 1:53:45
  Not just any beer, Schaeffer beer.
• 1:53:48
  Schaeffer's the one beer that goes all evening,
• 1:53:50
  still tasting like the night is young.
• 1:53:53
  The one beer with flavor that never fades glass after frosty glass.
• 1:53:57
  Schaeffer stays so smooth, so first beer fine
• 1:54:01
  that every Schaeffer plays like music to your thirst.
• 1:54:05
  Schaeffer, it's the one beer to have
• 1:54:08
  when you're having more than one.
• 1:54:19
  The F&M Schaeffer Brewing Company, New York, New York.
• 1:54:23
  In this third period, and a big win-win situation,
• 1:54:26
  running the call to our right for the auditors
• 1:54:29
  and Ed Chalkament defending to our left for the Rangers.
• 1:54:33
  Wild-billed as the Niki played in the late 50s,
• 1:54:35
  not early 60s, and tell you so,
• 1:54:37
  when you're having a good time, the time really goes by.
• 1:54:40
  There goes your name.
• 1:54:42
  We'll have to discuss that one.
• 1:54:44
  I don't follow you, sir.
• 1:54:46
  Sir, while you played, we were in high school.
• 1:54:49
  Great school at the time.
• 1:54:51
  You just made it out.
• 1:54:52
  Off the face of, Charlie Hart control, shoots it ahead.
• 1:54:55
  Clark intercepts, makes his move to the outer version.
• 1:54:58
  Low line, puts on the brakes, versus on a stick check,
• 1:55:01
  and Parisi clears it ahead.
• 1:55:02
  Here's Westmoren, a center three on one.
• 1:55:04
  The honor of Westmoren cuts it's last for the right,
• 1:55:07
  and he kicks, saving up duty, made by Chalkament.
• 1:55:10
  So far with the rebound, Chalkament,
• 1:55:12
  swings it ahead, right the other way by Hart,
• 1:55:14
  sends left side of Chalkament,
• 1:55:16
  on a whistle, forward and offside.
• 1:55:19
  With Parisi ahead of the play, Hart threw it in,
• 1:55:23
  and so we'll bring it back, and we are
• 1:55:25
  carrying the chant of Eddie, Eddie,
• 1:55:28
  from this capacity crowd here at the garden.
• 1:55:30
  It has been a very strong game for Ed Chalkament,
• 1:55:34
  and that performance of the New York Rangers.
• 1:55:38
  Eddie bouncing back, it turned up,
• 1:55:41
  and it's been a lot of fun to watch the storm performance.
• 1:55:44
  It's a number of times up the spectrum,
• 1:55:46
  and it has been just brilliant tonight.
• 1:55:49
  Rangers lead it to nothing, we're underway at third for Ed.
• 1:55:52
  On the face off outside the Ranger line,
• 1:55:54
  Marshall shoots in, back behind the Ranger,
• 1:55:56
  that's Zagoski there, hit far behind the goal by Saint Laurent,
• 1:55:59
  whips it around, starts above the cat clear,
• 1:56:01
  Saint Laurent keeps it, sends it in front,
• 1:56:03
  Chalkament able to clear it aside away from Howard,
• 1:56:05
  towards Chalkament, from an ice cream,
• 1:56:07
  keeps it, sends to Marshall at the point.
• 1:56:09
  He loses on a stick check, recovered by Nicebroom,
• 1:56:11
  Nicebroom loses, Kirsten Kowski's turned around,
• 1:56:14
  then recovers past the feed, Saint Laurent,
• 1:56:16
  he's dumped by Marat, the Rangers clear a gun of his own,
• 1:56:19
  at center, Butler sweeps it by Lewis,
• 1:56:20
  cuts it across the out of the line,
• 1:56:22
  the angle of drive, kicks it in, by Rush.
• 1:56:25
  On the rebound is Lewis of the islanders,
• 1:56:27
  shoots it ahead for Saint Laurent,
• 1:56:29
  he moves to center, he's up across the Ranger line,
• 1:56:32
  looks to pull the spring, got a back pass for Lewis,
• 1:56:34
  he loses control, it's cleared up by Butler,
• 1:56:37
  Leeds Kowski, and across the line,
• 1:56:39
  and a whistle for an offside, and the bring it back.
• 1:56:42
  Rangers offside, and the bring it back,
• 1:56:45
  face off coming up inside the Ranger blue line,
• 1:56:48
  two line pass for Kowski, bringing it back,
• 1:56:51
  and so they'll face it off.
• 1:56:53
  18-42 remaining, third period, Rangers lead 2-0,
• 1:56:56
  and the second period goes by Brad Park and Keith Kowski.
• 1:57:00
  Now, born and Kachuk will go out this draw,
• 1:57:03
  controlled by Beverly, half-time to go,
• 1:57:06
  but they are in the
• 1:57:16
  rest of the punt, but looks to clear,
• 1:57:27
  cannot get it by Faber, into the slot,
• 1:57:32
  Sanderson, he is struck by a heart and a pedaling call,
• 1:57:36
  and they hold him to the ragger,
• 1:57:39
  this one, that time it was, well,
• 1:57:41
  a perfect night for it with the Oscars,
• 1:57:44
  and so, he's going to tug at it with his stick,
• 1:57:46
  and as soon as Derrick felt that stick,
• 1:57:47
  he knows how to react to the situation,
• 1:57:49
  and he reacted well.
• 1:57:50
  I would expect that someone opening an up and up tonight
• 1:57:55
  will have an enteric Sanderson.
• 1:57:56
  It is Hartford, and he's coming up from the right side,
• 1:58:03
  and the Rangers have an advantage,
• 1:58:06
  but Tell steps off, Pickers walk to the right,
• 1:58:08
  and Hartford comes out.
• 1:58:10
  Here's the face between Ratel and West Coast,
• 1:58:17
  set to the foreboard,
• 1:58:19
  put in control, and clears it all the way down,
• 1:58:22
  for the out of the silver,
• 1:58:23
  and the Rangers have to regroup on this power play.
• 1:58:26
  Greshner moving back behind his net,

  it comes in front,
• 1:58:43
  kicked aside by Rush, and cleared by West Coast,

  Greshner and Chopa back forward,
• 1:58:52
  it's a shock and a cut down,

  Greshner takes a minute fifteen minutes,
• 1:58:54

• 1:59:15
  loses control,
• 1:59:16
  Ratel works it free though,
• 1:59:17
  cuts to the side of it,
• 1:59:18
  and a wrap around the set,

