1:33
The Islanders finished in sixth place in the New York City Hall of Fame in 1976.
1:43
As you can hear, this place is ready to go berserk.
1:58
The Islanders' Vancouver up best two out of three and it becomes Bob in the first game almost a must-game for the Islanders to win.
2:07
Many times we've said it during the regular season games that the outcome of a hockey game should well be determined by the first goal scored.
2:14
I really think that's going to be the result of this hockey game.
2:17
Whoever gets it in the next first is novel to go on to win it.
2:20
The Islanders must put a lot of pressure on the Vancouver defense and check quick.
2:25
Gregory is the veteran live-jumer, the lineman, Leon Stigl and Neil Armstrong.
2:31
Vancouver will start Chris Adler from the center with Ron Sevillebauer on the left and Don Lieber on the right.
2:37
Whether John Gould will start on right wing, Harold Smith and Mike Robidine defend.
2:42
Off the draw, Islanders control Davey Lewis to shoot it in as he does offside JP Parisi.
2:47
The Islanders starting their bet line.
2:49
Two junior at the center, JP Parisi on the left and Eddie Westfall on the right.
2:54
The Burt Markle and Davey Lewis back off.
2:56
The first down the clock was dropped on the ice. Immediately Vancouver went up the second spin to the Islanders.
3:01
They are going to check it very close.
3:03
They were even checking the defense.
3:05
Bob is covered in fact, and no team in the league.
3:08
I mean no team was covered on Vancouver.
3:11
On the Islanders this year off the draw, the big young defenseman Smith comes to center.
3:15
He's delving around the boards by Westfall.
3:17
Puck is taken away and shot in by Juann from right to left.
3:20
Adler is cool, flipped along the boards, taken away by Juann.
3:23
Rose is in front of Parisi. Parisi in the right corner fencing into the boards by Gould.
3:27
Can't control it, taken away by Robidine.
3:30
He winds it around the boards, kept in by Marshall on the right point.
3:33
Marshall blows it in back. Parisi in back of the net. Juann goes in front.
3:36
Parisi throws it across, Gould knocks.
3:38
Parisi taken by Lewis. The shot, one.
3:40
Parisi params up across the blue line and picked up by Burt Marshall.
3:44
Islanders have come off very strong.
3:46
A lead for Juann. Juann loses at the blue line, taken away now.
3:50
On the god by Gould, the shot is high.
3:53
And it's caught by Chico on the board by Marshall and thrown to center.
3:58
By Parisi. Here comes Parisi up the middle.
4:00
Parisi, a lead for Westfall, offside, closing in, ridden off the play by Kearns.
4:05
In the slot, Juann. He misses the pass.
4:07
Rebound left side, Juann sends him back to the cage after it's Parisi.
4:10
Parisi runs together along with Daly.
4:13
And the puck is knocked aside by Daly, taken away by Dennis Kearns.
4:16
Kearns heads up right. It's Rick Blythe.
4:19
Don Lieber. And now the puck is thrown in by Blythe.
4:23
And it's center-eyed to Chicky Walton.
4:26
Around his own at Davey Lewis.
4:28
And head for Parisi. Islanders haven't made a change yet.
4:30
Losing at the Vancouver line of Currys.
4:33
Here's a lead for Walton. He comes across one on two.
4:35
His dump pass, taken away by Nason.
4:37
Nason heads up right.
4:39
Nason now as their flight is breaking up and he's down the road.
4:42
Seller on Walton at the other end of the ice.
4:44
Seller on Walton having a go waiting for the islander there.
4:47
Seller on Nason down.
4:49
Seller on Nason down.
4:51
Seller on the good left.
4:53
Seller on the good right hand.
4:55
Seller on Nason down.
4:57
And now they're separated by Armstrong.
4:59
By Stickels.
5:01
Andre Seller on.
5:03
Not Mike Chicky Walton to the ice.
5:05
Walton initially had the better part of that go.
5:07
It started when Walton had made a drop pass and Seller on.
5:10
In the process of trying to ride him off the puck did not like the way
5:13
where Seller on got his stick up a little high.
5:15
And then he got it back on the ground.
5:17
Walton retaliated by crashing him one.
5:19
And then the two of them got out.
5:21
Walton got the initial best of it because he was putting Andy
5:23
Seller on in the face with his helmet.
5:25
And his bloody dandy snows pretty good.
5:27
But Seller on even the score very quickly.
5:29
With his fists.
5:31
And both of them are going to go on the penalty box.
5:33
Certainly five minutes each for fighting.
5:35
And it may be more.
5:37
Walton is getting five minutes for fighting.
5:39
At 140.
5:41
And he's getting five minutes for fighting.
5:43
Andy Seller will probably get the same.
5:45
Whoops.
5:47
Two minutes for high sticking and two minutes and five minutes for fighting.
5:49
So they say that.
5:51
Seller on started it.
5:53
With two minutes for high sticking and five for fighting.
5:55
So the owners will have to skate a man down for that first two minutes.
5:57
Of the penalty being served by Andy Seller on time of the penalty
5:59
at 140 and it should take them long.
6:01
For those uses to burn down and explode.
6:03
18 20.
6:05
The penalty is going to be a little bit more.
6:07
And then the penalty is going to be a little bit more.
6:09
And then the penalty is going to be a little bit more.
6:11
And then the penalty is going to be a little bit more.
6:13
18 20 left in the first third.
6:15
Right now there's a break in the action and there is no score.
6:17
It was offered to him.
6:19
And Walton Bob off as you said just for five.
6:21
Vancouver a very aggressive offensive team.
6:23
The Islanders will kill it with Westfall and Lauren Henning.
6:25
Heart and Denny Potman who makes his first appearance on the ice.
6:27
Islanders shoot it to the Vancouver line taken by Bob Daly.
6:29
Daly and Burns the defensive pair.
6:31
Now ahead on left wing for Lever comes across the line.
6:33
Not the way to get by heart.
6:35
And he sends it to the left wing.
6:37
And then the ball goes to the right wing.
6:39
And not the way to get by heart.
6:41
And he sends it off the board and into the crowd.
6:43
As he tried to set it down ice.
6:45
Clark Gillies has gone on to serve the first two minutes of the Salarot penalty.
6:49
And as you say that's most likely because of that.
6:51
It'll be a while until that line comes back out on the ice.
6:55
Salarot have only been on the ice maybe 30 seconds tops.
6:57
So on the Islanders we're trying to get the rest of that line change on.
7:01
When Ian Walton got into it.
7:03
Walton initially got the best of it but Andy evened it up.
7:05
Right off the draw.
7:07
And he's been hit by Burber God.
7:09
Good save by Tico. Kicks it out but not out of the zone.
7:11
Ken and China clear and he does the center.
7:13
After it is Daly.
7:15
Daly and Burns are on both defensemen.
7:19
Now the puck sent to center by Ben Hoover.
7:21
Taken away by Denny Popman.
7:23
He throws a right back in again all the way down.
7:25
The Islanders have killed off the first 35 seconds of the penalty.
7:27
The line is Dennis Burber God.
7:29
Rick Blight and John Lever.
7:31
A head now comes Burber God on his off wing and he plays it in.
7:35
Taken by Westfall he retreats behind the net.
7:37
Circles the net.
7:39
Wines it around and is picked up by Denny Popman.
7:41
And Denny can't control that it goes to center ice.
7:43
How many of these would have had a two on two rush?
7:45
Here is Burns.
7:47
A head now for Lever.
7:49
He plays it in for Rick Blight.
7:51
Knocked away by Henning.
7:53
He's loose behind the Islander net.
7:55
Hard plays him back to Denny Popman.
7:57
He winds around for Westfall and the Islander is too clear.
7:59
Here comes Westfall to center.
8:01
His pass is deflected.
8:03
Burns comes across.
8:05
Burns a tough pass.
8:07
Burber God with a bullet from the right side.
8:11
Off the drop pass and back to the lead one nothing.
8:13
A power play goal by Dennis Burber God.
8:17
He shot off bullet.
8:19
And anything rush ever saw it went clean as a whistle into the lower left hand side of the net.
8:25
Burber God let it go very quickly just inside that blue line after he received the drop pass.
8:31
Jerry Hart went down on his side to try to block the shot on a sliding save but it just rifled in.
8:37
And that might have been part of the problem why Chico never saw the puck.
8:41
As hard as going down to try to make a sliding save.
8:45
Burber God gets the goal.
8:47
That will be his first for this year's playoffs at 2.58.
8:49
The assist to Burns and Blight.
8:53
Now the teams are equal to close great as Salaroff.
8:59
And a rotten will serve the coincidental majors.
9:03
Off the draw Islanders lose at the blue line bang the other way by Vancouver taken away by Marshall.
9:07
Burke plays it in.
9:09
Caught by Ridley in goal Ridley in his first family cut game loses by the McCree.
9:13
And that's not the way and is taken by Ron Settleback.
9:17
He throws cross ice for a goal.
9:19
He goes into the Vancouver zone and a delay offside is called by Neil Armstrong.
9:23
There's a breaking action with the score.
9:25
Vancouver won and the Islanders nothing.
9:27
Comes out in front.
9:29
Rust clears and back to Jerry Hart.
9:31
Now out on the left side by Harris.
9:33
The light is on the ice and they can't get it out.
9:35
Hart has to pick it up back in his own end.
9:37
He throws cross ice to Denny Huntman.
9:39
Now a lead for 28 broken up in center ice and jumps away by Greigdale.
9:43
Taking away by Hart.
9:45
Jerry Hart will rush himself.
9:47
Harkens in the Vancouver line he plays it in.
9:49
After Harris and Gillies.
9:51
Think about Ozilson behind the net.
9:53
He's a good move to get around Harris and comes up ice.
9:55
Ozilson skates straight ahead.
9:57
A lead for Settleback broken up by Denny Huntman.
9:59
It curls into Islander in.
10:01
Taken by Denny Huntman behind his goal.
10:03
He sends it in front.
10:05
Picked away by Russia.
10:07
Ryan a lead on right wing to Hart.
10:09
Harris now drops it in.
10:11
After he goes Gillies and Grisdale.
10:13
Gillies keeps saying the shot he made behind.
10:15
Grisdale comes across on the right side.
10:17
And he plays it down deep in Islander in.
10:19
And he goes in the middle of the corner.
10:21
And Grisdale comes across on the right side.
10:25
Taken by Denny Huntman.
10:27
A head for Gillies.
10:29
Gillies hands is broken up in front by Gould.
10:31
And taken away by Chottie.
10:33
Here's a three on three.
10:35
Chottie a lead for Gillies.
10:37
Back to Brian.
10:39
Brian's circles go over the line.
10:41
A head for Denny Huntman.
10:43
He closes the shot.
10:45
He's the second rebound.
10:47
Chottie a lead for Gillies.
10:49
On the point Hart.
10:51
Hart on the left point.
10:53
He's caught in the shot.
10:55
Went live.
10:57
He out of the edge.
10:59
He over skates on the right course.
11:01
He's pinned by Chottie.
11:03
They'll get a face off in deep fanguva rights.
11:05
We've gone five minutes into this first pair of the hockey game.
11:09
The Ounners are yet to get a direct shot on goal.
11:13
At Ridley to give us some idea of the kind of defense that.
11:17
The Ounners are having a little problem coming out of their end.
11:21
A lot of pass have been off the mark.
11:23
Only because I think they're still a little bit on the tight side.
11:27
But that first goal, a power play goal scored by Van Kuber should take a lot of that edge off.
11:31
There for Gould got the first goal of the game.
11:33
Three minutes into it.
11:35
From Cron's and Blight.
11:37
And Van Kuber leads it.
11:39
I thought that Denny Huntman shot had Ridley beaten.
11:41
And he just went wide to the left side.
11:43
Highlanders have carried the plate of Van Kuber tonight.
11:45
There are really thumping bodies.
11:47
And he's a Van Kuber as the one up in the league.
11:49
Both teams have made a change.
11:51
Lauren Henning is centering the line out.
11:53
But Howard and Nicodem is centering off the penalty box.
11:55
Off the draw.
11:57
Howard along the board plays behind the Van Kuber net.
11:59
Take away by Robert Dye.
12:01
He sends out Smiths.
12:03
And Henning centerized the fans.
12:05
He's broken up in 10-up a blight by Marshall.
12:07
And thrown to Howard.
12:09
Gary comes across.
12:11
Tries to ride through Robert Dye as check.
12:13
And the fans are felt from Howard.
12:15
The body is kept in by Henning along the left board.
12:17
Now it's not the centerized by Bobby Lola.
12:19
He gets punished by Debbie Lewis.
12:21
And Lewis plays it right back in again.
12:23
The bodies are really flying.
12:25
There's going to be a thumping series between two teams
12:27
who will play the body.
12:29
The head and centerized now.
12:31
The fans onside.
12:33
And for a cloudy he is checkered behind.
12:35
And Lola.
12:37
And Nicodem comes the other way.
12:39
And Howard across the Van Kuber line.
12:41
Bobby winds it around the net on the right side.
12:43
Goes for it himself.
12:45
Plays it back to Howard.
12:47
Gary looks to center.
12:49
He's checked there.
12:51
Hit by Jaley.
12:53
And it's tied up for a faceoff.
12:55
As Howard and Smiths begin to strike.
12:57
There's a break in the end.
12:59
He scores.
13:01
Van Kuber won.
13:03
The Allen News number.
13:05
Big job now.
13:07
Deep bang for Rick.
13:09
He's just too big for it.
13:11
The pass thrown by Jenny Poppins.
13:13
A lot quiet and hard let go of the Blazing Bullets.
13:15
And it went in.
13:17
Now it may have been sifted in by Clark Gillies.
13:19
Nope. They give it to Gary Hart.
13:21
Jenny Poppins will definitely get it at 6.
13:23
Johnny gets an assist for winning the draw.
13:25
Now that's a good one.
13:27
And it's a good one.
13:29
And it's a good one.
13:31
And it's a good one.
13:33
And it's a good one.
13:35
And it's a good one.
13:37
Eddie Johnny gets an assist for winning the draw.
13:39
Now Van Kuber comes down cut.
13:41
Head for Gould.
13:43
He was shot down.
13:45
He was handed back the ball
13:47
by dimmi Popkin.
13:49
And they're seen by Lee Westfall.
13:51
코 open and looking for Deswegen special in rushing.
13:53
He's inning with
14:06
turns and back in his own cage winding around the boards and out comes Don Lever.
14:10
The head for Monahan, knocked off his stick, taken by Juans.
14:13
Juans fast broken up.
14:15
Westfall will come across when his teammates clear.
14:17
They do, and he does.
14:18
All the way down.
14:19
Behind the van, Kuehren and his Dennis Kearns.
14:22
Rylanders have controlled the play, retied at 1.
14:25
Only 7 minutes gone by in a super hockey game.
14:28
This is the Stanley Cup hockey.
14:29
Gary Monahan comes across the van Kuehren.
14:31
Belted by Hart, dragged down by Hart.
14:34
No penalty called.
14:35
And the island is lucky there.
14:36
The head now for Westfall on right wing, passed him,
14:39
and is deflected back to center ice by Dennis Kearns.
14:41
Now Denny Popman comes across.
14:43
Grows to shoot Juans left wing.
14:45
It's gulfed at sent down iso by Dennis Kearns.
14:47
Pick up by Bert Marzow.
14:48
Kearns has played extremely well thus far.
14:51
It has put all islanders with over tied 1-1.
14:55
Denny Popman ahead of ice for Nice Street.
14:57
He's just knocked out penalty on Bobby Lallon.
15:00
Penalty coming up on Bobby Lallon.
15:03
He reached out and put the hook into a nice riveting hook
15:06
down, getting a great lead pass from Denny Popman.
15:09
There is a break in the action.
15:11
With the score, the islanders won and van Kuehren won.
15:16
Penalty is on Bobby Lallon.
15:18
Two minutes for hooking at 7.31 of the second period.
15:22
The most prolific power play muted in the National
15:25
Hockey League is on the ice for the islanders.
15:26
Haught the jaw.
15:27
Left point, Denny Popman.
15:29
Right point, John Popman.
15:30
Left point, Denny Popman.
15:31
Denny looks in the slot.
15:33
The Harris is shot.
15:34
Broken up, rebound Harris.
15:35
Harris right side, Deeks.
15:37
Right face off circle Harris.
15:39
Denny starts to sneak in.
15:40
He has snuck in.
15:41
The pass in front is deflected and sent down ice by Chris
15:44
Oddlison.
15:45
Oddlison and Johnny Gould are killing the penalties.
15:49
Boy, Bob, you saw Denny Popman sneak in.
15:51
One of his maneuvers in that pass almost got to him.
15:54
They've gotten out a number of times and scored this year.
15:57
Here's John Popman, a son.
15:58
He plays it off the board.
15:59
Gillies to go in after to keep it in and set it up.
16:01
Grows it in front, knocked aside by Robotsyke.
16:03
Kicked up by Gillies.
16:04
At the islanders, had it set up.
16:06
Back on the point now, Denny Popman.
16:07
But it's knocked away and sent to sunrise.
16:09
And here comes Gould.
16:10
One on one.
16:11
He flakes to the left and shot.
16:12
Gould!
16:13
Short-handed goal by Johnny Gould.
16:16
He's faked and shot up.
16:17
Bullet pass, rush.
16:18
And the islanders have given up a short-handed goal.
16:21
Johnny Gould made a beautiful deep.
16:24
He cut to the left and as a huge John Popman for the screen,
16:27
he fired it past Rush.
16:29
Using John Popman for the screen, it is 2-1 Vancouver.
16:34
8-18 is the time of that goal.
16:36
It is a short-handed one.
16:38
Gould would score 32 regular season goals.
16:42
Tends up with his first of the playoffs.
16:44
At 8-18, it's a short-handed goal.
