00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
The New York Islanders faced the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden for the 1975

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,300
NHL Playoffs. Game 3 of the preliminary rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs took place on

4
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:22,800
April 11, 1975. The Islanders and Rangers finished evenly matched during the regular

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:28,160
season, finishing in second and third place in the Patrick Division. The Rangers had qualified

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,880
for the playoffs for several years but rarely were able to get past the semifinals. 1975

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,600
was the first time the Islanders had entered the playoffs, having just entered into the

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,640
league as a new expansion team in 1972. The best of three series was tied at one game

9
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:49,080
apiece and this is the audio from Game 3 taken from the WMCA New York Radio broadcast featuring

10
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:56,080
announcers Dom Valentino and Jim Garvey.

11
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:26,080
The New York Islanders and the New York Rangers hook up in Game 3 in the first series of the

12
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,440
Stanley Cup. Each team surprisingly enough has won on the other's eyes. The Islanders

13
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:38,080
coming through on Tuesday night, 3-2 and last night at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island

14
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:44,040
it was the New York Rangers overwhelming the New York Islanders by the final count of 8-3.

15
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,600
Last night's games featured a record total of 50 penalties, surpassing the previous high

16
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,560
of 43 penalties set last year in a series featuring the Boston Bruins and the Philadelphia

17
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,400
Flyers. Last night's game has been called everything from a Pier 6 brawl to a tremendous

18
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,240
hockey exciting hockey game. Take your pick, the game's a matter of the record and now

19
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:11,760
it's Game 3 tonight, both teams looking for the win that will catapult them into the next

20
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:17,840
round of the Stanley Cup. Coming up my interview, my guest on Islander Highlights, Bill Torrey,

21
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:24,840
the General Manager of the New York Islanders. Bill will be back when we return in a moment.

22
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:31,840
Now here's a word from the number one beer in New York. New York is full of landmarks,

23
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,840
the Battery, Washington Square, Shea Stadium, and over on Kent Avenue in Brooklyn there's

24
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:56,480
another landmark, the Schaeffer Brewery. Since 1842 there's always been a Schaeffer Brewery

25
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,000
in New York because New York has always liked Schaeffer's way of tasting first beer good

26
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,080
beer after beer, year after year. Schaeffer's a beer born and brewed right here in New York.

27
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:15,080
It's New York's number one beer. The people of Eastern believe they're going to make your

28
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,160
next Eastern flight a great flight. I think when you buy a ticket on Eastern you deserve

29
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:39,160
a clean plane. When you have a good flight that's when we have a good flight. You've

30
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,160
got to believe. We work hard, get out on time, so you get in on time. You've got to believe

31
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:49,160
my crew will feed you with if you have a beautiful flight. You've got to believe. If you're flying

32
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:58,160
to Atlanta, Eastern has 13 daily non-stops and from Atlanta you can connect to major

33
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,360
cities in the south and southeast. Take one of Eastern's money saving night coaches to

34
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,080
Atlanta and save about 20 percent off the regular day coach airfare. Most flights to

35
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,520
Atlanta feature Eastern's comfortable 727 Whisper jets with spacious redesigned interiors.

36
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:19,520
For reservations call the Travel Specialist, your travel agent, or call Eastern the wings

37
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:26,520
of the world. This is Jim Garvey from Madison Square Garden and my guest tonight is the

38
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,760
General Manager of the New York Islanders, Bill Turing. Bill, it's been a long season.

39
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,560
We had you early, we had you in the middle, and here we are down at the end and it's a

40
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,560
pleasure to welcome you again. Well Jim, I'm hoping quite frankly it isn't the end. It's

41
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,840
towards the end, no question about that, but hopefully we'll be around for a while yet.

42
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:52,220
Although we've got a big hurdle to climb tonight. Well you know Bill, when it's a one game winner

43
00:04:52,220 --> 00:04:57,680
take all series, I think that past records and past games sort of go out the window and

44
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,320
put the chips for where they may. The hot club, the hot goldshead that comes out ahead

45
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,880
and I think that most clubs have things going for them and things going against them and

46
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,640
the way I see it, it could go either way. Well, I don't think there's any question that

47
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,440
a one game series, anything can happen at any time and I think that's the way the players

48
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:21,440
have to look at it. I think obviously a team with experience and who's been through this

49
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,840
kind of thing before may have an edge, but by the sense of hoping sometimes young legs

50
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:30,120
can give you an edge too, so it's going to be an interesting evening. Let's look at the

51
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,320
series to date Bill, I think neither one of the games have really gone according to form.

52
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:39,040
The Rangers took a two goal lead into the first game, into the third period and for

53
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,640
all intents and purposes I think the Garden Crowd and maybe some of the Rangers hockey

54
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,640
players felt that the game was bagged and then one, two, three, the Islanders came out

55
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,400
with a win and I think that surprised a lot of people. Well again, I think that's a question

56
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:58,440
that our young legs gave us a little bit of an edge there in the third period and again

57
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:05,560
hopefully even tonight that's something to keep in mind. I think that certainly we did

58
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:11,600
not play as we had hoped we would through the middle part of the game. We played a pretty

59
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,920
good first period the other night here in the Garden and we killed off a little bit

60
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:21,240
in the second period and then we came back pretty strong in the third period. So whether

61
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,520
that's any indication of what will happen tonight, who knows. You know Billy, Rangers

62
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,360
of the club seem to do very well in unsettled situations of man ups, man downs, two men

63
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,200
ups, perhaps a little bit more explosive on the power play than we've been and yet you

64
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,800
really don't want our club to go out and sit back, they've got to go out and hit so you're

65
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:44,880
taking a calculated risk aren't you? I'd have to say when you get the officiating we got

66
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:50,960
last night you certainly take a risk. I would hope under more normal circumstances that

67
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,680
it's not really a risk. We are an aggressive team, a physical team, we like to play the

68
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,920
man and we don't see why that's something that should be penalized. I don't know a lot

69
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,080
of the other things there, it's another matter but I think that there's no question that

70
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,880
there are Rangers when they're allowed to move the puck, pass the puck the way they

71
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,320
are capable of doing it, when you let them do that you're asking for trouble, there's

72
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,120
no two ways about it. Well I rode up in the elevator with Frank Gutvari and we had an animated

73
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,280
discussion about the officiating last night, you know being an official myself and with

74
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,360
Ross and having worked some pretty big ball games, you know you always try to be a little

75
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,280
bit sensitive toward the plight of the official but as I told Frank last night, I think it

76
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,640
was the first time this season that I'd really lost my cool a little bit on the air and was

77
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,640
a little bit loud in my denunciation of Wicks. I felt he took the game away from the club

78
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,960
early in the first period and what he did thereafter really wasn't essential because

79
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,120
once he got out of that first period it was just about game time. But here we go in the

80
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,800
game three tonight and there are questions below, who will be in goal for the Islanders

81
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,200
and who will be in goal for the Rangers? You know walking up with Jill Villamuele last

82
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,240
night after the game, he was in a great deal of pain and I had some doubts that Jill would

83
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,480
be able to go and I guess for yourself really at this point in time, we're now about an

84
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,560
hour and a half before game time and even you are not really sure I guess at this point

85
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,240
who might be in goal. Well I'm going downstairs right after I get to talking with you to sit

86
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,960
down with Al and discuss it. I think we've pretty well made up our minds but it's to

87
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,280
make the final decision we decided we'd just let it go. The goalkeepers, we've talked to

88
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,480
them, they know what the circumstances are and so we'll talk about it downstairs and

89
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,120
come up with the right decision. I don't know what the Rangers are going to do as far as

90
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,200
we're concerned, we don't really care. We've got to go out and play our game and do the

91
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,600
things that we do best, better than they do in order to get ourselves the edge and last

92
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,840
night is one of those things. I think actually in looking at our young team and obviously

93
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:49,160
this is a big unknown factor in the Islanders, there was more pressure on our kids last night

94
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,240
really than there was in the opening game here and then in the way there is tonight.

95
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,640
They were very uptight all day yesterday and there wasn't anything we could really do.

96
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,440
They got a bad game out of their system last night and hopefully we'll start it all clean

97
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,760
tonight when the bell goes. I think the Islanders bill have gotten a great deal of mileage during

98
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,440
this playoff out of the fourth line with Lauren Henning, Joel Podvan and Billy McNoin. Well

99
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,400
I'll probably go with the four lines again tonight as the players have to be tired coming

100
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,080
off that three hour slugfest last night. Well I think there's no question that the line

101
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,800
has played well. It's a line we put together towards the tail end of the season to give

102
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:33,720
ourselves a little bit of a rest because really we've been placed in a situation down through

103
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,040
the last few weeks where all of our games were kind of playoff type games against key

104
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:45,040
teams in high pressure situations and it allowed Al to have a little bit more flexibility when

105
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,000
we're killing off the penalties. It allowed him to have an extra line there just in case

106
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,160
of a foul and they have played very well. Joel Podvan particularly moving up from defense

107
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,360
to right wing stepped in there and done an excellent job and got two goals here in the

108
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:06,360
playoffs and both of them really good goals you might say. Bill, the new additions to

109
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,520
the club, Jude Drone and JP Parisi, we've spoken of them before. They've made great

110
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,760
contributions. I of course in reading today's paper had a laugh when I read how the Ratel

111
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:21,320
Gilbert-Vickers line had outplayed the Drone line because as I remember most of the goals

112
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,640
scored by that line came on the power play with Drone not even in the game. So I think

113
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,240
sometimes the final statistics can be a little bit misleading but Jude Drone has certainly

114
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:34,160
been an addition to the club that you couldn't minimize his value could you? No there's no

115
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:39,320
question about it. They fit very well. It's always the key part when you make a trade

116
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,600
to know when you get a good player on the ice hopefully but you've got to relocate

117
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:50,680
them and resituate them and both he and JP fit in well. They like Long Island and we're

118
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:53,840
very pleased with them and we feel they want to make a contribution to this hockey club

119
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:59,480
for some time. Yes I did. It was brought to my attention today the article in the paper

120
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,720
and well that's one man's opinion and I don't think it's a question that that line

121
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,280
has not played well. I just think it's a question that John Ratel has had an outstanding two

122
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,040
games and he's going to be a tough man to stop tonight but we're going to have to do

123
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:17,120
it that's all. Well he certainly is and Bill as we wind down perhaps maybe one series left

124
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,960
to go maybe two let's hope but I think that at this time it might be the last opportunity

125
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:27,320
for me to speak with you I think speaking for all Islander fans let me commend you of

126
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,080
course you representing Roy Ball and Al Arbor and every hockey player on the club for putting

127
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,360
together what I think is a more than representative hockey club. I think the thrills the enjoyment

128
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,440
that the fans at the Coliseum have had this year are directly attributable to a lot of

129
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,280
the things that you've done. I think it would have been easy for you to sit Pat and take

130
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,360
a young club and bring it along slowly but I think you you really had the fans that interest

131
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,560
the pot when you went out and got a couple of veteran players and I think you've done

132
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:56,000
a masterful job of building a club that's going to be a club that's going to be around

133
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,120
for a long time. Bill thanks for sitting in with us and the best of luck to you. Thanks

134
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,560
Jimmy. Still a long spring. New York Islander Action is next. We'll be back in a moment.

156
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:53,200

157

206
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,720
I ugly

00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:24,960
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

208
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:39,960
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

209
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:52,960
Needless to say, we've got a standing room only crowd, and the two teams have played seven times this season, making eight times this season, including two playoff games.

210
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:59,960
The Rangers have won four, the Islanders three. There was one tie back here on October 30th, one to one.

211
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:03,960
And now it's my pleasure to introduce Jim Garvey. Jim, what do you think?

212
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:13,960
Well, Tom, it's a big game, certainly for both clubs. I left the building last night with Jill Villamur, who was just outstanding in the Ranger net, and Jill was hurting, so we'll have to see how he goes tonight.

213
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:19,960
By the way, in the second period, the Chicago Blackcocks lead the Boston Bruins 3-0 at the Boston Garden.

214
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:26,960
The draw into the Rangers' end. Ron Harris battling for the puck. The battle continues.

215
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:35,960
And the puck is jammed against the board. So we're going to have a faceoff coming up to the right of Gilles Villamur.

216
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:46,960
Nick Beverly, Dom, for the Rangers, has a tender ankle, which he was hit with a shot with earlier in the series, and Ron Harris appears to be teaming up with Brad Park right off the bat tonight.

217
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,960
We'll give you those possibilities we were talking about.

218
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:56,960
The puck is in the corner to the right of Villamur. Villamur out to center right, stopped by Lewis.

219
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:02,960

221
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:17,960

223
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:34,960

224
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:41,960
Brad Park has the puck. Out to his own line to Jean Rattelle. Rattelle for Gilbert ahead of him. Race for the puck.

225
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:48,960
Lewis, Gilbert, Lewis has it. Lewis trying to bring it out. Moves it around the board, and the puck is stolen.

226
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:55,960
It goes in the slot, knocked away by Marshall. Kept in by Gilbert. Lewis goes to his right to Marshall.

227
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:02,960
Marshall coming out, right wing. On the left it goes to Lewis. Lewis lifts it in the corner to the left of Villamur.

228
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:08,960

229
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,960
Kachouk to center right, so the puck is fired in the Islanders end by Fairburn.

Lewis to center right. Sanderson after it. Knocked away by Denny Puckman to Bobby Bourne. Bourne knocked down by Marat.

231
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:31,960
And back comes Kachouk, and Bourne goes after him. Sanderson sends it in the Islanders end. Billy Smith knocks it away.

232
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:40,960
Dennis Puckman off the board to Bourne. Bourne center right. He can fly. Drop pass. Gilly shoots, deflected wide.

233
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:47,960
And the battle for the rebound. On the puck now for the Rangers is Greschner. Greschner trying to come out.

234
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,960
Gilles goes after him, ties him up, gets the puck to center right. Or Kachouk.

235
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:58,960
Collected in one motion by Fairburn down the middle, right wing. Bourne intercepts and gets it out to center right.

236
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:07,960
Gilly to the Rangers line. Knocked away by Marat. Marat on the puck for the Rangers. Fires it in the corner to the left of Billy Smith.

237
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:13,960
Billy Smith stops it, leasing him back. The puck is collected by Jerry Hart. Hart has it up on the right wing. It goes to Billy Harris.

238
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:20,960
He's out, center right. Billy center right, so the left wing knocked away. Back on the left wing. It's outside.

239
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:28,960
And Marat hits Harris and knocks him right under the Ranger bench. And that's going to start something.

240
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,960
There's a break in the action. Nothing, nothing. We'll be back in a moment.

241
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,960
You must have a comment on whether or not you think the Yanks will win the pennant.

242
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,960
Well that's what WMCA is all about. And that's what my program is all about.

243
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:48,960
Hello, I'm John Sterling. And I talk sports every weekday evening from 7 to 10. And all Saturday afternoon as well.

244
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,960

245
00:25:50,960 --> 00:26:03,960
Hey, what do you say? WMCA. WMCA. We're for you.

The quick left handed glove came up with a save. Face off to the right of Billy Smith and the Islanders end.

258
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:26,960
Well the first tester of the night that goes to Billy Smith and the Islanders. Billy standing his ground as Urban walked right in alone.

259
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,960
And Billy pucked that one out of the air. A great left hand grab.

260
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:36,960
And Tom I know Islander fans breathe a sigh of relief because the first goal is oh so important and Urban looked like he was in cold.

261
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:44,960
Incidentally Phil Rizzuto here tonight with us. Former Yankee great who enjoys hockey very much.

274
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,960
And a great save by Villamur. Both co-tenders have done well so far tonight.

275
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:08,960
Islanders changing the fly. To center ice to Bourne. Bourne trying to come across the line. Right wing.

276
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:14,960

279
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:35,960

280
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,960
Kachuk down the middle. Goes to the right wing. And Jerry Hart rides him out of the board.

281
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:45,960
Hart goes after him. Kachuk out front. Couldn't get the shot out. Sanderson shoots. Blocked by Hart.

282
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:52,960
And Dennis Plotkman clears it. It goes up all length of the ice. It no doubt will be icing.

283
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,960
It is. There's a break in the action. Nothing, nothing. We'll be back in a moment.

284
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,960
Have you noticed how many banks now charge 15 cents per check with their special checking at town?

285
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,960
Say buddy, keep it down will ya? It's inflation. I asked you to keep it down.

286
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,960
That's why European American Bank introduces noflation checking. Are you gonna keep it down or not?

287
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:14,960
That's what I'm trying to tell ya. Noflation means the per check charge at European American is still just 10 cents.

288
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,960
There's no minimum balance and the service charge is still just 75 cents per month.

289
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,960
Check's still just 10 cents at European American? Yeah. You did keep it down.

290
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,960
European American Bank. Member FDIC. We've made a commitment to bring you better banking.

291
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:36,960
All set now. A few possibilities now. Boston wins and Los Angeles wins.

292
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,960
The Islanders or the Rangers play Buffalo. Chicago wins and Los Angeles wins.

293
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:46,960
And one of the New York teams plays Montreal. Boston wins and Toronto wins.

294
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:52,960
And a New York team plays Montreal. Chicago wins and Toronto wins. It's a New York team at Pittsburgh.

295
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,960
On the draw. Taken by Kachuk down the middle for Fairburn. Knocks away.

296
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,960
And the puck is taken by Gillies where the good movie comes out.

297
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:06,960
Center right. Clark stops. The shot. Why? Caram and Villamur knocks it into the corner to his right.

298
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,960
Ron Harris has it. Harris coming out of the right wing. Harris bringing it out.

299
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,960
The center right then goes to Kachuk. Back to Harris. Harris shoots.

300
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:21,960
Great save by Billy Smith. Man, what a save Billy Smith has made tonight, Jim.

301
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:27,960
Well, Don, we have not yet really had a great goaltending game here with both goaltenders and Sparkles.

302
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:33,960
And I think this may be the game. Both Gillie Villamur and the Nets for the Rangers and Billy Smith and Nets for the Islanders

303
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:41,960
have really come up big here in the first period. Gloved hand grabs by both goaltenders. Smith in particular has really sparkled.

304
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:48,960
A freewheeling game up in Boston after two Chicago League 5-3.

305
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,960
On the draw. Lewis around the board. Seborn trying to get it out. Bob having trouble.

306
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:59,960
Puck is loose. Back to the right point. Harris can't keep it in. Gillies. Harris.

307
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:07,960
And Harris is able to move Gillies out of the way. The puck is taken by Park. Park fighting with Burt Marshall.

308
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:15,960
Marshall sends it to the Rangers then. Villamur now stops the puck. Harris has it. Ron Harris for the Rangers. Leaves it for Kachuk.

309
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:21,960
He lost it as Howard goes after him. Now Harris has it. The center right. Burt Marshall takes it.

310
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:29,960
On the right wing knocked down by Don LaRonde. Puck is still loose. Taken by Walt Kachuk. Up on the right wing.

311
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:38,960
Good check on Fairburn. And the puck is sent into the Islanders then. Stopped there by Marshall to Don LaRonde.

312
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:47,960
Back tender. And the puck is in the corner of the right of Villamur and we're going to have a face out of that point. It's jammed.

313
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:54,960
Well Gary Howitt and Pete Sinkowski start to do a little pushing and shoving. This game really hasn't resembled last night's game at all.

314
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,960
It's been end to end action. It's been good hockey and the officials are in quickly to separate them.

315
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:05,960
And Andres Salarón showed us a nice move there as he peeked a little bit, put the puck over on the backhand and hit the outside of the bar.

316
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:14,960
But it was a good move by Andres. Gill Villamur played the angle well and with 12.33 to go in the first period, Dom, we still have no score.

317
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:23,960
Ready to go now. The draw to the right of Villamur. And Salarón leaves. It'll be nice room on the draw.

318
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:30,960
Greshner's got it. Greshner with a puck goes cross-ice to his left. To Marat to Sinkowski center-right.

319
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:37,960
On the right wing for Fairburn. The back pass is loose. Taken by Urban. Urban ridden into the board.

320
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:48,960
And a penalty coming up now. Should be on Urban. Let's get the call. Let's see who it's called on because Urban went after Howitz.

321
00:33:48,960 --> 00:34:00,960
And it's going to be on him. And Bruce Hood was standing right there, makes the call. And the official time is 7.46 of the first period.

322
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:09,960
Cat Urban goes out now for two minutes. For roughing. Well after last night, you know, you hold your breath a little bit when that hand goes up.

323
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:17,960
But as Dom called it, Urban was roughing Gary Howitz and Howitz holding his composure really didn't retaliate there.

324
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,960
So Urban gets the two minutes and the Islanders get the first power play opportunity of the hockey game.

325
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:33,960
You have to hold your breath with Gary. Gary hasn't held back very many times this year but Tom with the big money on the line tonight with everything riding on this game, everybody will be on their best behavior.

326
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,960
Well it's going to, I hope it's a real good game. And the best team will end up winning.

327
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:44,960
Sondler on across the line, left wing, the shot, glove by Villamur. Villamur sends it to the corner to the right.

328
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:52,960
Ron Harris after it, digging in there, Sondler on left point, Jenny Potvan shoots, deflection attempt goes wide. Butler has it, trying to get it out.

329
00:34:52,960 --> 00:35:00,960
Dennis again, shooting, dark ride, it's skipped wider than that. And the puck is battled for. Sean Potvan, the nice room.

330
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:10,960
And Villamur moves it in the corner. Howitz got it. Gary trying to center it. He does but Clark is there, lost it in the slot, cleared.

331
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:20,960
Could be a breakaway, Smith out of the net, knocks it away from Butler. No goal tender. The shot, Dennis Potvan gets back and blocks it.

332
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:29,960
Dennis up on the left wing, Sondler on, Andre across the line, left wing, quick shot wide, Caram, nice room on the right wing with it.

333
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:36,960
Back to the right point, Sean Potvan shoots it, goes up over the net. The Islander is now pressing and Ron Harris cleared.

334
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:46,960
And the puck goes into the Islander's end. We're under 50 seconds to go on the pedaling out of urban. 45 seconds, Islander starts back on the power play.