  brinks to his right,
• 1:59:35
  drops it for Ratel inside the out of the line,
• 1:59:36
  a flip on the left for Vickers,
• 1:59:37
  Vickers shoots one,
• 1:59:38
  stick save made,
• 1:59:39
  rebound Joba,
• 1:59:40
  knocked aside by Marshall,
• 1:59:41
  Joba sent flying,
• 1:59:42
  able to get it out nevertheless,

  breaks the slap,

  knocked away by Henning,

• 2:00:09
  makes the turn on Greshner,

  it is played by Greshner,
• 2:00:13
  penalty has expired as Hock returns,

  And Hart took it on the top of the head.
• 2:05:21
  He got clobbered by either a Ranger jumping off or back on the
• 2:05:25
  bench. I saw Vickers coming off and Irvin heading back to the
• 2:05:28
  bench. They both have the sticks up high and it was total
• 2:05:31
  of it all.
• 2:05:33
  Part on top of the head and they're looking for hot for blood
• 2:05:36
  right now on hot said to get the five minute penalty but there
• 2:05:39
  isn't any there. Harris already took the one look.
• 2:05:42
  Urban was man. He was on the way into the door when it's a
• 2:05:46
  hot head to stick up in the air up in the air and his stick came

  island were going to the power play scored by a house.
• 2:05:58
  But the first ever playoff.
• 2:06:03
  It's due to one.
• 2:06:06
  I don't know.
• 2:06:08
  Sanderson.
• 2:06:10
  It's all the way down.
• 2:06:12
  Gresham backboard whites it around the board.
• 2:06:15
  But it's not.
• 2:06:17
  With the.
• 2:06:20
  Center.
• 2:06:22
  I guess.
• 2:06:24
  Alive loses.
• 2:06:26
  Drunk.
• 2:06:28
  Through it is back.

  The.
• 2:06:33
  And.
• 2:06:35
  But.
• 2:06:37
  Offside.
• 2:06:39
  You know most men's hairsprays look fine but how do they feel.
• 2:06:42
  You'll find that most of them make your hair feel wet when
• 2:06:45
  you're spray them on but by Thomas drive three is different.
• 2:06:49
  It is the only leading hairspray that goes on almost dry and
• 2:06:52
  when they do dry most hairsprays make your hair feel
• 2:06:55
  stiff.
• 2:06:56
  But by Thomas drive three your hair feels softer not
• 2:06:59
  nearly as stiff by Thomas drive three.
• 2:07:02
  The hairspray that feels as good as it looks on the face
• 2:07:05
  out of the shooting left side of chocolate run whites it
• 2:07:08
  around the board kept in by John Puckman at the right
• 2:07:10
  point.
• 2:07:11
  Bobbitt by Sanderson dumps it back behind document
• 2:07:13
  greasy there flips up front door and it's not a
• 2:07:15
  big saving of duty made by chocolate on the rebound
• 2:07:18
  it's better to hit the Sanderson at center puts on the
• 2:07:20
  brakes as he's met by John Puckman the back masses
• 2:07:23
  of the rock people are not.
• 2:07:26
  All the way down we have the medicine remaining on the
• 2:07:28
  other side of the 11 55 remaining third period
• 2:07:32
  Rangers lead a two to one of course of playoff hockey

  we can't go to overtime Dennis Puckman starts up
• 2:07:38
  ahead of goes to center ice to do it right wing

  regroup this power play for the others now flips it
• 2:07:54
  on the right wing for Billy Harris but he over
• 2:07:56