16:48
Right off the faceoff, Denny Popman trying to keep it in
16:50
and couldn't and Gould broke out 2-1.
16:53
Now off the draw, Harris sneaks it in.
16:54
The shot's a goal!
16:55
And a goal!
16:56
Ridley! Harris sneaked in on the right side and shot it off.
16:59
Ridley!
17:00
They hit Ridley behind in the skate and went in.
17:03
Oh my goodness, what a beginning to a fairly cut series.
17:07
Harris with no angle at all, shot it off the backside of Ridley's
17:12
skate into the net.
17:13
And we're tied at 2-1 the power play goal by Billy Harris.
17:19
Getting used to this word, unbelievable.
17:22
Billy Harris gets his first playoff goal.
17:25
And this year's playoff sits an unassisted goal.
17:28
It is a power play goal.
17:30
Billy Harris has scored a few of those this year.
17:32
And we're tied at 2-1 piece, 828th of a goal, 10 seconds after Gould
17:37
had scored his short-handed one.
17:38
We have had two power play goals, one short-handed goal,
17:41
four goals in the first 8-1-1-1 minutes.
17:44
And that's why you can't believe radio guys and TV guys and newspaper guys,
17:49
they talk about the tough defense in the Stanley Cup.
17:51
We have a four goals, Bob, in 8-1-1-1 minutes.
17:54
Unbelievable. I don't know how that fuck went in the net.
17:58
All right, up to center-ice now, Davey Lewis.
18:00
Team's at equal strength.
18:01
In fact, the penalties are over on everybody.
18:03
Both Walton and Salamone out.
18:05
And back of the net 2-1, can't keep it in.
18:06
Snips throws it out on the left side to a lever.
18:09
He overskates, hit by Westfall, loses the puck,
18:12
losing the right side of the net and then it's frozen
18:14
and held against the boards for a faceoff.
18:16
Bob, Harris had no angle to shoot from.
18:20
He almost was shooting from behind the net and he jammed it.
18:23
And the next thing you knew, the puck was in the net.
18:25
I don't think he really thought it had much of a chance.
18:27
He just sort of threw it in the gentle direction.
18:29
It was only about six or eight feet away.
18:31
Ridley, I don't think, saw the puck coming.
18:33
It went off the side of his skate.
18:35
It must have hit the post and crawled in the goal.
18:38
For Harris, the power play goal at 8-28.
18:41
Unbelievable.
18:42
Hide off the job.
18:43
Burt Marshall is shot with high and wide.
18:45
Rebound, caroms out on the wings of light.
18:47
He tries to clear and he does.
18:49
Just center-ice.
18:50
Taken by Burt Marshall, he plays it in.
18:52
Taken by a nice trim now and he throws it all the way down behind the Vancouver net.
18:57
Picked up and backed by Robotai, he circles the net.
19:00
Mike Robotai, he comes up ice.
19:02
Robotai quickly to center.
19:04
A lead pass for Blythe, not going. Picked up by Salaroff.
19:06
Skating one on two.
19:07
Salaroff comes across, is hit by Snep.
19:10
But still manages to throw it in.
19:12
Ridley stops the puck and back of the net.
19:14
Layed in back of the net by Blythe.
19:15
He winds it around but is going to be kept in by Burt Marshall.
19:17
In the slot, the shot.
19:18
He's very bravely.
19:19
He made a great save on Salaroff.
19:21
Picked up by Marshall.
19:22
We've now cut him by Hart.
19:24
Hart, the shot.
19:25
Just went wide.
19:26
Ridley went down to the puck like wide.
19:27
And the rebound.
19:28
Params to center-ice.
19:29
A head for O'Farrity.
19:31
O'Farrity across on the left.
19:32
Grows it in front of the net and is tipped away by a wrist.
19:34
The rebound picked up by Hart.
19:36
It is a wide open hockey game.
19:37
A lead for Neistat.
19:38
Neistat comes across.
19:39
One man to beat.
19:40
Beers to the right, the shot.
19:41
Kicked saved by Ridley.
19:43
He had to make a honey to stop Neistat.
19:45
It is a wide open game.
19:46
The center turns.
19:47
He flips in a bouncer.
19:49
Stopped by the club at Cheek R.A.
19:51
And back of it now, a howitzer.
19:53
Trying to clear it out of the zone.
19:54
And he does.
19:55
A head for Trotty.
19:56
A lead for Howitz.
19:57
His right wing pass for Neistat.
19:59
It goes over the side flap by Dennis Kearns.
20:03
Right now, let's pause.
20:04
15 seconds for a station identification.
20:06
We're listening to this family talk.
20:08
This is New York Islander Hoppe.
20:10
This corner by Bay of the Tuck.
20:12
Tied it to.
20:13
Dennis Kearns winds it up.
20:15
Around the net, but not out.
20:16
Kept him by Hart at the blue line.
20:18
He throws it in back of the net.
20:19
After it goes Trotty.
20:20
Harris sets up in front.
20:21
Trotty in back of the net.
20:22
Trying to center it.
20:23
He's checked against the boards and knocked away by Kearns.
20:26
Picked up now on the right side by Herbert Gotts.
20:28
And here's a penalty.
20:29
Herbert Gotts put the hook in the heart and knocked him down.
20:33
No question about it.
20:35
And it occurred, Robert Lawrence, right in front of referee Lloyd Gilmore.
20:40
No question about it.
20:41
Herbert Gotts put the hook in the heart and yanked him on his fanny.
20:45
And he's having a right in front of Gilmore.
20:47
Herbert Gotts was so upset at the call.
20:49
He started the protest and quickly shut up.
20:52
Knowing full well Gilmore would put him with a game misconduct.
20:55
It'd be too long.
20:57
Herbert Gotts gets two minutes for hooking at 10.36.
21:02
So the onerders again have a power play opportunity.
21:05
The first two shots of the game of the onerders went in.
21:08
Two out of three shots on goal so far have gone in.
21:11
I don't believe this game.
21:12
They saw now left they saw circle right side of Kirk Ridley.
21:17
Stickle will drop the block and it stopped.
21:19
And the onerders won that draw and the onerders are not very happy.
21:23
Neil Armstrong whistled it down and the onerders had drawn it back and had it set up.
21:29
Chattie A. The Lightning Company is out.
21:31
Chattie A. Gillies Harris with the Popman Brothers on the power play.
21:34
The number one power play in the National Accu-League.
21:36
But off the draw, it's taken it back by Gulley.
21:38
Wines it around but not out kept in the guns.
21:42
The near board is now blown all the way down ice by Tracy Freck.
21:45
Radd is out on the rear of the box along with John Gryvdale skating at the front of the box
21:51
during the penalty will be Johnny Gould and Chris Adlerson.
21:55
All right. The center ice comes trying to get.
21:57
He makes a move.
21:58
Come to cross.
21:59
Leeds Gillies offside.
22:00
They call it offside.
22:01
Leon Stickle had the call right in front of them and he called it offside.
22:05
There are still nine minutes left in this period and we've had just about everything.
22:10
A great fight.
22:11
Four goals.
22:12
Penalties.
22:13
Jordan Hennig goes.
22:14
The onerders, as you know, looked a little bit on the tired side against Atlanta the other night
22:18
in their final regular season game but they are well rested and flying in this game tonight.
22:22
I don't have the face off.
22:24
It's thrown down ice by Tracy Freck.
22:28
A minute and a half left on the penalty to Dennis Verbeder.
22:31
Islanders behind their own at Denny Popman taking his time setting it up.
22:35
A leadout pass now to Trotty down the left wards.
22:37
It turns to Dennis and Center.
22:39
Dennis comes to the Vancouver line looking to come across.
22:41
Check off the play by Robozyte and now Tracy Freck sends it all the way down.
22:45
Good play by Tracy Freck.
22:47
Back to his own at John Popman.
22:49
Still a minute left in the penalty.
22:51
In fact a minute five is John Popman comes up ice.
22:53
All right.
22:54
John Popman out guns it in the left side.
22:55
Gillies will try to take it out.
22:57
It's taken there by Monahan.
22:58
He can't clear it frozen by Gillies and Monahan and they get a face off.
23:02
And deep bang through the ice.
23:04
Monahan has come on to try to kill the rest of this along with O'Flaherty.
23:10
And on the back will be Grisdale and Tracy Freck.
23:13
The Islanders get a new line out.
23:14
The Westfall-Farisi drew a line after the first minute is gone of.
23:17
There are the guards penalty.
23:19
The Islanders like to keep him in the penalty box all night.
23:21
He's already scored one goal, a power play goal first to the game
23:24
and he's there leading the score and really can blaze that puck in there.
23:27
Right off the draw.
23:28
Islanders win it.
23:29
Back on the point it drew a Dennis Popman.
23:31
Dennis now left side Farisi in the slot.
23:33
The shot went wide.
23:34
Params out right side.
23:35
Kept in.
23:36
No it's going out to center ice.
23:37
And here comes one on one again.
23:38
O'Flaherty comes in against Kenny Popman.
23:40
He is felted by Dennis.
23:41
Dennis falls down but he manages to whack the puck around the neck.
23:45
And it comes out to Farisi on the left side of the neck.
23:47
Thirty-five seconds left in the penalty.
23:49
Oh Islander penalty now.
23:50
Farisi jumped O'Flaherty who was digging the puck out
23:53
and the Islanders will be a man down.
23:55
Has the thirty-four seconds elapses on the penalty to Verbega.
23:59
Right now there's a break in the action with a score.
24:01
The Islanders two and Vancouver two.
24:03
Up for hooking a twelve-oh-two off the draw.
24:05
Vancouver control snipped from the left point.
24:07
The shot is broken up in front by the drive.
24:09
The rebound kicked away by Rebs.
24:11
Rebs now picked up by Davey Lewis.
24:14
Lewis winds it around for McMillan.
24:17
McMillan will try to clear McMillan and Trottier now on.
24:19
And there's a faceoff as the puck is frozen by Monahan and O'Flaherty
24:23
along with Billy McMillan.
24:25
The Islanders had that one-man advantage for about a full
24:27
minute and a half, a little bit less than actually by a couple of seconds
24:30
and were unable to get a single shot on goal on Ridley.
24:33
The Islanders up against a continually close-checking
24:37
Vancouver team.
24:38
This game so far is working out like a chess match
24:41
between Phil Maloney, the coach of Vancouver,
24:43
and Al Arbor of the Islanders in their personnel changing.
24:46
Off the faceoff, the shot by Robotai is a ride.
24:49
Rebs picked up by Monahan.
24:51
He tries to ascend it out.
24:52
Teams are still playing four-man aside.
24:55
They are at equal strength, not full strength,
24:57
but soon Vancouver will have the man advantage.
24:59
In fact, in two seconds or now,
25:01
Sneps along the board and center-eyes loses to Henning.
25:04
The puck is now picked up and sent down ice by O'Flaherty.
25:07
He comes across the line, hit by Westfall, and down he goes.
25:09
The pass goes across ice, taken out by Whelton.
25:13
Whelton plays in the corner.
25:14
Westfall digs it out, can't clear.
25:16
Kicked in by Dennis Kern's left point.
25:18
On the right point, he's taken by Robotai.
25:20
His shot is the puck and then sent down ice by Davy Lewis.
25:24
Well, Bob, I thought Westfall might have gotten a penalty there.
25:26
It was he, and knocked down O'Flaherty.
25:28
And funny, just took him down with the overhands.
25:31
The center-eyes comes to Shaky Walton.
25:33
He is checked and sent up by Marshall,
25:34
and he has to retreat back to his own end.
25:36
Fifty seconds remaining on the Parisi penalty.
25:38
Six forty-five left in the period, retied at two.
25:40
Vancouver shoots all the way down.
25:42
Behind the islander, that's Davy Lewis.
25:43
He winds it around on the left side for Westfall.
25:45
Can't knock it out. Kicked in by Daley.
25:48
And the timing at it's Shaky Walton.
25:50
Walton comes around and sent it back on the left point
25:52
to Dennis Kern. On the right point, now to Daley.
25:54
Daley throws it in front, saved by Wretz,
25:56
and clears that ice by Bert Marzell.
25:58
Great teamwork there. Wretz dug it out and flipped it in front.
26:01
Right in front of his cage.
26:02
He had to be confident about Marshall handling it.
26:04
And Bert threw it down.
26:05
I think both goalies are starting to settle down now,
26:07
after the initial four goals have been scored.
26:09
Islander's feeling center. Hart loses and center-eyes.
26:12
Now Jerry puts it up again.
26:14
Jerry now comes to the Vancouver line,
26:16
and he throws back in the way with Denny Potman.
26:18
Ten seconds left on the Breesie penalty.
26:20
Denny throws it all the way down.
26:22
The penalty will be over in three more seconds.
26:25
Two, one. Breesie is out.
26:27
The center-eyes comes Kerns, and he plays it in.
26:29
It's behind the islander.
26:31
Breesie stepped out and was belted and knocked down,
26:33
and the crowd wanted a penalty.
26:35
Now along the far boards,
26:37
LaLonde tries to dig it out.
26:39
Belted is ruled by Denny Potman,
26:41
taken away by McMillan.
26:42
He plays it back to Hart, and Hart guns it down.
26:45
The tie-up is over the icing,
26:47
and overt icing by Jerry Hart.
26:49
The touch is made by Dennis Kerns.
26:51
There is a break in the action with a score.
26:53
The islander's two and Vancouver two.
26:55
Islander's control in their own ends.
26:57
Denny Potman circles in his own net.
26:59
It's past beautiful, past Breesie.
27:01
Now Lee, for a harass, he comes across,
27:03
the bucket by LaLonde, and set the other way.
27:05
Well, Farron, he loses, and is center to Denny Potman.
27:08
He throws across to Hart. Now, Lee for trottier,
27:10
but it goes off the stick, and it's set the other way by Vancouver.
27:12
The islanders have carried the play.
27:14
Vancouver has had two chance to score, and they have it.
27:17
Here's Denny Potman coming up.
27:19
I was trying to get around that little guy LaLonde.
27:21
There's like a little knot out there.
27:23
A lead for Harris. This pass back to Dennis.
27:25
Dennis comes across, dumps it all the way down.
27:27
After Gillies, and Grisdale.
27:29
Gillies knocks Grisdale down, and back in the net,
27:31
sticking by Brad. He tries to clear.
27:33
He cannot. Harris keeps it in, along the near boards.
27:35
Harris battling along the near boards with Ophardi.
27:37
They don't get a whistle. It's kicked along the boards.
27:39
It is not frozen there, and now they finally get a whistle.
27:42
Along the near boards, in deep Vancouver ice.
27:45
For a moment, the islanders clock Gillies was just circling around the clock,
27:50
which he thought was going to be frozen to the boards.
27:52
But the whistle did not sound came over to help out Billy Harris.
27:55
Gillies had gone out in the slot, hoping that Harris would dig it out
27:58
and throw it to him there, but it just didn't happen.
28:00
We got a pace off in the near side.
28:02
Vancouver wins the draw. Grisdale goes behind his head.
28:05
Picking by Gillies and dumped out of the zone.
28:07
They got the fucker roll all the way down to Vancouver.
28:10
4-15 left in the period. Here's Gillies to come across.
28:13
He does. Aleep Harris, and it's called down to last guys.
28:17
And that was a bad call. I'll tell you what.
28:20
I'll tell you why. Shradie had to come out of the zone,
28:22
but he did get one foot across the blue line, one skate across,
28:26
and I thought that he was onside.
28:28
Then Gillies busted across, and he set up Harris on a breakaway.
28:31
It does no good to protest about it, but certainly Brian Shradie did,
28:35
and he went to Leon Stickle who made the call and made a brief
28:39
but assured complaint about the call.
28:43
The honours would have had themselves that sure goal.
28:45
Billy Harris right in on Ridley. Nobody in the back there to stop him,
28:49
but so much for that. The score remains 2-2 here in the first period.
28:52
Right off the face off, taken by Marshall, he guns it in.
28:55
Highlanders have really carried the blade of Vancouver.
28:58
Behind the net is taken by Robotsy.
29:01
He tries to clear it out. It's taken by Berezi along the left board.
29:04
Berezi trying to kick it in back of the net for Julian. He does.
29:07
Julian's in back. In front, McMillan. The pass out is to Bucket.
29:10
Pick up by McMillan. He is battled off the play by Big Sneps,
29:14
and the Bucket's frozen, and I think the goal cage moved as well.
29:17
Robert, that's one of the things that Bill Torrey mentioned in our center ice tonight,
29:21
and he had been quoted in the papers to watch Ridley,
29:24
and he made sure that the officials were aware of it.
29:26
Ridley has been known to do that, to lift the goal cage off its post when he is in trouble.
29:31
Yes, remember last time they were in Gary Smith's today?
29:34
Off the faceoff now, in back of the net.
29:37
Robert Ty comes out. Now, a head and center ice with Settlebow off his stick.
29:42
He can be skated down by Bert Marshall, a head for Davey Lewis.
29:45
Davey trying to skate it out of the zone, but it's poked back in,
29:48
but offside Vancouver as the puck went over and came back again.
29:52
Three minutes and 40 seconds remaining in the first period, in a wild first period,
29:57
and a wide open first for Ridley too. We're tied at two apiece.
30:01
They are really thrown, they're weighed around, the sticks have been up a little high.
30:04
You tend to get a little worried when this sort of thing happens.
30:07
Somebody could really get hurt. It's one thing to throw the body,
30:10
another thing to let the sticks get high. People can really get cut with the sticks.
30:13
Off the faceoff, Smith's. A cross-ice pass and a shot by Robert Ty,
30:19
and they go down and make the save. Pretty good shot from about 80 feet out.
30:23
The center ice now comes at Davey Lewis, a head for Juan.
30:26
Ju's skating well. Ju to cross with Nice to him on the right.