335
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:55,960
John Potvan to Jude Ruins, Jude with the puck, to John Potvan, shoots it in the Rangers end. It's in back of the net. Villamur leaves it right there.

336
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:01,960
Greshner fires it around the boards. Westfall keeps it in. Greshner again has it, sends it around the boards.

337
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:10,960
And it is cleared out to center right, racing for it, Dennis Potvan and Fairburn. Dennis with a great move and comes right back.

338
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:19,960
Great move by Dennis, down the middle, right wing, goes, drawing the shot, up over the net. Trying to keep it in, Parisi, JP does.

339
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:30,960
JP left point, Dennis, thick back, the shot, blocks, the shot, blocks again. Parisi's got it. Parisi on that right wing, again to Dennis, again the shot.

340
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:38,960
It's blocked. Greshner's got it. Both teams are so strength. Three on two, Greshner and a lot of time in the Rangers.

341
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:43,960
There's a break to the action. Nothing, nothing, we'll be back in a moment.

342
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:50,960
Ever wonder what makes Schaeffer the one beer to have when you're having more than one? One reason is more than one fermentation.

343
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:58,960
Most brewers just ferment their beer once, but Schaeffer is fermented twice. Once to make it beer and twice to make it Schaeffer.

344
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:06,960
The one beer with flavor so fine, it keeps shining through, glass after frosty glass. More than one fermentation is one reason.

345
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:15,960
But of course there's more than one reason behind the one beer to have when you're having more than one.

346
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:24,960
The Islanders and the Rangers, nothing, nothing here at Madison Square Garden. And on the Seventh Avenue side, we've got Villamur.

347
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:30,960
And on the Eighth Avenue side is Billy Smith. Islanders moving from left to right. On the puck now,

348
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:37,960
Don LaRont across the line right wing. Andre loses to Rattel. The puck is loose. On it now is Lewis.

349
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:44,960
Lewis right back to Howard. Gary to Nystrom trying to get the shot out of he can't. And Park has the puck for the Rangers.

350
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:52,960
Park coming back. And he's tied up by Nystrom. Good play. Lewis to Don LaRont. He tips it to the Rangers line.

351
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:58,960
And we got an offside pass. We're going to have a faceoff between the left faceoff circle and the Islanders line.

352
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,960
Nothing, nothing. 9.45 to go first period.

353
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:06,960
Well it's evident that Al Arbor and Bill Torrey got together with the New York Islanders and told them they're going to play positional hockey tonight.

354
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,960
No more running around wildly. The Islanders are back to playing their game. And when the Islanders are on their game,

355
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:19,960
it makes for a better night for your goaltender. He's protected more. The Islander defensemen, the forwards are forechecking and back checking.

356
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:26,960
The Islanders are out to play their game tonight. The puck is at center right. Taken right there by Rod Gilbear.

357
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:32,960
Gilbear with it. Gilbear has the puck. Tends it in the Islanders and Lewis after it dies.

358
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:39,960
And back into that, Ritell comes in after him to Druin. Jude with the puck across the mouth of the goal to Marshall.

359
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,960
Burt now wheels around. The Rangers forechecking. Cross-ized Lewis.

360
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,960
Lewis with a good move but Druin is behind him. West ball trying to center the Rangers in.

361
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:56,960
Stolen by Vickers down the middle to Ritell. Knocked away by Lewis. And Druin had the puck, lost it.

362
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:02,960
Druin's pass intercepted Vickers. The shot and it is glove drop smothered by Billy Smith.

363
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:11,960
Face-off coming up on a very, very risky play as an errant pass went right on the stick of Vickers.

364
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,960
Face-off to the right of Billy Smith. Well the Islanders have been clearing the puck by trying to hit a center, breaking down the middle.

365
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:23,960
In that case, Jude Druin took a blind pass and attempted to flip it up the middle and there was nobody there but a Ranger in a white jersey.

366
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:31,960
And almost a giveaway there deep in your own zone. It could have been disastrous but Billy Smith was up to it and smothered the rebound.

367
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,960
Ready now for the draw.

368
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,960
Centering pass is taken by Gillies one-on-one with Greshner.

369
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:45,960
Gillies coming in. The shot knocked down, puck loose and it is cleared away by Kachuk.

370
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:50,960
Kachuk to center right to Fairburn. Here comes, follows along. The shot is fair to the beauty.

371
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,960
Billy Smith with another great save. The Rangers with another breakaway.

372
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:59,960
And Barat from the red line shoots it to the corner. The left of Billy Smith is offside.

373
00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:04,960
And we've got a face-off coming up and again Billy Smith came way up.

374
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:09,960
When Billy's coming way up, standing up, cutting the angle down, he's unbeatable, Jim.

375
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:15,960
Well, the Rangers are making use of the long pass and they're head manning that puck and they're setting up two-on-ones and three-on-twos.

376
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:22,960
The Rangers have been trying to beat Billy with longer shots. Now I look for them to kind of come in, try to deke him and skate around him because Billy is coming out.

377
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:29,960
He's cutting down the angle. He's doing what he has to do. But you can't keep giving them these long passes because pretty soon they're going to hurt you.

378
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:38,960
All set now for the draw. Billy Harris and Walt Kachuk. It goes to the Islanders line. Jerry Hart on it.

379
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:45,960
His pass for Bourne is intercepted by Polis to Gresher down the middle. The shot caught in the midsection by Billy Smith.

380
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:51,960
And again we've got a face-off coming up to the left of Billy Smith and the New York Islanders end.

381
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,960
Nothing, nothing. 8.24 to go. First period.

382
00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:04,960
Tom, when you think about pressure and we know there's pressure on both clubs, you wonder whether it's the young club having the pressure on them or the veteran club, whom everybody expects to do well here tonight.

383
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,960
I'd say there's pressure on both.

384
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:17,960
Fairburn shoots, knocked down in front by Dennis Potman. Dennis has the puck, wheels one way then another, sets up in back of the net, goes to his left to Jerry Hart.

385
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:23,960
Jerry up on the left wing for Gillies, off the mark, taken by Gresher who shoots it back at the Islanders end.

386
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:32,960
Dennis Potman with the puck in back of the net. Hart right back to Dennis. Dennis now starts out. Up on the left wing for Gillies, off the mark.

387
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:38,960
Gresher with the puck, knocked off his stick and Kachuk sends the back pass to Gresher.

388
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:46,960
The center-right on the left wing, Polis, down the middle. The shot, six-day by Dennis Potman.

389
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:54,960
And we've got a penalty coming up for interference. And it'll be on the Islanders.

390
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,960
There's a break in the action. Nothing, nothing. We'll be back in a moment.

391
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:18,960
I can't begin without you because without you I don't have a show. Call me Monday through Saturday beginning at 12.15 at 489-1155.

392
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:30,960
Get a point you MPA. You don't know.

393
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:36,960
12-17, the official time on the interference call to Clark Gillies.

394
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,960
Rangers now with a power play. Billy Smith makes the save off the face-off.

395
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,960
Lewis having trouble with it and he gets it back to Park who tries to get the shot off.

396
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,960
Park keeps it in. He's at the left point.

397
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:54,960
Lauren Hanning after him. Park with a good move now. Out front, Joe Baer shooting wide.

398
00:42:54,960 --> 00:43:02,960
Park at the left point shoots, knocked down, loose. Lewis after it. Battle for, sends it back to the right point.

399
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,960
Joe Baer with it out front. Blocked by Lewis to Westfall.

400
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:11,960
Eddie on the left wing to Lauren Hanning and Joe Baer gets it back.

401
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,960
Joe Baer leads it for Park who sets up for the Rangers.

402
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:21,960
In his own end, on the right wing it goes to Joe Baer right back to Middleton and Lewis holds him up to Ratel.

403
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:33,960
Vickers, wide play by Billy Smith. Vickers was in along and Billy Smith made a beautiful save, broke his stick in half and gets back up.

404
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:40,960
Well Billy Smith made a tremendous play there Don. He felt for the post as the goaltender will do and in feeling for the post he broke his goal stick.

405
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:48,960
With the stick laying on the ice and Vickers in again on the breakaway using nothing but his pads in his hands he managed to hold Vickers off.

406
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,960
So Billy certainly had a first period to remember.

407
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,960
Just great goal sending tonight.

408
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:01,960
Betty has been tested much much more than Gilles Villamur but when he's been tested he's done the job.

409
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,960
And Billy Smith not only stops this one, clears it all the way to the Rangers end.

410
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:10,960
On the puck now is Joe Baer. We've got a minute to go on the penalty.

411
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,960
Joe Baer bringing it out, right wing to Ratel who can fly.

412
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:18,960
On the right wing Middleton. Middleton centering pass. Lewis knocks it away.

413
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,960
Joe Baer keeping it in. Stopped by Henning and he clears.

414
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,960
And we're down to 45 seconds on the penalty.

415
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,960
The Clark Gillies who's out at 12.37 for interference.

416
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,960
Park that is on line to Ratel.

417
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,960
Ratel knocked off his stick. Vickers has it offside of the Rangers.

418
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,960
And we have 34 seconds to go on the penalty to Clark Gillies.

419
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,960
Nothing nothing. 6.17 to go first period.

420
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,960
Well the Islanders are keeping the Rangers from setting up in their own zone.

421
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,960
And when the Rangers set up in your zone they're dangerous.

422
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,960
Steve Vickers of course perhaps the most dangerous marksman parking himself on the left corner.

423
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,960
Ricky Middleton playing over there on the right wing. Also dangerous.

424
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:03,960
Hamil Lacat has put Rod Joe Baer out on the point with Brad Fox. So there's a lot of firepower on this Ranger power play with Ratel at center.

425
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,960
They have one of the best of the National Hockey League. Jerry Hart trying to get it out.

426
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,960
It deflects. It's loose. Ratel's got it.

427
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,960
To Middleton right out front knocked away by Smith.

428
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,960
Eddie Westfall there. Eddie with it now. Left wing for Henning.

429
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,960
It's under his stick. 15 seconds on the penalty.

430
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:24,960
On the puck now Joe Baer in his own end.

431
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,960
Rod Joe Baer coming out. On the left wing it goes to Park.

432
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,960
We're under 8 seconds to go. Park coming down the middle.

433
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,960
Park down the middle. Did Joe Baer. Knocked off his stick.

434
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,960
Dennis Pottman with it. Time up on the penalty. Both teams are at full strength.

435
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,960
And the puck is called for stoppage and play in the corner of the right of Billy Smith.

436
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,960
Let's pause 15 seconds for station notification.

437
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,960
The score is nothing nothing. This is the New York Islanders Hockey.

438
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:57,960
This is WMCA New York. Hi I'm John Sterling.

439
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:03,960
Evening time means sports time on WMCA. I'll be here Monday through Friday from 7 till 10.

440
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:12,960
Ready for the draw to the right of Billy Smith. Back to the left point kept in by Marat.

441
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,960
And back of the net. The puck. And back of Dennis Pottman. He didn't see it.

442
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,960
He's not even trying to get at it. He can't. It's frozen against the board.

443
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,960
And we'll have another face off at the same spot.

444
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:24,960
Five and a half minutes to go. First period. Nothing nothing.

445
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,960
Well, Jill Marat has certainly been one of the ranger hot hitters here in the series.

446
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,960
He put Billy Harris over on the players bench earlier.

447
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,960
And they threw her off in the crowd. But it was a hard clean check by Jill Marat.

448
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,960
Who's built like a fire plug and hits like a truck.

449
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,960
The draw right to Billy Smith. Stopped it. Dennis Pottman around the board.

450
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,960
Rolls it in. The shot from the right wing by Butler is wide around the board.

451
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:53,960
Nystrom's got it. Bob back. Quick shot. Score! No! It hit the post and came out!

452
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:58,960
I don't believe it. It went in and out.

453
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,960
Everybody's wondering what happened. It hit the bar and came right back out.

454
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:09,960
It looked like it was in. Tough break. Urban back. Left wing. The shot wide.

455
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:14,960
Caram around the board. Taken by Nystrom. Trying to get it out. He does. Center right.

456
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,960
Stemkowski goes down. Incredible how that didn't go in.

457
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,960
Marat down the middle he goes. But Butler knocked away.

458
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:28,960
On the puck now is McMillan. McMillan fights with Greshner. Knocks him down.

459
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,960
Jerry Hart's got the puck. Hart to Nystrom right of the red line.

460
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:38,960
Nystrom quick drilling shot knocked down by Villamur. He lays it for Sanderson.

461
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:44,960
Sanderson around the board for Fairburn. Fairburn coming back and Sileron rides him off.

462
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:49,960
Back comes Lewis. Lost the puck as he swung and missed. Taken by Marat.

463
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,960
Marat to Fairburn. The shot. Gillies gets it out to center right.

464
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:58,960
Fairburn has nine lifetime goals against the Islanders. The best for the Rangers.

465
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:03,960
Lewis sends the puck in back of the net. Taken by Burt Marshall to Bourne.

466
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:09,960
Bourne coming out. Bourne center right on the left wing. Gillies shoots. Goal!

467
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:16,960
And it's one to nothing Islanders. The official time 16 minutes of the first period.

468
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,960
And there was no fixing on that one Jim. Well the Islanders had a mixed line out there.

469
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,960
Bobby Nystrom on the right wing never got off. Bobby Bourne the Islanders fastest skater.

470
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,960
Sped to center. Came in over the line. Has the two defensemen.

471
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:33,960
Park and Harris converged on Bourne. Bourne just simply slid it over on the left wing.

472
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:39,960
Clark Gillies banged it home. That coming right on the heels of a shot by Nystrom and hit the post.

473
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,960
Certainly the Islanders had reason there to fret and no they came right back and scored.

474
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:48,960
And the first goal of the game goes to the Islanders with four minutes to play in the period.

475
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:55,960
Ready now for the draw. After the goal. Goes to Burt Marshall. Goes to his left the laws.

476
00:48:55,960 --> 00:49:00,960
Back to Marshall. Marshall at center right. Shoots in the corner to the left of Villamur.

477
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:06,960
It rolls in the corner to the right of Villamur. Both Bourne and Marshall get a fifth of the goal by Gillies.

478
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:11,960
Sanderson center right. Sanderson a shot. A save by Billy Smith. Billy moves it in back.

479
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:17,960
Lewis is there. Start of the right. Goes back to the left. His pass. Off the stick of Gillies to center right.

480
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:24,960
Ron Harris has it. Billy Harris that to him. To the Islanders line. Knocked away by Lewis.

481
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:34,960
Brad Park is on it in his own zone. Goes cross-eyed to Ron Harris. To Kachuk. Knocked away.

482
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:41,960
Back on it is Ron Harris. On the left wing for Sanderson. Back to Kachuk. The drop pass. Fairburn.

483
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:48,960
The park. The shot. Bounces off of Burt Marshall. And Billy Harris has it. And clears it.

484
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:53,960
The full length of the ice. It goes in the corner to the right of Villamur. And it'll be icing.

485
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:59,960
1-0. The Islanders are out front on the second playoff goal of the season for Clark Gillies.

486
00:49:59,960 --> 00:50:03,960
From Bob Bourne. Burt Marshall. 16 minutes the official time of the goal.

487
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:08,960
Well Islanders in both games have scored by splitting the defense. I think the Rangers were very conscious of that.

488
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:14,960
As Bobby Bourne sped to center. Both Harris and Park closed on him. And that left Clark Gillies a lot of room on the wing.

489
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:21,960
Penn Gillies drilled it home. It's the ability to use that good speed that Bobby Bourne has that forces the defenseman to close.

490
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:27,960
And opens up your wing. And I tell you Jim as you and I have talked when he really learns how to harness that speed.

491
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,960
He's going to be something else. Well I think Bobby will have a good summer weightlifting program.

492
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:37,960
Get himself strengthened up and be a real fine prospect next year. He's 6'3". Close around 200.

493
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:43,960
And of course he can be a lot heavier as Jim said. And that's what the Islanders plan to do with him.

494
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:49,960
Ready now for the draw to the right of Billy Smith. Rittal. And Eddie Westphal.

495
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:54,960
A couple of old pros that have been at it for a while.

496
00:50:54,960 --> 00:51:03,960
The draw. Battle for. And cleared out to center ice and keeps rolling into the Rangers end.

497
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:10,960
Reshner there. It's icing once again. And with 2.48 to go here in the first period. The Islanders are out front 1-0.

498
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:16,960
Eddie Westphal did not mean to ice that puck. Trying to use an angle to slide the puck down in the Rangers zone.

499
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:21,960
And he caught a good live board. The board actually catapulted that puck over the line.

500
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:26,960
Rittal has been dynamite on face-offs in the series. Dominey wins another.

501
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:33,960
Pickers with a puck. Right out front. Gilberto. Blocked by Hart. And back comes Drawan.

502
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:40,960
3 on 2. Jude. Down the middle. Jude for Westphal and Karam's off of a rock behind him.

503
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:46,960
Point. Sends it in the corner. Parisi. To Jenny Plotman. The shot wide. The Karam is loose.

504
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:53,960
Eddie Westphal out front. Unable to get the shot off. Was drawing in the slot. He was held up by Greschner.

505
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:58,960
And the puck is at center ice. Rittal across the line. Down the middle. Rittal shooting.

506
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:04,960
Beautiful save by Billy Smith. Who's on his knees going to his right as it was juggling in his glove.

507
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,960
Face-off to the right of Billy Smith at the Islanders end.

508
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:14,960
The Madison Square Garden building, Dom, doesn't like some arenas around the NHL keep a running tabulation on shots taken.

509
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,960
But I can assure everybody out there that Billy Smith has been well tested in the first period.

510
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:23,960
And he stood up to everything the Rangers have thrown at him. They've had breakaways. They've had close-in drives.

511
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,960
And they've had deflections. And Billy's been tough.

512
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,960
On the draw. Don LaRonde moves it to the corner.

513
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:38,960
Bird Marshall to Lewis. Right back to Bird. Bird has the puck now. Cuts in front of his own net. Up to Nystrom.

514
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:44,960
Nystrom gets it out to center ice. Taken by Don LaRonde. Andre right wing. The shot wide.

515
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:51,960
Or he would have had a goal because Villamur lost it. Lewis. Lose it to Villamur. Taken by Ron Harris.

516
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:56,960
And Howard goes out to him. And the puck is brought back out by Urban.

517
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:02,960
He shoots wide. After the puck is Nystrom. Battle for Urban in there.

518
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:07,960
Stamkowski after it. Lewis has it. Lewis with the puck. Sends it around the board to Henning.

519
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:14,960
Lawrence getting it out. Up on the left wing to Howard. Howard on the right wing. Nystrom. Nystrom has the puck.

520
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,960
Across the line. Left wing. Sends it to the corner. Harris went after him. He moves him out of the way.

521
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:24,960
Brad Park trying to get it out. Howard after him. It's in the corner to let the Villamur.

522
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:30,960
The Islanders now picking up some of the pressure. To center right for Urban. Urban after the puck.

523
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:36,960
And it's for Stamkowski. The shot partially blocked. Ricker changes center right.

524
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,960
On a crazy bounce. And.

525
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:45,960
Lauren Henning lost his helmet. Lauren has the puck. Center right. Lauren down the middle. Left wing.

526
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,960
Howard shoots. And it is blocked by Ron Harris up into the crowd.

527
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:54,960
And with 49 seconds to play here in the first period the Islanders lead 1-0.

528
00:53:54,960 --> 00:54:00,960
Making his first appearance for the Rangers during that last shift was Jerry Butler. Jerry played a fine game last night.

529
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:05,960
Did a lot of hitting. Got a big goal and a break away. Jerry was not getting too much ice.

530
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:12,960
But Jerry was teamed with Peter Stamkowski and got on ice for the first time with 49 seconds to go in the first period.

531
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:17,960
The face off to the right of Villamur. The Rangers end.

532
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:22,960
The puck just about moving. Hart coming in to try to keep it in the zone he does.

533
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:28,960
After it now is Born. And Cachute go at it. And Bob in there kicking at it.

534
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:33,960
And we're going to have a face off and it will be outside because Bobby Born tried to freeze it. Which he did.

535
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:39,960
So the call was a good one. Face off outside the Rangers line. Neutral zone center right.

536
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,960
36 seconds to play first period 1-0 Islanders.

537
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:47,960
It's happened to him now two or three times in this series. He's been freezing the puck when he really should be trying to play the puck.

538
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,960
That's where inexperience comes in.

539
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:57,960
On the draw. It goes to Greshner to Marat. Marat brings it out. 30 seconds to go on the period.

540
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:03,960
Hard drive and knocked down by Billy Smith. Leaves it for Jerry Hart. Jerry Hart with the puck.

541
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:10,960
Hart now up on the left wing. Gillies trying to get it out. He does. Race for the puck. Villamur way out of the net.

542
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:17,960
It's a good go for Marat. And he fires it around the board. Billy Harris stops it. To Denny Plotman. Dennis keeps it in.

543
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:25,960
On the puck Harris for Gillies knocked away by Greshner. Up on the right wing. And it's a center right and that's going to do it.

544
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:31,960
And that's the end of the first period. And at the end of the first period the New York Islanders lead one another.

545
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:36,960
Have you heard about the unbelievable new car for 1975? It's the Pacer from AMC.

546
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,960
Hi this is Don Valentino and when I say unbelievable here's what I mean.

547
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:47,960
Imagine a car that's wider than a Chevelle, smaller than a Vega, has more interior room, then cars a lot larger,

548
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:53,960
looks a little like a second cousin to a Porsche and has features that make it the most unusual car on the road today.

549
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,960
Now you're just beginning to find out about the Pacer. And when you go to Manhattan American,

550
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,960
they'll show you how you can get a deal on this great car from AMC.

551
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:07,960
How you can be dollars ahead of the game and get a car that delivers economy without sacrificing performance.

552
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:12,960
Go on in and see the Pacer. Test drive the Pacer and talk to Manhattan American about dollars.

553
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,960
If it's something extra you want on the way of a car, it's the Pacer.

554
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:20,960
For something extra in the way you'll save money and be treated, it's Manhattan American Motors.

555
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:26,960
The people of Eastern believe they're going to make your next Eastern flight a great flight.