• 2:08:01
  going John Puckman is back for just 25 seconds on

  across

  right
• 2:14:49
  He's checked there by Parker Nux at his side and Rotel takes and shoots it out of his own.
• 2:14:54
  At center it is Lewis. Lewis throws it ahead.
• 2:14:57
  Parker accepts, leads Rotel. Rotel on across the arm of the line.
• 2:15:00
  Lewis is controlled. Vickers free games.
• 2:15:02
  Price to center but it's broken up by Marshall who sends to Bruin at center.
• 2:15:06
  Bruin is up across the range of line.
• 2:15:08
  Bruin stick handles in. Back pass, then a return.
• 2:15:11
  Bruin turning onto the defense.
• 2:15:13
  Shoots point at one rock away.
• 2:15:15
  Rotel takes it away from Westfall and sends to center.
• 2:15:19
  Close call for the Rangers right there.
• 2:15:21
  Marotte throws in.
• 2:15:23
  A bloop to the right of West.
• 2:15:25
  Six and a half remaining third period and we're tied at two.
• 2:15:28
  Now here is Gillies up to center.
• 2:15:30
  Gillies up to the range of line. Looks to flip the league.
• 2:15:33
  He shoots. Scores!
• 2:15:35
  Clark Gillies has put the out of the top three to two.
• 2:15:40
  A breakdown of the Ranger defense of Marotte and Greshner.
• 2:15:44
  Gillies is putting right through and this game is completely turned around.
• 2:15:48
  Gallagher's taking control of the hockey game.
• 2:15:51
  Hustling. Gillies doing that on sheer hustle.
• 2:15:54
  A puck bouncing on Greshner between the two of them.
• 2:15:57
  Greshner trying to poke it out and it's Gillies in the chest.
• 2:16:00
  Drop down behind Greshner and Gillies going in that direction.
• 2:16:03
  He's jockeling with a great shot to the corner.
• 2:16:05
  Eddie Tocquement who have been so brilliant has things turned around.
• 2:16:11
  Only one goal can be called.
• 2:16:14
  Eddie's fault when he gambled it came out and it just did not work with John Mottman
• 2:16:19
  able to get to the puck after it took a tricky hunt.
• 2:16:22
  And now he's beaten out a breakaway by Gillies.
• 2:16:24
  The goal by John Mottman assisted by McFiddler and Marshall at 11-51.
• 2:16:28
  Now Gillies from Westmore and Lewis at 13-30.
• 2:16:32
  Out of his three, Rangers two and a tremendous turnaround.
• 2:16:36
  Off the base, Rangers shoot in. Heart bang behind the out of the net.
• 2:16:40
  Whips it around the board, kept it by the rock.
• 2:16:42
  Sends to the corner to Ervin.
• 2:16:43
  Ervin looks to set up for a stentosky and bump it.
• 2:16:45
  It's broken up by Dennis Pockman.
• 2:16:46
  Ahead it goes to the right wing, Nystrom.
• 2:16:48
  Nystrom up to center.
• 2:16:49
  Back hands it is.
• 2:16:50
  Left side of Tocquement.
• 2:16:51
  Eddie makes the stick stump.
• 2:16:53
  Loses on a stick check out of St. Laurent.
• 2:16:55
  Gets it over to Howitt behind the Ranger.
• 2:16:57
  Goal run back to St. Laurent in the corner.
• 2:16:59
  He shoots one cross-hice.
• 2:17:00
  That is patted down by Ervin.
• 2:17:02
  Now Ervin has the stick over the shoulder so we get a whistle.
• 2:17:05
  And play is called and both firms now make blind changes.
• 2:17:08
  You know only Eastern has air shuttle service to Boston and Washington.
• 2:17:12
  Leaving for Boston every hour on the hour from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• 2:17:17
  and to Washington from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
• 2:17:20
  You can board the air shuttle at LaGladiate
• 2:17:22
  and be guaranteed a seat with no advance reservation.
• 2:17:26
  And from Newark, Eastern has a convenient schedule of
• 2:17:29
  reserved seat non-stop service to Boston and Washington.
• 2:17:32
  For reservations from Newark to Boston or Washington,
• 2:17:35
  call the travel specialist or travel agent or call Eastern the wing of that.
• 2:17:41
  Face off inside the Ranger line controlled by Park.
• 2:17:44
  Now all the pressure is on the New York Rangers.
• 2:17:48
  They trail the New York Islanders here three to two.
• 2:17:50
  Park to Beverly, shoots it across the end of the line.
• 2:17:53
  Dennis Popman takes and flicks it out to center.
• 2:17:55
  Whistle out of the play and they get an offside call,
• 2:17:59
  the late offside call that time and they bring it back face off
• 2:18:02
  outside the islander blue line.
• 2:18:05
  And, Ma, the Islanders have the momentum.
• 2:18:07
  They knew they had to win a game here at the Garden.
• 2:18:09
  They've taken control of the hockey game playing an outstanding third period.
• 2:18:13
  Now everything on the Rangers and the Islanders with that momentum.
• 2:18:17
  By 45 remaining third period on the face off, Park comes in.
• 2:18:21
  The center is to Gillies.
• 2:18:23
  His pass broken up by Sanderson and taken by Favre and sends to the end of the line.
• 2:18:28
  Popman looks to clear and accepted by Sanderson
• 2:18:30
  and the North
• 2:18:34
  and we get a whistle for a face off.
• 2:18:40
  Face off to the right side of Glenn Resch.
• 2:18:43
  Well, before the game, a lot of people were discussing, including ourselves,
• 2:18:48
  the importance of the first goal as it turns out.
• 2:18:51
  It really did not matter.
• 2:18:52
  Brad Park scored it in the second period.
• 2:18:54
  The importance of the second goal did not matter either.
• 2:18:57
  Now, it was Murkowski in the second period to get the Rangers a 2-0 lead on the Islanders.
• 2:19:03
  Well, another safe act from all season long has come up with three here in the third