30:29
Nice to throw a cross-ice, it's deflected, kept in, and Nice to him now,
30:33
Dunston in back of the net. Juan hasn't gotten off on this line,
30:37
as Howard is on now, and Nice to him. The puck is sent to center by Vancouver,
30:40
picked up by Davey Lewis. He comes back to the Vancouver line,
30:44
Smith and Graltnit Lewis, and Lewis knocked him both down.
30:47
Well, the bodies aren't blind. These are two big physical teams.
30:51
Like Max, intercepted and centered by Hart, he guns it in.
30:54
Graltnit is center off, and back of the net, it's Robert Ty, his pass out is
30:59
down, Nice. No one touched it, and he goes into islander,
31:02
and it stops, and Jenny Potman recovers in front of his net.
31:05
A lead in center ice is tipped by Salaraw to the Vancouver line,
31:09
skated out by Daly, a head for Kearns. That play broken up in center ice,
31:13
and taken back by Jenny Potman in his own end.
31:15
Watch my...
31:16
I didn't center ice down the house.
31:18
I think that's why I stopped by Salaraw. I dropped it at the corner for a day.
31:21
A lead in center out of the house. How?
31:24
Two-some-on-goals, gloves down by Ridley.
31:26
Ridley plays it in back of the net, it's round around the board by Blight,
31:29
and it's going to be carried out by Dennis Kearns, the over-skate,
31:32
and Daly now sends a head in center ice believer who tipped him into islander end.
31:36
Skated down by Jenny Potman, two minutes remaining in the query.
31:39
Jenny now looks up ice, and sends out for Nice, and goes off the skate,
31:42
taken by Blight, knocked away by Nice, and recovered by Blight.
31:45
His pass comes over the line, and Vancouver loss of clear before they send the puck in.
31:50
Blight, across for Kearns, plays in off the board to center it to Monahan,
31:55
loaded along the board by Jenny Potman, left side of the islander net.
31:59
Monahan sends him back for the line, knocked away and down ice,
32:02
and there's going to be a penalty, I believe, yeah.
32:05
And islander penalty is upcoming Lloyd Gilmore, I believe,
32:09
has nailed Jenny Potman with only a minute 38 left in the first period.
32:13
Jenny Potman was involved in some pretty close checking on Faribagas,
32:18
and apparently got too much activity in that checking that he was doing.
32:24
So Lloyd Gilmore rather than let it get too much further out of hand,
32:28
blew the whistle and sent Jenny Potman to the penalty box,
32:31
two minutes for Ruffin at 18-22.
32:35
The score remains tied, two apiece here in the first period.
32:38
Press ball and hitting come on ice.
32:40
Vancouver on the power play for minute 38 of this query,
32:44
and then if it don't score 20 seconds of the next query, off the base off,
32:48
is sent to center ice by the islander, is heading out, trying to sweep it in,
32:52
and he does, heading down the right side, blows in front to Westfall.
32:55
Westfall will cover the shot, really the rebound under release,
32:58
and he holds on, Westfall almost at a short hand ago.
33:03
Westfall could not quite control the puck that had been sent out to him
33:07
by a fast skating and good puck handling.
33:09
Lauren Henning would come down the near boards, he was off balance,
33:12
but threw it towards the gentle direction of the crease.
33:15
Westfall was bodied off the puck by Karns,
33:18
and could not quite control it, so it was somewhat of a feeble shot,
33:21
but still pushed in the gentle direction.
33:23
Ridley had to jump on it quick as it was fluttering around in front of the net.
33:28
The base off will occur in the right face-out circle, left side of Ridley,
33:32
Westfall on the jaw of Chris Adlison, who is the base off expert for Vancouver.
33:41
The puck is dropped by Stigl, taken by Westfall,
33:46
he throws it across, but daily clears it from in front of his goal.
33:49
And Dennis Kearns looks up ice, a minute and a half,
33:52
remaining in the penalty, a minute and five remaining in the period.
33:57
Jerry Hart now in his own end, as the puck was sent down,
33:59
and he clears all the way down ice.
34:01
Under a minute, left in the period.
34:04
The center of ice comes Kearns, throws ahead for Adlison,
34:08
and then he skates to the line. If shot, taken by Hart, knocked away,
34:11
picked up Adlison, Adlison in back of the net.
34:14
The case is that the rebound is to fucking lie,
34:16
the rebound is turned to the right side, Adlison back on the point to Kearns.
34:20
Kearns back to Adlison, Adlison, cross-eyed fast,
34:23
daily, daily on the right side for Cool, back on the left point to Kearns.
34:27
Kearns is shot, clubbed down by Tico, he saw it, had it all the way.
34:32
Jerry Hart almost got into it with Faradar Guard,
34:35
Faradar Guard would position himself right in the crease,
34:38
at the top of the crease at least, and try to get some kind of a tip in.
34:41
Vancouver moving the puck extremely well,
34:43
really rifling the puck at all four corners of the attack zone,
34:47
and looking for the best possible opportunity.
34:50
The save by Tico was not a very difficult one,
34:52
because he was wide open on the screen on the shot,
34:55
but he did make the good save.
34:57
We very nearly had another confrontation with Jerry Hart and Faradar Guard.
35:01
I think Hart would be happy to go into penalty box if he could take Faradar Guard with him.
35:04
They ever got the big gun for the Vancouver Canucks.
35:07
And you're right Bob, Vancouver threw the puck around beautifully,
35:10
from the corner to the point, back to the corner, cross-eyed.
35:13
The draw, one by the out is, they can't clear,
35:16
cut in along the board by David.
35:18
Right side, Blight, Blight throws it in back for Walton,
35:21
Walton looks to center it, he's in back and then,
35:23
pulled by Faradar, sides to center it,
35:25
it's cleared by Tico, Tico winds it around the net for Henning,
35:28
Henning can't clear, he took a swipe and missed,
35:30
Reynard has played in back for Walton,
35:32
Walton centers it, but it's cleared back to the point.
35:34
The goalie of the shot, save, Reynard cleared by Marshall,
35:37
taken by Blight, right side, Blight,
35:39
and passed out as the puck, it's shot to the point by Gould,
35:41
the shot is kicked by, left ball, skate, goes in the crowd.
35:46
And the barrier comes through, close on that note.
35:53
Burt Marshall did some excellent clearing in front,
35:56
in the first period, in game number one, up in Toronto at Maple Leaf Gardens,
36:02
Toronto has taken a one-nothing lead,
36:04
that's in the first period,
36:06
Toronto leads Pittsburgh one-nothing.
36:09
Well, the period comes through, close, it was a wild period,
36:13
four goals with score, two of them power plays,
36:16
one short-hatted by Vancouver,
36:19
and to end actions, bodies being thumped,
36:23
and it ends with a Denny Podman in the penalty box
36:26
for another 22 seconds,
36:28
and that's how the second period will begin,
36:30
where the island is a man down.
36:32
John Sterling and Bob Lawrence have announced our policy,
36:35
and Bob will return with the statistical recap of the first period
36:39
as intermission guests, and we'll get back with more New York Islanders
36:43
sailing Cup hockey right after these messages.
36:47
40 more minutes of national hockey league action,
36:49
the first game of his best of three playoffs,
36:51
and again, for the play-by-play, here against John Sterling.
36:54
Thank you, Bob, and of course we must point out
36:56
something we haven't pointed out, if this game ends in a tie,
36:59
while we go to overtime until it's settled, sudden death overtime.
37:02
Islanders have 20 seconds to kill off the penalty of Denny Podman
37:05
as they begin their send-in-kitting. Here's the ending shot.
37:08
Goal! I want a goal! I want a goal!
37:11
Goal!
37:18
Lorne and Henning, a shorthand in goal.
37:21
It is the second shorthand goal of the night.
37:26
Unbelievable.
37:28
Henning was sent across one-on-one.
37:30
He fired a blast past Ridley, and the islanders beat it three to two.
37:35
I told you, you've got to get used to this word, unbelievable.
37:39
Lorne and Henning just walked in across the blue line
37:42
with a puck for the islanders,
37:44
still having 12 more seconds to kill them.
37:46
What is left of that penalty to Denny Podman?
37:50
Let's all get an assist.
37:52
The goal at 10 seconds of the second period.
37:59
That's really something.
38:00
My penalty is almost over on Denny Podman,
38:02
and as Kearns comes out, a head for Blight, a lead is center-ice,
38:06
across the line-out for Walton.
38:08
Walton down to left line,
38:09
goes in back of the net, is boarded by Margell.
38:11
Puck is put up by Henning.
38:12
Penelty is over, teams at full and equal strength.
38:15
Westfall to come out.
38:17
Westfall sends up a head for Denny Podman.
38:19
He veers to the left and center.
38:20
Now sends a head for Henning,
38:22
batted in by Denny Podman,
38:24
and it will be whistled down.
38:26
No, it won't be whistled down at all.
38:28
Islanders made a change,
38:29
and Walton comes to center-ice.
38:32
His lead is broken up by Howlett,
38:34
and sent it for Blight.
38:35
Howlett comes the other way.
38:36
To the bank, through the line,
38:37
he rolls it in,
38:38
skated out by Daly,
38:39
who falls down on his own.
38:40
Now a head for Blight,
38:41
the big rookie,
38:42
he's got his broken up by Hart,
38:43
skated the other way by Sam Rao.
38:45
Here's a three on two.
38:46
Sam Rao the deep,
38:47
over the line,
38:48
Sam Rao skates and on goal.
38:49
Head for Howlett, the shot, hit the post.
38:51
The rebound, Denny Podman, the shot.
38:53
Save the rebound,
38:54
and back a second by Lalonde.
38:56
Howlett had a good shot,
38:57
it hit the post, and came out.
38:59
Instead of going in,
39:00
it would have been 4-2.
39:02
Head to Kearns in center.
39:04
He looks and shoots,
39:05
and knocks it all the way down ice.
39:06
It comes around the boards,
39:07
and I let her in.
39:08
Nice one, sends it back to him for Hart.
39:11
He's jammed by Vervigar,
39:12
and they combine a freeze of bucket,
39:13
and hold it in for a face-off.
39:16
Now that is down at the other end of the ice, Bob,
39:18
and if you saw that differently,
39:20
please say so.
39:22
You're absolutely correct.
39:23
I was gonna point that out,
39:24
but you call it as it happened.
39:26
That shot by Gary Howlett,
39:29
from about 15 feet out,
39:31
completely had Ridley Beats,
39:34
hit the post,
39:35
and almost was banged back in again
39:37
on the rebound.
39:38
It's 3-2,
39:39
I don't know if it's late in here,
39:40
in the second period.
39:45
The face-off will occur.
39:46
Now, Vervigar and Davy Lewis
39:47
have those sticks up high, Bob,
39:50
as you've been documenting all night long.
39:53
Off the face-off, deep-milder,
39:54
and second by Marcell,
39:55
the first time the owners have led into playoffs
39:57
tonight, this year.
40:00
The center-ice, the shot away,
40:02
whatever I said.
40:03
Play is broken up by Vervigar.
40:04
He gets a felt from Lewis.
40:06
Boy, that body is a really fine guy.
40:08
This is a good hockey game
40:09
that you'll ever see
40:10
for all things you want to see in a game.
40:12
Vancouver shoots down
40:13
for Vervigar, felt in Gillies.
40:15
Gillies comes out of the puck,
40:16
loses to Howlett in the backhand,
40:17
saved by a sprawling Davy Lewis.
40:20
He made a great save,
40:21
and here's a 3-on-2 ahead Harris.
40:23
A lead for Gillies, broken up
40:25
by the long stick of Mike Robotac.
40:27
Taking him center-ice by Sadea.
40:29
He throws it back to his own blue line
40:31
for a first Marcell.
40:32
We're going to talk at some point
40:33
about the Davy Lewis sliding save.
40:35
He made a great one.
40:36
All right, I understood it.
40:38
Harris right side,
40:39
centers it.
40:40
Sadea, but knocked away by Harold Smith.
40:42
He wanders around the boards,
40:43
kept in by Parisi,
40:44
throws in front,
40:45
the tip is missed by Harris.
40:46
The rebound is cleared.
40:47
Taking by Parisi,
40:48
back on the point to Lewis.
40:49
The shot!
40:50
Hit the post,
40:51
and came out.
40:52
It went past Ridley,
40:53
and it hit the post.
40:55
They hit two posts.
40:56
Back now comes Adler,
40:57
from the cross on the right.
40:58
Put the brakes on,
40:59
has ridden out the play,
41:00
and knocked down by Davy Lewis.
41:02
They're going to get Lewis on a penalty.
41:03
Resh is going crazy.
41:04
He doesn't believe it.
41:05
Well, there's going to be a penalty on the islanders.
41:07
And Bob, I thought that shot,
41:09
and he hit the post.
41:10
Absolutely, that's two posts.
41:12
The outers have hit so far in just this period.
41:15
Davy Lewis is getting two minutes for Alding,
41:18
and it's amazing because Lewis
41:20
was really sparring with Verva Garth,
41:22
on several occasions,
41:23
and it really been belting him.
41:24
Could have got called for cross-checking.
41:26
That one belty gave Verva Garth,
41:28
but he came off of one of those belts
41:30
against Verva Garth,
41:31
out into the crease,
41:32
and made a diving, sliding save.
41:35
He almost stopped it with his helmet.
41:37
Verva Garth giving a giveaway,
41:39
and he came in front.
41:40
Not Verva Garth,
41:41
I've listened to it.
41:42
I thought that was going to be a tie-hacking game.
41:44
My islanders are man down,
41:45
and hitting clears all the way down.
41:46
Last time out, remember,
41:47
the islanders put a short-handed goal.
41:49
And we've had two of those tonight,
41:51
and you won't go a month seeing two of those.
41:54
Not a one game.
41:55
I'm making you.
41:56
Here's Walton, the center, ahead for Blight.
41:58
The shot is high,
41:59
tipped by a rest into the crack.
42:01
There's a break in the action.
42:02
With a score, the islanders three,
42:04
and Vancouver two.
42:05
Off the face of Blight
42:07
across the lines of Vancouver.
42:09
Vancouver a man advantage,
42:10
the stop by Blight, wide,
42:11
and carams out left point,
42:12
Jenny Kerns.
42:13
A wide open game,
42:14
three or two islanders.
42:15
Daily, the right point to shot.
42:16
Kick, kick, kick, kick.
42:17
He made a beauty rebound.
42:19
Kerns, the shot in the spot by Blight.
42:21
Seared by Red and he moved back.
42:23
Oh my goodness.
42:25
Rick Blight had him dead to right,
42:27
and Red's made a quick low save.
42:29
Somehow or other, he was kind of
42:31
blodz-y about that.
42:32
He just spared that fuck right out of the air.
42:34
I mean, one of the most spectacular saves
42:36
that's been made here at the Coliseum this year.
42:38
And they're just casually shooting
42:40
at the ball.
42:41
And they're just casually shooting at the ball.
42:43
And they're just casually shooting at the ball.
42:45
And they're just casually dropping it back out on the ice.
42:48
A sensational save.
42:49
The best for the game so far for Chico.
42:52
A minute one remaining on the panel is Davey Lewis.
42:55
16-22 left in the second period.
42:57
Three, two islanders,
42:58
and they did a couple of balls off the draw.
43:00
Kerns has shot.
43:01
Chippen with wide pass, the rest.
43:03
Luckily that wasn't on goal.
43:04
Rebound pick up by heading and he clears.
43:06
Bob, this may be the most exciting game I've ever seen.
43:09
And we are barely to come to second period.
43:11
Daily comes across, hit from behind,
43:13
and the puck comes loose with Westall.
43:15
Guns off the fore is down ice.
43:17
Taken back by Blight.
43:18
Blight comes across the line on the right side.
43:20
The big rookie on the right side holds it up and sets it up.
43:23
Now back on the point to Daily, the big guy gives a blight.
43:25
And back in the case now,
43:26
Walton in front of the goal, the shot save.
43:29
Rebound blitz, so, three on save.
43:33
Blight and shaking Walton with stop at Gorma.
43:38
And I don't believe that rest made those saves.
43:41
And I really thought we were going to have another tie game.
43:44
And Van Kooley sets it up really well on the barb.
43:47
I'll tell you, they really did.
43:48
They worked that puck so extremely well.
43:50
Some fine movement of the puck
43:52
that they did not hustle the opportunity.
43:54
The onener's a little bit out of position.
43:56
But Tico protected that goal as if there were three of them there.
44:00
Three goal-tenders instead of just little Tico.
44:02
And just as cool as a cucumber,
44:04
he has really settled down from that first period.
44:07
Ridley is still continuing to look shaky.
44:09
The onener's got to kill another 28 seconds of this penalty
44:12
before they can get some more pressure on Ridley.
44:14
Boy, the opportunity is misgamed by this unbelievable.
44:18
Off the draw, Walton back in the case, goes to his backhand,
44:21
winds him up ahead and cannot clear.
44:23
And now he is clear.
44:24
Henning finally got the edge of the stick out and it cleared it.
44:27
Daily comes back, 15 seconds on the penalty.
44:29
Daily comes across, not away by Westfall, down ice.
44:32
11 seconds left on the Davey Lewis penalty.
44:35
Decentreized, the fans have broken up by Monshaugh.
44:37
Lucent center, Monshaugh's done to it.
44:40
And that will do it on the Lewis penalty.
44:43
And back he comes.
44:46
Decentreized comes, Verbecki comes across,
44:49
fans on the pass, taken away by Hart.
44:52
Hart looks up ice.
44:53
It could be a break, a lead for Westfall,
44:55
comes across along, loses control,
44:57
and is taken away by Robicai.
44:58
His pass goes all the way down.
45:00
He goes half, rest, stuffed by Hart.
45:02
Aisling is called.