556
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:31,960
We're going to do more than just get you there. We're going to take good care of you all the way.

557
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,960
Your trip's important to you, so I make it important to me.

558
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:39,960
When you fly with Eastern, you're going to take it easy because we're going to make it easy.

559
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:40,960
You've got to believe.

560
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:42,960
We're going to make you feel at home.

561
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:43,960
You've got to believe.

562
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:45,960
You've got to believe.

563
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,960
You've got to believe.

564
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:54,960
If you're flying to New Orleans or Houston, Eastern has daily nonstop service to both cities,

565
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,960
including the most daily nonstop to Houston.

566
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,960
Eastern also has the only nonstop money-saving night coach to Houston,

567
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,960
which can save you about 20 percent off the regular day coach airfare.

568
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:11,960
Most flights to Houston and New Orleans feature Eastern's comfortable 727 whisper jet with spacious redesigned interior.

569
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:25,960
For reservations, call the Travel Specialist, your travel agent, or call Eastern the wings of man.

570
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:32,960
At the end of the first period, the New York Islanders are out front one-on-nothing on Clark Gilly's second playoff goal

571
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,960
from Bob Bourne and Burt Marshall at 16 minutes.

572
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:40,960
The Rangers outshot the Islanders 15 to 8 in the first period.

573
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:46,960
Gilly Smith was just simply sensational, and it looks like it's going to take sensational goals,

574
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:48,960
here tonight, at both ends of the ice.

575
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,960
The Islanders are out front one-to-nothing.

576
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,960
Intermission highlights are next on New York Islanders Hockey.

577
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:56,960
We'll be back in a moment.

578
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:18,960
Now here's a word from America's oldest lager beer.

579
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:23,960
Did you know that the Schaefer people are the oldest and most experienced lager brewers in America?

580
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:29,960
It takes experience to brew any fine beer, but it's taken a little bit more experience to brew Schaefer,

581
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:33,960
the one beer fine enough to give you a flavor that never fades.

582
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,960
And if you'd like to experience the result of all that brewing experience,

583
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:43,960
all you've got to do is give a couple of frosty cold Schaefer's a try.

584
00:58:43,960 --> 00:59:03,960
This is Jim Garvey, and my guest during the intermission tonight is Ms. Laura Stan.

585
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:08,960
Laura is renowned for developing a new skating style known as power skating.

586
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,960
We'll speak about power skating, Laura, and hockey.

587
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:13,960
Laura, it's a pleasure to welcome you tonight.

588
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,960
It's a pleasure to be here tonight, Jim.

589
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:17,960
Laura, what is power skating?

590
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:23,960
Well, power skating to me, although the word power skating connotes power and speed.

591
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,960
It is power and speed, but it means a lot of things.

592
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:33,960
It means all those things that make one a better skater on the ice and therefore a better hockey player.

593
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:38,960
It means better balance, for one thing, better agility and maneuverability on the ice,

594
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:47,960
better use of the edges of your skates, better stride, you know, a more efficient stride, better backward skating.

595
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:54,960
In other words, it encompasses a great deal of different aspects of skating to go on to make you a better hockey player.

596
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:59,960
Well, in case those of us in the audience have a feel that we've seen the name Laura Stan somewhere,

597
00:59:59,960 --> 01:00:05,960
we probably have because I've seen in print and I know I've spoken to a fellow on the islanders

598
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:11,960
who has actually worked with you and in doing so I know has improved not only his skating,

599
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:15,960
I don't know if you're a shooting instructor as well, but he's improved his shooting because he led the islanders in scoring.

600
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,960
And you might want to talk about your friend Bobby Neistrom.

601
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:26,960
Well, I saw Bob Neistrom the other night and I was really thrilled to watch him skate because the improvement that I've seen

602
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,960
and the difference that it shows is incredible.

603
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:36,960
Bob, when I first worked with him a couple of years ago, was very insecure, I think, in his own feeling about his skating.

604
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:40,960
He knew that it was his weak point and he wanted so much to improve it.

605
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:44,960
And I feel kind of proud. I think that he really has improved his skating.

606
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:49,960
And I know that in the game of hockey when your skating improves, everything else improves also.

607
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:56,960
So, no, I'm not a shooting instructor or anything, but I think that his better balance and everything else about his skating, etc.

608
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:58,960
has helped his hockey in general.

609
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:05,960
It certainly helped his confidence and I know Bob has been kidded a little bit by me about having a female coach,

610
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:07,960
but I know it doesn't bother him.

611
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:09,960
And I think personally that it's great.

612
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:14,960
I think that any people out there who may have perhaps had the opportunity to get instruction

613
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,960
and perhaps gone into a rink and seen a female instructor there and said,

614
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,960
well, perhaps this isn't for me, that has stood up and taken notice.

615
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:27,960
Because I know professional hockey never lets an opportunity go by when they see a fellow on the ice who needs a little skating

616
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:29,960
and who's a person like yourself.

617
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:34,960
I know in addition to Bob, you've worked with a fellow over in the World Hockey Association who had a great season.

618
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:36,960
That's Gene Peacock.

619
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:38,960
Yes, Gene is doing really well.

620
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:43,960
I worked with the entire New York Golden Blades team when they were in New York before they went to San Diego.

621
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:49,960
So I worked with quite everybody on the team and Gene was completely enthralled with it.

622
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,960
He thought that it helped him so immensely.

623
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:59,960
He really helped me a lot in getting me out to other hockey schools in Canada because he thought it was such a terrific program.

624
01:01:59,960 --> 01:02:01,960
Laura, have you done any writing?

625
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:07,960
I know this is a topic that I think a lot of people, including myself as another skater, really are interested in.

626
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:11,960
You had spoken to me briefly and I thought perhaps you were going to do a book on it.

627
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:15,960
Yes, I'm in the process now of writing a book on how to skate the hockey way,

628
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,960
which I'm hoping to get published sometime this fall.

629
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:24,960
I have written articles for different magazines on the topic of power skating,

630
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:30,960
on proper stride and better balance, better back with skating and that kind of thing.

631
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:37,960
How important is the skate, the actual purchase of the skate, to the young person learning and developing his skating?

632
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,960
You can't stress enough how important a good skate is.

633
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:47,960
Not only the make of the skate, in that it's a solid construction, but in the fit of the skate.

634
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:54,960
So many parents, in an attempt to economize and hope that their kids will grow into a skate in a year or two,

635
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,960
will go out and buy something that's too big for the kid.

636
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:03,960
This is the worst thing that somebody can do because then the ankles cave in and the feet hurt.

637
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:10,960
All the problems with ankles really stem from the fact that the skate is either poor quality or poor fit.

638
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:15,960
Laura, is there an age that's really the proper age for one to begin skating?

639
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,960
And a person almost as soon as they walk, begin to skate.

640
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:23,960
Well, I think a youngster, even as you say, beginning to walk can get on skate.

641
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,960
Not that they're going to really learn how to skate at that age,

642
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,960
but they can become familiar with the ice and learn to feel comfortable on the ice.

643
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:35,960
But when a fellow or a girl too, when they're of the age of five and six,

644
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:42,960
that's the time when their legs are beginning to develop to a point where they're getting strong enough to start to learn how to push on the ice.

645
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:47,960
And if you start young in anything, you have a jump over everybody else.

646
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:51,960
There's no question there. I'd like to strongly urge the parents out there,

647
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:56,960
who may perhaps be thinking of something for the youngsters to do this summer that might be worthwhile,

648
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:01,960
strongly consider that they look in their local newspapers and magazines,

649
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:06,960
and when they see opportunities to engage Laura Stam and her power skating force,

650
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:08,960
certainly avail themselves to it.

651
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:13,960
I know that professional training, be it in golf, tennis, or ice skating, is certainly essential.

652
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,960
I know that many young people pride themselves in having taught themselves.

653
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,960
But having myself done it the hard way in golf, gotten a little instruction,

654
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:27,960
I can attest to the fact that a little instruction and hard practice will really do a lot more good

655
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:31,960
than just many, many hours of repeating the same errors over and over.

656
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:32,960
Laura, do you agree?

657
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:36,960
Oh, I definitely agree, because unless you're shown how to do it the right way,

658
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:42,960
you don't know what your errors are, and so you're building in habits that may take years to break,

659
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:44,960
and those may be the wrong habits.

660
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:49,960
If you're lucky, like Bobby Orr, who of course is self-taught, I'm sure,

661
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:54,960
then he just came out lucky. He came out knowing how to do it right.

662
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,960
But most of us don't do it that way. We learn and we get our errors.

663
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,960
So it's really important to be taught the right way.

664
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,960
Well, out here in this hockey game tonight with the Rangers and the Islanders,

665
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:08,960
there may be one in a million Bobby Orrs, but most of the guys out there have developed their skating styles

666
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:13,960
through long, arduous practice sessions, and again, we want to thank you, Laura, for being with us

667
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:18,960
and urge everyone to sharpen up your skating this summer, engage in power skating.

668
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:22,960
New York Islander Action is next. We'll be back in a moment.

669
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:27,960
During the week of February 17th, something happened in the gasoline business

670
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,960
that everyone who drives a car should know about.

671
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:34,960
A survey was taken of the prices of premium gasoline.

672
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:41,960
The survey covered hundreds of service stations in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and other metropolitan areas.

673
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,960
Almost all the major oil companies were included.

674
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:50,960
If you buy gasoline by price in your neighborhood, you can probably guess the results.

675
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:59,960
On an average, Getty premiums sold from two to two and a half cents less per gallon than most other major premiums.

676
01:05:59,960 --> 01:06:04,960
So if you want more gas for your money and more miles for your money, pull into Getty.

677
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:10,960
Remember, don't waste gasoline. But when you do drive, fill up with Getty.

678
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:16,960
No lead for cars built after 1971, premium for cars built before 1971.

679
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:22,960
Getty. We've got what's best for your car and for you.

680
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:31,960
Mail call. Oh, there's lots of mail today, honey. Your magazine, my magazine, your bank statement, my bank pack statement.

681
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:34,960
Still only paying $2.50 a month at European American?

682
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:35,960
No.

683
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:36,960
I knew it.

684
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:38,960
Now I pay only $1.50.

685
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:40,960
That's less. Then you must be getting less.

686
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:45,960
No. I still get unlimited checking, free personalized checks, a free safe deposit box, and lots more.

687
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,960
Why, I even qualified for preferred loan rates.

688
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,960
All that for just $1.50? That's less than I pay for checks alone.

689
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:56,960
It's new. I just keep our thousand dollars in a European American savings account.

690
01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,960
Our savings earn the highest interest the law allows.

691
01:06:59,960 --> 01:07:01,960
And you get bank pack for just $1.50 a month?

692
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:05,960
Uh-huh. And if we kept as little as $500 in a European American savings account,

693
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:10,960
I'd pay just $2 a month for bank pack and still get interest on our savings.

694
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:14,960
Bank pack for less than $2.50 a month. Hey, maybe I should switch.

695
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:18,960
Okay. You cook tonight.

696
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:22,960
European American, we've made a commitment to bring you better banking.

697
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:23,960
Member FD...

698
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,960
...no score.

699
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:31,960
Our guest during the first intermission, Laura Stam,

700
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:35,960
receives a gift certificate for dinner for two at Billy Paul Salty Dog Restaurant.

701
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,960
1166 Hempstead Turnpike across from the Coliseum.

702
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,960
The Salty Dog specializes in steaks and seafood,

703
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:46,960
and dining in their delightful upstairs aquarium dining room makes eating a unique pleasure.

704
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,960
Well, it's an entirely different hockey game tonight.

705
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,960
From the one we saw last night, the brawling, the fighting has not been repeated.

706
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,960
In fact, in the first period, we had only two penalties called.

707
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:03,960
Bruce Hood fingering Ted Urban for roughing at 746 and Clark Gillies for an appearance at 1217.

708
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:08,960
Both the Islanders and the Rangers successfully killed off those penalties,

709
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:13,960
and I guess the story in the first period will have to be Billy Smith and the New York Islanders in goal.

710
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:18,960
Shots on goal in the first period for the New York Rangers, 15, and for the Islanders, 8.

711
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:23,960
And many of those 15 shots that were taken on Billy Smith were close in drives,

712
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,960
and in fact three or four came on breakaways, and Billy was up to all of them.

713
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:32,960
Another key ingredient in tonight's 1-0 score here after one period

714
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:36,960
has been the ability of the Islanders to control face-offs, especially in their own end.

715
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:41,960
In the first two games of the series, the New York Rangers completely dominated this statistic,

716
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:46,960
which often doesn't reach the fan, but people in the know in hockey games are always looking at face-offs,

717
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:50,960
because when you control the puck, you're controlling the game.

718
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,960
In the first period, there were 20 face-offs taken.

719
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,960
The Rangers controlled 9 and the Islanders 11.

720
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:01,960
If the Islanders can hold their own on face-offs, they stand a good chance in this hockey game.

721
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:07,960
In another semifinal series, the big upset up in Boston taking place,

722
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:13,960
with only three minutes to go in the third period, it's the Chicago Blackhawks 6 and the Boston Bruins 3.

723
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:18,960
Now this upset, it should have come to pass, has some implications for Islander fans.

724
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:23,960
If the Islanders were to hang on and win this hockey game tonight, and Toronto were to defeat LA,

725
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:28,960
that would pitch the New York Islanders with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the next series.

726
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:32,960
Of course, we have a lot of presumptions here, and we really don't want to get into it.

727
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:37,960
But in a moment, we'd like to remind everybody that Bill Curry, our pregame guest,

728
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:42,960
receives benefit too with the Ginger Man, located right across from the Lincoln Center in New York.

729
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:48,960
It's 51st, 51 West 54th Street, right in the heart of the entertainment district.

730
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:52,960
So the Ginger Man for Bill Curry and the Salty Dog for Laura Stam,

731
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:54,960
and now the Rangers have come on ice.

732
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:59,960
The Islanders have not yet made their appearance, and the score again, for those who might have tuned in late,

733
01:09:59,960 --> 01:10:04,960
after one period of play, it's the New York Islanders one and the New York Rangers no score.

734
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:10,960
The Islander goal came at the 16 minute mark of the first period, and it was scored by Clark Gillies,

735
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:14,960
his second goal of the playoffs, both scored here in Madison Square Garden.

736
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:19,960
Bird Monster picked up an assist along with Bobby Bourne, Bobby the guy who made the play,

737
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:24,960
picking up the puck at center, coming in over the line, throwing Brad Park and Ron Harris to him,

738
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:28,960
sliding the puck to Gillies on his left, and Gillies beating Gilles Villamur.

739
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,960
Just before the goal by Gillies, the Islanders had another good opportunity when Bobby Neistrom,

740
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:38,960
steaming down the right board, let go and drive, which either caught Villamur a little bit by surprise,

741
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:42,960
or Villamur perhaps was screened, because Gilles made no move at the puck,

742
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,960
the puck got by him and hit the crossbar and bounced out.

743
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:49,960
Actually it was on the insane rush that the Islanders picked up their goal.

744
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,960
Although the Islanders, of leading in the hockey game, won nothing,

745
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,960
the Rangers, as we said, had great chances on the net.

746
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:58,960
Billy Smith had to come up big on numerous occasions.

747
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,960
The Islanders are going to have to just tighten up, protect against the long pass,

748
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,960
and continue to check and play their position.

749
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:06,960
Down both teams are on ice.

750
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:10,960
Jean Rattel, who has to be considered, I guess, the star of the playoffs so far,

751
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:16,960
skates to center ice, along with Jude Drewin, and as Bruce Hood steps into the faceoff, back to you.

752
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:22,960
Thank you very much Jim, and Jean Rattel was great last night, as was Steve Vickers.

753
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,960
We're ready to go, second period.

754
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:30,960
The draw taken by Gilbert, the back pass to park cross-ice Harris.

755
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,960
Ron Harris moves it out to Rattel, intercepted by Drewin.

756
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:39,960
Jude has it up ahead to Westfall, any left wing, Parisi, drop pass, Louis shoots,

757
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:44,960
deflection attempt wide, backhander, up over the net by Parisi.

758
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:48,960
And Bruce Hood ends up on the seat of his pants.

759
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:54,960
Ron Harris is down on the corner to the left of Villamur, and now Villamur gets up.

760
01:11:54,960 --> 01:12:00,960
Well Dom, that looks like a Keystone comedy act, with Bruce Hood sailing over Ron Harris,

761
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:05,960
and Jill Villamur getting up slowly, but I'm very concerned for the health of Jill Villamur.

762
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,960
I walked up with him, as we said last night, out of Madison Square Garden,

763
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:13,960
Jill and his wife, and Jill was having great difficulty just negotiating the stairs and the coliseum.

764
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:15,960
I know Bruce Hood has been over to talk to him.

765
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,960
I know he's playing in pain, and he's a good little guy, and he's playing a great hockey game.

766
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:21,960
He's a tremendous goaltender.

767
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:23,960
He showed it last night when it counted.

768
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:30,960
Jill Bear with a puck, center right, on the right wing, and Rattel pushed away, taken by Louis.

769
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:34,960
Louis coming back, and Rattel steals the puck.

770
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:39,960
Drewin drives him on the board, and Louis has got it back to Parisi.

771
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:44,960
Parisi center right, JP across the line, left wing, Westfall to Drewin.

772
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:49,960
Jude collects right wing, the shot, blocked, taken by Park.

773
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:53,960
The Vickers on the left wing behind Jill Bear, it's offside,

774
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:58,960
face off in the neutral zone at center right, outside the Islanders line.

775
01:12:58,960 --> 01:12:59,960
One nothing Islanders.

776
01:12:59,960 --> 01:13:02,960
Well, the first minute of the second period showed a little more freewheeling action,

777
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,960
with both sides opening up just a little bit.

778
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:10,960
Amiel LeCat has told his Rangers in the locker room that unless you win today, there's no tomorrow,

779
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:12,960
and the Rangers coming out putting on pressure.

780
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:17,960
Walt Kachuk is now out to replace Rattel, and his combination is on for the Rangers.

781
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:21,960
On the draw, taken by Jerry Hart, cross-eyed as it goes to Denny Pot, Van De Borne,

782
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:23,960
knocks away Dennis back on it.

783
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:27,960
Dennis gets it up to Harris, Billy Harris knocked down.

784
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:28,960
The puck is loose.

785
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:34,960
Sanderson trying to move it across the line, he does, and it is taken by Borne, Borne flying,

786
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,960
across the line, left wing, Gillies shot wide.

787
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:41,960
The puck was deflected just enough so that Gillies couldn't get the shot off.

788
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:43,960
And the Rangers start back.

789
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:47,960
Harris, cross-eyed for Sanderson, who gets it out to center-right.

790
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:51,960
Hart after the puck, knocks it away from Fairburn, collected by Billy Harris.

791
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:53,960
Billy moves it in across the line.

792
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:58,960
He and Sanderson after the puck, and they bang Hart on the board,

793
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:04,960
and the puck is taken for the Rangers by Greshner, knocked off his stick by Gillies.

794
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:08,960
Harris after it, Billy Harris knocked down.

795
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:10,960
We have a broken stick out of the ice.

796
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:13,960
Down goes Greshner, Sandler-Rahn on top of him.

797
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:16,960
Back come the Rangers, Kachuk with it.

798
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:21,960
Walt Kachuk at center-right on the left wing, and a good check by Hart on Kachuk.

799
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:27,960
And the puck is taken by Dennis Pot, Van De Borne, Andres, centering pass, deflected wide.

800
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:29,960
Gillies after it.

801
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,960
It's hit around the board, Fairburn trying to get it out, kept in by Jerry Hart.

802
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,960
Greshner moves it to Fairburn, and again Jerry Hart moves him away.

803
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,960
And the puck is at center-right, taken by Kachuk.

804
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:41,960
Kachuk down the middle.

805
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:47,960
Kachuk with a puck in the right wing, drop pass Anderson, the shot, pick up save by Billy Smith.

806
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:50,960
Face-off coming to the left of Billy and the Islanders end.

807
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:51,960
There's a break in the action.

808
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:52,960
One nothing, Islanders.

809
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:53,960
We'll be back in a moment.

810
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:57,960
If you're flying to Miami-Fort Lauderdale, you've got to believe Eastern can save you money.

811
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:01,960
Eastern has six night coach flights to Miami-Fort Lauderdale,

812
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:06,960
more than any other airline that saves you about 20 percent off the regular day coach airfare.

813
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:11,960
And you can fly to Miami-Fort Lauderdale on Eastern 727 Whisper jets

814
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:16,960
with spacious redesigned interiors or on the wide-body L-1011 Whisper liners.

815
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:23,960
For reservation, call the travel specialist, your travel agent, or call Eastern the wings of man.

816
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:30,960
The draw, kept in by Butler, it's in back of the Islanders' net.

817
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,960
Lewis around the board, it's a nice one trying to get it out.

818
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:35,960
And it is called for a face-off.

819
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,960
Let's pause 15 seconds for station identification.

820
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:39,960
Islanders lead one nothing.

821
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:41,960
This is New York Islanders hot.

822
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:50,960
Hi, I'm Ken Fairchild, inviting you to join me mornings on WMCA, 6 to 10 a.m., Monday through Saturday.

823
01:15:50,960 --> 01:16:02,960
A battle for that box, centering pass taken by Don LaRant, two on one.

824
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:08,960
Harris in the middle, Andre Schuch, and it hits a post and comes out to center-right.

825
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:15,960
Butler with it, moves it across the line, right wing, down the middle, knocked away by Nystrom.

826
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:17,960
Nystrom comes roaring back for the Islanders.

827
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,960
He's at center-right, shoots it in the corner left of Villamur.

828
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:28,960
Villamur moves it away from Howitt, hits up on the left wing, collected for the Rangers by Butler down the middle.

829
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:32,960
Drop pass, Butler shooting, Gloucester Smith, knocked away.

830
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:33,960
Bruins got it.

831
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:39,960
Jude coming back, right wing, Nystrom across the line, drop pass, Bruins to Nystrom.

832
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:41,960
Nystrom out front, knocked away.

833
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:43,960
Huckers loosened back of the net.