• 2:19:08
  and in dramatic fashion have taken the lead 3-2.
• 2:19:11
  And, Ma, that snicked in first goal that the Islanders got early in the period, the big one.
• 2:19:15
  The Rangers failed on a power play.
• 2:19:17
  The Islanders succeeded off the face off.
• 2:19:19
  It's sent to the front corner, picked up by Drew and the Islanders, loses control.
• 2:19:23
  Then it's recovered by Westmore and he shoots it out of the zone.
• 2:19:26
  The Islanders now in a defensive shell.
• 2:19:28
  Reschner back forward and Ranger West shoots it to center.
• 2:19:31
  Westmore in the center, Winks for Drew and a move onside, stick him through.
• 2:19:34
  Drops to Breaker to the fence but Morant stick checks it away.
• 2:19:37
  Morant circles. His pass, innocent by Westmore.
• 2:19:40
  He keeps doing.
• 2:19:41
  Broads, Bunk by Reschner, sent to the boards.
• 2:19:43
  Back behind the Ranger, Goli.
• 2:19:44
  Tremendous tricking by the Islanders here.
• 2:19:46
  Finally, Joe Back comes up with it.
• 2:19:47
  Ahead it goes to the return of Center.
• 2:19:49
  Leads Victor as a breaker.
• 2:19:50
  Guts and shoots.
• 2:19:51
  And a save by Resch.
• 2:19:52
  Beautiful save by Resch.
• 2:19:54
  Coming up, five feet to cut down the angle.
• 2:19:57
  Did not come out that much but just enough to stop that drive and give Vickers very little to shoot at.
• 2:20:03
  And he covers up to stop Lear.
• 2:20:05
  Great pass by Jean Ratel, sending Vickers in.
• 2:20:07
  Pull that shot.
• 2:20:08
  And as you can see, one off Resch was there.
• 2:20:11
  He just stood his ground.
• 2:20:12
  Vickers goes next.
• 2:20:13
  Mecham, the rebound just came to Resch's right.
• 2:20:17
  Vickers unable to get his stick on that rebound.
• 2:20:20
  The Tigers go with the return of Center for Vickers and Joe Back.
• 2:20:24
  Back west for Ratel on the space off.
• 2:20:26
  It's loose at the circle.
• 2:20:28
  Worked free now by Druid.
• 2:20:30
  Druid moving around the far side.
• 2:20:32
  Sends to the end of the park.
• 2:20:33
  Then he whips it around the boards for Hart.
• 2:20:35
  Hart handed by Joe Back.
• 2:20:36
  Spun around by Joe Back.
• 2:20:37
  Ratel takes it away.
• 2:20:38
  Ratel checked off the brush.
• 2:20:40
  And the loose puck is dealt by Berisi.
• 2:20:42
  Ahead for Dennis Putt.
• 2:20:43
  Then moving into Center.
• 2:20:44
  As Berisi on the left.
• 2:20:45
  Sticks across the ring door.
• 2:20:46
  A cut for the drive.
• 2:20:47
  Watched by Port.
• 2:20:48
  And takes the rebound.
• 2:20:50
  Both 20 remaining birds.
• 2:20:51
  Vickers down.
• 2:20:52
  Vickers, Astro Babbles, to Center.
• 2:20:54
  Joe Back with the out of the line.
• 2:20:55
  Stuck shot.
• 2:20:56
  Just behind.
• 2:20:57
  Decrease for the wind line.
• 2:20:58
  Bounce off the board.
• 2:20:59
  Bounces in front.
• 2:21:00
  And Resch with a chance to go down.
• 2:21:02
  And Resch with that good recovery on the shot.
• 2:21:05
  Joe Back's shot went through.
• 2:21:07
  However, it missed the net.
• 2:21:09
  It bounced back.
• 2:21:10
  Hit the netting and came out in front.
• 2:21:11
  The rest of the people are getting to it before Joe Back came in.
• 2:21:14
  And he rages starting to pick up the people a little bit.
• 2:21:17
  Gable, Brant, this is Joe and Jerry Butler throughout the hockey game on the right wing.
• 2:21:20
  When Stemtosky and Irvin now needs to go.
• 2:21:23
  And Kurt Middleton out on the right wing.
• 2:21:25
  Middleton with 14 seconds.
• 2:21:27
  They're running for a period.
• 2:21:29
  Rangers trailing 3-2 after leading 2-0.
• 2:21:33
  Stemtosky on this faceoff against St. Laurent.
• 2:21:36
  From the left side.
• 2:21:37
  A out of the goal.
• 2:21:38
  Tedra Glenn Resch.
• 2:21:39
  Off the ground.
• 2:21:40
  Stuck by a hard netter corner.
• 2:21:42
  Quick press.
• 2:21:43
  Stemtosky winds it around the board.
• 2:21:45
  Off the stick of Howard and carries it all the way down.
• 2:21:48
  And trucking it off the stump.
• 2:21:49
  And stares it on the stick of Laurent.
• 2:21:51
  Now Laurent flips it ahead to Stemtosky.
• 2:21:53
  He's checked right by a front.
• 2:21:55
  And he throws it in across the outer wall.
• 2:21:57
  Howard there.
• 2:21:58
  Middleton chases here.
• 2:21:59
  But Howard turned around.
• 2:22:00
  Comes to the goal line.
• 2:22:01
  Banks it off to the Lord.
• 2:22:02
  Kept it back like that.
• 2:22:03
  This man to the corner.
• 2:22:04
  Blocked the flex to the corner.
• 2:22:05
  Stemtosky there.
• 2:22:06
  Rills it into the corner.
• 2:22:07
  Irvin can make it a stick out.
• 2:22:08
  Comes to the left of the board.
• 2:22:09
  This time it is deflected by the stick of it.
• 2:22:11
  Loose back behind the net.
• 2:22:13
  And it's picked up by Howard.
• 2:22:14
  Back past the puffin.
• 2:22:15
  Back to Howard.
• 2:22:16
  And Howard then clears it.
• 2:22:17
  A good shot over the outstretched arm of Greshner all the way down.
• 2:22:21
  Across the goal line of the right-hander.
• 2:22:24
  Looking for icing but no icing.
• 2:22:26
  And Laurent clears it back to central Stemtosky.
• 2:22:28
  And across the island line.
• 2:22:30
  Brakes for the near side.
• 2:22:31
  Back past now for Greshner.
• 2:22:32
  Cross-hander goes to the left-hand corner.
• 2:22:34
  But Greshner is sliding.
• 2:22:36
  Blocked by Birdmarcher.
• 2:22:37
  Cannons it out of the center.
• 2:22:38
  315 landing.