45:03
The face off will be down deep in back through the ice.
45:06
There's a break in the act with a score.
45:08
The out is great.
45:10
Dan Kuzich, two.
45:16
One by Lauren Henning.
45:17
Off the draw, the shot on goal is saved by Ridley.
45:20
Ridley now clears, but Millan took the shot off the draw.
45:22
Webac, Carams out right side, two rounds left to go to the point.
45:25
Kept in by Denny Poppins, right side at Millan.
45:27
A head for Juran, in the slot is knocked away by Grisdale.
45:30
And it's jumped to center ice by Grisdale.
45:32
But the puck sails all the way down.
45:34
Aisling waved off by Lines for Neil Armstrong.
45:37
Denny takes him back and comes out in front.
45:42
Juran!
45:43
Juran!
45:44
By Millan, McMillan!
45:46
Off a great pass by Hugh Juran!
45:49
Juran!
45:50
Juran!
45:52
He fed McMillan in the slot.
45:54
He went to the backhand and he started over the left shoulder of Ridley.
45:58
And the Islanders needed four to two.
46:00
Jilly McMillan should go for that puck as they're still in here.
46:04
That's his first ever playoff goal.
46:07
McMillan being set up beautifully.
46:10
McMillan is off the crease in a backhanded shot that got by Ridley.
46:15
It was not a tough chance for McMillan just backhanded it into the net.
46:19
Juran will get an assist and so will Parisi.
46:22
And the Islanders needed four to two.
46:25
Right out the face of Vancouver Chiefs today, but the goal will take it out.
46:28
The Islanders got all the chances they want.
46:30
Here's Juran across the line.
46:32
White side, here's to the left.
46:34
Go through for Parisi on the stadium instead of in front.
46:36
Another great pass by Juran.
46:37
It's not going to pull you up.
46:38
I'll make a shot.
46:39
Green line.
46:40
Green line turns out White side, but it will be carried out by Settlebar.
46:43
He loses to Monterey.
46:45
And put the center ice by jump puck man.
46:48
Now here's come Parisi down the left side.
46:50
Hey, put Juran.
46:51
Two on one.
46:52
Two on the shot.
46:53
And it's kicked saved in front by Robotside and it's sent down ice by Vancouver.
46:58
Loose in center.
46:59
It's taken across by Settlebar.
47:01
Jump back on the point, but the only one there is Parisi.
47:04
Parisi comes up nice.
47:06
Parisi two on two with Juran.
47:08
The shot saved by the Chester Ridley.
47:10
He's got, and it will be faced off in deep Vancouver ice when Ridley really looks taken in goal.
47:17
There's a break in the action score.
47:19
The Islanders four.
47:20
And then Vancouver two.
47:23
And Settlemars, Chris Pristanikin together in the Salers who fell in grace with the Seas.
47:28
From the Uncle Richard machine, a free time nominee for the Nobel Prize.
47:32
From Academy Award winning to be from Martin Paul.
47:34
From the award winning play by Lewis John Carlin-Elton, the Salers who fell in grace with the Seas.
47:39
Selling Salamars, Chris Pristanikin, the Salers who fell in grace with the Seas.
47:44
An actual embassy picked a released record on the 7G9 without value.
47:48
Selling Salamars, Chris Pristanikin, the Salers who fell in grace with the Seas.
47:51
Will premiere Sunday at Reed Coronet Selling.
47:54
Parisi out of the keepin' Vancouver in.
47:56
He's loose behind the Vancouver net.
47:58
He's picked up in back.
48:00
By Mike Robichard, Islanders in it 42 and Ridley looks really taken in goal for Vancouver.
48:05
Just the center by, but the nut skidded out in his own end by Prist Marshall.
48:09
Marshall circles to his own end.
48:11
Goes ahead for Jean Poppet, a lead in center for out of the slot.
48:14
Puts it in on goal, saved by Ridley, plays behind the gate for Snet.
48:18
He loses going back to Salera.
48:20
He tried to jump it out of the point.
48:22
It's deflected and it's stuck in.
48:24
Now thrown out of the zone by Walton.
48:26
Picked up by Marshall and he plays it right back in again after Neistat and Snet.
48:29
Snet goes in back of the net.
48:31
Snet now is put in the field by Neistat and loses.
48:34
How it takes out Robichard to fucking lose.
48:36
Here's a big check.
48:38
Salera now a lead pass to Walton.
48:40
Walton comes across winning off the play by Jean Poppetman.
48:43
My blight is passed out to Robichard.
48:45
The shot is wide.
48:46
Rebound, leading back by Lever.
48:48
Sinners it for Blight.
48:49
It's knocked away.
48:50
Picked up by Robichard.
48:51
Robichard right face off circle in the slot.
48:53
Back on the point now for Snet.
48:55
The shot, third by Russ.
48:57
Rebound Marshall.
48:58
Head for Howlett and he just ducks to Salera.
49:01
It is a wide open thumping hockey game.
49:05
Here's Howlett to center.
49:07
Howlett comes across.
49:09
Knocked down by Robichard.
49:11
The body is flying all over the ice.
49:13
Snet skates in front of the net.
49:15
Loses to Chattier on the right side.
49:17
Chattier goes in back of the net.
49:18
Neistat's in front of the net.
49:19
Chattier's in back.
49:20
Chattier circles.
49:21
Chattier kicks right into the ticket with his skate to get it out.
49:23
Chattier in back of the net.
49:25
Sinners it on the point to Dennis Poppetman.
49:27
The shot is sent in front wide.
49:29
Rebound taken by Howlett.
49:30
Howlett left face off circle in front.
49:32
It's Neistat.
49:33
The shot, go!
49:34
Way to go!
49:35
Way to go!
49:36
Howlett!
49:40
Bobby Neistat set up in front by Howlett.
49:44
Bobby Neistat in front.
49:46
Set up by Howlett.
49:48
Chattier took out the defense.
49:50
Howlett set up Neistat who shot it past Ribling.
49:53
And the Islanders lead it by the two.
49:56
That's the first stand that got playoff goal for Bobby Neistat this year.
50:03
Gary Howlett's definitely going to get an assist on the goal at 8-20.
50:07
And I think Dennis Poppetn, yes, he'll get an assist also.
50:10
Islanders lead it by the two.
50:12
Off the job.
50:13
Bob Morionneis for the first time.
50:15
Chussin on goal.
50:16
Stopped by a rest.
50:17
He holds on for a face off.
50:18
Vancouver offside anyway.
50:20
There's a quick in the action score.
50:22
Islanders, five.
50:23
Vancouver two.
50:26
Taken and back in the hit by Dennis Poppetn.
50:28
Head for Harris but it's too long.
50:30
Stopped by Daly in center.
50:31
He jumps back in.
50:32
Islander A.
50:33
Rush stops behind the Islander K.
50:35
Picked up by Jerry Hart.
50:36
He sends it out for Chattier.
50:37
Now lead for Harris.
50:38
Head for Gillies.
50:39
Gillies loses in center on the check of further guard.
50:41
Here is LaLonde.
50:42
He hurt himself.
50:43
LaLonde was check and went down and he's hurt.
50:45
LaLonde went down in pain.
50:47
The little guy Bobby LaLonde.
50:49
And he went down.
50:50
He hurt a knee or hurt an ankle.
50:53
I hope he's okay.
50:54
Now that looked like a knee or ankle.
50:56
Believe me I know from experience.
50:58
But he had collided with Billy Harris.
51:00
Harris went down on his stomach after the two of them collided.
51:03
I think they banged knees together.
51:05
Harris maybe not getting the better end of it.
51:07
Yep it is LaLonde's knee that is apparently the injured part.
51:11
He's being assisted off the ice.
51:13
He's been hit by a knee.
51:14
He's been hit by a knee.
51:15
He's been hit by a knee.
51:16
He's been hit by a knee.
51:17
He's been hit by a knee.
51:18
He's being assisted off the ice by two really big guys.
51:24
Bob Murray and Bob Daly.
51:26
Little Bobby LaLonde maybe one of the smallest guys in the National Hockey League.
51:31
And he flies around the ice with the biggest of them.
51:36
He can take his checks and give them to.
51:38
But he really took a collusion from Billy Harris.
51:40
Right at about center ice when they were skating in opposite directions
51:43
and met virtually head on.
51:45
I think they collided at the knee if you will.
51:48
And LaLonde is being helped into the locker room.
51:51
It's questionable whether he'll get back in the game.
51:53
The Islanders leading it five to two here in the second period.
51:56
Ten forty nine to go.
51:59
The Islanders are scoring five goals in less than half this game.
52:03
Bob have gotten them from unlikely sources too.
52:07
McMillan and Henning.
52:09
Bobby Nijm of course for your goal scorer Jerry Hart.
52:12
They have a scorer Billy Harris.
52:13
And off the face off there goes big Billy's a center cron.
52:16
Now jumps in and off the boards on the left side after Friday.
52:19
Really tries to play off the boards.
52:21
Kept him by Friday and back of the net.
52:23
Not only is Friday a jump by Daly.
52:25
They bang together big Jaley a little trotty.
52:27
It was like mutton jump and the bucket finally whizzled down.
52:29
Brian Trotty will not back off from anyone.
52:32
He looks small but he's very chunky.
52:34
He's a little bit like the side of your house.
52:37
But they were really banging together.
52:39
Getting another out of town scorer coming up on the scoreboard now.
52:42
And the second period leads Pittsburgh two to nothing.
52:47
That's in the second.
52:49
Colorado to Pittsburgh nothing.
52:51
I'd off the face off and deep back to the right.
52:53
Second by Gary Montaghan.
52:55
He winds it around the board for Dennis Kerns.
52:57
And Kerns looks to skate it out.
52:59
Head down and center right for a priority.
53:01
His pass is broken up and taken back by a priority.
53:03
Can't come in because Montaghan had beat the play and offside.
53:06
Center right daily a long slapper.
53:08
Kicked the side by Chico in the left corner picked up by Bert Marcellaire.
53:11
Bert now throws it out in the front on the right side of Harris.
53:14
He comes to center.
53:15
Head shot.
53:16
He opened his gills.
53:17
Gills.
53:18
He goes down.
53:19
He still isn't back in the net.
53:20
Gills would have been a breakaway if he had been just a little into the small.
53:23
Now the pass is taken by Ridley.
53:25
As he stops the centering pass and he falls in the pocket he holds on to be a face off.
53:31
In a deep bang with a rice.
53:33
Ridley looks really, really like he can be scored upon almost at the Islanders' Leisure.
53:40
He has not looked at all strong.
53:42
He didn't look good at the very beginning of this hockey game.
53:44
He almost looks like he's not paying attention because some of the stocks that he has made
53:48
have been so very casually has been about him.
53:50
I think it's really standard pressure and it happens to everyone.
53:53
Ridley is a rookie who wasn't expected to even make this team.
53:56
The next ranger.
53:58
Now the center ice comes to a cutty.
54:00
A cutty now throws it in.
54:01
After Harris.
54:02
Black plays it in back of the net.
54:04
Gilles keeps it in along the boards and back of the net.
54:07
Now for Harris he got the center.
54:10
It is checked by Monaghan.
54:11
Kicked aside by Harris.
54:13
Literally kicked aside.
54:14
Now Volvergarge just skated out the stop by Marble.
54:16
Shot and saved by Ridley.
54:17
He didn't even know he had it.
54:18
Under his pants he was heavily screened.
54:20
Gary Smith, a great goal-turner then.
54:22
He's fallen into disfavor with management.
54:25
And hurt Ridley.
54:26
He played very well at the end of the season but he is really a raw rookie and it's showing here.
54:31
Ridley has been affected quite a bit especially here in this period.
54:36
The Ominers have come up with three quick goals.
54:38
Heading ten seconds into the period.
54:40
Scored a short-handed goal.
54:42
Macmillan got one.
54:43
Bobby Nistroms finally shook the horse collar.
54:46
It's been around his neck for so long.
54:48
At the end of the regular hockey season it scored a goal for the Ominers.
54:51
Bobby had scored his 23 goals in regular season play.
54:54
And has been shut out for quite a while.
54:57
Finally got back on the scoreboard for the Ominers.
54:59
I think it was 13 games.
55:03
I think you're right.
55:04
And off the face-off and Van Grugeren is taken back by Grisdale.
55:07
Dumps him back for Tracy Pratt.
55:09
Wines him around on the right side.
55:10
Going to be kicked in by Jenny Bobman.
55:12
And a shot.
55:13
Left ball.
55:14
The shot.
55:15
Go.
55:16
Ridley made a big save with a quick save.
55:17
Quick save by Ridley.
55:18
A left ball.
55:19
Just danced a roll in the slot and had his time to pick a spot.
55:22
In back of the net.
55:24
It's taken by Gould and he jumps it out.
55:27
They had to settle down.
55:28
A lead for Adlerson.
55:29
He's checked on the play.
55:30
Wuses control.
55:31
And Marshall just dumps it out of his own zone to center ice.
55:35
Kicked back for Tracy.
55:36
Now a head for heart.
55:37
Part of the pilot aligns.
55:39
Just plays it into Van Grugeren slowly.
55:41
Icing waved off.
55:42
Grisdale takes it behind his net.
55:44
Grisdale gets away from a checking Q&A.
55:47
Sends out Gould.
55:49
Gould's the pass to center ice.
55:50
Goes all the way down.
55:51
This will be icing on the check by Jenny Bobman.
55:53
I know icing is waved off by Neil Armstrong.
55:55
And back of his net heart.
55:56
And all the left ball is for Tracy.
55:58
Kicked to center ice.
56:00
Skating it down Grisdale.
56:02
And icing is called this time by Leon Stickel who went down on the play along with Grisdale.
56:08
Here is a brick in the action.
56:10
With a score of the islanders five and Van Grugeren two.
56:13
Now picked up by Settlebar.
56:15
West Fall and Q&A were there.
56:16
They didn't see the puck.
56:17
Barring out of his own at Settlebar.
56:19
Settlebar comes to the islander line.
56:21
Comes across.
56:22
Dump passes back for Gould.
56:23
His shot is taken by Jean-Papin.
56:24
Pretty stopped losing in front of the Gould.
56:26
The Gould shot is saved by Res and Gould and he holds on.
56:30
Res stood up the blocking pass by.
56:32
And not the time that fell in front of the puck.
56:35
Very nearly backfired on a great play by Jean-Papin.
56:38
He had stopped the initial shot in the face off circle to the left of Chico Res.
56:44
And then after stopping the puck stood up.
56:46
Had the puck on his stake and was looking for an outlook pass.
56:49
Trying to throw it across ice when it was stolen.
56:51
And a quick shot taken.
56:52
But Jean-Papin, Nick and his little play was saved by a good recovery by Chico Res.
57:02
Vancouver sends out Lever, Lawton and Rook Blight.
57:07
Islanders have been nice to line out off the draw.
57:11
It's shot in by Blight right of the cage.
57:13
Taken by Howe.
57:14
Howe tries to clear the zone.
57:16
Bangs at the boards and ear boards and they combine to freeze the puck in.
57:20
John Lever and Mike Wilber die.
57:23
And Andy Salaroff and Gary Howe.
57:27
Face off will come just across the island of Lever.
57:37
Off the face off.
57:38
Vancouver keeps it in.
57:39
And behind it, Denny Popin.
57:41
Islanders have a 5-2 lead here in the second period.
57:43
7-35 left in the third.
57:45
Salaroff's got it clear.
57:46
Cannot stop by Walton.
57:47
And it's shot in broken up by Denny Popin.
57:50
Taken in back of the net by Salaroff.
57:52
Ace now throws out the mainstream on the right wing.
57:54
The mainstream is bodied on the play by Lever.
57:57
Luzi picked up by Hart.
57:58
Hart is turned back by Walton.
58:00
That's who we're doing is a great board check in here.
58:03
Denny Popin looks for a way out.
58:04
Just dumps to Salaroff.
58:05
Salaroff comes to the center.
58:07
Now Andy comes across the line in this line.
58:10
Here's to the right.
58:11
Head for Leicester.
58:12
The shot is over the shoulder of Ridley.
58:14
He's stopped by Hart.
58:15
He's got a 6-7 put by Ridley.
58:17
And he falls in the bucket.
58:18
He holds on.
58:19
Nice drum was there.
58:20
And he had ridden and fell down in the heat
58:22
about five feet out of the table.
58:24
One of those kind of shots is Ridley was not able to control that cut.
58:27
It would have been a sure goal for Bobby Nice Drum.
58:29
Ridley had come out of the net quite a way.
58:31
It's a good six feet out of the net.
58:33
In an attempt to cut down an angle,
58:35
which is not exactly a smart thing to do
58:37
when you've got the opposition standing right behind you.
58:40
It turned out to be Bobby Nice Drum.
58:42
But Ridley covered it up well.
58:43
Now the face-off behind the back of Ridley is taken by Snets.
58:46
Harold Snets.
58:47
Big rookie defenseman.
58:49
Dumped to center-ice.
58:50
The head for Walton.
58:51
And Shaky now puts it into Islander.
58:54
Behind the cage is Denny Potman.
58:58
Denny being forced up by Walton.
59:00
Comes out with a pop.
59:02
A head and center-out for Jerry Hart.
59:04
Hart, a lead for Nice Drum.
59:06
He's crossed the line.
59:07
This might pass his stick.
59:08
And a pick up and back by Robert Dye.
59:10
Robert Dye deals across to Snets.
59:13
A head and center-ice now for Lever.
59:15
Lever steaks quickly to the Islander line.
59:17
Comes across.
59:18
Tries to pull it through hard, but Hart plays the man.
59:20
And he's got him off the plate.
59:22
That comes out.
59:23
Little Howley steaks quickly to the Islander.
59:25
Tanks over the line.
59:26
Comes across.
59:27
A head for Nice Drum.