834
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:44,960
Howitt after it.

835
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:45,960
Ron Harris has it.

836
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:50,960
And a power cut off on Howitt as he dragged Ron Harris down.

837
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:52,960
So Gary will go off now for two minutes.

838
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:58,960
The official time on the penalty is 3.36 of the second period.

839
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:04,960
The Islanders are leading 1-0, but now they're going to have to play short-handed.

840
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:09,960
It'll be holding on Gary Howitt, face off outside the Rangers line of the neutral is on the center-right.

841
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:14,960
Well, there's no question about the foul, Don, but you ought to dwell just for a moment on the play which preceded it.

842
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:19,960
Nystrom would have passed out to Tom Leran, who came down two-on-one with Gary Howitt.

843
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:25,960
Andre using Howitt as a decoy, let one go, beat Villamil cleanly, and again hit the goal post.

844
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:28,960
The Islanders now have two solid goal posts.

845
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:31,960
The Hockies are game or in key.

846
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:33,960
All right, we're ready now for the draw.

847
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:36,960
The Islanders short-handed once again now for two minutes.

848
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:38,960
They lead in the hockey game one another.

849
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:41,960
Eddie Westphal and Lauren Henning are the penalty killers.

850
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:47,960
Dennis Potman, Jerry Hart, the power play for the Rangers, one of the best in the National Hockey League.

851
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,960
Brad Park at one point with Rod Gilbert.

852
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:54,960
Billy Fairburn, who has nine lifetime goals against the Islanders with Rattell and Vickers.

853
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,960
Fairburn with a puck across the line, right wing to Rattell.

854
01:17:57,960 --> 01:17:59,960
Rattell knocks off his stick.

855
01:17:59,960 --> 01:18:00,960
Westphal's got it.

856
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:01,960
Eddie trying to clear it.

857
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:03,960
Banks it out to center-right.

858
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:06,960
Fairburn on the puck, the back pass to Gilbert.

859
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:08,960
Sixteen minutes to go, second period.

860
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:10,960
The Islanders lead one-nothing to Park.

861
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,960
Up in the left wing to Vickers, right back to Rattell.

862
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:15,960
Rattell down the middle.

863
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,960
Right wing Fairburn, the shot blocked by Jerry Hart.

864
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:21,960
And Fairburn is back on the puck.

865
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:24,960
The park, the shot, deflected wide.

866
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:26,960
Vickers has the puck.

867
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:27,960
Back to the left point.

868
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:30,960
Park in the corner, it goes to Vickers.

869
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:32,960
Out front, knocked away from Gil Band.

870
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:34,960
And the beauty.

871
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:36,960
And the puck is taken by Westphal.

872
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,960
Eddie out, left wing, center-right.

873
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,960
Westphal wheels, back pass to Jerry Hart.

874
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:45,960
And he's got a minute to go on the penalty.

875
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:47,960
To Dennis Plotband, to Westphal.

876
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:49,960
Eddie gets into the Rangers line.

877
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:51,960
Fifty-five seconds on the penalty.

878
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:53,960
Back come the Rangers and Gilbert.

879
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:55,960
To Rattell down the middle.

880
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:57,960
Drop pass to Park.

881
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:01,960
Right wing Gilbert slides it on the right wing to Fairburn.

882
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:02,960
Back to Gilbert.

883
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:04,960
The puck in the slot.

884
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,960
Rattell, back hander, saved by Billy Smith.

885
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:10,960
Thirty-five seconds on the penalty.

886
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:12,960
The ball trying to clear.

887
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:14,960
It's kept in by Gil Band.

888
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:16,960
To Park, to Vickers.

889
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:20,960
Shot, barely saved by Billy Smith.

890
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:21,960
Uh-oh, here we go.

891
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:23,960
Here we go.

892
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:28,960
And we're going to have a minor draw, but the officials come right in.

893
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:30,960
A lot of bumping and shoving in there.

894
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:33,960
Twenty-eight seconds to go on the penalty.

895
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:35,960
What a save by Billy Smith.

896
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:37,960
Well, Billy Smith has just been fantastic.

897
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:39,960
You can tell Billy's concentrating on hockey

898
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:40,960
and he's up.

899
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:42,960
Here goes Gil Band and Jerry Hart now.

900
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:43,960
Starting to push and shove.

901
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:47,960
And now John Rattell, which you never see, starts to throw something in there.

902
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:50,960
And Jerry Hart is being held off by Neil Armstrong.

903
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:53,960
I don't think we're going to have much more than a lot of pushing and shoving here down,

904
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:57,960
but Billy Smith, you can tell, has come to play because he's just sitting right in that crease

905
01:19:57,960 --> 01:19:59,960
thinking about nothing but hockey.

906
01:19:59,960 --> 01:20:02,960
And when Billy's doing that, you know he's sharp.

907
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:07,960
Let's see what Hood's going to call here as he skates slowly to the box.

908
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:09,960
Twenty-eight seconds to go on the penalty.

909
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:11,960
That's the key factor here.

910
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:13,960
To Gary Howlett.

911
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:16,960
Billy Fairburn goes out.

912
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,960
And also Dennis Potbann will go also.

913
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:22,960
So the two of them who got embroiled will go out.

914
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:28,960
The official time now is five minutes and eight seconds of the period.

915
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,960
And we'll get the calls now.

916
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:35,960
The situation will be, the situation will be, the situation will be,

917
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:38,960
Fairburn goes out.

918
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:41,960
And also Dennis Potbann will go also.

919
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:44,960
So the two of them who got embroiled will go out.

920
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:50,960
The official time now is five minutes and eight seconds of the period.

921
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:53,960
And we'll get the calls now.

922
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:59,960
The situation will be four on three for twenty-eight seconds.

923
01:20:59,960 --> 01:21:02,960
Hold on, this is no way an advantage.

924
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:07,960
Fairburn and Howlett again charging to both.

925
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:11,960
So Fairburn and Dennis Potbann go out.

926
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:13,960
What I was going to say, Dom, is that this is not an advantage

927
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:16,960
because now the Islanders will be playing three against four,

928
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:20,960
which is probably a more difficult situation than five against four.

929
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:22,960
Four against three is a lot more difficult.

930
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:25,960
In addition, the Islanders' best defenseman is sitting in the penalty box.

931
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:29,960
The Islanders had a lot of practice with it last night, Jim.

932
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:33,960
He's on to the left of Billy Smith, Lewis after the puck trying to clear it.

933
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:34,960
He can't.

934
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:36,960
Park keeps it in.

935
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:37,960
Park to Joe Baer.

936
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:39,960
Joe Baer with the puck.

937
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:43,960
Moses along the board to retell to Joe Baer the shot blocked.

938
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:45,960
West ball cleared.

939
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:47,960
And it goes to full length of the ice.

940
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:48,960
Villaveu out of the net.

941
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:51,960
Islanders trying to kill off the penalty.

942
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:53,960
We've got five seconds on the penalty.

943
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:54,960
Park, Joe Baer.

944
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:56,960
Joe Baer right wing.

945
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:58,960
Joe Baer with the puck along the board.

946
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:00,960
The centering pass knocked away by Smith.

947
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:01,960
It's in the corner.

948
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:03,960
Time up on the penalty to Howard.

949
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,960
Both teams at full strength and the puck is cleared.

950
01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:10,960
Racing for it now is Park.

951
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:12,960
And it'll be icing.

952
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:13,960
There's a break in the action.

953
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:15,960
One-nothing Islanders will be back in a moment.

954
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:19,960
Just in case you've wondered why, Schaefer is the more-than-one-beer beer.

955
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:21,960
Just plain more experience is part of it.

956
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:23,960
It takes experience to make any beer,

957
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:27,960
but it's taken two centuries of brewing experience to make Schaefer.

958
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:31,960
You see, more experience helps give Schaefer that special something more.

959
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:36,960
That smooth, mellow flavor that keeps coming on beer after frosty beer.

960
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:38,960
More experience is one reason.

961
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:42,960
But of course there's more than one reason behind the one beer to have

962
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:46,960
when you're having more than one.

963
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:48,960
All right, we're now four on four, equal strength.

964
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:52,960
And of course the men of the man is eliminated on either side or both.

965
01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:53,960
It opens up the game.

966
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:56,960
And then you get down to skating with each other.

967
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,960
14.08 to go in the second period.

968
01:22:59,960 --> 01:23:02,960
On the draw, the puck loose, Polar Shoots blocked by Lewis.

969
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:04,960
Up on the right wing it goes to Harris.

970
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,960
Billy Harris with it, cross-eyed to the left of Burt Marshall.

971
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:09,960
Back to Harris. Billy out, center right.

972
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:13,960
Harris has the puck knocked off his stick by Maroc to Sanderson.

973
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:16,960
He loses. Greshner has it at center right.

974
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:18,960
Greshner across the line, down the middle.

975
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:20,960
Greshner with the puck goes to the left point.

976
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:22,960
His pass blocked by Marshall.

977
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:25,960
Greshner back on it. Marshall moves it out to center right.

978
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,960
Penalty coming up on Greshner.

979
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:30,960
The Islanders pull their goalie. Harris coming in.

980
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:35,960
The shot blocked. Billy back on it. Billy knocked down.

981
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:40,960
And we've got a penalty coming up for tripping is the call.

982
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:46,960
The official time will be 6.30 of the second period.

983
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:48,960
Ron Greshner for tripping.

984
01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:51,960
The Islanders now will have a man advantage.

985
01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:57,960
We have 38 seconds to go on the penalties to Billy Fairburn and Dennis Potvin.

986
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:01,960
And Ron Greshner now goes out at 6.30 for tripping.

987
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:03,960
Well Don, we have the situation here reversed.

988
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:07,960
Just a short while ago it was the Rangers playing four on three with the Islanders.

989
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:11,960
Now with 38 seconds to go on the penalties to Fairburn and Potvin,

990
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:13,960
it'll be the Islanders playing four on three.

991
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,960
Four on threes and five on fours, five on threes.

992
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:18,960
As you said, open up the ice.

993
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,960
It certainly makes for a more exciting hockey if you're a hockey fan,

994
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:26,960
but doesn't do much for coaches Al Arbor and Emil Francis.

995
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:29,960
I want to remind you now, the winner of this game,

996
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:32,960
as we gave you some possibilities before,

997
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:38,960
will be playing Sunday either in Buffalo, Montreal, or Pittsburgh,

998
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:41,960
depending on who wins in this first round.

999
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:43,960
Faced off to the left of Villamur.

1000
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:46,960
On the draw, Billy Harris, right point.

1001
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:48,960
Anderson intercepts.

1002
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:50,960
Anderson with a puck to Ron Harris.

1003
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:52,960
To Sanderson, back to Harris.

1004
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:54,960
Intercepted by Billy Harris.

1005
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,960
Two on one, Billy, he's knocked down.

1006
01:24:57,960 --> 01:24:59,960
And it's an offside on the Islanders.

1007
01:24:59,960 --> 01:25:03,960
Faced off in the center right zone, outside the Rangers line.

1008
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:05,960
Well that was a big offside call,

1009
01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:09,960
because had the offside not been called, perhaps a tripping call might have been in order.

1010
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,960
As Billy Harris came over the line, he was tripped up by Marat,

1011
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:17,960
but the offside, which preceded the foul, takes precedence there and the offside stands.

1012
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:20,960
Again, a good break for the Islanders, which they don't capitalize on.

1013
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:24,960
The Islanders with a man advantage, four on three in 24 seconds.

1014
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:26,960
It'll be five on four.

1015
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:30,960
Billy Fairburn, Dennis Potvin in the penalty box.

1016
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:33,960
One nothing, the Islanders lead on the first period goal.

1017
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:36,960
That has been the difference so far by Gillies.

1018
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,960
On the draw, Parisi around the board.

1019
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:42,960
Harris trying to get it out and Sanderson does get it out.

1020
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,960
Into the Islanders end, stopped by Billy Smith.

1021
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:49,960
Billy leaves it in back, collected by John Potvin.

1022
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:52,960
John coming back. John center right.

1023
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:55,960
John Potvin left wing, Parisi back to John.

1024
01:25:55,960 --> 01:26:00,960
John Potvin right point, through and thick back the shot, skips up into the crowd.

1025
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:03,960
And we're going to have a face off coming up.

1026
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:05,960
We're down to nine seconds on the penalty.

1027
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,960
To Billy Fairburn and to Dennis Potvin.

1028
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:11,960
The Islanders with a man advantage, a four on three situation.

1029
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,960
And we still have a minute 31 to go on the penalty digression.

1030
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:17,960
Well Don, you see a classic difference here in the styles of the two clubs.

1031
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:22,960
When the Rangers get the play, the power play, they move the puck looking for a close in shot.

1032
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:26,960
We've seen the Islanders throughout this series when they've been up on the power play.

1033
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:30,960
Content to take the long point shot, which I think frankly plays into the hands of your opponent.

1034
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:34,960
When you have that four on three situation, what you want to do is move it in.

1035
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:40,960
The clock evidently, Jim has gone awry and it's been wound down.

1036
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:46,960
The penalty has now concluded on Billy Fairburn of the Rangers and Dennis Potvin of the Islanders.

1037
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:49,960
So we go to a five on four situation.

1038
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:52,960
And Ron Greshner now is still in the penalty box.

1039
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:56,960
He's got a minute and 21 seconds to go on his penalty.

1040
01:26:56,960 --> 01:26:58,960
So the Islanders end up with a man advantage anyway.

1041
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:02,960
The face off now outside the Rangers line, neutral zone at center right.

1042
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:05,960
And that puts Dennis Potvin out on the point where he can really do damage.

1043
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:10,960
So this here with now with one twenty one to go, the Islanders have a good opportunity to set it up.

1044
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:12,960
One change in the power play.

1045
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:15,960
Billy Harris has been inserted on right wing with Parisi and Jude Ruhn.

1046
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:19,960
Eddie Westfall sitting ready now for the face off.

1047
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:23,960
Sanderson and Jude Ruhn on the draw.

1048
01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:29,960
Comes back on the right to John Potvin, goes to brother Dennis up on the left wing ahead of Parisi.

1049
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:32,960
Parisi Park race for the puck in the corner.

1050
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:34,960
Billy Harris has it. Billy Harris with it.

1051
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:37,960
Billy on the right wing, wheeling away from Sanderson.

1052
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:39,960
Billy in the back of the net to Parisi.

1053
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,960
He's in the corner of the left to Villamur to Billy Harris.

1054
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,960
Billy now skating around back to the right point.

1055
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:47,960
John Potvin, cross eyes left point.

1056
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,960
Dennis left wing still in the puck is Jude Ruhn.

1057
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,960
Comes back to Dennis. Dennis to Parisi.

1058
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,960
Out front drawing his shot.

1059
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:00,960
He was looking for a tip in. Nobody put the stick down.

1060
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,960
John Potvin with it. John to Dennis.

1061
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:07,960
Dennis shoots, block, and the puck is in center right.

1062
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:09,960
Thirty seconds to go on the penalty to Greister.

1063
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:11,960
Dennis Potvin up to Billy Harris.

1064
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:14,960
The back pass to the right to John Potvin.

1065
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:17,960
John on the left wing ahead of Parisi.

1066
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:19,960
Villamur stops it, leads it for Sanderson.

1067
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:23,960
He fires it around the board and it deflects up into the crowd.

1068
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:25,960
We'll have another face off coming up.

1069
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:30,960
At the half in St. Louis in the ABA playoffs,

1070
01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:34,960
the New York Nets lead St. Louis 50 to 48.

1071
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:38,960
And we'll be bringing you the Nets and St. Louis game,

1072
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:41,960
if necessary, next Tuesday night at the Coliseum.

1073
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:45,960
Face off to the left to Villamur and the Rangers end one nothing out of it.

1074
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:47,960
Well, the islanders experiencing that same problem.

1075
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:51,960
Able to work the plays at the perimeter but not getting anything enclosed.

1076
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,960
Jude Ruhn put the puck across the goal mouth looking for Harris,

1077
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:56,960
but Billy was unable to get the stick to it.

1078
01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:59,960
But that's the kind of play that'll score on the power play.

1079
01:28:59,960 --> 01:29:01,960
Twenty seconds to go on the penalty to Greister.

1080
01:29:01,960 --> 01:29:04,960
Islanders with a man advantage a five on four situation.

1081
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:08,960
Battle for that puck, Donald Iran, Nystrom, the stick's flying.

1082
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:09,960
Villamur out of the net.

1083
01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:11,960
He bangs it around the board.

1084
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:13,960
Dennis Potvin trying to keep it in.

1085
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:14,960
Dennis does.

1086
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:15,960
Dennis with it.

1087
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:16,960
To Nystrom, right point.

1088
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:18,960
John Potvin shoots.

1089
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:21,960
And the islanders lead it two to nothing.

1090
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:24,960
And it's a power play goal.

1091
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:27,960
Four seconds to go on the penalty to Greister.

1092
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:30,960
And the islanders now have drawn up by two.

1093
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:35,960
The official time, 8.26 of the second period.

1094
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:37,960
Tom, I think that one was tipped.

1095
01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:41,960
And I think it'll go to either Denny Potvin or to Gary Howitt,

1096
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:43,960
both of whom were camped in front of the goal.

1097
01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:44,960
We talked about getting in front.

1098
01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:45,960
That's where you score.

1099
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:47,960
The islanders having two men in front of the goal.

1100
01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:49,960
Denny Potvin and Gary Howitt.

1101
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:50,960
It's two to nothing.

1102
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:52,960
Both teams now, of course, at full strength.

1103
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:54,960
That terminates the power play.

1104
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:59,960
On the draw, it's taken by Szymkowski across the line, right wing.

1105
01:29:59,960 --> 01:30:01,960
Lewis sends it around the board.

1106
01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:05,960
And Nystrom lets Marat declare himself and brings it out.

1107
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:08,960
Bob Nystrom across the line, right wing.

1108
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:10,960
Bob has it knocked off his stick.

1109
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:12,960
And Marat sends it around the board.

1110
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:14,960
It is taken by Howitt.

1111
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:18,960
Dennis Potvin gets the goal on a tip and is first in the playoff.

1112
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:20,960
John Potvin, Nystrom the assist.

1113
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:23,960
Potluse bounces across the mouth of the goal.

1114
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:26,960
And it comes out to center right.

1115
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:27,960
Lewis is there.

1116
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:30,960
To Nystrom, Bob right back down the middle.

1117
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:31,960
Nystrom quick shot.

1118
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:32,960
And it is blocked by Marat.

1119
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:34,960
He catches it in the midsection.

1120
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:35,960
There's a break in the action.

1121
01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:36,960
Two to nothing, islanders.

1122
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:37,960
We'll be back in a moment.

1123
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:42,960
Manhattan American continues its price rollback sale with a great deal in the 1975 Gremlin.

1131
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:16,960
Jim, we still don't have any word from Boston on the game with the Blackhawks.

1132
01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:18,960
Because that's another big game.

1133
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:20,960
The draw right out in front of Villamur in the slot.

1134
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:22,960
Back to the right point.

1135
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:23,960
Marshall tees it up the shot.

1136
01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:26,960
Knocked away by Villamur on the carom.

1137
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:27,960
Brad Park's got it.

1138
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:29,960
Park coming back out for the Rangers.

1139
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:30,960
Park with it.

1140
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:33,960
Right after him is Joe Drone, who can skate.

1141
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:34,960
Park brings it out.

1142
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:35,960
And Drone is all over him.

1143
01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:37,960
Drone really tying him up.

1144
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:40,960
Lewis comes in for the puck to help out.

1145
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:41,960
Gilbear's got it.

1146
01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:46,960
He had Manzinger-Rutel backhander partially blocked by Marshall.

1147
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:51,960
And the puck is taken by J.P. Parisi.

1148
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:52,960
Battle for that puck.

1149
01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:53,960
Loosen back of the net.

1150
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:55,960
Vickers has got it.

1151
01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:56,960
Back to the right point.

1152
01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:57,960
Ron Harris shoots.

1153
01:31:57,960 --> 01:31:59,960
The deflection is up over the net.

1154
01:31:59,960 --> 01:32:00,960
Billy didn't see it.

1155
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:01,960
Vickers with it.

1156
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:02,960
Centering pass.

1157
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:03,960
Knocked away.

1158
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:04,960
Billy Smith's got it.

1159
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:06,960
The save by Billy Smith.

1160
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:07,960
A beauty.

1161
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:09,960
Another great save by Billy.

1162
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:11,960
And on the puck is Eddie Westfall.

1163
01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:14,960
And he rolls it into the Rangers' end.

1164
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:16,960
Nine-fifty to go.

1165
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:17,960
Second period.

1166
01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:18,960
Islanders leading 2-0.

1167
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:19,960
What goal?

1168
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:21,960
Tending by Billy Smith.

1169
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:22,960
John Rutel across the line.

1170
01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:23,960
Left wing.

1171
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:24,960
The Vickers.

1172
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:25,960
Dr. Rutel.

1173
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:26,960
The shot.

1174
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:27,960
Hit the side of the net.

1175
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:29,960
Lewis fights for the puck.

1176
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:30,960
In comes Marshall.

1177
01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:32,960
It's called for a stoppage in play.

1178
01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:37,960
And with nine-thirty-seven to go, we will have a faceoff to the right of Billy Smith.

1179
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:39,960
Well, it's official now up in Boston.

1180
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:40,960
The Boston Bruins.

1181
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:45,960
Long time Stanley Cup club that's always been considered one of the favorites with Bobby

1182
01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:47,960
Orange, Phil Estesito and company.

1183
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:51,960
And they've been eliminated down from this year's finals in an upset, a startling upset

1184
01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:52,960
at that.

1185
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:55,960
The Chicago Blackhawks, third place in their division.

1186
01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:58,960
And they've eliminated the Bruins by the score of six to four.

1187
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:00,960
Congratulations to the Blackhawks.

1188
01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:02,960
And on they go in the Stanley Cup.

1189
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:07,960
That means that neither the Rangers nor the Islanders will go to Buffalo.

1190
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:09,960
Ready now for the draw.

1191
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:11,960
The Rangers fans really coming to life.