• 2:22:39
  Pure kill it.
• 2:22:40
  And the Rangers down 3-2.
• 2:22:42
  Here's Greshner around Stewart.
• 2:22:43
  That's right.
• 2:22:44
  The proven edge.
• 2:22:45
  Maksa Stemtosky comes in.
• 2:22:46
  A good play.
• 2:22:47
  And a penalty upcoming.
• 2:22:48
  They got the out of this.
• 2:22:49
  And a hooking penalty on Stewart.
• 2:22:51
  Gleaming Stemtosky flying.
• 2:22:54
  And the out of this.
• 2:22:55
  Arguing the call.
• 2:22:56
  A good play.
• 2:22:57
  Now the two long breakers.
• 2:22:59
  They will have the man advantage.
• 2:23:00
  And the faceoff coming up in line with the ice.
• 2:23:03
  And Rod Greshner set up the play.
• 2:23:05
  And as back of Stemtosky.
• 2:23:07
  And threw the puck between his own legs.
• 2:23:09
  The hitch-diver Stemto was going to go in.
• 2:23:11
  He went back in and shot.
• 2:23:12
  Ralph Stewart with the hook from behind.
• 2:23:15
  Now to the hook-out.
• 2:23:17
  Stewart on 16-55.
• 2:23:20
  Faceoff coming up.
• 2:23:22
  Left side.
• 2:23:23
  And the out of the net.
• 2:23:25
  Parkinson Stemtosky.
• 2:23:27
  Storing for the Rangers in the second.
• 2:23:29
  They give him a turn off the green.
• 2:23:30
  And here with the red Billy Henderson.
• 2:23:32
  A good play.
• 2:23:33
  George Puppen.
• 2:23:34
  And the break away.
• 2:23:35
  By Clark Gillies.
• 2:23:37
  The out of the three.
• 2:23:38
  Rangers 2-3.
• 2:23:39
  05.
• 2:23:40
  Left.
• 2:23:41
  And the third.
• 2:23:42
  Ritz-Hell and Westphal would go on this faceoff.
• 2:23:45
  Circle to the left side of one red.
• 2:23:48
  It looks stronger and stronger as this game has progressed.
• 2:23:53
  Here's the face.
• 2:23:54
  And from the tennis puck.
• 2:23:56
  And the left side of Chuck and then he makes the six.
• 2:23:59
  Not played it off the board.
• 2:24:00
  Gilberto is back for it now.
• 2:24:02
  And the Rangers would have to regroup this foul play.
• 2:24:05
  Here's Gilberto.
• 2:24:06
  Lady Ritz-Hell.
• 2:24:07
  He's across the red line with Vickers.
• 2:24:09
  And he's just nailed it in the line.
• 2:24:11
  Back in the boost for Ritz-Hell.
• 2:24:12
  It's off the line.
• 2:24:13
  He's faced with a puck in the corner.
• 2:24:14
  Fabric crashing him on the board.
• 2:24:16
  But Marshall.
• 2:24:17
  Everett controls.
• 2:24:18
  Out to the point.
• 2:24:19
  Gilberto.
• 2:24:20
  Left by Westphal.
• 2:24:21
  And here he goes for the tower.
• 2:24:22
  He handles it in the slot.
• 2:24:23
  But Bruce is controlled.
• 2:24:24
  And Westphal is able to hear it.
• 2:24:25
  All the way down on it.
• 2:24:26
  Ritz-Hell looking to set up for an equal shot.
• 2:24:29
  Lost control.
• 2:24:30
  And the Rangers again have to start the game.
• 2:24:32
  Pass to center.
• 2:24:33
  Ritz-Hell is hit and dunk by Marshall.
• 2:24:34
  And Westphal on the slider.
• 2:24:35
  Head across.
• 2:24:36
  Going to line.
• 2:24:37
  Heading his back forward.
• 2:24:38
  And they look at Gilberto.
• 2:24:39
  He pretty looks to start in front of the Westphal.
• 2:24:41
  In the center by Gilberto.
• 2:24:42
  Rangers are really building up on this power play attack.
• 2:24:45
  Gilberto heads to the pocket center.
• 2:24:47
  And it's remaining on the middle.
• 2:24:48
  And that went across the under the line.
• 2:24:50
  He comes into the corner.
• 2:24:51
  Stands in front.
• 2:24:52
  Went to the point.
• 2:24:53
  Gilberto has enough.
• 2:24:54
  He shoots.
• 2:24:55
  Ritz-Hell has a stick in it in front.
• 2:24:57
  But Rush able to follow the shot.
• 2:24:58
  Can't come up with a stick save.
• 2:25:00
  And the item is clear once again.
• 2:25:02
  Gilberto back forward.
• 2:25:03
  Now is the item.
• 2:25:04
  A strange arm to go.
• 2:25:05
  Westphal is hitting the putt.
• 2:25:06
  Gilberto center.
• 2:25:07
  He's up to the under the line.
• 2:25:08
  He comes to the right.
• 2:25:09
  Back past the paramedic.
• 2:25:10
  Went to the right.
• 2:25:11
  Went to the front.
• 2:25:12
  Went to the front.
• 2:25:13
  He shoots.
• 2:25:14
  But so it may hit by Ritz.
• 2:25:15
  And he holds on.
• 2:25:16
  Vickers take it out of the play.
• 2:25:17
  Beautiful.
• 2:25:18
  That is putt then.
• 2:25:19
  Vickers started out in front of Rush.
• 2:25:20
  And putt then out of it.
• 2:25:21
  Back behind the net.
• 2:25:22
  As that shot was putt out of the air by Rush.
• 2:25:23
  And he just wrote him out.
• 2:25:24
  I've been doing the wise thing.
• 2:25:25
  Letting Rush take Brad's off one on one.
• 2:25:26
  And he's got the
• 2:25:35
  deep shot.
• 2:25:38
  And Rush was able to handle it.
• 2:25:40
  Rush coming up with some super sails.
• 2:25:41
  The one under shot by Gilberto.
• 2:25:42
  Which was deflected by Ritzel.
• 2:25:43
  Rush still able to get a putt on it.
• 2:25:44
  Time running down on the New York Rangers.
• 2:25:45
  40 seconds.
• 2:25:46
  A minute 45 remaining third period.
• 2:25:47
  Ritter to the omnibus on top.
• 2:25:48
  Westphal and Henning return now.
• 2:25:49
  An attempt to kill off the
• 2:26:01
  Ritzel.
• 2:26:05
  Rangers go in Stankowski at center for Irvin at Middleton Park.
• 2:26:10
  And Gilberto back on the faceoff.
• 2:26:11
  And who the hell is in clear by Henning.
• 2:26:12
  The leg pulled the ice.
• 2:26:13
  Gilberto back forward.
• 2:26:14
  Gilberto picks it up behind the goal line.
• 2:26:15
  And now starts up.
• 2:26:16
  Accelerates to center.
• 2:26:17
  And drop for Stankowski.