59:28
That pass for Howard is broken out by a Monaghan.
59:30
He can't get it out.
59:31
Hitting by Denny Potman.
59:32
A head for Howard.
59:33
Howard must die of the net.
59:35
Goes him back into that.
59:36
Looks to center it.
59:37
He's hit.
59:38
Picks a buck ahead of him.
59:39
Hits the chip.
59:40
Back on the point now.
59:41
Denny Potman left point.
59:42
Hart.
59:43
Hart has a shot.
59:44
Saved by Ridley.
59:45
The puck is loose in back of him.
59:46
And picked up by Nice Drum.
59:47
Nice to look to center.
59:48
Nice to miss it by Daley.
59:49
Big Daley.
59:50
And he flips it out of the Yazzone.
59:52
Monaghan, as far as I fast-verb a guard, comes in to shot.
59:55
Goes.
59:56
Ski, skate, skate.
59:57
He's got that cleared by...
59:59
Yes.
1:00:00
There's three more.
1:00:01
I don't know if there are 100.
1:00:02
A crowd has gone crazy.
1:00:05
At the end of one period.
1:00:07
That's right at the end of one.
1:00:09
Buffalo in St. Louis playing the first game tonight.
1:00:11
The first is in St. Louis.
1:00:12
Buffalo couldn't get their arena.
1:00:13
Then the next two will be in Buffalo.
1:00:15
And in the first period, St. Louis leads Buffalo 2-0.
1:00:20
And Bob, that's unbelievable.
1:00:23
Of course, that game has a long way to go.
1:00:25
Buffalo scores a lot of goals.
1:00:26
By Allen, he's dumping it into Vancouver Inn.
1:00:28
Ridley plays off the board.
1:00:30
Now Harris is banged there by O'Flaherty.
1:00:32
He's bucked his line around.
1:00:33
Picked him by Marco.
1:00:34
Left side.
1:00:35
And he goes up the stick and a cannon to center.
1:00:38
Not there by Brian Stadea.
1:00:40
He plays ahead for Harris.
1:00:42
Harris looks to come across the line.
1:00:43
Checked by O'Flaherty.
1:00:44
Bucked Harris across by Brian.
1:00:46
Brian closes.
1:00:47
Brian starts to deal back to Harris.
1:00:49
Block, rebound, move.
1:00:50
Rebound and back to Stadea.
1:00:51
Stadea is knocked down.
1:00:52
The bucket is loose.
1:00:53
Picked up by Daley.
1:00:55
Daley comes out and is packed out by Gillies.
1:00:57
And the puck is not carried to center.
1:00:59
By Monaghan.
1:01:00
And head for O'Flaherty on the right side.
1:01:02
His backhander is deflected by Marshall.
1:01:04
Loose him back.
1:01:05
O'Flaherty back on the point to Daley.
1:01:07
Daley the shot.
1:01:08
Picked saved by Seco.
1:01:10
The rebound.
1:01:11
Shot to the point.
1:01:12
Played in the slot.
1:01:13
Knocked away by Jean-Parle.
1:01:14
And he clears it all the way down.
1:01:16
Rather than fool around anymore.
1:01:18
It'll be icing.
1:01:19
And the touch by Dennis Kearns.
1:01:22
I don't know if Bob continues to carry the play.
1:01:25
And to have many, many chances.
1:01:27
They scored five goals.
1:01:29
But I dare say I wouldn't be surprised if they had seven or eight at this point.
1:01:33
The ononers also are really hustling in this hockey game.
1:01:36
They were a little tight at the beginning.
1:01:38
And gave up a couple of goals.
1:01:40
Maravigarh got getting the first one of three minutes into the hockey game.
1:01:43
But the ononers have really fought back.
1:01:45
And have completely dominated this game.
1:01:47
Since about the ten minute mark of that first period.
1:01:50
And certainly in this second period they're really taking it to Vancouver.
1:01:53
Off the face off.
1:01:54
Back on the point.
1:01:55
Grisdale the shot is saved by Seco.
1:01:57
Now Warming up to start to make some excellent saves.
1:02:00
Rebound in the slot.
1:02:01
O'Flaherty moves back in.
1:02:02
On the point the shot by Plattis a bad one.
1:02:04
And it's stick broke.
1:02:06
And it's sent to center-ized.
1:02:07
Jump to center-ized by Eddie Westphal.
1:02:09
A reminder.
1:02:10
And I really have not made this point enough.
1:02:12
We will carry the game.
1:02:14
Thursday night from Vancouver our center-high show will begin at 10.45.
1:02:20
We will be live on the air from Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver.
1:02:24
Thursday night with game number two of this.
1:02:26
Best of three series.
1:02:28
Vancouver coming out of their own air.
1:02:30
Ahead for Arleson as the pass is broken up.
1:02:32
Gouin plays it in but is stated out by Grisdale right to the iron line.
1:02:35
Grisdale comes across.
1:02:36
Fluffing pass.
1:02:37
The shot.
1:02:38
Clothed by Seco.
1:02:39
And Seco plays it in back of the net but there was a quick whistle.
1:02:42
A very quick whistle by Lloyd Gilmore and the face off will be down in Islander End.
1:02:46
There's a brick in the action.
1:02:47
Score.
1:02:48
Islander five.
1:02:49
Vancouver two.
1:02:50
Come across the Vancouver line right side Gouin.
1:02:52
He goes in back.
1:02:53
Bodies on the play but Nick plays him back from Breezy.
1:02:56
Breezy hit by Grisdale but recovers.
1:02:58
And the slot.
1:03:00
Denny Potman.
1:03:01
He made a move.
1:03:02
It was the bucket off the stick by Johnny Gould as center ice.
1:03:04
Kept there by Hart.
1:03:05
Jerry plays it all the way back in his own air for Denny Potman.
1:03:08
Islanders have a five to lead with three ten remaining in the second period.
1:03:12
Ahead instead of a Gouin.
1:03:13
Checking out the play by Hopper.
1:03:14
Underflamin is left in the second period.
1:03:16
Arleson to the Islander line.
1:03:18
Ahead now for a match.
1:03:20
Last shot broken up by Jerry Hart.
1:03:22
Islanders playing much much better defense here.
1:03:24
Breezy starts to come out.
1:03:26
Breezy now.
1:03:27
White wing fans for Westfall.
1:03:29
Eddie comes across.
1:03:30
Loses to Settlebauer.
1:03:31
Settlebauer tries to clear cannot.
1:03:33
And now Settlebauer on the ice throws a stick at it.
1:03:36
Not to the Vancouver line.
1:03:38
Carrot is center by Harold Snips.
1:03:40
Gouin kicks it back to Denny Potman in his own air.
1:03:43
Gouin has been marvelous tonight.
1:03:45
Denny to center.
1:03:46
A lead for Niceburn just offside.
1:03:48
Blade in back of the net by Gary Howlett.
1:03:50
Howlett centers it in front as to f**k it wide.
1:03:52
We've met Howlett in back.
1:03:53
Howlett now tries to center it.
1:03:55
Sends it back to the point. Marshall shot saved by Ridley.
1:03:57
Down and all.
1:03:58
Blade to knees to stop it.
1:04:00
And back of the net. Howlett.
1:04:02
Howlett in back is belted now by Snips.
1:04:04
Huckins picked up though by Sal LaRoy.
1:04:06
He plays in the back of the cage.
1:04:08
Ticking away by Robichyne.
1:04:09
He clears his own as he jumps all the way down slowly to Islander end.
1:04:13
Stopped by Denny Potman.
1:04:15
Denny out of his own air.
1:04:16
And the pass missed by Sal LaRoy.
1:04:18
Goes all the way down to Niceburn.
1:04:19
He's been waved off by the Armstrong.
1:04:21
Niceburn really felt it snips and knocked him down.
1:04:24
A head now and center eyes for Blight.
1:04:27
A lead for Lever.
1:04:29
Lever this shot is broken up by John Popman's stick.
1:04:31
A rebound taken by Walton.
1:04:33
Back on the point the f**kers is shot tip wide.
1:04:35
Rebound him back.
1:04:36
Walton he centers it.
1:04:37
But the only one there is Gary Howlett.
1:04:38
And how it will come out.
1:04:39
A lead is broken up by a f**kers.
1:04:42
But as f**kers came across,
1:04:43
Ben Kueber goes offside.
1:04:45
Robert.
1:04:46
The Islanders very nearly had themselves a penalty just a little bit ago
1:04:49
when Jerry Harding's Braestail got in it.
1:04:52
And they're getting that confirmation of that
1:04:56
out of town score on the scoreboard.
1:04:58
They had originally put it up as a type of Grand Polaroid,
1:05:00
if you will, when it was 20 to nothing.
1:05:02
They just corrected it.
1:05:03
St. Louis, Leeds, Buffalo, 2 to nothing in that second period.
1:05:07
Only one penalty has been called in this second period.
1:05:10
We had six penalties called in the first period.
1:05:12
The Islanders have really come out smoking
1:05:14
to start this second period a minute 25 of it left to go.
1:05:18
Off the face of it.
1:05:20
And the Islanders have been centerized daily.
1:05:22
He sends a head for Lever. Lever comes across.
1:05:24
In front the shot is broken up by West.
1:05:26
Pretty safe.
1:05:27
Chico came out, f**ked down the angle.
1:05:29
Left Lever nothing to shoot at.
1:05:31
Here's a 3 on 2 break.
1:05:32
Nice one.
1:05:33
Head for Howlett.
1:05:34
Howlett comes in, gets builded by Daley.
1:05:36
Daley gets builded by Nice.
1:05:37
And the f**kers cleared on the left side of the net.
1:05:40
Now, in back of the net, Salah Rawan.
1:05:41
He and Daley come together.
1:05:42
Taking away by Howlett.
1:05:43
Howlett with under a minute.
1:05:44
Tries to center it, but it goes all the way down ice.
1:05:46
Under a minute, left in the second period,
1:05:48
and he's down to the left.
1:05:50
And the ball is set up by John Popman,
1:05:52
deflected coming down as Gillies closing in.
1:05:54
Fish up.
1:05:55
Went wide, and chipped in and goes over the glass.
1:05:59
One of the Chinook's defensemen fell down.
1:06:02
I don't want to look and see it.
1:06:03
It wasn't Daley, but it would be the other one.
1:06:05
I guess it's Dennis Jones who was on anyway.
1:06:08
And Gillies came down that left flank.
1:06:10
And even that much room to shoot at,
1:06:12
but he shot to the short side and went off Ridley's shoulder.
1:06:15
A puck was deflected just even before it really had a...
1:06:17
Ridley had much of a chance to make much of a save,
1:06:19
what it amounted to, I think.
1:06:21
It appeared that the puck might have hit his stick,
1:06:23
and he had stuck his stick out in front on an angle of sorts.
1:06:26
And then the puck would have hopped up in the air,
1:06:28
off of his stick, and off of his shoulder,
1:06:30
and then on up into the stands.
1:06:34
All right.
1:06:35
Shiny comes across the line.
1:06:36
The set on goal is wide.
1:06:37
Rebound.
1:06:38
Params out to the left point to heart.
1:06:39
He plays it along the boards with Gillies.
1:06:41
Gillies throws it back in that study.
1:06:42
Brian comes in back of the Vancouver neck.
1:06:45
He throws it, leaves it in back for Gillies.
1:06:47
Gillies trying to clear it out.
1:06:48
He does.
1:06:49
On the left side, Kadya acid.
1:06:50
Dennis Burns will skate it out of his own.
1:06:53
Denny Poppe had threw it back in,
1:06:55
but the puck had just come out before Denny Poppe had smacked it back in.
1:06:58
And so it is offside, and the face off will come in if you ice up.
1:07:01
In the second period, up in Toronto,
1:07:04
Pittsburgh was trailing 2-0,
1:07:06
and now the score is Toronto 3 and Pittsburgh 0-0.
1:07:10
All those games that we tell you about are the first of the best of three.
1:07:14
Qualifying round.
1:07:18
23 seconds remaining in the second period.
1:07:20
Islanders have a 5-2 lead.
1:07:22
They have scored the only three goals in the second period.
1:07:25
Off the face off to center ice to bug it in by Vancouver.
1:07:28
Rest, wait until the goal to clear the puck,
1:07:30
and heart ties to send it out of the zone.
1:07:32
Scott at the point by Daly and Gillies,
1:07:35
and they combine a freeze and in with 10 seconds remaining in the third,
1:07:38
the face off will be midway between the Islanders right face off circle
1:07:42
and the Islanders will learn.
1:07:44
Two short handed goals so far in this game.
1:07:46
Two power play goals, one for each side of the red variety,
1:07:50
and we've had three regular type goals scored by the Islanders,
1:07:54
and they lead it 5-2.
1:07:55
Off the face off, dumped in by Vancouver,
1:07:58
taken by Hart, right side of the net.
1:08:00
Looks to play it out, cannot.
1:08:01
Daly keeps it in his shot as tip wide,
1:08:03
and the buzzer of sound, the period ends.
1:08:05
In that period, the Islanders really dominated,
1:08:15
bumping the body, getting a lot of breaks.
1:08:17
Chico Redshaw became very, very secure in goal,
1:08:21
and it was all Islanders in the second.
1:08:24
Good old Opie, James O'Brien of the New York Post,
1:08:30
will be the guest of Bob Lawrence between the second and third.
1:08:32
Bob will also run down the goals, penalties,
1:08:36
shots on goal, etc.
1:08:38
And then he'll talk to Opie,
1:08:40
and then we'll get back for the third period
1:08:42
as the Islanders try to hold onto their 5-2 lead.
1:08:45
At the end of two of the policy,
1:08:47
the Islanders 5, and the Vancouver Canucks 2.
1:08:51
As you well know,
1:08:54
there are minutes and a half that you try to sit on a lead,
1:08:57
and that's when you're most vulnerable,
1:08:58
so the Islanders still must attack.
1:09:01
However, there are ways of attacking,
1:09:03
and still you're able to keep a man back, a two-man back.
1:09:08
They're not having all three forwards
1:09:10
far behind the net, the opposing net.
1:09:13
Islanders will begin with the veteran line,
1:09:15
Gracie Jern and Westfall.
1:09:18
Vancouver will begin with Adleston,
1:09:21
Johnny Gould and Ron Settlebar.
1:09:26
Those runners remain the same.
1:09:27
Ridley to go to our right, Rush to go to our left,
1:09:29
Islanders shoot it down.
1:09:32
Cleared to the goers by Ridley,
1:09:34
Niceham comes on immediately for Westfall,
1:09:36
looking to rest Eddie, I guess, in the beginning of this period.
1:09:39
But round around the goers,
1:09:40
Westfall, right wing, gets it down to the point to Marshall,
1:09:43
along to Juan and the right-side,
1:09:44
he centers it, but no one in the slot,
1:09:46
and he's going to be taken away by John Gould.
1:09:48
Gould is center, a long slapper,
1:09:50
well down by Chico.
1:09:52
Leaves him back for J.B. Lewis,
1:09:54
comes from behind the net,
1:09:55
is checked by Settlebar,
1:09:57
and he's been fucked loose behind the net,
1:09:59
taken away by Bert Marshall.
1:10:00
Islanders lead it five to as we begin the third.
1:10:02
Now, Niceham puts it to center-ice,
1:10:06
sending it all the way down to Vancouver,
1:10:08
and taken by Robichy.
1:10:09
Robichy is passing, broken up by Westfall.
1:10:11
Westfall comes across, one man to beat,
1:10:13
Westfall, the back-handed, saved by Ridley,
1:10:15
and he sweeps it clear to Harold Snets.
1:10:18
Westfall beats Snets, couldn't get it past Ridley,
1:10:20
he made a nice save.
1:10:21
In back of the net, Marisi,
1:10:23
Westfall now has rejoined his line,
1:10:25
and he's taken it back to center-ice for a moment.
1:10:27
They have been to get some equipment change,
1:10:29
round around the boards by Juann,
1:10:31
and Lewis can't keep it in the come-to-center-ice,
1:10:33
stopped by Marshall.
1:10:34
Lewis plays it right back in again,
1:10:36
taken there by Harold Snets.
1:10:38
Snets leads for Settlebar, broken up by Marshall,
1:10:40
with deflection to Islander,
1:10:41
and to the ice, taken by Davey Lewis.
1:10:43
He goes around his own net,
1:10:45
now makes a turn and heads up ice,
1:10:46
skating beautifully.
1:10:47
Davey Lewis, the Vancouver line,
1:10:49
a lead for Westfall.
1:10:50
This shot is broken up, rebound Lewis,
1:10:52
went wide, rebound Lewis in back of the net,
1:10:54
and then he's called.
1:10:55
Westfall in back, circles,
1:10:57
comes out to the left point,
1:10:58
right point Denny Potman, this shot!
1:11:00
Kick save Ridley, and it goes in the crowd.
1:11:02
There's a break in the action.
1:11:04
Where's this score?
1:11:05
The Islander is five, and Vancouver two.
1:11:08
Bob, the Islanders are picking up
1:11:10
right where they lost out in the second period,
1:11:12
pumping the bodies and getting good opportunities on goal.
1:11:15
They've got to do it too,
1:11:16
they've got to keep doing it.
1:11:17
In a sense, I think, I've taken Vancouver out of their game,
1:11:20
trying to close checking,
1:11:22
and they've done it by the use of the body,
1:11:24
and really, Vancouver's not giving it back.
1:11:26
Out the face off, in Vancouver,
1:11:29
and Howlett bangs it against the board,
1:11:30
tries to center it, he does,
1:11:32
but Salahroa knocked off the stick by Grisdale,
1:11:35
throws it in back for Tracy Pratt,
1:11:37
and Pratt quickly helps a rip,
1:11:38
like the center ice.