1192
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:16,960
They're trying to urge their team into the quarterfinal round.

1193
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:23,960
Billy Smith has been a different so far.

1194
01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:25,960
Bruce Hood, Neil Armstrong, Ray Scaffonello.

1195
01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:28,960
They've got their work cut out for them.

1196
01:33:28,960 --> 01:33:34,960
And Bruce Hood has done an excellent job, Jim, trying to control the game.

1197
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:35,960
It's been a tough one.

1198
01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:37,960
We're going to do it again.

1199
01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:38,960
Buck went down.

1200
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:39,960
We'll have another faceoff.

1201
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:41,960
Nine thirty-seven to go.

1202
01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:43,960
In the second period, Islanders lead two-nothing.

1203
01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:47,960
Don't forget now, New York Yankee baseball tomorrow afternoon.

1204
01:33:47,960 --> 01:33:49,960
Two-oh-five for New York Yankees warmup.

1205
01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:52,960
So be sure and join us here on WMCA.

1206
01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:55,960
The Yankees and the Tigers.

1207
01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:58,960
Ready now for the draw.

1208
01:33:58,960 --> 01:33:59,960
Buck loose.

1209
01:33:59,960 --> 01:34:01,960
Dennis Potvan fires it around the board.

1210
01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:02,960
Jerry Hart's got it.

1211
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:03,960
Hart's trying to get it out.

1212
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:04,960
Up the gullies.

1213
01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:05,960
Tipped it to Bourne.

1214
01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:06,960
He's racing with Maraghe.

1215
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:07,960
He comes in.

1216
01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:08,960
Down the middle.

1217
01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:13,960
What a save by Villamur.

1218
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:15,960
Harris was set up by Bourne.

1219
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:18,960
And the puck is in back of the Islanders' net.

1220
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:19,960
Around the board.

1221
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:21,960
Second by Denny Potvan to Bourne.

1222
01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:22,960
Tipped it to center right.

1223
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:24,960
Nine-oh-five to go.

1224
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:25,960
In the second period.

1225
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:27,960
Two-nothing Islanders.

1226
01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:28,960
And it was almost three.

1227
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:31,960
But Villamur with a fantastic save.

1228
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:32,960
Pucks send it to the Islanders.

1229
01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:33,960
And to the left of Billy Smith.

1230
01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:35,960
Gilles gets it around the board.

1231
01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:36,960
Gilles fights for it to Harris.

1232
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:37,960
Billy has it.

1233
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:39,960
Goes to his left for Bobby Bourne.

1234
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:40,960
He gets out to center right.

1235
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:41,960
Bourne after the puck.

1236
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:43,960
Bourne now having trouble.

1237
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:44,960
Loses to Fairburn.

1238
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:45,960
Fairburn with it.

1239
01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:47,960
He's in the corner with Billy Smith.

1240
01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:49,960
The Islanders furiously trying to get it out.

1241
01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:51,960
The Rangers fighting to keep it in.

1242
01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:53,960
And the battle continues for the Pucks.

1243
01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:54,960
Bang around.

1244
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:55,960
Fairburn's got it.

1245
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:57,960
Fairburn right wing coming in.

1246
01:34:57,960 --> 01:34:58,960
Down the middle.

1247
01:34:58,960 --> 01:34:59,960
Knocked away.

1248
01:34:59,960 --> 01:35:00,960
Fairburn again on the puck.

1249
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:01,960
Fairburn spun around.

1250
01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:02,960
Penalty coming up on Jerry Hart.

1251
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:13,960
And the official time on the penalty now is 11.32 of the period.

1252
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:15,960
There's a break in the action.

1253
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:17,960
Two-nothing Islanders will be back in a moment.

1254
01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:21,960
You must have a comment on whether or not you think the Yanks will win the pennant.

1255
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:24,960
Well that's what WMCA is all about.

1256
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:26,960
And that's what my program is all about.

1257
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:28,960
Hello I'm John Sterling.

1258
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:31,960
And I talk sports every weekday evening from 7 to 10.

1259
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:33,960
And all Saturday afternoon as well.

1260
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:35,960
And I want to talk to you.

1261
01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:38,960
Hey what do you say?

1262
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:42,960
WMCA.

1263
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:45,960
WMCA.

1264
01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:48,960
Before you go.

1265
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:52,960
Jerry Hart goes out for holding at 11.32.

1266
01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:55,960
The Islanders now are shorthanded once again.

1267
01:35:55,960 --> 01:35:57,960
They've been shorthanded once.

1268
01:35:57,960 --> 01:35:58,960
Two times.

1269
01:35:58,960 --> 01:35:59,960
Three.

1270
01:35:59,960 --> 01:36:02,960
Fourth penalty on the Islanders.

1271
01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:04,960
On the draw to Billy Smith.

1272
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:06,960
Billy sends it back to the left point area.

1273
01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:07,960
Park keeps it in.

1274
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:09,960
Rangers now really pressing.

1275
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:10,960
Lewis trying to get it out.

1276
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:12,960
Roger Behr's got it.

1277
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:15,960
Eddie Westphal pushes him out of the zone.

1278
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:16,960
Centering pass.

1279
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:17,960
Vickers to Park.

1280
01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:18,960
Left point.

1281
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:19,960
The shot.

1282
01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:20,960
Block.

1283
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:22,960
And cleared by a heading.

1284
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:25,960
Eight minutes to go in the second period.

1285
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:27,960
Both teams with furious action.

1286
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:28,960
What a game.

1287
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:31,960
As both have settled down to the game of hockey.

1288
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:34,960
On the puck is Richelle across the line.

1289
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:35,960
Right wing.

1290
01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:36,960
The fair burn centering pass.

1291
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:37,960
Deflected.

1292
01:36:37,960 --> 01:36:38,960
Park keeps it in.

1293
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:39,960
Goes to Joe Bear.

1294
01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:40,960
His pass knocked away.

1295
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:42,960
Eddie Westphal clears.

1296
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:45,960
And he sends it back to the Rangers end.

1297
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:51,960
We're now to a minute and ten to go on the penalty to Jerry Hart who went out for holding.

1298
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:53,960
The Rangers come back.

1299
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:56,960
With it now is Richelle.

1300
01:36:56,960 --> 01:36:58,960
His pass blocked.

1301
01:36:58,960 --> 01:36:59,960
Park shoots.

1302
01:36:59,960 --> 01:37:02,960
Great save by Billy Smith.

1303
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:03,960
Park again on the puck.

1304
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:05,960
In the part of the right of Billy Smith.

1305
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:06,960
And look at this.

1306
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:09,960
Butler and Lewis fighting in the crease.

1307
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:10,960
And they're going at it.

1308
01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:11,960
And the puck is loose.

1309
01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:13,960
Billy Smith sits on it.

1310
01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:15,960
And here's a real draw now.

1311
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:19,960
And Butler jumps on top of Lewis.

1312
01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:22,960
And now Lewis is on top of Butler.

1313
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:26,960
Well this one's a real pier sixer as Butler was sent in there to stir it up.

1314
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:28,960
And now he's got bodies all over the ice.

1315
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:32,960
It looks a little bit like last night.

1316
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:35,960
Bert Marshall was down on the ice with Brad Park.

1317
01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:38,960
And they let each other up as the officials now separate.

1318
01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:41,960
Butler and Lewis.

1319
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:43,960
Both of them tangling in front of the net.

1320
01:37:43,960 --> 01:37:46,960
Lewis doing his job trying to keep Butler away.

1321
01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:48,960
Jerry Butler trying to stir it up.

1322
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:51,960
I think they both got to go for five here.

1323
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:55,960
Well the big thing is that the puck was smothered in the crease.

1324
01:37:55,960 --> 01:37:56,960
And that's what it's all about.

1325
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:58,960
We got 48 seconds to go on the penalty to Hart.

1326
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:01,960
John, I hate to interrupt you but I think Butler may have lost a tooth.

1327
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:03,960
As they're looking around down there in the ice now.

1328
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:06,960
Or maybe a contact lens because now Butler's skating well.

1329
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:11,960
I was going to say because most of the boys have lost their teeth.

1330
01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:13,960
Butler of course is a very aggressive guy.

1331
01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:14,960
He's in the penalty box.

1332
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:16,960
Lewis is going to join him.

1333
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:20,960
You can see it coming because Butler wanted to try to stay in the slot.

1334
01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:22,960
Then he got into the crease area.

1335
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:24,960
And Billy Smith wanted him out of there.

1336
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:25,960
Lewis did the right thing.

1337
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:26,960
He tried to get him out of there.

1338
01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:27,960
And you know there was going to be a battle.

1339
01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:29,960
Well I hope this is five and five, John.

1340
01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:33,960
Because I think what Emile may have wanted was a couple of two minute penalties.

1341
01:38:33,960 --> 01:38:35,960
To set up a four on three situation.

1342
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:37,960
I hope they each get five here.

1343
01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:39,960
Oh no.

1344
01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:40,960
Yes, okay.

1345
01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:41,960
There it goes.

1346
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:42,960
It's going to go for seven minutes.

1347
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:44,960
So that will be a coincidental penalty.

1348
01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:46,960
And there will be no manpower shortage as a result.

1349
01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:50,960
Alright, 48 seconds to go on the penalty to Jerry Hart.

1350
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:52,960
The Islanders are short handed.

1351
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:56,960
The Rangers and the Islanders battling furiously here.

1352
01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:59,960
Seven sixteen to go in the second period.

1353
01:38:59,960 --> 01:39:01,960
And the Islanders lead it two to nothing.

1354
01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:04,960
And the hunt continues for a contact lens.

1355
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:09,960
And Jim you can imagine it's a very very light tissue on top of that ice.

1356
01:39:09,960 --> 01:39:11,960
It's almost impossible to find.

1357
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:12,960
Right it is.

1358
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:16,960
I notice Butler has a ghost head though, Dom, down there in the penalty box.

1359
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:19,960
So I'm not certain that he wears contact lenses, are you?

1360
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:23,960
I don't know at all, Jim, whether he does.

1361
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:25,960
Both of them got in good shots though.

1362
01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:27,960
We wouldn't want to give them the wrong impression I think.

1363
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:29,960
The first four rounds of the brawl went to Butler.

1364
01:39:29,960 --> 01:39:32,960
And I guess the last four went to Lewis.

1365
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:34,960
And we gave him a draw.

1366
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:36,960
I tell you Jim, you remind me of Johnny Addy.

1367
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:38,960
Was he one of your favorites?

1368
01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:39,960
Yes he was.

1369
01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:40,960
On the puck is Henning Henning.

1370
01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:42,960
So Denny Plotman in.

1371
01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:44,960
Shot. Goal!

1372
01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:47,960
And the Islanders go out front three to nothing.

1373
01:39:47,960 --> 01:39:52,960
And it's a short handed goal for Dennis Plotman.

1374
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:54,960
The official time of the goal.

1375
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:57,960
Twelve fifty one of the second period.

1376
01:39:57,960 --> 01:39:59,960
Well, Lorne Henning made the play.

1377
01:39:59,960 --> 01:40:00,960
Lorne Henning blocking the pass.

1378
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:03,960
Sending Dennis Plotman in with forty one seconds.

1379
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:04,960
Still up on the board of the penalty.

1380
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:08,960
Plotman cleanly beating Villa Muro with a slap shot.

1381
01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:11,960
And all of a sudden this garden crowd is really shocked.

1382
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:12,960
They don't believe what they're seeing, Dom.

1383
01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:16,960
As the Islanders jump out three oh.

1384
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:17,960
Well, it's not over.

1385
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:19,960
We got seven oh nine to go here in the second period.

1386
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:21,960
The entire third period.

1387
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:23,960
The Islanders are still short handed.

1388
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:28,960
A short handed goal for Denny Plotman.

1389
01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:30,960
Dennis Plotman from Lorne Henning.

1390
01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:32,960
Joe Bear across the line.

1391
01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:33,960
Right wing.

1392
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:34,960
Eddie Westball has the puck.

1393
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:38,960
Gets it out to center right and rolls into the Rangers end.

1394
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:41,960
Twelve fifty one the official time of the goal.

1395
01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:43,960
For Dennis' second goal of the night.

1396
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:45,960
Second of the playoff.

1397
01:40:45,960 --> 01:40:47,960
Rick Middleton up to his own line.

1398
01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:49,960
The puck taken by Butler down the middle of Rattell.

1399
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:50,960
He's ridden off.

1400
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:52,960
And Burt Marshall's got it.

1401
01:40:52,960 --> 01:40:55,960
Rattell fighting for the puck.

1402
01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:56,960
It's in the corner.

1403
01:40:56,960 --> 01:40:58,960
Irvin after it.

1404
01:40:58,960 --> 01:40:59,960
Dennis Plotman clears.

1405
01:40:59,960 --> 01:41:00,960
Three seconds.

1406
01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:01,960
Two.

1407
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:02,960
One.

1408
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:04,960
And time up on the penalty.

1409
01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:05,960
Both teams at full strength.

1410
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:07,960
Rodgiel Bear with the puck.

1411
01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:09,960
The Islanders change of the fly.

1412
01:41:09,960 --> 01:41:11,960
To Stempkowski up on the left wing.

1413
01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:13,960
And the puck is knocked away by Denny Plotman.

1414
01:41:13,960 --> 01:41:15,960
Regained by Stempkowski.

1415
01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:16,960
To Ted Irvin.

1416
01:41:16,960 --> 01:41:17,960
Taken by McMillan.

1417
01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:19,960
McMillan two on one.

1418
01:41:19,960 --> 01:41:20,960
Left wing.

1419
01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:21,960
Shot.

1420
01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:22,960
Safe.

1421
01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:23,960
Shot.

1422
01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:24,960
Great save.

1423
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:25,960
The shot off the post by Stonlarod.

1424
01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:26,960
Villamur with a couple of great saves.

1425
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:29,960
The Islanders with another great opportunity.

1426
01:41:29,960 --> 01:41:32,960
Six minutes to play in the second period.

1427
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:35,960
And the puck is battled for and sat on.

1428
01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:36,960
Along the board.

1429
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:38,960
To the right of the goaltender Villamur.

1430
01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:40,960
The Islanders lead it three nothing.

1431
01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:41,960
Five fifty six to go.

1432
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:42,960
Second period.

1433
01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:45,960
Well the Islanders coming very close there to making it four nothing.

1434
01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:48,960
And now Eddie Jopman is jumping over the board tonight.

1435
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:54,960
Can't remember when I've seen so many goaltenders in games between the Islanders and the Raysers.

1436
01:41:54,960 --> 01:41:56,960
Kill Villamur to get him his dude down.

1437
01:41:56,960 --> 01:41:57,960
I really think it's hurting.

1438
01:41:57,960 --> 01:41:59,960
He's been moving very slowly.

1439
01:41:59,960 --> 01:42:01,960
And he did his best out there tonight.

1440
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:02,960
He's a great goaltender.

1441
01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:04,960
And I think the leg was really bothering him.

1442
01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:05,960
It was.

1443
01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:06,960
And he is a great goaltender.

1444
01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:09,960
And he did an outstanding job.

1445
01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:12,960
And Villamur of course not happy with himself.

1446
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:14,960
He's a great competitor.

1447
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:17,960
But he really was great last night and again tonight.

1448
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:20,960
Face off to the right of Eddie Jackaman.

1449
01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:22,960
Who comes in now.

1450
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:25,960
And it'll be the right of Eddie in the Rangers end.

1451
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:29,960
Well Andre Cylaron had a great opportunity there to make it four nothing.

1452
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:31,960
Right before the goalie change.

1453
01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:33,960
And we ought to point out that Jopman comes into the game cold.

1454
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:36,960
His last warm up was some fifteen minutes before the game.

1455
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:40,960
And he really didn't warm up very well as he was not the starter here tonight.

1456
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:41,960
On the draw.

1457
01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:43,960
Taken by Ron Harris.

1458
01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:44,960
The center right.

1459
01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:45,960
To Urban.

1460
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:46,960
Back to Szymkowski.

1461
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:47,960
Knocked off his stick.

1462
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:49,960
The puck in the Islanders end.

1463
01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:50,960
Billy Smith.

1464
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:52,960
Sticks it in the corner to his left.

1465
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:54,960
And Jerry Hart is after it.

1466
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:57,960
And we're going to have a face off coming up.

1467
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:00,960
And a slashing call coming up.

1468
01:43:00,960 --> 01:43:03,960
The official time on that slashing penalty now.

1469
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:06,960
Is going to be fourteen minutes and twenty seconds.

1470
01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:08,960
Of the second period.

1471
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:11,960
Let's pause fifteen seconds for station identification.

1472
01:43:11,960 --> 01:43:13,960
The Islanders lead three nothing.

1473
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:15,960
This is New York Islanders hockey.

1474
01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:20,960
This is WMCA New York. I'm Leon Lewis.

1475
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:22,960
Catch me every afternoon twelve fifteen till three.

1476
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:23,960
We'll talk.

1477
01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:25,960
489-1155.

1478
01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:35,960
Ron Harris two minutes for slashing the Islanders now.

1479
01:43:35,960 --> 01:43:39,960
Have Dave Lewis still in the penalty box.

1480
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:42,960
Who was involved in that brawl with Butler.

1481
01:43:42,960 --> 01:43:46,960
But of course those were coincidental majors.

1482
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:47,960
So it didn't matter.

1483
01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:50,960
So now we have a five on four situation.

1484
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:52,960
The Islanders with a man advantage.

1485
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:54,960
They lead to the hockey game three to nothing.

1486
01:43:54,960 --> 01:43:56,960
Five forty to play second period.

1487
01:43:56,960 --> 01:43:58,960
Billy Harris with a puck.

1488
01:43:58,960 --> 01:43:59,960
Billy tried to move around Park.

1489
01:43:59,960 --> 01:44:01,960
And Park makes a good play and knocks it away.

1490
01:44:01,960 --> 01:44:02,960
Kachuk's got it.

1491
01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:04,960
Walt Kachuk down the middle.

1492
01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:06,960
Kachuk trying to control it.

1493
01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:07,960
Knocked away.

1494
01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:08,960
Dennis Puckman.

1495
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:09,960
He's got two goals tonight.

1496
01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:10,960
Down the middle.

1497
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:11,960
Left wing.

1498
01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:12,960
Shoots wide.

1499
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:13,960
The camera on the board.

1500
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:15,960
Billy Harris coming in from the right wing.

1501
01:44:15,960 --> 01:44:17,960

1502
01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:18,960
Harris written up against the board.

1503
01:44:18,960 --> 01:44:19,960
Back to the right point.

1504
01:44:19,960 --> 01:44:21,960
John Pottman with it.

1505
01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:23,960
John being held by Kachuk.

1506
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:27,960
And the puck is cleared by Marat.

1507
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:28,960
Hit back at the net.

1508
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:29,960
Billy Smith stops it.

1509
01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:31,960
We're down to five minutes to go now.

1510
01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:32,960
The second period.

1511
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:34,960
The Islanders lead three nothing.

1512
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:35,960
We're under five minutes.

1513
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:37,960
Back comes a John Pottman.

1514
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:38,960

He moves it around Gillies.

1519
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:46,960
It's on the right wing board.

1520
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:48,960
Trying to bring it out now is Brad Park.

1521
01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:49,960
Park loses it to Born.

1522
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:51,960
Born goes cross-ice.

1523
01:44:51,960 --> 01:44:52,960

01:44:57,960 --> 01:44:59,960
Knocked down is Billy Harris.

01:44:59,960 --> 01:45:01,960
And the puck is cleared by Billy Fairburn

1530
01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:03,960

1531
01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:06,960

01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:36,960
Greshner still controlling.

1547
01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:38,960
He's hit under the board.

1548
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:40,960
And the puck is still loose.

1549
01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:41,960

1550
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:43,960
Fairburn is pinned under the board.

1551
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:44,960

Over the stick of Stemkowski.

1561
01:45:58,960 --> 01:46:00,960
And time is up on the paneling.

1562
01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:02,960
Both teams are at full strength.

1563
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:04,960
Three and a half minutes to go in the second period.

1564
01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:06,960
To Andre St. Laurent.

1565
01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:07,960
Andre has it knocked off his stick.

1566
01:46:07,960 --> 01:46:08,960
Gary Howlett's got it.

1567
01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:09,960
Howlett on the left wing.

1568
01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:11,960
Howlett loses to Stemkowski.

1569
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:12,960
The Rangers come back.

1570
01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:14,960
Stemkowski with it.

1571
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:15,960
Stemkowski down the middle.

1572
01:46:15,960 --> 01:46:16,960
He shoots.

1573
01:46:16,960 --> 01:46:18,960
Blocked by John Pottman.

1574
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:20,960
Bob Nice from comes back with Pottman.

1575
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:22,960
John across the line right wing.

1576
01:46:22,960 --> 01:46:23,960
John Pottman.

1577
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:24,960
A nice from the shot.

1578
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:25,960
A save by Jakobman.

1579
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:27,960
He moves into the corner to his right.

1580
01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:28,960
Centering pass.

1581
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:29,960
Back to the left point.

1582
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:30,960
Deep out front.

1583
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:31,960
Marshall shoots.

1584
01:46:31,960 --> 01:46:32,960
Knocked down in front.

1585
01:46:32,960 --> 01:46:33,960
Howlett after the puck.

1586
01:46:33,960 --> 01:46:34,960
Right point.

1587
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:35,960
John Pottman.

1588
01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:37,960
His pass crossed ice to the left point.

1589
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:39,960
And it is behind Burt Marshall.

1590
01:46:39,960 --> 01:46:41,960
Back comes John Rattell.

1591
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:43,960
Rattell is knocked off his stick.

1592
01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:44,960
To Stemkowski down the middle.

1593
01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:46,960
Hits a flex up in the air.

1594
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:47,960
Pushed away by Howlett.

1595
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:48,960
Nice from after the puck.

1596
01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:50,960
Nice from around Greshner.

1597
01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:52,960
Nice from has a man in front drawing.

1598
01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:53,960
The centering pass.

1599
01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:54,960
Howlett.

1600
01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:55,960
The shot.

1601
01:46:55,960 --> 01:46:56,960
A save.