• 2:26:18
  Stemmis whips it in.
• 2:26:19
  Well Irvin goes in with a try for this block.
• 2:26:20
  Westphal takes it.
• 2:26:21
  And clears it out of the zone.
• 2:26:22
  A minute 25 remaining.
• 2:26:23
  And it's a putt.
• 2:26:24
  And it's a putt.
• 2:26:25
  And it's a putt.
• 2:26:26
  And it's a putt.
• 2:26:27
  And it's a putt.
• 2:26:28
  And it's a putt.
• 2:26:29
  And it's a putt.
• 2:26:30
  And it's a putt.
• 2:26:31
  And it's a putt.
• 2:26:32
  That's in.
• 2:26:33
  Middleton Park 뭘ches it in and promise that the
• 2:26:35
  strike front70th mental Coxley has the point moving
• 2:26:35
  in center.
• 2:26:36
  RC-Stankowski and lunch at using it.
• 2:26:39
  Garry Westphal.
• 2:26:40
  Good.
• 2:26:41
  Mark back for five seconds.
• 2:26:42
  At the end of the corner.
• 2:26:45
  Now yoga for corona Baru Song Varga batta.
• 2:26:56
  Chang connected style.
• 2:26:57
  Two seconds now, on the ropes to it, probably.
• 2:27:00
  And Eddie Jacoma will be coming out of the cage pretty soon.
• 2:27:03
  Soon as the Rangers penetrate into Island Durant,
• 2:27:06
  I'm sure you'll see Jacoma make a dash for the bench,
• 2:27:09
  and he will practice putting on a substitute.
• 2:27:11
  Stepper anticipating a pass from off going offside on the play.
• 2:27:15
  Faceoff coming up now between Stupkowski and Grillen.
• 2:27:20
  The Islanders looking for full-on production
• 2:27:22
  by beating the Rangers at this opening game
• 2:27:24
  here at Madison Square Garden.
• 2:27:27
  They've made it three to two, and they can't
• 2:27:29
  put in too much of a deficit to take that lead.
• 2:27:33
  Not an easy task, particularly in a playoff game.
• 2:27:38
  Rangers were in a defensive shell most of the way.
• 2:27:40
  Peshter on the face control.
• 2:27:42
  Stewart has returned.
• 2:27:44
  Office Stupkowski shoots it.
• 2:27:45
  Jacoma has flattened.
• 2:27:47
  Extra full on as Samuelson comes on.
• 2:27:49
  Huck is close in the corner and out on the ice.
• 2:27:51
  Embed up for the Rangers.
• 2:27:52
  Not as much, but shoots it ahead to center.
• 2:27:54
  It is right by the rock.
• 2:27:55
  45 seconds remaining, a lead from Eddard,
• 2:27:57
  but across the out of the line.
• 2:27:58
  He cuts for this one.
• 2:27:59
  He is pumped to the ice by Puckbent.
• 2:28:01
  Islanders take third.
• 2:28:02
  Hit the rubber out of Shunner.
• 2:28:03
  Safe fade.
• 2:28:04
  Rebound.
• 2:28:05
  It's a crash from the board.
• 2:28:06
  This shot sticks aside.
• 2:28:07
  Sanderson on the rebound.
• 2:28:08
  Spice it from the clock to Stupkowski.
• 2:28:09
  But it's locked away.
• 2:28:10
  It comes back to the board.
• 2:28:11
  Fresh from tank control.
• 2:28:12
  As well it does, shoots it out to center.
• 2:28:14
  Race for the puck.
• 2:28:15
  That is Puckbent.
• 2:28:16
  Each question cuts it across the range of eye.
• 2:28:18
  Angle drive is fine.
• 2:28:19
  Two of the engines.
• 2:28:20
  That's 20 seconds remaining.
• 2:28:21
  Grillen after it.
• 2:28:22
  Grillen is shot from the angle.
• 2:28:23
  It's locked away from Stupkowski.
• 2:28:25
  The race is back for Hamlin.
• 2:28:26
  And all with Stupkowski.
• 2:28:27
  Schneller comes up with it.
• 2:28:28
  Sanderson hits the center.
• 2:28:29
  Dennis Watson intercepts.
• 2:28:30
  15 seconds.
• 2:28:31
  Puckbent shoots Eddard.
• 2:28:32
  From the whistle for an offside against the Islanders.
• 2:28:34
  And they bring it back.
• 2:28:36
  And Leon Stickel, the linesman on the play is calling a face off
• 2:28:39
  all the way back in the Islanders zone.
• 2:28:41
  Calling it a deliberate offside.
• 2:28:43
  On Dennis Puckbent.
• 2:28:44
  And the Islanders are furious coming out to argue that play with Stickel.
• 2:28:47
  Had it not been Nicole that way, the face off would have been a center ice.
• 2:28:51
  And if it's not set up to stage with 12 seconds left, the Rangers will have to face off to
• 2:28:55
  the right.
• 2:28:56
  Upland rest deep in island territory.
• 2:28:59
  12 seconds remaining.
• 2:29:01
  Face off.
• 2:29:02
  Upcoming.
• 2:29:03
  Islanders continue to argue that deliberate offside by linesman Stickel.
• 2:29:09
  Islander Captain Eddie Westphal continues the discussion now with Montgomery Willie
• 2:29:16
  Harris.
• 2:29:17
  Big face off now deep in.
• 2:29:18
  Islander ice.
• 2:29:19
  Rangers have pulled Chalkamon.
• 2:29:21
  They have the empty net.
• 2:29:22
  The extra forward is on.
• 2:29:24
  It's Ratel, Vickers, Fairburn, Sanderson.
• 2:29:28
  Burke and JoBeth on ice for the Rangers.
• 2:29:32
  And then a Westphal and Ratel on the draw.
• 2:29:36
  It has been a tremendous game for Eddie Westphal.
• 2:29:39
  3-2.
• 2:29:41
  The Islanders on top.
• 2:29:43
  Both clubs talking it over now.
• 2:29:45
  George Al Auburn has pulled Parisi and Drew it over to the bench to give instructions.
• 2:29:56
  We're waiting for face off now.
• 2:29:58
  Willie Harris comes over to say, hey, let's play hockey.
• 2:30:03
  Auburn talking with Harris now.
• 2:30:05
  Finally Parisi has back.
• 2:30:07
  Throw the face off circle.
• 2:30:10
  And now we're just about set.
• 2:30:12
  Westphal against Ratel on this throw.
• 2:30:14
  Bruce at the circle.
• 2:30:16
  Sterling controlled by Poppins.
• 2:30:18
  Cash player.
• 2:30:19
  And he does.
• 2:30:20
  To the middle side.
• 2:30:21
  And it slips out of the zone.
• 2:30:22
  The flex inner vader out of the bench.
• 2:30:25