1:11:40
White net comes to the Island line,
1:11:42
here to the right, has it knocked off the stick
1:11:43
and sent to center,
1:11:44
and it will be skated to center by Gary Howlett.
1:11:46
Howlett, a lead, nice and onside,
1:11:48
this shot!
1:11:49
Saved by Ridley in front,
1:11:50
and hit him in the chest, and that hurt.
1:11:52
And the rebound is clear to center by Lever.
1:11:54
A head for Blight,
1:11:55
Blight comes across on the right,
1:11:57
takes the slapper,
1:11:58
tries to draw around Hardt,
1:11:59
and Hardt took it right off the stick.
1:12:01
He played the man beautifully.
1:12:03
Behind the net,
1:12:04
a great Salahroa.
1:12:06
A lead from Niceden,
1:12:07
Niceden comes to center.
1:12:08
Niceden comes to the Vanquieville Island,
1:12:10
the wrist shot is wide.
1:12:11
Carmes out left side,
1:12:13
after Blight and Howlett pair in memory,
1:12:15
hit the puck to center,
1:12:16
to walk the head for Lever across,
1:12:19
his slapper is broken up by Jenny Poppett.
1:12:21
And he leaves Niceden out of the zone.
1:12:23
Bobby comes across on the right side,
1:12:25
blind,
1:12:26
tries to throw it in front,
1:12:27
deflected by Tracy Pratt,
1:12:28
picked up and backed by Niceden.
1:12:30
Niceden cannot clear it,
1:12:32
or center,
1:12:33
and it will be skated out by Vervegard.
1:12:35
Dennis Vervegard takes the slapper,
1:12:37
comes across the line,
1:12:38
throws it in front,
1:12:39
but it's cleared by Burt Marshall.
1:12:41
Marshall leaves it in back of the zone,
1:12:43
and Niceden throws it against the board,
1:12:46
for Chetty, but not out.
1:12:47
Picked him by Vancouver,
1:12:49
and back of his own net,
1:12:50
Davey Lewis.
1:12:51
Lewis looks up Niceden,
1:12:52
throws it down Niceden,
1:12:53
icing his wave dog,
1:12:54
going all over the land,
1:12:55
everybody missed it.
1:12:56
Maybe Snut cuts the puck,
1:12:57
maybe that's why icing his wave dog.
1:12:59
Vancouver looks to clear their zone,
1:13:01
a head in center for Monaghan,
1:13:03
taken away by Lewis,
1:13:04
and back from the islanders.
1:13:05
Here's Gillies across the slapper,
1:13:07
quick line.
1:13:08
Carmes out right point to Harris,
1:13:10
Harris keeps it in by playing it
1:13:11
in back of the Vancouver net,
1:13:13
carming around on the wing,
1:13:15
played in back of the net now by Robotsy.
1:13:19
Gillies and Vermegar came together,
1:13:21
so they're reasonable to you,
1:13:23
and they're ready to go out each other.
1:13:25
Coming out of his own net now,
1:13:26
is O'Flaherty.
1:13:27
A lead for Monaghan,
1:13:29
Gary Monaghan across on the right side,
1:13:31
Johnson-Docs O'Flaherty.
1:13:32
O'Flaherty, check and nut on the seat of his
1:13:34
trans-bike, Johnny.
1:13:35
As I said, there are real body checks
1:13:37
tonight, third body checks,
1:13:39
out of his own end, Marshall.
1:13:41
A lead for Gillies,
1:13:42
Arthas Stickles all the way down.
1:13:44
In back of the net,
1:13:45
Robotsy tries to line it around the board,
1:13:47
as he does, on the left wing for Monaghan.
1:13:49
Monaghan comes up for the left wing,
1:13:51
comes over the line,
1:13:53
hears from the left side,
1:13:54
throws it in front,
1:13:55
glued by Clark Gillies,
1:13:57
and is going to be a penalty called
1:13:59
by Lloyd Gilmore, away from the play.
1:14:02
Trottier and Vermegar,
1:14:03
men in the slot,
1:14:04
Trottier is going off,
1:14:06
and it will be an island of penalty,
1:14:08
Robert, going to be a cross-checking penalty,
1:14:10
and Trottier,
1:14:11
starts streaking down the crease,
1:14:14
trying to get in front in position.
1:14:16
Brian Trottier steps in front of him,
1:14:18
and cross-checks him,
1:14:19
and they're calling an interference now,
1:14:21
in any event,
1:14:22
now, time of the penalty for 23.
1:14:24
Now, let's pause 15 seconds for station identification.
1:14:26
This is New York Island, Ahaki.
1:14:29
Sallie Jesse Rafael,
1:14:31
on from 1 to 3,
1:14:32
there's a marvelous program.
1:14:34
15.37.
1:14:35
Well, since Stanley cut game number one,
1:14:38
Island is holding a 5-2 liter of Van Gogh,
1:14:40
to drop the draw.
1:14:41
Daley's going to point the shot.
1:14:42
Goal!
1:14:43
Rest never sought a bullet from the right point,
1:14:46
from the blue line,
1:14:47
by Bob Daley,
1:14:48
and rest never sought a bullet by Daley,
1:14:52
and it is 5-3.
1:14:56
It only took him 4 seconds of that penalty
1:14:58
to get the score,
1:14:59
virtually off of face-off.
1:15:01
Daley gets his first goal of his playoff series,
1:15:04
and Adlerson will get the assist,
1:15:07
for winning the face-off.
1:15:09
And we're now a 5-3 Ahaki game.
1:15:11
Time of that goal is at 4.27,
1:15:13
up to third period,
1:15:14
the Islander's still with a 2-goal edge.
1:15:17
But as fans of that one would score,
1:15:19
the Islander's really up to watch out.
1:15:20
That's the second power play goal of the game,
1:15:22
the Islanders have given up.
1:15:27
About one day,
1:15:28
Islanders,
1:15:29
not characteristic of them,
1:15:30
to give up two power play goals in a game,
1:15:32
they had the best percentage of,
1:15:36
against power play goals,
1:15:38
this year.
1:15:40
And it has not worked that way tonight.
1:15:42
Islanders gotta keep trucking here.
1:15:44
They lead it 5-3,
1:15:45
but another goal on Vancouver is right on their backs.
1:15:48
Off the draw,
1:15:49
Islanders dump it in,
1:15:50
Vancouver now flips it out all the way down.
1:15:52
No Isomal would be called.
1:15:53
Wave got by Linesman,
1:15:54
you know, it's taken place.
1:15:55
And back to the zone at by Jerry Hart.
1:15:57
15-15,
1:15:58
Bustin Ahaki game,
1:16:00
5-3.
1:16:01
Islanders holding the 2-goal lead.
1:16:02
Daley from the Senate,
1:16:03
dumps it in,
1:16:04
tipped in by O'Flaherty,
1:16:05
laid behind the cage by Jenny Klottman,
1:16:07
Jenny leaves him back for Jerry Hart.
1:16:09
And head to San Juan,
1:16:12
a lead for Nysham,
1:16:13
now the return to San Juan.
1:16:14
And he comes across,
1:16:16
and as he comes across,
1:16:17
he loses to O'Flaherty,
1:16:19
but Nysham gets it back,
1:16:20
and he dumps it in.
1:16:21
After now,
1:16:22
San Juan picked up by Daley and back.
1:16:24
Daley passed out his Y,
1:16:26
defunded by Nysham,
1:16:27
but take away by O'Flaherty.
1:16:28
And head for Monahan,
1:16:29
Monahan, a long slap,
1:16:30
is dug down by Chico and Gull,
1:16:33
leaves him back for J.B. Lewis,
1:16:34
he winds it around the board,
1:16:36
but not out,
1:16:37
kept in by O'Flaherty,
1:16:38
and the shot saved by a wrist.
1:16:39
He had the quick blow,
1:16:40
then on the doorstep,
1:16:41
for Gary Monahan.
1:16:42
Here is a brick in the action,
1:16:44
with the score,
1:16:45
the hour is five,
1:16:46
and then two,
1:16:47
and we're three.
1:16:48
So,
1:16:49
the hour has come in,
1:16:50
and Shabahara is saved by Ridley,
1:16:51
and on the rebound,
1:16:52
Shadi A.
1:16:53
fuck just went wide,
1:16:54
taken out by Monahan.
1:16:55
Monahan up by his,
1:16:56
shot score settle bar,
1:16:57
he comes across,
1:16:58
he's shot on Gull,
1:16:59
weak one,
1:17:00
broken up by a wrist,
1:17:01
cleared by Chico.
1:17:02
Shadi A.
1:17:03
almost got that rebound,
1:17:04
he would have a goal for sure.
1:17:06
Shadi A.
1:17:07
wheezes away at ice,
1:17:08
comes across,
1:17:09
has it knocked away,
1:17:10
and sent to center ice
1:17:11
by Bob Murray.
1:17:12
Murray hasn't been on much,
1:17:13
he's a young defense team too.
1:17:14
To center ice now,
1:17:15
brick monster,
1:17:16
circles back,
1:17:17
and head now for Parisi,
1:17:18
and deep comes across,
1:17:19
a lead for Westfall,
1:17:20
broken up,
1:17:21
and dumped to center ice
1:17:22
by Arleson.
1:17:23
Taken in his own hand,
1:17:25
by Daley,
1:17:26
looked across ice by Murray,
1:17:27
and Murray skates it up.
1:17:28
He jumps it in off the board,
1:17:29
stopped by Chico and back,
1:17:30
leaves for Jerry Hart.
1:17:31
He's got a good shot,
1:17:32
leaves for Jerry Hart.
1:17:34
Hart and back in his own cage,
1:17:37
and Jerry comes out.
1:17:38
Now, head and center ice
1:17:39
for Westfall,
1:17:40
over skates,
1:17:41
is going to be taken back
1:17:42
by Vancouver.
1:17:43
Set about, guns it in,
1:17:44
on goal,
1:17:45
kicked saved by Chico.
1:17:46
Clears to it,
1:17:47
Jerry Hart,
1:17:48
and Hart looks up ice.
1:17:49
A lead for Parisi,
1:17:50
a dumps it in,
1:17:51
Patrick Jouin,
1:17:52
and back in a minute
1:17:53
with a robot attack,
1:17:54
cleared by Ridley,
1:17:55
to the far side.
1:17:56
Parisi keeps it in,
1:17:57
Parisi,
1:17:58
leaves for Jouin
1:17:59
along the right floor,
1:18:00
is now Parisi guns it around the boards,
1:18:02
kicked in by Denny Potman.
1:18:04
Denny, going way down deep,
1:18:05
loses to Setterbar,
1:18:06
and Setterbar comes out of his own.
1:18:09
Right head and center
1:18:10
for Oblacenor, Vancouver.
1:18:12
He leads Setterbar in too long,
1:18:14
and Hart will play it right back out again.
1:18:15
It's going to go all the way down,
1:18:16
and this definitely will be icing.
1:18:18
I'm attached by Tracy Front,
1:18:20
back to the zone there.
1:18:21
There is a break in the action,
1:18:23
with this score,
1:18:24
the Alun is five,
1:18:25
and Vancouver three.
1:18:26
Morphan has everything
1:18:28

1:18:51
at the 11th great Morphan store,
1:18:53
is in New York,
1:18:54

1:18:56
John Stirling at Bob Lawson,
1:18:58
back at Nassau College,
1:19:00
Sam, the, uh,
1:19:01
and Jarr has been whistled down,
1:19:03
and there'll be another face-off
1:19:04
in deep down on the rice pad.
1:19:05
One of the things the Aluners
1:19:06
are trying to get back and maintain,
1:19:08
at least, is that pressure,
1:19:09
offensive pressure,
1:19:10
and Vancouver's in,
1:19:11
but they've lost their passing touch,
1:19:13
not spending the good passes
1:19:14
that they were early in the game.
1:19:15
Off the face-off,
1:19:16
hit around the face,
1:19:17
is Bratt.
1:19:18
Bratt, I guess, is okay,
1:19:20
as he skates back on deep ends.
1:19:22
He's got a stick.
1:19:23
Unavoidable, but the stick
1:19:24
caught him up high.
1:19:25
Here's Paris,
1:19:26
he's trying to come across the line.
1:19:27
He comes across,
1:19:29
pulls his way in on the left side.
1:19:30
Left face-off circle,
1:19:31
puts to center.
1:19:32
He's taken a duck there by Oblis,
1:19:33
and they jammed together.
1:19:34
Oblis and Parisie,
1:19:36
Jouin,
1:19:37
Blight,
1:19:38
and, uh,
1:19:39
Grisdale,
1:19:40
and there'll be a face-off
1:19:41
in deep down in Vancouver and Bob.
1:19:43
Looks like Parisie might have been
1:19:44
shaken up a little bit,
1:19:45
as he was coming in,
1:19:46
uh, across the blue line
1:19:47
with a puck,
1:19:48
when he got banged into the boards
1:19:49
by Blight,
1:19:50
and he went back and said something
1:19:51
to, uh, Jerry Hart.
1:19:53
What I'm not sure is if, uh,
1:19:55
cover me up or something or other,
1:19:57
now, uh, Hart is skated down
1:19:58
a far end of the ice,
1:20:00
and this is a little bit like
1:20:01
he might have been looking for something.
1:20:03
Well, you see guys on the, uh,
1:20:05
oh, he has found something.
1:20:07
His mouth guard.
1:20:08
That's what he lost.
1:20:09
He went back to retreating.
1:20:10
His mouth guard.
1:20:11
You know,
1:20:12
he could have lost, uh,
1:20:13
all hockey players at Falls C.
1:20:16
I say, oh, most hockey players
1:20:17
at Falls C.
1:20:18
I said,
1:20:19
but that happens, too.
1:20:20
But I guess it was a mouth guard.
1:20:21
In the third game,
1:20:22
they made the lead guard.
1:20:25
He's Toronto leads at this point,
1:20:26
three to one.
1:20:27
In the second bird,
1:20:28
in St. Louis at the arena.
1:20:30
St. Louis with the shotter.
1:20:31
By the way,
1:20:32
Cratt is going off the ice.
1:20:34
He got hit with a stick
1:20:35
up in his face,
1:20:36
and he's probably going to go
1:20:37
off his stitches.
1:20:38
He will be back.
1:20:39
He's skating more,
1:20:40
walking okay.
1:20:41
Now,
1:20:42
the on is going to make a change.
1:20:44
I couldn't give that score.
1:20:45
In the second period,
1:20:46
St. Louis leads Buffalo 2-0,
1:20:47
and that really would be a shotter.
1:20:48
Buffalo would go back
1:20:49
to the on-board.
1:20:50
And they'd have to win both games.
1:20:52
And that's pressure.
1:20:53
I don't care
1:20:54
whether the home ice
1:20:55
or not,
1:20:56
that's really pressure.
1:20:57
And especially
1:20:58
against a team like St. Louis,
1:20:59
who could have Buffalo
1:21:00
really spinning,
1:21:01
thinking,
1:21:02
hey, what do we do wrong
1:21:03
to be down again to this team?
1:21:04
That's a team everybody
1:21:05
wanted to play
1:21:06
first round.
1:21:07
It doesn't,
1:21:08
it never works out,
1:21:09
exactly.
1:21:10
Off the faceoff,
1:21:11
in Vancouver end,
1:21:12
taking by Robert's eye,
1:21:13
he just skips it high
1:21:14
to center ice.
1:21:15
That's like Denny Poppey
1:21:16
makes a circle.
1:21:17
Good move by Denny.
1:21:18
A lead bow,
1:21:19
Westfall across.
1:21:20
Westfall has it knocked
1:21:21
off the state
1:21:22
by
1:21:23
Adelson,
1:21:24
landed back to the cage
1:21:25
by
1:21:26
Robert's eye,
1:21:27
and now to center ice
1:21:28
to lead pass,
1:21:29
goes to Adelson,
1:21:30
comes across the island of line,
1:21:31
holds up to the left point,
1:21:32
tries to feed it through
1:21:33
St. Louis,
1:21:34
Westfall,
1:21:35
here's a breakaway,
1:21:36
one on none,
1:21:37
Westfall down ice,
1:21:38
the shot,
1:21:39
but why?
1:21:40
We've got
1:21:41
Bariisi,
1:21:42
placing him back
1:21:43
for Westfall,
1:21:44
he centers it,
1:21:45
is to fucking in front
1:21:46
by Snip,
1:21:47
played by Westfall in front,
1:21:48
and then he's gone.
1:21:49
Back to center,
1:21:50
settle down
1:21:51
for Van Cooley,
1:21:52
across the line,
1:21:53
knocked off his stick
1:21:54
beautifully by
1:21:55
Jerry Hart,
1:21:56
folkship,
1:21:57
ahead for Ise.
1:21:58
Here's a three on three,
1:21:59
Bariisi plays it in,
1:22:00
Westfall,
1:22:01
wait inside of an X,
1:22:02
looks to center it,
1:22:03
body down to play though,
1:22:04
by Bob Murray,
1:22:05
and sent to center ice
1:22:06
by Van Cooley.
1:22:07
Westfall
1:22:08
picked his spot,
1:22:09
but he shot it
1:22:10
a little high,
1:22:11
a little wide.
1:22:12
Now to center ice
1:22:13
comes,
1:22:14
shoot,
1:22:15
drill in for the
1:22:16
Epp Allenies,
1:22:17
three lead.
1:22:18
Allenies is going to be
1:22:19
offside,
1:22:20
as Langton is caught
1:22:21
in the zone,
1:22:22
Salaron banged it
1:22:23
all the way down.
1:22:24
Well,
1:22:25
I thought that
1:22:26
Westfall,
1:22:27
he's going to be cut off
1:22:28
by Snip,
1:22:29
he picked a good spot,
1:22:30
he just missed it.