1602
01:46:56,960 --> 01:46:59,960
And another great save by Jakobman.

1603
01:46:59,960 --> 01:47:00,960
Back comes Rattell.

1604
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:01,960
The penalty.

1605
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:03,960
And here we go.

1606
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:04,960
Now Howlett and Jakobman.

1607
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:05,960
Look at this.

1608
01:47:05,960 --> 01:47:06,960
And Howlett.

1609
01:47:06,960 --> 01:47:07,960
Gary Howlett is not fighting.

1610
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:08,960
This is amazing.

1611
01:47:08,960 --> 01:47:09,960
He let Jakobman hit him three or four times Tom.

1612
01:47:09,960 --> 01:47:10,960
And never threw a push.

1613
01:47:10,960 --> 01:47:11,960
He didn't hit him.

1614
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:12,960
I don't understand that Gary.

1615
01:47:12,960 --> 01:47:13,960
Oh I do.

1616
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:14,960
He saw the play.

1617
01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:15,960
Jakobman was called for cross checking.

1618
01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:16,960
Pud had his hand up.

1619
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:17,960
Pulling the check.

1620
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:18,960
Gary did not want to go back at him.

1621
01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:19,960
Figuring now they ought to be two penalties called on Jakobman.

1622
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:20,960
Smart hits a play by Gary Howlett.

1623
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:21,960
Let's see how they call it Howlett.

1624
01:47:21,960 --> 01:47:32,960
A crowd chanting Eddie.

1625
01:47:32,960 --> 01:47:37,960
But of course.

1626
01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:42,960
Tom I must say that Gary Howlett there showed tremendous poise.

1627
01:47:42,960 --> 01:47:43,960
Gary's a competitor.

1628
01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:44,960
We both know that.

1629
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:45,960
Gary held his hands up in the air.

1630
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:46,960
Step back and never threw a punch.

1631
01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:47,960
Let's see what happens though.

1632
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:48,960
Let's get the call first.

1633
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:49,960
Gary Howlett.

1634
01:47:49,960 --> 01:47:51,960
Gary's probably saying to Jakobman we'll see you later.

1635
01:47:51,960 --> 01:47:54,960
And of course Eddie Jakobman's not going to back off either.

1636
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:55,960
He's a great competitor.

1637
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:56,960
Let's get the call now.

1638
01:47:56,960 --> 01:47:57,960
This is what I mean.

1639
01:47:57,960 --> 01:47:58,960
Look at this.

1640
01:47:58,960 --> 01:47:59,960
Oh now Howlett's going to get a penalty.

1641
01:47:59,960 --> 01:48:00,960
I knew it.

1642
01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:01,960
Oh man.

1643
01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:02,960
All right let's see how they call it and then we'll give it to you.

1644
01:48:02,960 --> 01:48:07,960
The official time of the penalty will be seventeen thirty four of the second period.

1645
01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:10,960
The Islanders are leading the game.

1646
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:27,960
Bob Knight from his best friend tells him to go to the penalty box and we were following

1647
01:48:27,960 --> 01:48:28,960
the puck.

1648
01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:30,960
As Jim gave it to you now let's get these calls first.

1649
01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:32,960
That's why Gary Howlett wouldn't fight with him.

1650
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:37,960
He wanted the advantage and Jakobman knew it and tried to draw him into it and Eddie got

1651
01:48:37,960 --> 01:48:38,960
away with it.

1652
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:41,960
Well it remains to be seen what the total calls will be.

1653
01:48:41,960 --> 01:48:44,960
I know Hood had his hand raised for Jakobman on the cross check.

1654
01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:47,960
Let's see what happens in the fighting situation.

1655
01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:50,960
I somehow have to believe Hood was looking right at it.

1656
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:51,960
I know he's going to play.

1657
01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:54,960
I think the Islanders ought to get an advantage out of this situation.

1658
01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:57,960
All right it's three to nothing.

1659
01:48:57,960 --> 01:48:58,960
Second period.

1660
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:01,960
The Islanders lead two twenty six to go.

1661
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:04,960
Chicago has already defeated Boston in a best two out of three.

1662
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:08,960
So that means the Islanders will not play in Buffalo.

1663
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:13,960
Now with Chicago winning we have to wait and see who wins between Los Angeles and Toronto.

1664
01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:18,960
Here are the panel is now.

1665
01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:20,960
Gary Howlett is going to go off.

1666
01:49:20,960 --> 01:49:23,960
He already has.

1667
01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:31,960
Roughing on Gary Howlett.

1668
01:49:31,960 --> 01:49:39,960
Two minutes for roughing, two minutes for cross checking.

1669
01:49:39,960 --> 01:49:44,960
Game misconduct for Pete Demkowski who was the third man on the fight.

1670
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:46,960
Well I have to say that's fairly equitable.

1671
01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:51,960
I knew that the call was going to go to Jakobman for roughing.

1672
01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:52,960
I saw the roughing.

1673
01:49:52,960 --> 01:49:53,960
I saw Hood's hand go up.

1674
01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:55,960
The only smart move that Gary made.

1675
01:49:55,960 --> 01:49:58,960
Gary took a punch or two and you have to give Gary a lot of credit.

1676
01:49:58,960 --> 01:49:59,960
They gave him roughing.

1677
01:49:59,960 --> 01:50:01,960
I don't think he was guilty of roughing myself.

1678
01:50:01,960 --> 01:50:05,960
But if you had to look at it objectively I thought Hood handled that situation very well.

1679
01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:06,960
He's done a great job really.

1680
01:50:06,960 --> 01:50:08,960
This is a very spirited game.

1681
01:50:08,960 --> 01:50:10,960
It's a very difficult game to call.

1682
01:50:10,960 --> 01:50:12,960
I think he's handled it extremely well.

1683
01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:16,960
And you know how high tempers are because all the marbles are on the table.

1684
01:50:16,960 --> 01:50:18,960
So to recap it for you.

1685
01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:23,960
Eddie Jakobman will have his penalty served by Nick Beveley.

1686
01:50:23,960 --> 01:50:26,960
He gets two minutes for roughing, two minutes for the cross check.

1687
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:28,960
Gary Howlett two minutes for roughing.

1688
01:50:28,960 --> 01:50:31,960
Pete Stamkowski the game misconduct.

1689
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:33,960
He was the third man in the fight.

1690
01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:35,960
So he's out for the remainder of the game.

1691
01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:37,960
However there's no loss of personnel on the ice.

1692
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:40,960
So the Islanders are going to come out of this thing with a man advantage.

1693
01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:42,960
And that's the most important thing.

1694
01:50:42,960 --> 01:50:44,960
Well they may come out of it with even more than that Don.

1695
01:50:44,960 --> 01:50:47,960
Because we've seen Billy Smith get involved in these kinds of things.

1696
01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:52,960
And I don't believe a goaltender who gets involved in fighting is truly concentrating on being a goaltender.

1697
01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:56,960
I know Smithy usually gets involved in games when the Islanders are either way up or way out.

1698
01:50:56,960 --> 01:51:01,960
And the Rangers right here you know can ill afford to give up another goal.

1699
01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:03,960
Jakobman has been brought in out of the bullpen to stem the tide.

1700
01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:06,960
The first thing he does is get involved in a scrap.

1701
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:11,960
Gary who I've known Gary a while and Gary let's say to be truthful has provoked on occasion.

1702
01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:15,960
But in that particular situation Gary Howlett was very very innocent.

1703
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:17,960
He was skating away from Jakobman.

1704
01:51:17,960 --> 01:51:19,960
Jakobman came out of the crease to cross check him.

1705
01:51:19,960 --> 01:51:21,960
That was the first two minute roughing call.

1706
01:51:21,960 --> 01:51:24,960
Gary just stepped around looked at Jakobman.

1707
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:26,960
Jakobman threw at least one or two punches.

1708
01:51:26,960 --> 01:51:29,960
And Gary really made no effort to hit the goaltender.

1709
01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:32,960
Alright ready for the draw now outside the Rangers line.

1710
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:35,960
It's a four on four situation for two minutes.

1711
01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:38,960
Then the Islanders are going to get the man advantage for the other two minutes.

1712
01:51:38,960 --> 01:51:40,960
On the puck Ron Harris.

1713
01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:41,960
Cross the line left wing.

1714
01:51:41,960 --> 01:51:43,960
Harris with the puck it's offside.

1715
01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:47,960
Face off in the neutral zone at center right outside the Islanders line.

1716
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:49,960
Two fifteen to go second period.

1717
01:51:49,960 --> 01:51:51,960
Islanders out front three nothing.

1718
01:51:51,960 --> 01:51:54,960
First period goal by Clark Gulley second period.

1719
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:58,960
Dennis Potman has a power play goal and a short handed goal.

1720
01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:00,960
He has been brilliant tonight.

1721
01:52:00,960 --> 01:52:03,960
On the draw in the corner of the left of Billy Smith.

1722
01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:05,960
Bert Marshall banks it around the board.

1723
01:52:05,960 --> 01:52:06,960
John Potman's got it.

1724
01:52:06,960 --> 01:52:08,960
John trying to get it out.

1725
01:52:08,960 --> 01:52:10,960
Wheels to the right of his goaltender.

1726
01:52:10,960 --> 01:52:12,960
Goes to Marshall back to John Potman.

1727
01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:15,960
John up on the right wing off the stick of Jude drawing.

1728
01:52:15,960 --> 01:52:16,960
Goes back to the puck.

1729
01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:17,960
So does Harris.

1730
01:52:17,960 --> 01:52:19,960
It's in back of the net.

1731
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:22,960
We're into two minutes to go now in the second period.

1732
01:52:22,960 --> 01:52:25,960
DeJohn Ritale right back to Brad Park.

1733
01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:26,960
Park comes out up the middle.

1734
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:27,960
Center right.

1735
01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:29,960
Park coming across the line right wing.

1736
01:52:29,960 --> 01:52:30,960
Park with the puck.

1737
01:52:30,960 --> 01:52:32,960
Park still controlling.

1738
01:52:32,960 --> 01:52:33,960
Wheeling.

1739
01:52:33,960 --> 01:52:34,960
Park to Harris.

1740
01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:35,960
Right point.

1741
01:52:35,960 --> 01:52:36,960
Shot wide.

1742
01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:39,960
And the caram rolls all the way out to center right.

1743
01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:41,960
Minute and a half to go in the second period.

1744
01:52:41,960 --> 01:52:47,960
And we have a minute to go on the penalty to Hallett before the Islanders get the man advantage.

1745
01:52:47,960 --> 01:52:49,960
And the puck fired in the Islanders.

1746
01:52:49,960 --> 01:52:51,960
And Burt Marshall has it.

1747
01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:52,960
Burt in back of the net.

1748
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:53,960
Jill Baer is forechecking.

1749
01:52:53,960 --> 01:52:55,960
Burt now trying to get it out.

1750
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:58,960
Burt with it up on the left wing off the board.

1751
01:52:58,960 --> 01:52:59,960
Jude drawing with the puck.

1752
01:52:59,960 --> 01:53:00,960
Center right.

1753
01:53:00,960 --> 01:53:02,960
Jude coming across the line down the middle.

1754
01:53:02,960 --> 01:53:03,960
Jude drawing.

1755
01:53:03,960 --> 01:53:05,960
Trying to move around Ron Harris.

1756
01:53:05,960 --> 01:53:06,960
Still has the puck.

1757
01:53:06,960 --> 01:53:07,960
Knocked away by Jackaman.

1758
01:53:07,960 --> 01:53:09,960
And Brad Park has it.

1759
01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:10,960
Minute to go in the second period.

1760
01:53:10,960 --> 01:53:12,960
Three nothing Islanders.

1761
01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:15,960
Jackaman just moves the puck in back of the net.

1762
01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:18,960
Thirty seconds to go on the penalty to Gary Hallett.

1763
01:53:18,960 --> 01:53:20,960
And then the Islanders will have a man advantage.

1764
01:53:20,960 --> 01:53:21,960
Eddie Westfall has the puck.

1765
01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:23,960
He steals it on the right wing.

1766
01:53:23,960 --> 01:53:25,960
Eddie loses to Sean Rattell.

1767
01:53:25,960 --> 01:53:26,960
Rattell coming back.

1768
01:53:26,960 --> 01:53:28,960
Back past to Brad Park.

1769
01:53:28,960 --> 01:53:29,960
Park brings it out.

1770
01:53:29,960 --> 01:53:30,960
Center right.

1771
01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:31,960
Park.

1772
01:53:31,960 --> 01:53:32,960
Across the line.

1773
01:53:32,960 --> 01:53:33,960
Drop pass Harris.

1774
01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:34,960
Down the middle.

1775
01:53:34,960 --> 01:53:35,960
Jude shot.

1776
01:53:35,960 --> 01:53:37,960
Made by Billy Smith.

1777
01:53:37,960 --> 01:53:39,960
And the puck is battled for.

1778
01:53:39,960 --> 01:53:40,960
Dennis Puckman clears.

1779
01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:41,960
Gillies collect.

1780
01:53:41,960 --> 01:53:42,960
Two on one.

1781
01:53:42,960 --> 01:53:43,960
Clark shoots.

1782
01:53:43,960 --> 01:53:44,960
Knocked down.

1783
01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:45,960
The shot up over the net.

1784
01:53:45,960 --> 01:53:47,960
Hit the top of the crossbar.

1785
01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:48,960
It greens it.

1786
01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:50,960
And the Islanders now have a man advantage.

1787
01:53:50,960 --> 01:53:52,960
As Hallett's penalty is up.

1788
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:53,960
On the puck.

1789
01:53:53,960 --> 01:53:55,960
Burt Marshall goes to his right.

1790
01:53:55,960 --> 01:53:56,960
Dennis Puckman to Westfall.

1791
01:53:56,960 --> 01:53:57,960
Eddie to Hallett.

1792
01:53:57,960 --> 01:53:58,960
Left wing.

1793
01:53:58,960 --> 01:53:59,960
Gillies shoot.

1794
01:53:59,960 --> 01:54:01,960
A save and a beauty by Jackaman.

1795
01:54:01,960 --> 01:54:02,960
Out front.

1796
01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:03,960
Deflected away.

1797
01:54:03,960 --> 01:54:04,960
Marshall with it.

1798
01:54:04,960 --> 01:54:05,960
Burt shot.

1799
01:54:05,960 --> 01:54:06,960
Blocked.

1800
01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:07,960
Eddie Westfall keeps it in.

1801
01:54:07,960 --> 01:54:08,960
And that ought to do it for the period.

1802
01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:09,960
And that's it.

1803
01:54:09,960 --> 01:54:11,960
At the end of two full periods of play.

1804
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:14,960
The Islanders lead 3-0.

1805
01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:18,960
Have you noticed how many banks now charge 15 cents per check with their special checking

1806
01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:19,960
account?

1807
01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:20,960
Hey buddy, keep it down, will ya?

1808
01:54:20,960 --> 01:54:21,960
It's inflation.

1809
01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:22,960
I asked you to keep it down.

1810
01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:24,960
That's why European American Bank introduces noflation checking.

1811
01:54:24,960 --> 01:54:26,960
Are you gonna keep it down or not?

1812
01:54:26,960 --> 01:54:27,960
That's what I'm trying to tell ya.

1813
01:54:27,960 --> 01:54:31,960
Noflation means the per check charge at European American is still just 10 cents.

1814
01:54:31,960 --> 01:54:35,960
There's no minimum balance and the service charge is still just 75 cents per month.

1815
01:54:35,960 --> 01:54:37,960
Checks still just 10 cents at European American?

1816
01:54:37,960 --> 01:54:38,960
Yeah.

1817
01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:39,960
You did keep it down.

1818
01:54:39,960 --> 01:54:42,960
European American Bank, member FDIC.

1819
01:54:42,960 --> 01:54:45,960
We've made a commitment to bring you better banking.

1820
01:54:45,960 --> 01:54:46,960
Yankees.

1821
01:54:46,960 --> 01:54:47,960
Abdel-Jabbar.

1822
01:54:47,960 --> 01:54:48,960
Raiders.

1823
01:54:48,960 --> 01:54:49,960
Cesar-Cedeno.

1824
01:54:49,960 --> 01:54:51,960
Hi, this is John Sterling.

1825
01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:55,760
Names, faces, and places in the sports world.

1826
01:54:55,760 --> 01:55:00,660
We take them all in and argue them out every evening Monday through Friday from 7 to 10

1827
01:55:00,660 --> 01:55:02,960
and all afternoon on Saturday.

1828
01:55:02,960 --> 01:55:03,960
Larry Zonka.

1829
01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:05,960
WMCA 4th.

1830
01:55:05,960 --> 01:55:06,960
John Sterling.

1831
01:55:06,960 --> 01:55:09,960
WMCA 4th.

1832
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:12,960
John Sterling.

1833
01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:15,960
WMCA 4th.

1834
01:55:15,960 --> 01:55:18,960
John Sterling.

1835
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:21,960
WMCA 4th.

1836
01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:24,960
Now here's a word from the number one beer in New York.

1837
01:55:24,960 --> 01:55:34,960
Hey, Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one.

1838
01:55:34,960 --> 01:55:36,960
New York is full of landmarks.

1839
01:55:36,960 --> 01:55:41,960
The Battery, Washington Square, Shea Stadium, and over on Kent Avenue in Brooklyn, there's another landmark.

1840
01:55:41,960 --> 01:55:43,960
The Schaefer Brewery.

1841
01:55:43,960 --> 01:55:47,960
Since 1842, there's always been a Schaefer Brewery in New York.

1842
01:55:47,960 --> 01:55:54,960
Because New York has always liked Schaefer's way of tasting first beer good, beer after beer, year after year.

1843
01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:57,960
Schaefer's a beer born and brewed right here in New York.

1844
01:55:57,960 --> 01:56:00,960
It's New York's number one beer.

1845
01:56:00,960 --> 01:56:13,960
Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one.

1846
01:56:13,960 --> 01:56:21,960
With the Islanders leading 1-0, Dennis Potvan picked up a power play goal from John Potvan and Bob Nice from an 8.26 to make it 2-0.

1847
01:56:21,960 --> 01:56:28,960
And then Dennis Potvan, a shorthanded goal, his second of the playoffs from Lauren Henning at 12.51, made it 3-0.

1848
01:56:28,960 --> 01:56:33,960
Shots on goal, 13 for the Islanders, 11 for the Rangers in the second period.

1849
01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:38,960
The Rangers have outshot the Islanders 26-21 at the 2 period.

1850
01:56:38,960 --> 01:56:41,960
Intermission highlights are next on New York Islanders hockey.

1851
01:56:41,960 --> 01:56:45,960
3-0 Islanders will be back in a moment.

1852
01:56:45,960 --> 01:56:57,960
On July 1, 1974, after years of selling only one kind of gasoline, premium, the Getty Oil Company introduced a new gasoline, Getty Nolent.

1853
01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:06,960
The kind of gasoline most 1971 to 1974 cars can run on, and most 1975 cars have to run on.

1854
01:57:06,960 --> 01:57:13,960
Like most oil companies, we at Getty expected our Nolent to account for only 5 to 10 percent of our sales.

1855
01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:15,960
But we had a surprise.

1856
01:57:15,960 --> 01:57:18,960
We're selling twice as much Getty Nolent as we thought.

1857
01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:23,960
Maybe it's because Getty Nolent is a little bit better than a Nolent has to be.

1858
01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:29,960
So it gave people the kind of performance they wanted, and they gave us their business.

1859
01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:32,960
Remember, don't waste gasoline.

1860
01:57:32,960 --> 01:57:37,960
But when you do drive, fill up with Getty, premium or Nolent.

1861
01:57:37,960 --> 01:57:41,960
Getty, you've got what's best for your car.

1862
01:57:41,960 --> 01:57:48,960
This is Jim Garvey at Madison Square Garden with a score after two periods of play.

1863
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:51,960
The New York Rangers no score and the New York Islanders 3.

1864
01:57:51,960 --> 01:57:55,960
Yes, that's right. It's the New York Islanders 3 and the Rangers no score,

1865
01:57:55,960 --> 01:57:59,960
and what has to be considered quite an upset in the making here at the Garden tonight.

1866
01:57:59,960 --> 01:58:04,960
Certainly a pleasure for me to welcome to our Islander Highlights program here.

1867
01:58:04,960 --> 01:58:08,960
An old friend, a fellow who is probably better known to a lot of our listeners out there,

1868
01:58:08,960 --> 01:58:12,960
is the voice of the New York Yankees, the scooter, Phil Rizzuto. And Phil, welcome.

1869
01:58:12,960 --> 01:58:16,960
Jim, thank you very much. And this is one of the most exciting games I believe I've seen.

1870
01:58:16,960 --> 01:58:20,960
Of course, they're all exciting when they're fighting to get in the final to the Stanley Cup,

1871
01:58:20,960 --> 01:58:26,960
but what impresses me is the fact that the Islanders are outplaying the Rangers so much

1872
01:58:26,960 --> 01:58:29,960
that it looks like the Islanders have more men on the ice.

1873
01:58:29,960 --> 01:58:34,960
Well, Phil, it certainly does. And I think you made a very perceptive comment as an athlete would

1874
01:58:34,960 --> 01:58:38,960
while we were off the air here. And I think I'd like to ask you again

1875
01:58:38,960 --> 01:58:41,960
what you think is making a difference in this skating ability.

1876
01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:42,960
And I think I'll let you tell our fans.

1877
01:58:42,960 --> 01:58:48,960
Well, Jim, it looks to me like the Rangers don't have the youth that the Islanders have,

1878
01:58:48,960 --> 01:58:52,960
and those young legs have just caught up and passed the Rangers now,

1879
01:58:52,960 --> 01:58:54,960
and they're playing so much better hockey.

1880
01:58:54,960 --> 01:59:00,960
It seems like they've had more two-on-ones and three-on-ones than the Rangers have had in the whole ballgame.

1881
01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:05,960
Well, Phil, I couldn't agree with you more. As we finished that second period with the Islanders on the manpower advantage,

1882
01:59:05,960 --> 01:59:10,960
they came in three-on-one again. And except for some sparkling work by Giacomon in the Ranger cage,

1883
01:59:10,960 --> 01:59:12,960
it could be 4-0 right now.