  And we have a face off coming up now.
• 2:30:27
  Outside the out of the blue line with just five seconds left.
• 2:30:31
  The Islanders right now arguing that the Rangers should have been called from face off all the way down.
• 2:30:36
  I think that's immaterial now.
• 2:30:37
  Five seconds remaining.
• 2:30:38
  And the Islanders really are playing a super game.
• 2:30:41
  Super defensively, ma.
• 2:30:42
  They have kept the Rangers away from good scoring opportunities throughout this territory.
• 2:30:46
  Westphal on the face now with Joe Banner.
• 2:30:49
  The idea with Joe Banner is that the hope is he can direct it toward grass.
• 2:30:54
  Although the face off is out deep.
• 2:30:56
  Lansman Hodges waves in on the face.
• 2:30:58
  And the person sent a rescue in place.
• 2:31:00
  He pays the throw in from the middle line.
• 2:31:02
  He goes wide.
• 2:31:03
  And the desert side of the bench in.
• 2:31:05
  The rejected Ranger club leaves the ice.
• 2:31:08
  The Islanders come to the ice.
• 2:31:10
  They have each other.
• 2:31:12
  Steve Bickers just puts his stick down.
• 2:31:14
  Broken on the glass.
• 2:31:15
  Hit down below us.
• 2:31:16
  As the Rangers.
• 2:31:17
  Lamp the ice.
• 2:31:18
  The Outer is there as it makes on the Stanley Cup.
• 2:31:21
  And I tell you this.
• 2:31:23
  It has now come down to a such and death one game season.
• 2:31:27
  For the New York Rangers.
• 2:31:29
  And that season will stop.
• 2:31:31
  And I hope not conclude.
• 2:31:33
  And when I saw a cover of CM on Thursday night.
• 2:31:35
  And then back to the wall.
• 2:31:36
  One more game.
• 2:31:37
  The Islanders are spirited hockey club.
• 2:31:40
  They worked.
• 2:31:41
  They continued to work.
• 2:31:42
  They did not die when they were down by two goals.
• 2:31:44
  They came back strong.
• 2:31:45
  To win the hockey game.
• 2:31:47
  Preservedly so.
• 2:31:48
  What a terrible final.
• 2:31:49
  Out of this.
• 2:31:50
  Feet for the Rangers.
• 2:31:51
  Coming from behind.
• 2:31:52
  The Jumping Club has lost two in a three.
• 2:31:54
  One game to nothing.
• 2:31:55
  Right after this.
• 2:31:56
  From Schaeffer.
• 2:31:57
  Schaeffer is the one beer to have.
• 2:32:00
  Now here's a word from America's oldest lager beer.
• 2:32:04
  Hey Schaeffer.
• 2:32:05
  Give the one beer to have.
• 2:32:08
  When you haven't won the one.
• 2:32:13
  Did you know that the Schaeffer people are the oldest.
• 2:32:15
  The most experienced lager brewers in America.
• 2:32:18
  It takes experience to brew any kind of beer.
• 2:32:21
  And the best way to do it.
• 2:32:23
  Is to have a beer.
• 2:32:24
  It takes experience to brew any kind of beer.
• 2:32:27
  But it's taking a little bit more experience to brew Schaeffer.
• 2:32:30
  One beer is fine enough to give you a flavor that's never tasted.
• 2:32:34
  If you'd like to experience the result of all that brewing experience.
• 2:32:38
  All you gotta do is give a couple of frosty cold Schaeffers a try.
• 2:32:55
  Half an hour to Schaeffer brewing.
• 2:32:58
  New York.
• 2:32:59
  New York.
• 2:33:00
  Shots on goal on the third.
• 2:33:02
  Item is ten. Rangers seven. Rangers outshot the Adidas 31-25.
• 2:33:08
  The penalties on the third.
• 2:33:09
  Hartford set one three nine.
• 2:33:10
  Maratka interference in four twenty.
• 2:33:12
  Irvin for high sticking at seven oh three.
• 2:33:15
  And Stewart for a one at sixteen fifty five.
• 2:33:19
  Rangers brewing a two nothing lead on the goals by Perkins and Kelsky.
• 2:33:23
  On the second and third it was Harris on a foul play by Billy Harris and the Adidas.
• 2:33:27
  John Furtman on a wrap around with Schalke but out of position.
• 2:33:30
  And that first givings on a breakaway with the game winner at fifteen fifty.
• 2:33:35
  So what happens to Big Rapid on the post game show in just a moment.
• 2:33:40
  The Islanders jump in front.
• 2:33:42
  And game number one of our best two out of three.
• 2:33:45
  One game to nothing.
• 2:33:47
  They have now won three straight from the New York Rangers.
• 2:33:50
  And Furman had all kinds of problems with winning two straight here up the guard.
• 2:33:55
  Sunday night as it turns out was their first ever victory here at Up the Guard.
• 2:33:58
  Now they've come roaring back here with the three two come from behind win here.
• 2:34:03
  And they open up the playoffs the very first playoff game of all time for the New York Outers.
• 2:34:08
  And of course a memorable win.
• 2:34:10
  Three to two for final four.
• 2:34:12
  And among the cheering we've been hearing tonight.
• 2:34:15
  So the crowd is really enjoying themselves.
• 2:34:18
  Particularly the Islander portion of the crowd.
• 2:34:20
  And I would think a lot of these folks are just naturally cheerful.
• 2:34:23
  They'll probably wake up cheerful tomorrow.
• 2:34:25
  That is if they get a good night's sleep.
• 2:34:27
  And you know that it's hard to get if you happen to go to bed with a headache and can't sleep.
• 2:34:31
  The answer, exeferent PM.
• 2:34:33
  A nighttime pain reliever.
• 2:34:35
  Exeferent PM relieves headache and its tension helps you relax for a good night's sleep.
• 2:34:39
  So you should wake up feeling refreshed.
• 2:34:41
  Work through brightness.
• 2:34:43
  Of course you take exeferent PM only as directed.
• 2:34:45
  But imagine feeling that good in the morning even if you have a headache tonight.
• 2:34:50