1:22:31
I think the puck
1:22:32
just kind of
1:22:33
got away from him,
1:22:34
he might have been
1:22:35
hurrying it a little bit,
1:22:36
and the puck was up
1:22:37
on the edge of his stick,
1:22:38
and when he shot it,
1:22:39
it just tipped off the edge,
1:22:40
and it went wide
1:22:41
on the edge to the left
1:22:42
of Ridley,
1:22:43
had a golden opportunity though,
1:22:44
tough break.
1:22:45
Off the face off,
1:22:46
and it's a little bit of a
1:22:47
wilder shoot all the way down,
1:22:48
Ridley stopped behind it,
1:22:49
pick it up,
1:22:50
there's Murray behind,
1:22:51
loses,
1:22:52
Salaron banged together,
1:22:53
a lowlittle flowery,
1:22:54
and they combined it,
1:22:55
bruises.
1:22:56
Give me a face off again,
1:22:57
deep in Vancouver,
1:22:58
right?
1:22:59
Something that the
1:23:00
Allenies have been trying
1:23:01
to accomplish,
1:23:02
and I think it's beginning
1:23:03
to show signs that they
1:23:04
have accomplished it.
1:23:05
They came out hitting,
1:23:06
Van Kuber was hitting back,
1:23:07
now the Allenies
1:23:08
continue to hit,
1:23:09
Van Kuber now looks as if
1:23:10
they're looking for that
1:23:11
hit to come,
1:23:12
and they're more concerned
1:23:13
about getting banged
1:23:14
into the boards
1:23:15
off the drawback,
1:23:16
Kuber will skate it out,
1:23:17
Whelton comes down to
1:23:18
left side,
1:23:19
Whelton over the line,
1:23:20
Big Slapper is high
1:23:21
over the cage,
1:23:22
against the glass and back,
1:23:23
and Salaron's out to the point,
1:23:25
kept in by Blythe,
1:23:26
he plays it behind the
1:23:27
Allen of Caden,
1:23:28
played there by Burt Marzell.
1:23:30
Writers coming off the ice,
1:23:32
and now at the center,
1:23:34
I spend Salaron to help,
1:23:35
how it hits the spot,
1:23:37
shoots all the way down.
1:23:38
Behind it,
1:23:39
Niceman on the right side,
1:23:40
Niceman goes behind it,
1:23:41
looks to center it,
1:23:42
he does center it,
1:23:43
back to the point,
1:23:44
and Marzell,
1:23:45
the shot saved by Whelton,
1:23:46
he made a good save,
1:23:47
he came out and stopped that buck,
1:23:49
he cut the angle down very well,
1:23:50
Marzell didn't have a goal this year,
1:23:52
I don't believe it,
1:23:53
he almost had one there,
1:23:54
Vancouver kind of cleared this
1:23:56
all they do,
1:23:57
Whelton just tips the puck to center ice,
1:23:59
am I right about that?
1:24:00
That's right,
1:24:01
Ian Forte,
1:24:02
the only one who didn't score this year,
1:24:03
Marzell has had two good shots
1:24:04
tonight in the Stanley Cup game,
1:24:06
Allen is losing,
1:24:07
he center ice,
1:24:08
back comes Verbergar,
1:24:09
comes across the line,
1:24:10
jumps it in,
1:24:11
all the way down,
1:24:12
Marzell took Verbergar out of the play,
1:24:13
he's got that collar,
1:24:14
circles it in,
1:24:15
loses to O'Flaherty,
1:24:16
the shot saved in front by Arrest,
1:24:18
oh,
1:24:19
and the reason I've been taking it back,
1:24:21
Mike,
1:24:22
shot it in,
1:24:23
hit from behind by O'Flaherty,
1:24:24
loses control,
1:24:25
but taken away by Bert Marzell,
1:24:26
Marzell,
1:24:27
checked there by O'Flaherty,
1:24:28
and O'Flaherty hit about eight people
1:24:29
on that play,
1:24:30
and he,
1:24:31
by himself,
1:24:32
helped create a faceoff
1:24:34
deep in island of ice.
1:24:35
I'm not sure, John,
1:24:36
but I think that shot hit the post,
1:24:38
it looked like it,
1:24:39
that would be the third time
1:24:40
that post has been hit,
1:24:41
in the hate in this game,
1:24:43
twice by the O'Flaherters,
1:24:44
we got a third goalie out there,
1:24:46
and they were wearing a metal suit,
1:24:47
but it was on the short side,
1:24:49
and Arrest,
1:24:50
I got made to say,
1:24:51
but I think it did go across the,
1:24:53
the ball area,
1:24:55
the crease,
1:24:56
and it may have skimmed it,
1:24:57
that post has good points.
1:24:59
It was very close,
1:25:00
let's face it,
1:25:01
off the draw,
1:25:02
and Dr. Verbergar,
1:25:03
he tries to center it,
1:25:04
he cannot do it,
1:25:05
he's kicked away by Marzell,
1:25:07
and it's gonna be,
1:25:08
kept in by that,
1:25:09
and I'll watch him plays it out.
1:25:11
A lead for Gillies,
1:25:12
a cross the line big guy,
1:25:13
clock the shot,
1:25:14
his line,
1:25:15
Aaron's out right point,
1:25:16
kept in by Dennis,
1:25:17
throws in the slot for Harris,
1:25:18
Harris has it knocked away by
1:25:19
Snip,
1:25:20
penalty on Snip,
1:25:21
Snip,
1:25:22
Snip, Maris Harris,
1:25:23
now even though
1:25:24
Vancouver can't afford a penalty,
1:25:25
that might have been a good one,
1:25:26
Harris had almost
1:25:27
turned the corner on him,
1:25:29
Bobby,
1:25:30
and I got Harris,
1:25:31
he's gonna set up in front
1:25:32
and get a goal,
1:25:33
and Snip dragged him down.
1:25:34
Couldn't agree with you more,
1:25:35
it was not a good penalty,
1:25:36
necessarily under the circumstances,
1:25:38
but it was a good penalty to take,
1:25:40
because Harris is going in
1:25:41
for a good shot,
1:25:42
Snip had to get taken out of the play,
1:25:45
and then let the rest of the team
1:25:46
worry about killing this
1:25:47
two-minute penalty.
1:25:48
Snip gets two minutes for hooking it,
1:25:50
10-40,
1:25:51
and again the oner's bring out
1:25:52
the power play,
1:25:53
the most prolific in the
1:25:54
regular hockey season,
1:25:55
for the Lightning Company line
1:25:56
and the Poppin brothers on the points.
1:25:58
Oner's lead is five to three,
1:26:00
9-20 left to play,
1:26:01
and the third and final period,
1:26:04
Poppin, that only is a big one,
1:26:06
and most powerful power play
1:26:09
in the National Hockey League this year,
1:26:10
but they tied the record set last year
1:26:12
by Montreal of 92 power play goals,
1:26:16
and they came very close,
1:26:18
and that final game against Atlanta
1:26:19
getting 93,
1:26:20
but of course, close doesn't count.
1:26:23
Chottier on the faceoff with Overson,
1:26:25
right faceoff,
1:26:26
so the left side of Ridley off the draw,
1:26:28
Overson wins another draw,
1:26:29
he's something wound around by Van Coubert,
1:26:31
but not out,
1:26:32
kept in the right side of the net by Chottier.
1:26:35
Chottier plays it along the boards,
1:26:37
on the right side,
1:26:38
now taken away by Gould, Gould loses it back to Harris,
1:26:41
Harris in back of the net,
1:26:43
looks to set it up,
1:26:44
now the Oner's have it set up,
1:26:45
on the point, Denny Poppin,
1:26:46
right point and Sean,
1:26:47
in the slot,
1:26:48
Gillies chips wide,
1:26:49
rebound taken by Overson,
1:26:51
and then he will be able to clear it,
1:26:52
and he does, down ice to Gould,
1:26:54
Gould now opens it up and plays back
1:26:56
in his own end,
1:26:57
and sorry, Oner's always had a goal there though,
1:26:59
has a good pass set up.
1:27:01
Gould now plays it back to Grisdale,
1:27:03
circles in his own end,
1:27:05
circles, circles,
1:27:07
now Overson bangs at it and goes all the way down,
1:27:09
a minute 15 left out with Penelope,
1:27:11
just next.
1:27:13
Montaghan comes out now to help kill this penalty,
1:27:15
along with O'Flaherty,
1:27:17
the center ice comes to Sean Poppin,
1:27:19
a lead by Harris,
1:27:20
he comes across,
1:27:21
Gould now is knocked out as he went for the puck
1:27:23
and it sent to center ice by Van Coubert,
1:27:25
Sean Poppin carries it in again,
1:27:27
plays it against the boards and back of the net,
1:27:30
taken by Grisdale,
1:27:31
he looks to clear and he does.
1:27:34
Eight minutes and 10 seconds left in the game
1:27:37
and 48 seconds left in the penalty of snips.
1:27:39
Denny Poppin comes rolling up ice,
1:27:41
he has a lead,
1:27:42
Denny Poppin comes across the line,
1:27:44
fears to the left,
1:27:45
shoots on goal line,
1:27:46
rebounds to end,
1:27:47
and the Strat Westfall,
1:27:48
Westfall, back to Denny Poppin and left point.
1:27:50
Denny,
1:27:51
tries to throw it in front of Westfall,
1:27:52
knocked away,
1:27:53
picked up by Breesie and back,
1:27:54
Breesie and back of the net,
1:27:55
circles him back,
1:27:56
throws out, right point to Sean Poppin,
1:27:58
Denny's in front of the net,
1:27:59
right point to Sean Poppin,
1:28:01
left point to Dennis,
1:28:02
Dennis has set it up
1:28:04
and the pass is defrocked by Chewhan,
1:28:06
he didn't see Sean Poppin back there,
1:28:08
and it's sent down ice by Van Coubert,
1:28:10
with 14 seconds left.
1:28:12
One more rush perhaps,
1:28:14
Denny Poppin,
1:28:15
a lead for Westfall,
1:28:16
comes across,
1:28:17
has it defrocked by Lever,
1:28:19
taken back by Denny Poppin,
1:28:21
Denny Poppin comes in, loses,
1:28:23
and it is sent off the ice
1:28:25
by Johnny Gould as the penalty on snips
1:28:27
comes to an end.
1:28:28
There is a break in the action,
1:28:30
with the score, the added is 5,
1:28:32
and Van Coubert 3.
1:28:34
A lot of good opportunities,
1:28:36
but couldn't quite capitalize on them,
1:28:38
maybe one too many passes on that power play.
1:28:40
Off the jaw, nice and the shot,
1:28:42
hit Ridley, the rebound,
1:28:43
just went wide,
1:28:44
rebound, and across,
1:28:45
Gorma out by Haunt,
1:28:46
rebound is taken and cleared
1:28:48
by Snips,
1:28:49
Snips comes to center ice,
1:28:50
added is that 3 shots on goal,
1:28:52
for no more than 5 feet away,
1:28:54
one at Ridley and the chest,
1:28:56
saved in front of one one,
1:28:58
right across Gorma,
1:28:59
from the top angle by Haunt.
1:29:00
Haunt and Niceburn come up by,
1:29:01
his Haunt pass is too long,
1:29:02
going to go all the way down,
1:29:03
let's see if it's icing,
1:29:04
no, Niceburn reaches it first,
1:29:06
and back to Haunt,
1:29:07
leaves for Niceburn,
1:29:08
left side of the net,
1:29:09
Niceburn comes out,
1:29:10
white checks the puck away,
1:29:12
and it comes to center ice,
1:29:13
ahead for Wolk,
1:29:14
he comes over the line on the left side,
1:29:16
tosses back,
1:29:17
it's taken away by Niceburn.
1:29:18
Here's a 2 on 2,
1:29:19
ahead for Salarot,
1:29:21
3 on 2,
1:29:22
now Salarot on the slot,
1:29:23
ahead for Haunt,
1:29:24
Haunt,
1:29:25
left side is played on the play by
1:29:26
Blight loses control,
1:29:28
Haunt,
1:29:29
dimes together with Grisdale,
1:29:30
the puck is now carried out by Wolk,
1:29:31
here's a 3 on 2 vancouver,
1:29:33
Walton the middle man,
1:29:34
Walton the cross,
1:29:35
White wing Blight,
1:29:36
the shot,
1:29:37
there's Haunt and Hellbiter,
1:29:38
rushing it as an E-hole time,
1:29:40
there's a break in the action,
1:29:42
score,
1:29:43
Islander is 5,
1:29:44
and Vancouver 3,
1:29:45
played right back in again by Bob Murray,
1:29:48
Haunt and Dave Popman on defense,
1:29:50
Chico and Gorma,
1:29:51
the lightning cut lead the line,
1:29:52
Gillies,
1:29:53
check the 8-ounce,
1:29:54
down the left side,
1:29:55
Gillies the cross,
1:29:56
gears to the left board,
1:29:57
plays it through for Chottier,
1:29:59
bang back the other way,
1:30:00
Gillies recovers,
1:30:01
and he plays it in back of the vancouver net,
1:30:03
stopped by a Ridley,
1:30:04
after Chottier and Murray,
1:30:06
they bang together on the boards heavily,
1:30:08
in back of the vancouver net,
1:30:09
now Chottier is held there,
1:30:11
against the boards,
1:30:12
the puck is frozen for a faceoff,
1:30:14
not a hand,
1:30:15
just the size,
1:30:16
Chottier is heading as the board,
1:30:19
I think Lloyd Gilmore blew the whistle,
1:30:21
just to prevent any more from happening,
1:30:23
he really happens to have frozen the puck,
1:30:25
against the boards,
1:30:26
but the elbows were getting the rule,
1:30:54
a lead for Gillies, right side,
1:30:56
Gillies pass,
1:30:57
Southern pass broken up by Settelbar,
1:30:59
and Settelbar rushes to Settelbar,
1:31:01
now the island of line,
1:31:02
comes across,
1:31:03
gears to the right side,
1:31:04
grows to the right boards,
1:31:05
the par boards,
1:31:06
back on the point of Daly,
1:31:07
Daly flips it in on goal,
1:31:08
glove by Chico,
1:31:09
and cleared by Danny Fontman,
1:31:11
a lead for Parisi,
1:31:12
goes right on net,
1:31:13
all the way down ice,
1:31:14
Parisi missed it,
1:31:15
but it went right on net,
1:31:16
no icing there as Ridley was forced to make the save,
1:31:19
just over five minutes remaining in the hockey game,
1:31:22
and the ball was hit at five three,
1:31:24
puck loose and center ice,
1:31:25
Gould, back to the island of net,
1:31:27
now sends a head for Adlerson,
1:31:28
now lead for Lever,
1:31:29
is broken up by Danny Fontman,
1:31:31
Dennis has been great tonight,
1:31:32
head for DeWine,
1:31:33
across, this shot is high,
1:31:34
off the glass and back on the cage,
1:31:36
Ridley in back,
1:31:37
can't get control,
1:31:38
it's dumped across to the par boards by Daly,
1:31:41
and he sends out Lever to center,
1:31:43
loses to Burt Marzl,
1:31:44
Marzl plays off the boards,
1:31:46
and Neutralis,
1:31:47
kept him by Gould,
1:31:48
now Gould plays across to Lever,
1:31:50
Lever comes across the line,
1:31:51
has it knocked off the stick,
1:31:52
and has dumped the center ice to nice turn,
1:31:54
a little too long,
1:31:55
or the islanders would have had a two on one,
1:31:57
Vancouver shoots it all the way down,
1:31:58
the islander in,
1:31:59
stopped by Wress,
1:32:00
picked up by Jerry Hart,
1:32:01
looks up ice,
1:32:02
carams off the boards,
1:32:03
and that goes all the way down,
1:32:04
again it was kicked in center ice,
1:32:06
and icing is waved off by Neil Armstrong,
1:32:09
four fifteen left in the game,
1:32:11
the islanders closing in on a win in the first game,
1:32:14
now to center ice Lewis,
1:32:15
and he dumps it in,
1:32:16
stopped by Snets,
1:32:17
at his own blue line,
1:32:19
Snets starts to come up ice,
1:32:21
Snets plays it into islander,
1:32:22
and taken by Walton,
1:32:23
Walton ridden off the plate by Davy Lewis,
1:32:26
Davy at his own goal line,
1:32:27
goes in back to the net,
1:32:28
under four minutes remaining in the game,
1:32:32
and back to the islander,
1:32:33
and Davy Lewis holds,
1:32:34
waits for his teammates to get themselves together,
1:32:37
and now he sends across to Marzl,
1:32:39
Marzl leads it out,
1:32:40
Marzl to center,
1:32:41
and he just dumps it in,
1:32:43
after it is nice turn,
1:32:44
and Snets,
1:32:45
they bang together,
1:32:46
puck is taken by Santa-Raw,
1:32:47
and he dumps right side when ice to him,
1:32:49
nice turn played by Snets,
1:32:50
and really felt it by Snets,
1:32:51
with the elbow up high,
1:32:52
and the puck is frozen against the near boards,
1:32:54
floor face-off,
1:32:55
and deep bang to Bryce,
1:32:56
break in the action,
1:32:57
score, islanders five,
1:32:58
and two for three.
1:32:59
He's a pop fan,
1:33:00
who a Denny pop fan has played,
1:33:03
an incredible hockey game as per usual,
1:33:05
to the surprise of not too many people,
1:33:07
I'm sure,
1:33:08
coming back out on the ice tonight,
1:33:09
Denny has really done it all defensively,
1:33:11
he's come up with two assists
1:33:12
in this hockey game so far tonight,
1:33:14
made some great passes,
1:33:15
he's really playing a super family cup playoff game.