1884
01:59:12,960 --> 01:59:17,960
It certainly could. You know, it was interesting, Jim, because you were telling me about Billy Smith and Nets,

1885
01:59:17,960 --> 01:59:21,960
and I've only seen the Islanders two other times in person, never against the Rangers.

1886
01:59:21,960 --> 01:59:23,960
I've seen them on TV a lot.

1887
01:59:23,960 --> 01:59:30,960
But it seems like, as you mentioned, if Billy Smith stops the first few hard shots at him, he's tough,

1888
01:59:30,960 --> 01:59:32,960
and I don't see how they can get one by him.

1889
01:59:32,960 --> 01:59:35,960
And it almost looks like he's got a magnet in his whole body to attract that puck.

1890
01:59:35,960 --> 01:59:40,960
Boy, it sure does. You know, Phil, earlier in the season, right here in this very building,

1891
01:59:40,960 --> 01:59:45,960
Billy Smith was victimized by three early goals in the first 0-4 minutes of a hockey game with the Rangers.

1892
01:59:45,960 --> 01:59:49,960
They came out from the blue line. They were scored by Jil Marat, Beverly, you know,

1893
01:59:49,960 --> 01:59:52,960
fellows who don't usually score. They were long drives.

1894
01:59:52,960 --> 01:59:55,960
And I think Billy was a little shell-shocked for about two weeks,

1895
01:59:55,960 --> 01:59:58,960
and Coach Al Arbor really didn't use him in this building again.

1896
01:59:58,960 --> 02:00:02,960
Glenn Resch was playing all the Ranger games, in fact, doing pretty well until last night.

1897
02:00:02,960 --> 02:00:08,960
And this was quite a startling revelation to a lot of the hockey people here who really expected Resch to be in the cage.

1898
02:00:08,960 --> 02:00:11,960
Al Arbor went out on a limb, but gee, Al Arbor's been doing that all year,

1899
02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:17,960
and that's why he's the NHL Coach of the Year, and in my book, he's the coach of the lifetime for the Islanders,

1900
02:00:17,960 --> 02:00:23,960
because he came right back in here with Billy Smith, and as you call it, Billy looks like he's unbeatable here tonight.

1901
02:00:23,960 --> 02:00:25,960
Well, you know, you've got to give Arbor a lot of credit.

1902
02:00:25,960 --> 02:00:32,960
There are a lot of coaches, and I know, that have cracked under the strain a lot less than Al is going through,

1903
02:00:32,960 --> 02:00:35,960
but he must be instilling a lot of confidence in this club.

1904
02:00:35,960 --> 02:00:43,960
The Potvin brothers, John and Dennis, of course Dennis has two goals tonight, one on a deflection on a shot by his brother,

1905
02:00:43,960 --> 02:00:48,960
but he's such a tough kid, and such an outstanding player to be that young,

1906
02:00:48,960 --> 02:00:56,960
that I think I heard a couple interviews with the Islanders after they beat the Rangers in that first game,

1907
02:00:56,960 --> 02:01:01,960
said that in prior games they had played against the Rangers, they were so in awe of the Rangers,

1908
02:01:01,960 --> 02:01:06,960
you know, they had read about them, and here they were playing against them, but after that first game,

1909
02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:11,960
they kind of got their feet wet, it's just like a ball player in a World Series, you're nervous until the game starts,

1910
02:01:11,960 --> 02:01:16,960
and now they're playing them, well, better than even up, and I'm sure the Islander fans are very happy.

1911
02:01:16,960 --> 02:01:20,960
Well, Philly, and all the way the schedule maker came through this season,

1912
02:01:20,960 --> 02:01:24,960
the Islanders and Rangers met twice during the last week of the regular season,

1913
02:01:24,960 --> 02:01:29,960
both of those were big games as the two clubs finished with identical point totals of 88.

1914
02:01:29,960 --> 02:01:35,960
Many folks felt that this was a fluke, the Rangers were given the odd game in the Garden because of more wins,

1915
02:01:35,960 --> 02:01:40,960
and the Rangers had never been defeated by the Islanders in Madison Square Garden

1916
02:01:40,960 --> 02:01:43,960
in the three years of existence that these two teams have played games,

1917
02:01:43,960 --> 02:01:48,960
so that last game, while it really didn't matter too much in the final overall standing,

1918
02:01:48,960 --> 02:01:53,960
I think psychologically gave this Islander club a big lift when they knew they could beat this club in this building.

1919
02:01:53,960 --> 02:02:00,960
That's got a lot to do with getting confidence, just playing that game and knowing what they can do and what their potential is,

1920
02:02:00,960 --> 02:02:03,960
and as soon as they loosen up, they're playing excellent hockey.

1921
02:02:03,960 --> 02:02:12,960
I'd like to see, you know, I can't figure out, you and Dom were trying to tell me who will play who if the Islanders do win this game,

1922
02:02:12,960 --> 02:02:15,960
but I guess to the Islanders it doesn't matter too much,

1923
02:02:15,960 --> 02:02:21,960
except that if they do have to go against my crew, it'll be a lot tougher than going against some of the other clubs.

1924
02:02:21,960 --> 02:02:27,960
Right, and I'm sure Phil, the same confusion that you had and I had is certainly going through the minds of our listeners out there,

1925
02:02:27,960 --> 02:02:29,960
and I'll try to bring you up to date here very briefly.

1926
02:02:29,960 --> 02:02:33,960
If the Islanders are successful in holding this lead here tonight,

1927
02:02:33,960 --> 02:02:39,960
who they play will be contingent upon the game between the L.A. Kings and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

1928
02:02:39,960 --> 02:02:45,960
The Chicago Blackhawks, the late Tuners in, have already defeated the Boston Bruins up in Boston by a 6-4 count,

1929
02:02:45,960 --> 02:02:51,960
so if the L.A. Kings defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs, it'll be the Islanders in Montreal.

1930
02:02:51,960 --> 02:02:55,960
If on the other hand the Toronto Maple Leafs are successful up there,

1931
02:02:55,960 --> 02:02:59,960
it will be the Islanders in Pittsburgh, certainly a better draw for the Islanders,

1932
02:02:59,960 --> 02:03:05,960
so I'm sure Islander fans in addition to rooting for their own clubs are rooting for the Maple Leafs out on the coast.

1933
02:03:05,960 --> 02:03:08,960
Well, I'm sure they are because it means an awful lot,

1934
02:03:08,960 --> 02:03:12,960
because if they can get by Pittsburgh, then that means they would be in the finals of the Stanley Cup?

1935
02:03:12,960 --> 02:03:14,960
Well, that's about it, Phil. Wouldn't that be something?

1936
02:03:14,960 --> 02:03:19,960
Oh, that'd be unbelievable, and New York deserves one team in the finals this year.

1937
02:03:19,960 --> 02:03:23,960
Of course, they've got the Nets over there who always seem to do well.

1938
02:03:23,960 --> 02:03:27,960
The Knicks are struggling very badly, and the Yankees and the Nets,

1939
02:03:27,960 --> 02:03:29,960
it's too long a season to tell what's going to happen,

1940
02:03:29,960 --> 02:03:35,960
but it's been too long outside of the Nets for a New York team not to win some kind of a championship.

1941
02:03:35,960 --> 02:03:43,960
Well, Phil, you know, you certainly have the shortstop and a great Yankee club that probably was the club I idolized most when I grew up.

1942
02:03:43,960 --> 02:03:48,960
I know a great deal about that, and we are certainly happy to have you and the Yankees on WMCA,

1943
02:03:48,960 --> 02:03:52,960
and you know, you're one of us now. Let's talk a little baseball if we would for a couple of minutes.

1944
02:03:52,960 --> 02:03:57,960
The Catfish went today, and from what you were telling me, except for a couple of bad pitches, he pitched a pretty creditable game.

1945
02:03:57,960 --> 02:04:02,960
He did. At one point he retired 13 men in a row, but as I said, he made two bad pitches,

1946
02:04:02,960 --> 02:04:05,960
one of them to Willie Horton in the first inning with a man on that.

1947
02:04:05,960 --> 02:04:11,960
Willie hit out in the Flushing Bay, and then in the sixth inning, he walked his first man of the ballgame.

1948
02:04:11,960 --> 02:04:14,960
That always is trouble for a good control pitcher.

1949
02:04:14,960 --> 02:04:19,960
Another man got on on a base hit, and then he groove one, just got it up a little too high to Nate Colbert,

1950
02:04:19,960 --> 02:04:28,960
who the Tigers got from San Diego, and he hit it out in the bullpen in left field, and five runs, all of them on home is, were just enough.

1951
02:04:28,960 --> 02:04:32,960
And then Mickey Lowlis, who had been struggling, had the bases loaded, nobody out.

1952
02:04:32,960 --> 02:04:37,960
They brought in John Hiller, pitched a Bobby Bonds, bases loaded, and nobody out.

1953
02:04:37,960 --> 02:04:41,960
We didn't score. He struck Bonds out, and Bob Oliver hit into a double play.

1954
02:04:41,960 --> 02:04:45,960
Well, Hiller's one of the best coming out of the bullpen, and it's obvious that he's in midseason form,

1955
02:04:45,960 --> 02:04:48,960
but, Bill, you know, it's early in the season, and, you know, you pick up the newspapers,

1956
02:04:48,960 --> 02:04:52,960
and you see the Yankees have dropped their first two games, and people are wondering what's wrong with the Yankees.

1957
02:04:52,960 --> 02:04:57,960
I know they've had some nagging injuries. I've been reading that Elliott Maddox, Roy White, have had some injuries.

1958
02:04:57,960 --> 02:05:01,960
And I know gripping that bat in the cold weather can't help when you have some injuries.

1959
02:05:01,960 --> 02:05:03,960
No, absolutely not. But I've said it's something.

1960
02:05:03,960 --> 02:05:10,960
Jim, you and Dom, after doing a game here, if you had to do a baseball game, it'd be like a picnic.

1961
02:05:10,960 --> 02:05:16,960
I have always contended, and I've never gotten an argument, that you get more for your money

1962
02:05:16,960 --> 02:05:22,960
watching a hockey game than any other sport. It's the fastest game I know, with continuous action all the time.

1963
02:05:22,960 --> 02:05:26,960
And I don't think there's any better place to be if you want excitement than at a hockey game.

1964
02:05:26,960 --> 02:05:31,960
Well, coming from Phil Rizzuto, who's certainly an accomplished golfer, a great baseball player,

1965
02:05:31,960 --> 02:05:37,960
and an avid sportsman in every sport, football, basketball, and the like, I think that's a great compliment to hockey.

1966
02:05:37,960 --> 02:05:41,960
And Phil, I've been involved in all of those myself a little bit, and I couldn't agree with you more.

1967
02:05:41,960 --> 02:05:45,960
It's my first year here with the Islanders, and it's been one of the most pleasant years I've ever had,

1968
02:05:45,960 --> 02:05:50,960
I think, coming to the games, getting to know these young players and the coaches and the fans, I think, have made it great.

1969
02:05:50,960 --> 02:05:53,960
But the game of hockey is just, here you have a game, it's 3-0.

1970
02:05:53,960 --> 02:05:59,960
In some other sports, you know, you take a big lead into the closing moments, and it's everybody's out for air, you know.

1971
02:05:59,960 --> 02:06:03,960
And this one, I expect to see the Rangers come out flying, because there's no tomorrow.

1972
02:06:03,960 --> 02:06:06,960
That's true, and of course it's nice to be on a winter too, Jim.

1973
02:06:06,960 --> 02:06:13,960
It makes the games you're doing so much more exciting, and the fans appreciate it so much more.

1974
02:06:13,960 --> 02:06:21,960
And you know, it's interesting, I was listening to you and Dom last night, and it wasn't that good a game because of so many fights.

1975
02:06:21,960 --> 02:06:28,960
But I tell you, you really got excited during those fights, and it was very funny and interesting listening to you describe the fights.

1976
02:06:28,960 --> 02:06:33,960
Oh, there it comes, and look at this. I was wishing I could see it on TV. We don't happen to have cable.

1977
02:06:33,960 --> 02:06:36,960
So I was listening to you and Dom, and it was exciting.

1978
02:06:36,960 --> 02:06:44,960
But tonight, I think it's got to be one of the best played hockey games that people in New York have had the privilege to watch.

1979
02:06:44,960 --> 02:06:51,960
Well, Phil, you know, after the game I met Frank Inavari, who was the Chief of Officials, and we had an animated discussion downstairs.

1980
02:06:51,960 --> 02:06:57,960
And Dom told me, he said, if Phil Rizzuto were here, your rating would be at least 126 Holy Cows.

1981
02:06:57,960 --> 02:07:01,960
Well, there's no doubt about it. Yeah, I say hockey is so exciting.

1982
02:07:01,960 --> 02:07:08,960
I mean, it's so interesting that there's continuous play, and you've got to be right on the ball all the time.

1983
02:07:08,960 --> 02:07:17,960
I'm amazed at the way Dom is able to handle it. I don't know whether you do any play-by-play, Jim, but I know you do the color very well and handle it very well.

1984
02:07:17,960 --> 02:07:25,960
But the play-by-play is so fast moving, and with the lines changing and everything, I mean, you've really got to be on the ball to keep track of all the players in the game.

1985
02:07:25,960 --> 02:07:32,960
Well, I think the Islanders have a find in Dom Valentino. He's not here to hear you and I, but after working with Dom for a whole season, Phil, he's a pro.

1986
02:07:32,960 --> 02:07:38,960
And in addition to that, I think he engenders in the game. He has a real interest in the game and in the club, and I think that's important.

1987
02:07:38,960 --> 02:07:46,960
He just doesn't come out here to kind of give a superficial effort to it. He's into every game. He does his homework before the games, and he's a real pro.

1988
02:07:46,960 --> 02:07:52,960
Well, he's doing the same thing in baseball with the Yankees, and I know he does it with the Nets, too, because I've heard him and been with him many times.

1989
02:07:52,960 --> 02:07:57,960
I think it's just great to have Dom with the Yankees, and of course, the Islander fans, I'm sure, are very happy.

1990
02:07:57,960 --> 02:08:05,960
Well, Phil, I'd like to wish you and the New York Yankees the best of luck, and I know that come October, we'll be bringing another championship home, an American League pennant.

1991
02:08:05,960 --> 02:08:12,960
And we'd like to present you with a $25 gift certificate from Getty, the company that has just introduced Getty No-Led Gasoline.

1992
02:08:12,960 --> 02:08:19,960
When you use Getty No-Led in your newer late-model automobile, the emission control system should stay cleaner, and that means your gas mileage should improve.

1993
02:08:19,960 --> 02:08:26,960
Getty No-Led, Getty's newest way of giving you more for your money. Phil, we'll get together on the link sometime. Good luck this season, and it's been a pleasure.

1994
02:08:26,960 --> 02:08:27,960
Thank you, Jim, very much.

1995
02:08:27,960 --> 02:08:31,960
Third period action is next on New York Islander hockey. We'll be back in a moment.

1996
02:08:31,960 --> 02:08:36,960
Have you heard about the unbelievable new car for 1975? It's the Pacer from AMC.

1997
02:08:36,960 --> 02:08:40,960
Hi, this is Don Valentino, and when I say unbelievable, here's what I mean.

1998
02:08:40,960 --> 02:08:49,960
Imagine a car that's wider than a Chevelle, smaller than a Vega, has more interior room, then cars a lot larger, looks a little like a second cousin to a porch,

1999
02:08:49,960 --> 02:08:55,960
and has features that make it the most unusual car on the road today. Now you're just beginning to find out about the Pacer.

2000
02:08:55,960 --> 02:09:01,960
And when you go to Manhattan, American, they'll show you how you can get a deal on this great car from AMC,

2001
02:09:01,960 --> 02:09:07,960
how you can be dollars ahead of the game and get a car that delivers economy without sacrificing performance.

2002
02:09:07,960 --> 02:09:12,960
Go on in and see the Pacer, test-drive the Pacer, and talk to Manhattan, American about dollars.

2003
02:09:12,960 --> 02:09:15,960
If it's something extra you want in the way of a car, it's the Pacer.

2004
02:09:15,960 --> 02:09:20,960
For something extra in the way you'll save money and be treated, it's Manhattan, American Motors.

2005
02:09:20,960 --> 02:09:29,960
Mail call. Oh, there's lots of mail today, honey. Your magazine, my magazine, your bank statement, my bank talk statement.

2006
02:09:29,960 --> 02:09:32,960
Still only paying $2.50 a month at European American?

2007
02:09:32,960 --> 02:09:33,960
No.

2008
02:09:33,960 --> 02:09:34,960
I knew it.

2009
02:09:34,960 --> 02:09:36,960
Now I pay only $1.50.

2010
02:09:36,960 --> 02:09:37,960
Yes, then you must be getting less.

2011
02:09:37,960 --> 02:09:42,960
No, I still get unlimited checking, free personalized checks, a free safe deposit box, and lots more.

2012
02:09:42,960 --> 02:09:45,960
Why, I even qualified for preferred long rates.

2013
02:09:45,960 --> 02:09:49,960
All that for just $1.50? That's less than I pay for checks alone.

2014
02:09:49,960 --> 02:09:53,960
It's new. I just keep our thousand dollars in a European American savings account.

2015
02:09:53,960 --> 02:09:56,960
Our savings earn the highest interest of all hours.

2016
02:09:56,960 --> 02:09:58,960
And you get bank pack for just $1.50 a month?

2017
02:09:58,960 --> 02:10:07,960
Uh-huh. And if we kept as little as $500 in a European American savings account, I'd pay just $2 a month for bank pack and still get interest on our savings.

2018
02:10:07,960 --> 02:10:11,960
Bank pack, less than $2.50 a month. Hey, maybe I should switch.

2019
02:10:11,960 --> 02:10:14,960
Okay. You could.

2020
02:10:14,960 --> 02:10:30,960
We've made a commitment to bring you better banking.

2021
02:10:30,960 --> 02:10:36,960
The islanders leading three to nothing. We're ready to go now with the start of the third period.

2022
02:10:36,960 --> 02:10:46,960
The islanders have a man advantage for one minute, 34 seconds at the start of the period.

2023
02:10:46,960 --> 02:10:52,960
Billy Smith on the 8th Avenue side of Madison Square Garden.

2024
02:10:52,960 --> 02:10:57,960
And on the 7th Avenue side is Eddie Jackaman.

2025
02:10:57,960 --> 02:11:00,960
And the door is sprung open.

2026
02:11:00,960 --> 02:11:05,960
Now words are being exchanged, and we're going to do this again.

2027
02:11:05,960 --> 02:11:11,960
Eddie Westball skates off.

2028
02:11:11,960 --> 02:11:14,960
All right. Islanders trying to hang on now.

2029
02:11:14,960 --> 02:11:19,960
They lead at three nothing. The game is not over.

2030
02:11:19,960 --> 02:11:23,960
It's been a battle here at Madison Square Garden.

2031
02:11:23,960 --> 02:11:27,960
The draw goes to Jerry Heidt. Heidt's got it in the back of his own net.

2032
02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:31,960
All right. Now bringing it out. Up on the left wing it goes to Bourne. Bourne to Gillies.

2033
02:11:31,960 --> 02:11:33,960
Gillies shoots it in the Rangers end.

2034
02:11:33,960 --> 02:11:38,960
Jackaman knocks it away from Bob Bourne. Fairburn after the puck and he clears.

2035
02:11:38,960 --> 02:11:41,960
The puck goes around the boards and back of the islanders net.

2036
02:11:41,960 --> 02:11:45,960
Out in is Billy Smith. Smith now leasing him back for Dennis Potman.

2037
02:11:45,960 --> 02:11:50,960
Dennis has been great tonight. Two goals. Short-handed and a power play goal.

2038
02:11:50,960 --> 02:11:53,960
To Bob Bourne to Dennis. Dennis Potman down the middle.

2039
02:11:53,960 --> 02:11:57,960
Right wing, Bourne. Bourne right around Kachuk. Bourne centering pass.

2040
02:11:57,960 --> 02:12:00,960
And Kachuk is there to cut it off.

2041
02:12:00,960 --> 02:12:03,960
On the right wing it goes to Fairburn and Harris.

2042
02:12:03,960 --> 02:12:06,960
Nice to tie him up. And he does.

2043
02:12:06,960 --> 02:12:09,960
Billy Harris has a puck at his own line. Billy Wheeling.

2044
02:12:09,960 --> 02:12:12,960
Harris coming right back. Harris is dumped.

2045
02:12:12,960 --> 02:12:15,960
And the puck goes to Jackaman. Jackaman knocks it away.

2046
02:12:15,960 --> 02:12:18,960
Walt Kachuk has it. Walt Kachuk with it. Bringing it out.

2047
02:12:18,960 --> 02:12:21,960
Thirty seconds on the penalty. Kachuk with a puck.

2048
02:12:21,960 --> 02:12:24,960
Kachuk sends it back to Brad Park at his own line.

2049
02:12:24,960 --> 02:12:29,960
Twenty-five seconds on the penalty. To Gillies. Marat. Marat with it now.

2050
02:12:29,960 --> 02:12:32,960
Cross-ice to Park. Right back to Marat.

2051
02:12:32,960 --> 02:12:37,960
Hard drive. Pickup save by Billy Smith who goes sprawling on the ice.

2052
02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:40,960
Leaves it in back of the net. Ten seconds on the penalty.

2053
02:12:40,960 --> 02:12:43,960
Gary Hart with it. Gary now Wheeling. Sanderson after him.

2054
02:12:43,960 --> 02:12:46,960
Up on the left wing to Howard. Right back to Saint Laurent.

2055
02:12:46,960 --> 02:12:49,960
Andre with two seconds on the penalty.

2056
02:12:49,960 --> 02:12:52,960
Andre has it knocked off his stick. And Greschner's got the puck.

2057
02:12:52,960 --> 02:12:56,960
Beverly on the ice. Penalty now on the islanders.