  Final again, the Outlanders 3 for Rangers 2.
• 2:36:05
  The Madison Square Garden in New York.
• 2:36:07
  This is part of our movement with Sal Pacino.
• 2:36:09
  Now for the Post Game here as Sal.
• 2:36:11
  Thank you, Moav and the Islanders.
• 2:36:13
  A super victory for them.
• 2:36:14
  They came into this hockey game and they committed a series knowing they had to win one at the Garden.
• 2:36:19
  They've had trouble doing so.
• 2:36:21
  Rangers playing the Rangers for a win at a time before Sunday night here.
• 2:36:24
  And the beating of the Rangers Sunday night coming back with a big victory coming from behind
• 2:36:28
  with three big goals on the third period to win the hockey game 3-2.
• 2:36:33
  First period was a tight check-in game throughout.
• 2:36:37
  Moav goalscored, Rangers out shooting the Islanders 10-8.
• 2:36:40
  Penalty is Burt Marshall for tripping at 4-0-4.
• 2:36:43
  Teddy Irvin for fighting with...
• 2:36:46
  Teddy Irvin a fighting penalty, Gary Howard a fighting penalty, and Jerry Butler an elbow penalty.
• 2:36:51
  All in a safe play. That's coming in 10-48.
• 2:36:54
  JP Parisi a hooking penalty at 14-21.
• 2:36:57
  And the story in the hockey game, the Rangers inability to score on the power play.
• 2:37:01
  Eddie Westwell, the number 8 here in the Islanders,
• 2:37:04
  was a better penalty killer when he was with the Boston Brawlers.
• 2:37:07
  Just quite a super hockey game.
• 2:37:09
  He, Lorde Hedding, Dennis Brackman, the complete mallard of the facts.
• 2:37:13
  Glen Resch playing steady and goals throughout.
• 2:37:17
  Back to both teams with a plan goal scored.
• 2:37:19
  Only one questionable goal.
• 2:37:22
  That's the goal of tonight's hockey game up by Jean-Pierre Pouf.
• 2:37:25
  We'll get to that one in a minute.
• 2:37:27
  In the second period, a tight game continued.
• 2:37:30
  Brad Clark his first goal of the playoffs.
• 2:37:33
  Scored the first goal of the hockey game.
• 2:37:36
  Getting a face-off, Jean Retel winning a face-off.
• 2:37:39
  Throwing it back to Park.
• 2:37:40
  And all the way back, Roger Baer was hesitant whether to go for the puck or not.
• 2:37:45
  Did not. Clark took the shot.
• 2:37:47
  Dennis Potman pushing out the Steve Vickers in front of that.
• 2:37:50
  And it had a head-off for Dennis Potman as they originally had given the goal to Steve Vickers.
• 2:37:56
  But after I'm sure they, after hooking at the replay, I'm sure they saw that Dennis Potman had deflected it.
• 2:38:02
  And that the Rangers had won nothing.
• 2:38:04
  Peter Stupkowski at 19-25 on a play with the Islanders completely lapsed off.
• 2:38:09
  Clark carrying it center, giving it to Beverly who went over the blue line on the right side shot.
• 2:38:13
  The puck sail wide.
• 2:38:15
  Heron down the other side. Stupkowski coming down the left side.
• 2:38:18
  Fine. To the left of Resch who was moving over after cutting down the angle on Beverly.
• 2:38:23
  A beautiful shot by Stupkowski.
• 2:38:25
  Catching right inside the post and that tied the hockey.
• 2:38:28
  That put the Rangers ahead two to nothing.
• 2:38:30
  Second period ended that way.
• 2:38:31
  Penalties, Irvin and Lewis at 19-27 for high-sticking.
• 2:38:34
  Dennis Potman and the Islanders for tripping at 15-27.
• 2:38:37
  Glenn Resch, Roger Bear, both getting slashing penalties at 15-45.
• 2:38:42
  And while Dennis Potman was off, the Rangers had a four and three opportunity and weren't able to score.
• 2:38:47
  Resch with a couple of good saves.
• 2:38:49
  Second period, shots on goal.
• 2:38:51
  Rangers 14, Islanders 7.
• 2:38:53
  And the Rangers led after two by the score of two to nothing.
• 2:38:56
  In the third period, Jerry Hart went off for tripping at 139.
• 2:39:00
  And again, the Rangers failed to score on the power play.
• 2:39:03
  Gilles Moran went for it, the periods of four-twenty of the third period and that's when it started.
• 2:39:08
  Islanders with a couple of good opportunities.
• 2:39:11
  Finally with JP Parisi and Jude moving and they also played exceptionally well.
• 2:39:14
  Doing a lot of digging behind it.
• 2:39:16
  The puck drifting into the corner.
• 2:39:17
  Harris and Beverly battling.
• 2:39:19
  Harris coming out with the puck.
• 2:39:20
  With Parisi to the right of Jockerman.
• 2:39:22
  Harris just walked out.
• 2:39:24
  Deed once on Jockerman, put it up high.
• 2:39:26
  And that brought the Islanders to within one.
• 2:39:28
  That power play goal, the only power play goal of the game.
• 2:39:30
  And if you really look down at it, the Islanders were able to score on a power play.
• 2:39:34
  The Rangers were not.
• 2:39:36
  Then at 11.51, Philip McMillan to Burt Marshall.
• 2:39:40
  Burt Marshall dumping it in.
• 2:39:41
  A race for the puck.
• 2:39:43
  Derek Sanderson, John Potman in the race.
• 2:39:46
  Tachemac coming out, scrolling for it.
• 2:39:48
  Had a piece of it.
• 2:39:49
  However, it went behind the net.
• 2:39:50
  Potman was all alone.
• 2:39:51
  Picked it up, went around the net.
• 2:39:53
  Had an empty net to put it into.
• 2:39:55
  Tying the hockey game up two to two.
• 2:39:57
  And the momentum was all over the islanders.
• 2:39:59
  They had it.
• 2:40:00
  They were down two to nothing.
• 2:40:01
  And they picked up as the Rangers did in Atlanta on Friday night.
• 2:40:05
  Irvin picking up a penalty at 7.03.
• 2:40:07
  And Stewart for hooking at 16.55.
• 2:40:09
  But the big goal of Clark Gillies, assisted by Westball.
• 2:40:13
  And Lewis, the puck going into the Ranger and deflecting off.
• 2:40:17
  Greshner hitting Gillies in the chest.
• 2:40:19
  Gillies is bullying his way through.
• 2:40:20
  Morack and Greshner picked it up.
• 2:40:21
  And a beautiful shot.
• 2:40:22
  Beating Jockerman right inside the post on Jockerman's left side.
• 2:40:25
  The Islanders went 3-2.
• 2:40:27
  They went on to win a hard, poor hockey game.
• 2:40:30
  The Islanders had a strong third period to win it.
• 2:40:32
  And the Rangers had their backs against the wall.
• 2:40:34
  They have to go into Long Island, the National Coliseum,
• 2:40:37
  and win that game on Thursday night.
• 2:40:39
  Or it's an early ending for the scene at the New York Rangers.
• 2:40:42
  Stars awarded here for Clark Gillies.
• 2:40:44
  First star, Jean Potman.
• 2:40:45
  Second, Brent Pop.
• 2:40:46
  Third, I'd have to give Eddie Westball the first star.
• 2:40:48
  But a sixth on a winning goal in a super hockey game.
• 2:40:51
  Throw out.
• 2:40:52
  Shots on goal in the third period.
• 2:40:53
  The Islanders had 10.
• 2:40:54
  Rangers 7.
• 2:40:56
  The Islanders have a game of 31.
• 2:40:58
  The Islanders have 25.
• 2:41:00
  The score, the Islanders 3, the Rangers 2, and the
• 2:41:02
  Islanders take the lead in the best two or three series, one game to none.
• 2:41:06
  Other games in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs,
• 2:41:09
  the Boston Bruins falling all over the Chicago Black Bucks.
• 2:41:12
  And the Black Bucks have had injury problems throughout the season.
• 2:41:15
  Playing the season as playing a playoff,
• 2:41:18
  the first game of the playoffs, the way they play during a season.
• 2:41:21
  Not very good at all.
• 2:41:22
  Boston winning that 8-2.
• 2:41:23
  In fact, the Black Bucks, a strong favorite for first place in their division, ended up third.
• 2:41:29
  In Pittsburgh, with St. Louis jumping off into a 2-0 lead.
• 2:41:32
  They could not hold it.
• 2:41:33
  The Mellows high-scoring Penguins down.
• 2:41:35
  The Penguins ending up winning the hockey game 4-3.
• 2:41:38
  A later start out on the West Coast.
• 2:41:40
  Toronto is at L.A.
• 2:41:41
  Well, a bad night for the Knicks.
• 2:41:43
  Also, they traveled out to Houston for the opening game of their two-out-of-three series.
• 2:41:47
  Houston winning that one 99-84.
• 2:41:51
  Knicks led at the end of the first quarter,
• 2:41:53
  however, Houston taking a lead at the half by 7 at the end of three-quarters by 7,
• 2:41:57
  and finally winning by 15.
• 2:41:59
  Other NBA playoff games tonight.

• 2:42:08
  Kentucky at home, defeating Memphis 119-105,

• 2:42:17
  In baseball, a game heard earlier on WNEW at Shea.
• 2:42:20
  The Mets two, the Phillies one, a 600 for Tom Seaver and Dave Kingman
• 2:42:24
  in his first National League start for the New York Mets at a home run.
• 2:42:28
  At Cleveland, Cleveland Indians five, Yankees three,
• 2:42:31
  a successful managerial debut for Frank Robinson.
• 2:42:34
  He also hit a home run in his first at bat, Gaelart Curry,
• 2:42:38
  going all the way for the victory.
• 2:42:41
  Well, the New York Islanders, a surprising club throughout,
• 2:42:45
  and a club who worked all season long.
• 2:42:48
  Good defensive hockey club throughout the season, consistent, good here again.
• 2:42:53
  Keeping the Rangers two within two, going into the third period,
• 2:42:56
  scoring a power play goal, and then the goal by Jean Pappin,
• 2:42:59
  the final here again at the Garden.
• 2:43:02
  The Islanders three, the Rangers two,
• 2:43:04
  and that's back to the wall for the Rangers.
• 2:43:06
  They'll be at the Nassau Coliseum on Thursday night.
• 2:43:10