1:33:18
Off the jaw,
1:33:19
Ireland is trying to control
1:33:20
that Monahan will skate it out of Vancouver,
1:33:22
loses to Harris,
1:33:23
right near his own blue line,
1:33:24
and Baton Cross comes trotting,
1:33:26
he loses to Berbergard,
1:33:27
now baton the other way, Monahan,
1:33:29
and for O'Flaherty,
1:33:30
his slapper broken up by Denny Poppin,
1:33:32
and he really felt it O'Flaherty,
1:33:34
and not him spinning,
1:33:35
puck sails back to Vancouver,
1:33:37
and sent up to O'Flaherty,
1:33:39
a lead for Monahan,
1:33:41
broken up by Killies,
1:33:42
and he just bangs it all the way down,
1:33:43
this will be icing,
1:33:45
and by the time that Pratt makes a touch,
1:33:48
he is back on the ice,
1:33:50
three minutes, one second,
1:33:52
the remaining in the game,
1:33:53
three-oh-one left,
1:33:54
Highlanders have a far three lead,
1:33:56
the face off will be to the left side
1:33:58
of Chico Reds in the Islander goal,
1:33:59
right face off circle,
1:34:00
deep Islander ice,
1:34:02
I don't want to second guess anybody,
1:34:03
but it wouldn't be too surprising
1:34:04
if Maloney, the coach of the Canucks,
1:34:06
doesn't decide to pull his goal
1:34:08
early in the soccer game,
1:34:10
they've got to take any of his goals,
1:34:12
they've got to take any of some kind of chances,
1:34:14
in this kind of a short series,
1:34:15
that's two out of three,
1:34:16
there isn't too much of a tomorrow,
1:34:18
the Islanders have a two goal lead,
1:34:19
three minutes to play,
1:34:20
off the face off,
1:34:21
Killies plays off the boards,
1:34:22
and dumps the center ice,
1:34:24
now the Islanders can afford to
1:34:26
massive the blue line,
1:34:27
and just play it out to center ice,
1:34:28
and not try to skate it out,
1:34:30
but pass it out,
1:34:31
Pratt looks to come across,
1:34:32
he does, and he plays it in,
1:34:34
after it's ready,
1:34:35
Brian is in debt to his own act,
1:34:37
Highlanders only want to do one thing,
1:34:38
and that's get the puck out of their zone,
1:34:40
Lewis turned back by Brevard,
1:34:42
throws across the bar,
1:34:43
plays off the board softly to Westfall,
1:34:46
he comes to center,
1:34:47
Westfall now plays to the Vancouver line,
1:34:50
the Islanders make a change,
1:34:52
and the puck is frozen for a face off,
1:34:54
one thing Bob will see,
1:34:55
we're going to see very quick changes
1:34:57
by Islander coach Al Arbott,
1:34:59
to get very fresh skaters on ice,
1:35:01
the ships will not last very long anymore,
1:35:04
all the Islanders want to do is,
1:35:06
is really play Katie Barbador here,
1:35:08
they're going to do a 50-80 defense,
1:35:11
and hustle like crazy,
1:35:12
they really got to change fast,
1:35:14
keep the pressure on,
1:35:15
and be able to be fresh fruits on the ice,
1:35:16
to hustle the puck down the end.
1:35:18
Juan wins the draw in center,
1:35:19
and Jenny Potman jumps in on goal softly,
1:35:21
Ridley clears,
1:35:22
and back in the Dennis Fern,
1:35:23
lets it go past him,
1:35:24
picked up by Lever,
1:35:25
and he dumps to center,
1:35:26
I stop there by Potman,
1:35:28
he plays it in,
1:35:30
and it will be taken by Dennis Fern,
1:35:33
Fern plays it out,
1:35:34
the others are knocked back by Juan,
1:35:36
Juan comes in,
1:35:37
Juan in front, Juan in shot,
1:35:38
save by Ridley,
1:35:39
rebound Westfall,
1:35:40
can't control as Fern's cleared it,
1:35:42
and the puck is sent to center ice by Vancouver,
1:35:44
almost, Dennis Fern's been a nice play as Westfall,
1:35:47
was on the verge of wrapping that home,
1:35:51
back in the zone,
1:35:52
Burt Marshall,
1:35:53
Burt looks up,
1:35:54
sends out Juan to center ice,
1:35:57
left wing Bresi,
1:35:58
and Bresi plays it all the way down,
1:35:59
only a minute 40 remaining in the game,
1:36:02
Fern's behind his zone,
1:36:03
Islanders have made another change,
1:36:05
they're getting new lines out as quickly as they can,
1:36:07
Sallaroff keeps it into Vancouver end,
1:36:09
throws it cross-ice,
1:36:10
it avoided Nistrom,
1:36:12
and Blythe sends out to center ice,
1:36:14
Blythe, to the red line,
1:36:16
Blythe falls the out of the line,
1:36:18
Biers who is right side,
1:36:19
throws it back to Walton,
1:36:21
jumps in back of the net,
1:36:22
or Blythe has it,
1:36:23
he centers it back to the point,
1:36:24
daily in the shot,
1:36:25
save in front by Sallaroff,
1:36:27
and he skates out,
1:36:28
it's gonna be a Islander penalty,
1:36:31
Islander penalty,
1:36:32
Blythe was not down,
1:36:33
Islanders start to come out three on one,
1:36:35
Sallaroff shaking up on the ice,
1:36:37
getting slowly to his knees,
1:36:39
and the penalty door is open,
1:36:41
and Davey Lewis will go up for the Islanders,
1:36:44
and watch out,
1:36:45
and now's the time,
1:36:46
I have seen people pull their glories,
1:36:48
and go with two extra skaters.
1:36:50
Thank you, pardon, for the remainder of the game,
1:36:53
Lewis getting two minutes for hooking at 1846,
1:36:57
so the Islanders really gotta play
1:36:58
close to the checks now,
1:36:59
we'll keep an eye on the goal,
1:37:01
to see if Ridley is pulled,
1:37:03
in this last minute, 14.
1:37:05
The Islanders are somewhat accustomed
1:37:07
to be facing that sort of thing,
1:37:09
they've had a number of times this year,
1:37:11
when they were on the ice with a two man disadvantage,
1:37:14
not when the goalie was off the ice,
1:37:16
but a two man disadvantage,
1:37:17
and they were able to kill it on innumerable occasions,
1:37:20
you can bet one of the guys will be out there,
1:37:22
he is, Denny Poppan,
1:37:24
and Bert Marshall on the back of the box,
1:37:26
with Lauren Anning and Eddie Westfall out front.
1:37:29
Vancouver gets Dennis Verbergart out on his off wing,
1:37:32
and this enemy of Storrs out,
1:37:34
Adlerson, Verbergart, Gould, Kearns and Daley,
1:37:37
off the draw, Denny Poppan whistles it down ice.
1:37:40
The Islanders are cleared,
1:37:42
the penalty time doesn't matter,
1:37:44
because David Lewis will be out there
1:37:46
for the rest of the game,
1:37:47
the Islanders have a two goal lead,
1:37:49
now it is under a minute left in the game,
1:37:51
Marshall's sent it down ice again,
1:37:53
I would say if Vancouver comes up ice,
1:37:56
and sees it in the Islander,
1:37:57
Gould has it in his own end,
1:37:59
turn back, now Ferns will stay down,
1:38:01
I bet Ridley's going to come up,
1:38:02
and here comes Ridley,
1:38:03
Ridley comes off,
1:38:04
Vancouver plays it in,
1:38:05
and they come in offside.
1:38:07
Adlerson was met by Denny Poppan,
1:38:10
at the blue line,
1:38:12
and he was forced to hold up before coming in,
1:38:15
and Ridley is off the ice,
1:38:17
now it seems he goes back,
1:38:18
no he doesn't.
1:38:20
As you mentioned, Denny held up Verbergart coming in,
1:38:23
or Adlerson rather,
1:38:25
and it was on the right side,
1:38:27
Gould who had gone in over the blue line,
1:38:30
anticipating that the puck would cross the blue line,
1:38:34
and the Islanders got a break out of that.
1:38:36
Face off just outside,
1:38:37
the Islander line,
1:38:38
taken in by Verbergart,
1:38:39
I head down Verrard,
1:38:40
and I hope back by any,
1:38:41
and it's sent to center ice now,
1:38:43
off into the Islander bend,
1:38:45
Denny Poppan,
1:38:46
and Dennis Kerns combined,
1:38:48
looked it off the ice,
1:38:49
the face will be in the exact place,
1:38:51
we had it before,
1:38:52
only 37 seconds of making of the game,
1:38:54
Islanders playing a man down,
1:38:56
but they have a two goal lead,
1:38:58
they are playing two men down now,
1:39:00
because Ridley is off the ice,
1:39:02
Vancouver does not have a net-minder,
1:39:04
Vancouver has six skaters,
1:39:06
the Islanders have four,
1:39:07
Face off at the Islander blue line,
1:39:11
Face off is taken by what,
1:39:14
and he plays it in,
1:39:16
behind the net, Verrard Marshall,
1:39:17
Marshall behind the net,
1:39:18
turns it off the board,
1:39:19
but not out.
1:39:20
Verbergart now looks,
1:39:22
tries to throw in the slot,
1:39:24
taken away by Denny Poppan,
1:39:25
throws it down ice,
1:39:26
it's going to be off net,
1:39:27
going to be off net,
1:39:28
but it won't be icing,
1:39:29
because the Islanders are a man down,
1:39:31
15 seconds remain in the game,
1:39:33
the Islanders are going to win game number one,
1:39:35
of this three game series,
1:39:37
ahead to center now,
1:39:38
comes Lever,
1:39:39
down to left side,
1:39:40
with eight seconds remaining,
1:39:41
Islanders break it out,
1:39:42
ahead for Henning,
1:39:43
he can get another goal,
1:39:44
the shot is, hit the post,
1:39:46
paramed up,
1:39:47
the game ends,
1:39:48
and the Islanders have won.
1:39:59
Lorney Henning broke out,
1:40:01
along with Denny Poppan,
1:40:03
Lorney threw it down ice,
1:40:04
and it hit the post,
1:40:05
and paramed up to the right side,
1:40:07
the time ran out,
1:40:08
and the Islanders have won the first,
1:40:10
Stanley Cup game,
1:40:11
in this best of three,
1:40:13
playoff,
1:40:14
qualifying series,
1:40:15
for the quarterfinals
1:40:16
in the National Rockets,
1:40:17
by winning five to three.
1:40:20
Before we do anything else,
1:40:21
why don't we break the station,
1:40:22
okay, let's pause 15 seconds,
1:40:25
for a station identification,
1:40:26
this is New York Islander Huck.
1:40:33
WMCA New York,
1:40:35
this is Barry Gray,
1:40:36
join me right after the game,
1:40:38
for the best talk in town.
1:40:46
Let me remind you now,
1:40:51
I will remind you,
1:40:52
after we play back all the goals,
1:40:54
but let me remind you right now,
1:40:56
we will carry,
1:40:58
live on WMCA,
1:41:00
game number two,
1:41:02
of this best of three series,
1:41:05
from Vancouver, British Columbia,
1:41:08
we will be on with a centerized program,
1:41:11
beginning at 10.45,
1:41:14
your time, 7.45,
1:41:17
of course, Vancouver, jelly,
1:41:19
10.45, we will carry the game,
1:41:22
and if the islanders win it,
1:41:23
they will win the series,
1:41:24
if they lose it,
1:41:25
the third game will be back here,
1:41:27
at the National Rock Coliseum,
1:41:29
at 2.10,
1:41:30
it will be on the air,
1:41:31
beginning at 1.45.
1:41:33
The islanders are beating Vancouver,
1:41:35
five to three,
1:41:36
we will replay all the goals,
1:41:37
and have all the other information for you,
1:41:39
when we get back,
1:41:40
right after these messages.
1:41:42
The landing room only,
1:41:44
at the Coliseum,
1:41:45
the fans went home with a tummy full of excitement tonight,
1:41:48
and certainly satisfied,
1:41:49
as the islanders have defeated the Vancouver Canuts,
1:41:52
they could not do it during the regular season,
1:41:54
but they did it rather impressively tonight,
1:41:56
here at the Coliseum,
1:41:57
beating Vancouver,
1:41:58
in the first of this best of three series,
1:42:00
five to three.
1:42:06
Now we're going to play back the goals,
1:42:08
the islanders have won at five, three,
1:42:10
now who knows what's going to happen in the series,
1:42:12
who knows what's going to happen in any short series,
1:42:14
any team,
1:42:15
Washington and KC,
1:42:16
they can beat any team too,
1:42:17
in a two out of three series,
1:42:19
but I think the islanders started off,
1:42:21
so terribly, terribly tight,
1:42:23
and Vancouver,
1:42:24
had two goals on two long shots on Chico,
1:42:26
two breaks,
1:42:28
off sloppy play by the islanders,
1:42:30
and still they came back and bumped,
1:42:32
and shot the puck tonight,
1:42:33
they really shot the puck,
1:42:35
and they've got to be,
1:42:37
a great frame of mind anyway,
1:42:39
and they're going to play the next game,
1:42:41
in Vancouver,
1:42:42
third tonight,
1:42:43
I have no idea who's going to win the game,
1:42:45
if I did,
1:42:46
why bother to play the games,
1:42:47
and play the series,
1:42:48
but anyway,
1:42:49
I think it was something,
1:42:50
the way the islanders came back,
1:42:51
and came back by playing really aggressive,
1:42:53
dynamic,
1:42:54
not scared,
1:42:55
you know,
1:42:56
I think that's what Biltory and Al Arbor
1:42:57
meant about the game against the Russians,
1:42:59
and the islanders,
1:43:00
although they played a nice game,
1:43:01
and it was two to one,
1:43:02
but they didn't play the trumping,
1:43:03
banging,
1:43:04
bruising,
1:43:05
shoot the puck,
1:43:06
fly in,
1:43:07
they did that recently,
1:43:09
against Philadelphia,
1:43:10
and it worked out very well,
1:43:11
pulled them in that particular hockey game,
1:43:13
and it's a welcome sign,
1:43:15
for the islanders,
1:43:16
if that's going to be the style of play,
1:43:18
for the rest of the series,
1:43:19
it's going to end Thursday night.
1:43:21
All right, you'll hear the excitement,
1:43:22
and the crowd,
1:43:23
as we will replay the goals now,
1:43:25
and to introduce them,
1:43:26
here is Robert Lawrence.
1:43:28
Robert,
1:43:29
Canucks got the first goal of the hockey game,
1:43:30
at 2.58 of the first period,
1:43:32
it was their leading score,
1:43:34
during the regular season,
1:43:35
Verva Guard,
1:43:37
and his first goal of the playoff series,
1:43:39
on the assist from Kearns and Blight,
1:43:41
and here's how it occurred.
1:43:43
All right, pleasing back to Denny Poppett,
1:43:45
he winds around for Westfall,
1:43:46
and the islanders see clear,
1:43:47
and they do.
1:43:48
Here comes Westfall,
1:43:49
the center,
1:43:50
his pass is deflected,
1:43:51
or heading right ahead of breakaway.
1:43:53
Kearns comes across,
1:43:54
Kearns a drop pass,
1:43:55
Verva Guard,
1:43:56
Goal!
1:43:57
Denny's Verva Guard with a bullet,
1:43:58
from the right side,
1:44:00
off the drop pass,
1:44:01
and Van Koeber leads one-nothing.
1:44:04
That's what happened so very fast,
1:44:06
I don't think many of the fans in the
1:44:08
Dallas team might have even seen that goal.
1:44:10
Verva Guard putting Van Koeber ahead,
1:44:12
one-nothing.
1:44:13
Jerry Hart,
1:44:14
tied it up almost three minutes to the
1:44:16
second, later.
1:44:17
He's off now,
1:44:18
and deep bang Koeber is taken by Denny Poppett,
1:44:20
on the left board,
1:44:21
he lifts the throw across,
1:44:22
he lifts the heart.
1:44:23
Heart has a shot!
1:44:24
Goal!
1:44:25
Heart to goal!
1:44:26
Heart to goal!
1:44:27
Heart to goal!
1:44:28
Heart to goal!
1:44:29
Heart to goal!
1:44:30
Heart to goal!
1:44:31
Jerry Hart, on a pass from Denny Poppett,
1:44:34
a blue line bullet from the left side,
1:44:37
Bradley Neuerson,
1:44:38
we're tied at one-one.
1:44:40
Back on the point now,
1:44:42
at Denny Poppett,
1:44:43
but it's not the way,
1:44:44
and it's at the center-right,
1:44:45
and here comes Gould,
1:44:46
one-on-one,
1:44:47
he places the left,
1:44:48
the shot,
1:44:49
Goal!
1:44:50
Short-handed goal by Johnny Gould,
1:44:52
he faked and shot a bullet pass,
1:44:54
and the Islanders have given up a
1:44:56
short-handed goal.
1:44:57
Denny Poppett trying to keep it in,
1:44:59
and couldn't,
1:45:00
and Gould broke out two-on-one.
1:45:01
Now, Arthur Jarr,
1:45:02
Harris sneaks it in,
1:45:03
the shot,
1:45:04
Goal!
1:45:05
It went in,
1:45:06
up Ridley!
1:45:07
Harris sneaked in on the right side,
1:45:08
and shot it off Ridley.
1:45:09
It hit Ridley behind in the skate,
1:45:10
and went in.
1:45:11
Oh, my goodness,
1:45:12
what a beginning to a Stanley Cup series.
1:45:16
Harris, with no angle at all,
1:45:18
shot it off the backside of Ridley's
1:45:20
skate into the net.
1:45:22
And until it settles,
1:45:24
sudden death overtime.
1:45:25
How it is about 20 seconds to kill
1:45:27
off the penalty of Denny Poppett,
1:45:28
and the shot man, as they begin,
1:45:30
they send in Denny.
1:45:31
Here's the shot,
1:45:32
Goal!
1:45:33
Out of the goal!
1:45:34
Goal!