2058
02:12:56,960 --> 02:13:01,960
For tripping. And the official time on the penalty now

2059
02:13:01,960 --> 02:13:06,960
is going to be one thirty-nine of the period.

2060
02:13:06,960 --> 02:13:10,960
And let's get the official call and these are going to hurt.

2061
02:13:10,960 --> 02:13:14,960
You just can't keep killing penalties all night. It's on Gary Howard.

2062
02:13:14,960 --> 02:13:17,960
Let's pause fifteen seconds for station identification.

2063
02:13:17,960 --> 02:13:20,960
The islanders lead three-nothing. This is New York Islanders hockey.

2064
02:13:20,960 --> 02:13:27,960
WMCA New York. This is Bob Grant hoping you'll join me at my new time.

2065
02:13:27,960 --> 02:13:31,960
Every day from three to seven.

2066
02:13:37,960 --> 02:13:40,960
Ready now for the draw outside the islanders line.

2067
02:13:40,960 --> 02:13:43,960
The Rangers again now with a power play.

2068
02:13:43,960 --> 02:13:48,960
Gary Howard two minutes for tripping at one thirty-nine.

2069
02:13:48,960 --> 02:13:52,960
John Rattall and Eddie Westfall.

2070
02:13:52,960 --> 02:13:56,960
The puck is taken by Brad Park. Park in his own zone.

2071
02:13:56,960 --> 02:13:59,960
Goes cross-ice a bouncing puck to Jill Baer.

2072
02:13:59,960 --> 02:14:02,960
Jill Baer now starts back for the Rangers to Park.

2073
02:14:02,960 --> 02:14:06,960
Park loses it. Back on it is Vickers for the Rangers.

2074
02:14:06,960 --> 02:14:09,960
Vickers with it. To Rattall ahead of him.

2075
02:14:09,960 --> 02:14:11,960
Burt Marshall trying to get it out.

2076
02:14:11,960 --> 02:14:14,960
And it is kept in by Brad Park through Jill Baer.

2077
02:14:14,960 --> 02:14:17,960
Jill Baer right back to Park. Left.

2078
02:14:17,960 --> 02:14:20,960
Left point shot. Saved by Billy Smith.

2079
02:14:20,960 --> 02:14:22,960
Beautiful glove saved by Billy.

2080
02:14:22,960 --> 02:14:25,960
And we're down to one thirty-two to go on the penalty.

2081
02:14:25,960 --> 02:14:27,960
To Gary Howard.

2082
02:14:27,960 --> 02:14:31,960
The Rangers go on the power play. The guy you've got to look at is Steve Vickers.

2083
02:14:31,960 --> 02:14:33,960
Steve over forty goals this season.

2084
02:14:33,960 --> 02:14:35,960
Getting himself set up again in the left corner.

2085
02:14:35,960 --> 02:14:36,960
Middleton on the right corner.

2086
02:14:36,960 --> 02:14:39,960
So the Rangers have a lot of firepower out there this time.

2087
02:14:39,960 --> 02:14:41,960
Ready now for the face off.

2088
02:14:41,960 --> 02:14:42,960
It's in back of the net.

2089
02:14:42,960 --> 02:14:45,960
Burt Marshall slams it around the boards and clears.

2090
02:14:45,960 --> 02:14:48,960
Puck into the Rangers end.

2091
02:14:48,960 --> 02:14:50,960
Stopped by Jacobin in back of the net.

2092
02:14:50,960 --> 02:14:52,960
He leads it for Jill Baer.

2093
02:14:52,960 --> 02:14:53,960
Jill Baer now coming out.

2094
02:14:53,960 --> 02:14:55,960
Jill Baer flying to Rattall.

2095
02:14:55,960 --> 02:14:58,960
Knocks away. Puck loose.

2096
02:14:58,960 --> 02:15:01,960
And it is taken by Lewis who sends it back in the Rangers end.

2097
02:15:01,960 --> 02:15:03,960
It bounces to Jacobin.

2098
02:15:03,960 --> 02:15:05,960
Up on the right wing to Jill Baer.

2099
02:15:05,960 --> 02:15:06,960
Jill Baer with it.

2100
02:15:06,960 --> 02:15:07,960
Jill Baer up the middle.

2101
02:15:07,960 --> 02:15:09,960
Center right. Right wing. Middleton.

2102
02:15:09,960 --> 02:15:11,960
Middleton trying to split the defense.

2103
02:15:11,960 --> 02:15:14,960
Down the middle the shot. Saved by Smith.

2104
02:15:14,960 --> 02:15:16,960
Back to the left point.

2105
02:15:16,960 --> 02:15:17,960
Brad Park.

2106
02:15:17,960 --> 02:15:18,960
Park with a puck.

2107
02:15:18,960 --> 02:15:19,960
Left wing Vickers.

2108
02:15:19,960 --> 02:15:20,960
Vickers out front.

2109
02:15:20,960 --> 02:15:22,960
Knocked away by Smith.

2110
02:15:22,960 --> 02:15:24,960
Shot up over the net by Park.

2111
02:15:24,960 --> 02:15:25,960
It's at the right point.

2112
02:15:25,960 --> 02:15:26,960
Jill Baer.

2113
02:15:26,960 --> 02:15:27,960
Jill Baer with it.

2114
02:15:27,960 --> 02:15:29,960
To Brad Park at the left point.

2115
02:15:29,960 --> 02:15:30,960
Park with a puck.

2116
02:15:30,960 --> 02:15:32,960
To Middleton to the corner right of Billy Smith.

2117
02:15:32,960 --> 02:15:33,960
Out front.

2118
02:15:33,960 --> 02:15:35,960
Deflected away by Smith.

2119
02:15:35,960 --> 02:15:36,960
Jill Baer's got it.

2120
02:15:36,960 --> 02:15:39,960
And the shot is glove by Billy Smith.

2121
02:15:39,960 --> 02:15:42,960
32 seconds to go on the penalty.

2122
02:15:42,960 --> 02:15:44,960
To Gary Howell.

2123
02:15:44,960 --> 02:15:46,960
Islanders lead 3-0.

2124
02:15:46,960 --> 02:15:49,960
Well as Phil Rizzuto said during the second intermission.

2125
02:15:49,960 --> 02:15:52,960
Billy Smith just been like a magnet there in the Rangers.

2126
02:15:52,960 --> 02:15:53,960
In the island the goal.

2127
02:15:53,960 --> 02:15:56,960
Every Ranger shot just seems to be targeted at Billy.

2128
02:15:56,960 --> 02:15:57,960
He's used his body well.

2129
02:15:57,960 --> 02:15:59,960
He's used his glove well and his stick well.

2130
02:15:59,960 --> 02:16:02,960
And there are 32 seconds left in the penalty.

2131
02:16:02,960 --> 02:16:03,960
On the draw.

2132
02:16:03,960 --> 02:16:05,960
Huck is deflected around.

2133
02:16:05,960 --> 02:16:06,960
Dennis Potman with it.

2134
02:16:06,960 --> 02:16:08,960
Dennis cleared.

2135
02:16:08,960 --> 02:16:10,960
And it goes the full length of the ice.

2136
02:16:10,960 --> 02:16:12,960
Down to 20 seconds on the penalty.

2137
02:16:12,960 --> 02:16:13,960
To Gary Howell.

2138
02:16:13,960 --> 02:16:15,960
The Islanders short handed.

2139
02:16:15,960 --> 02:16:16,960
They lead 3-0.

2140
02:16:16,960 --> 02:16:18,960
16 and a half minutes to play in the game.

2141
02:16:18,960 --> 02:16:21,960
Rattell at the Islander line loses to Dennis Potman.

2142
02:16:21,960 --> 02:16:24,960
His pass for Eddie Westphal goes into the Rangers end.

2143
02:16:24,960 --> 02:16:27,960
5 seconds on the penalty now to Howell.

2144
02:16:27,960 --> 02:16:28,960
Cross ice to Jill Baer.

2145
02:16:28,960 --> 02:16:29,960
Jill Baer with it.

2146
02:16:29,960 --> 02:16:30,960
2 seconds.

2147
02:16:30,960 --> 02:16:31,960
He comes out.

2148
02:16:31,960 --> 02:16:32,960
1.

2149
02:16:32,960 --> 02:16:33,960
Howell on the ice.

2150
02:16:33,960 --> 02:16:34,960
Both teams at full strength.

2151
02:16:34,960 --> 02:16:37,960
And an offside on Kachuk coming down the middle.

2152
02:16:37,960 --> 02:16:38,960
There's a break in the action.

2153
02:16:38,960 --> 02:16:39,960
The Islanders lead 3-0.

2154
02:16:39,960 --> 02:16:40,960
We'll be back in a moment.

2155
02:16:40,960 --> 02:16:45,960
Ever wonder what makes Schaeffer the one beer to have when you're having more than one?

2156
02:16:45,960 --> 02:16:48,960
One reason is more than one fermentation.

2157
02:16:48,960 --> 02:16:50,960
Most brewers just ferment their beer once.

2158
02:16:50,960 --> 02:16:52,960
But Schaeffer is fermented twice.

2159
02:16:52,960 --> 02:16:53,960
Once to make it beer.

2160
02:16:53,960 --> 02:16:55,960
And twice to make it Schaeffer.

2161
02:16:55,960 --> 02:17:00,960
The one beer with flavor so fine it keeps shining through glass after frosty glass.

2162
02:17:00,960 --> 02:17:03,960
More than one fermentation is one reason.

2163
02:17:03,960 --> 02:17:08,960
But of course there's more than one reason behind the one beer to have when you're having more than one.

2164
02:17:08,960 --> 02:17:13,960
The faceoff and Dennis Potman gets it into the Rangers' end.

2165
02:17:13,960 --> 02:17:15,960
On the puck now, Jill Barrett.

2166
02:17:15,960 --> 02:17:17,960
Both teams are at full strength.

2167
02:17:17,960 --> 02:17:20,960
We've got 16 minutes to play in the game.

2168
02:17:20,960 --> 02:17:23,960
Or in the third period we should say.

2169
02:17:23,960 --> 02:17:26,960
Sudden death if it's tied up.

2170
02:17:26,960 --> 02:17:28,960
Bob Bourne driven to the board.

2171
02:17:28,960 --> 02:17:29,960
Gillies has the puck.

2172
02:17:29,960 --> 02:17:30,960
He loses.

2173
02:17:30,960 --> 02:17:32,960
And it's taken by Greshner.

2174
02:17:32,960 --> 02:17:33,960
Greshner coming back.

2175
02:17:33,960 --> 02:17:35,960
Greshner across the line, right wing.

2176
02:17:35,960 --> 02:17:37,960
Hart rides him off.

2177
02:17:37,960 --> 02:17:38,960
Into the board.

2178
02:17:38,960 --> 02:17:41,960
And Dennis Potman fights for that puck.

2179
02:17:41,960 --> 02:17:42,960
Dennis has it.

2180
02:17:42,960 --> 02:17:43,960
Dennis is a strong skater now.

2181
02:17:43,960 --> 02:17:45,960
Starts to come back out.

2182
02:17:45,960 --> 02:17:46,960
Dennis gets it out to center right.

2183
02:17:46,960 --> 02:17:51,960
Billy Harris wanted to get it on the Islanders' side of the red line.

2184
02:17:51,960 --> 02:17:52,960
Then let it go and he couldn't.

2185
02:17:52,960 --> 02:17:53,960
It's in the Rangers' end.

2186
02:17:53,960 --> 02:17:54,960
Kachuk's got it.

2187
02:17:54,960 --> 02:17:56,960
Kachuk with it.

2188
02:17:56,960 --> 02:17:58,960
He leaves the puck for Billy Fairburn.

2189
02:17:58,960 --> 02:17:59,960
Fairburn with it at center right.

2190
02:17:59,960 --> 02:18:01,960
Coming down the middle.

2191
02:18:01,960 --> 02:18:02,960
Trying to split the defense.

2192
02:18:02,960 --> 02:18:03,960
He does.

2193
02:18:03,960 --> 02:18:08,960
Fairburn splits the defense and scores.

2194
02:18:08,960 --> 02:18:10,960
And it's 3-1.

2195
02:18:10,960 --> 02:18:16,960
The official time is 4.44 of the third period.

2196
02:18:16,960 --> 02:18:18,960
Well, great goal by Billy Fairburn.

2197
02:18:18,960 --> 02:18:20,960
Billy doing something to clock in.

2198
02:18:20,960 --> 02:18:24,960
He did here in the Garden in the third period on Tuesday night.

2199
02:18:24,960 --> 02:18:27,960
Just stepping right between the defensemen going in, pulling out Billy Smith,

2200
02:18:27,960 --> 02:18:30,960
peeking him, throwing him to the ice, and sliding the puck around him.

2201
02:18:30,960 --> 02:18:32,960
Great goal by Billy Fairburn.

2202
02:18:32,960 --> 02:18:33,960
His third of the playoffs.

2203
02:18:33,960 --> 02:18:36,960
Billy the all-time Ranger high scorer against the Islanders.

2204
02:18:36,960 --> 02:18:39,960
And we've got a hockey game.

2205
02:18:39,960 --> 02:18:44,960
And of course, Fairburn did what Clark Gillies did here Tuesday night.

2206
02:18:44,960 --> 02:18:46,960
And Clark's goal won it 3-2.

2207
02:18:46,960 --> 02:18:48,960
He split the defense.

2208
02:18:48,960 --> 02:18:53,960
Fairburn now has 10 career goals against the Islanders.

2209
02:18:53,960 --> 02:18:57,960
And this is going to perk up the Rangers, I'm sure.

2210
02:18:57,960 --> 02:19:00,960
As we said, this game is far from over.

2211
02:19:00,960 --> 02:19:03,960
On the draw, Dave Lewis to Bergmarschall.

2212
02:19:03,960 --> 02:19:06,960
Berg with the puck, back to Lewis.

2213
02:19:06,960 --> 02:19:09,960
Tips at it, Joe Baer's got it, Joe Druid takes it away.

2214
02:19:09,960 --> 02:19:12,960
Joe, center-right, fires it in the Rangers' end.

2215
02:19:12,960 --> 02:19:15,960
It rolls him back, Jackman stops it.

2216
02:19:15,960 --> 02:19:16,960
Leaves it for Urban.

2217
02:19:16,960 --> 02:19:18,960
Ted Urban comes out.

2218
02:19:18,960 --> 02:19:21,960
Urban center-right, shoots it wide on the Islanders' net.

2219
02:19:21,960 --> 02:19:24,960
Billy Smith waits for Vickers and clears it away.

2220
02:19:24,960 --> 02:19:26,960
Centering pass taken by Parisi.

2221
02:19:26,960 --> 02:19:28,960
J.P. coming back.

2222
02:19:28,960 --> 02:19:30,960
He's got Park with him.

2223
02:19:30,960 --> 02:19:32,960
J.P., the shot, scores!

2224
02:19:32,960 --> 02:19:34,960
And it's 4-1.

2225
02:19:34,960 --> 02:19:39,960
And now we have a wave off, no goal.

2226
02:19:39,960 --> 02:19:42,960
And it's an offside ball.

2227
02:19:42,960 --> 02:19:43,960
Oh man, that was a close one.

2228
02:19:43,960 --> 02:19:45,960
As J.P. lets go, a flat shot.

2229
02:19:45,960 --> 02:19:50,960
Now the Rangers fans are realizing, only now do they realize that it's no goal.

2230
02:19:50,960 --> 02:19:53,960
The fans now just realizing there's no goal.

2231
02:19:53,960 --> 02:19:56,960
It's offside.

2232
02:19:56,960 --> 02:19:58,960
So it's a 3-1.

2233
02:19:58,960 --> 02:20:02,960
14-42 to play in the third period.

2234
02:20:02,960 --> 02:20:05,960
The draw taken by Nick Beverly in back of his own net.

2235
02:20:05,960 --> 02:20:09,960
And of course these last minutes are going to be furious minutes.

2236
02:20:09,960 --> 02:20:10,960
Beverly coming out.

2237
02:20:10,960 --> 02:20:14,960
Up on the left wing for Vickers, deflected into the Islanders' end.

2238
02:20:14,960 --> 02:20:16,960

2239
02:20:16,960 --> 02:20:18,960
Jude on the left wing, intercepts it.

2240
02:20:18,960 --> 02:20:22,960
Joe Bear, the shot, deflected up in the air, batted by Lewis.

2241
02:20:22,960 --> 02:20:24,960
Lewis off the board.

2242
02:20:24,960 --> 02:20:26,960
Trying to keep it in, he does.

2243
02:20:26,960 --> 02:20:29,960
Taken by Lewis, the center right to Parisi.

2244
02:20:29,960 --> 02:20:32,960
He's across the line, left wing, down the middle.

2245
02:20:32,960 --> 02:20:33,960
His pass deflected.

2246
02:20:33,960 --> 02:20:36,960
Parisi, trying to keep the puck in the zone, he does.

2247
02:20:36,960 --> 02:20:37,960
To Joe Druid.

2248
02:20:37,960 --> 02:20:39,960
Druid is held up.

2249
02:20:39,960 --> 02:20:41,960
He's tied up in the corner.

2250
02:20:41,960 --> 02:20:43,960
And the puck is kept in by Lewis.

2251
02:20:43,960 --> 02:20:48,960
Lewis loses to Vickers, to Joe Bear, down the middle.

2252
02:20:48,960 --> 02:20:49,960
The puck is loose.

2253
02:20:49,960 --> 02:20:50,960
Vickers has it.

2254
02:20:50,960 --> 02:20:53,960
Vickers in the corner, the left of Billy Smith out front.

2255
02:20:53,960 --> 02:20:55,960
Knocked away by Bergmarschel.

2256
02:20:55,960 --> 02:20:57,960
And Joe Bear goes out to him.

2257
02:20:57,960 --> 02:20:59,960
Berg trying to move it around Vickers.

2258
02:20:59,960 --> 02:21:01,960
And he pins Vickers into the board.

2259
02:21:01,960 --> 02:21:08,960
And Joe Druid clears the puck, deflected by Marat into the Rangers' end.

2260

Back comes Greshner and Flyes.

02:21:12,960 --> 02:21:15,960
Greshner center right, coming down the middle.

2263
02:21:15,960 --> 02:21:17,960
Greshner, a little good shot.

2264
02:21:17,960 --> 02:21:19,960
And Jerry Hart knocks Paulus down.

2265
02:21:19,960 --> 02:21:22,960
And Bob Neistrom trying to get it out.

2266
02:21:22,960 --> 02:21:23,960
Jerry Hart after it.

2267
02:21:23,960 --> 02:21:25,960
A battle for that puck.

2268
02:21:25,960 --> 02:21:26,960
Dennis Puckman in.

2269
02:21:26,960 --> 02:21:27,960
Ka-choo!

2270
02:21:27,960 --> 02:21:28,960
Battling with Hart.

2271
02:21:28,960 --> 02:21:29,960
Hart's got it.

2272
02:21:29,960 --> 02:21:31,960
Hart banks it off the board.

2273
02:21:31,960 --> 02:21:33,960
And clears it a full length of the ice.

2274
02:21:33,960 --> 02:21:34,960
It'll be icing on the Islanders.

2275
02:21:34,960 --> 02:21:35,960
There's a break in the action.

2276
02:21:35,960 --> 02:21:36,960

2277
02:21:36,960 --> 02:21:38,960

02:22:27,960 --> 02:22:29,960

Gillies sends it around the board.

2312
02:23:06,960 --> 02:23:08,960
And trying to keep it in, Pollard.

02:23:08,960 --> 02:23:10,960
Dennis Potvan and Pollard go after it.

2314
02:23:10,960 --> 02:23:11,960
Dennis has the puck.

2315
02:23:11,960 --> 02:23:12,960
He's trying to get it out.

2316
02:23:12,960 --> 02:23:14,960

2317
02:23:14,960 --> 02:23:15,960

2318
02:23:15,960 --> 02:23:17,960

2320
02:23:18,960 --> 02:23:20,960

And he rolls it out to center-right.

2323
02:23:23,960 --> 02:23:26,960

2324
02:23:26,960 --> 02:23:27,960

2325
02:23:27,960 --> 02:23:28,960

2327
02:23:30,960 --> 02:23:32,960

2328
02:23:32,960 --> 02:23:35,960

2329
02:23:35,960 --> 02:23:39,960
Bobby Bourne again came very close to making a very dangerous mistake.

2330
02:23:39,960 --> 02:23:42,960
Bobby Bourne tried to pin the puck on the backboard.

2331
02:23:42,960 --> 02:23:43,960
No Ranger was playing him.

2332
02:23:43,960 --> 02:23:46,960
And if Bruce Hood wanted to be very, very technical,

2333
02:23:46,960 --> 02:23:49,960
he could have called Bourne for two minutes for delay of the game.

2334
02:23:49,960 --> 02:23:52,960
Bobby's going to have to sharpen up on that aspect of the game.

2335
02:23:52,960 --> 02:23:54,960
All set now for the draw.

2336
02:23:54,960 --> 02:23:56,960
To the right of Billy Smith and the Islanders' end.

2337
02:23:56,960 --> 02:23:57,960

Ready for the face-off to the right of Billy Smith.

2342
02:24:05,960 --> 02:24:07,960
The Islanders now, right now, are trying to hang on.

2343
02:24:07,960 --> 02:24:09,960
The Rangers are really pressing.

2344
02:24:09,960 --> 02:24:11,960

2345
02:24:11,960 --> 02:24:12,960

2349
02:24:17,960 --> 02:24:19,960

A save by Jackaman.

2353
02:24:22,960 --> 02:24:24,960
And the puck is collected by Sanderson.

2354
02:24:24,960 --> 02:24:26,960
Up on the right wing to Middleton.

2355
02:24:26,960 --> 02:24:28,960

Brad Park fights for it.

2362
02:24:39,960 --> 02:24:40,960
Nice from Gutted.

2363
02:24:40,960 --> 02:24:42,960
Nice from Chicken At It.

2364
02:24:42,960 --> 02:24:43,960

02:24:58,960 --> 02:24:59,960
Gary trying to get it out.

2380
02:24:59,960 --> 02:25:00,960
He can't.

2381
02:25:00,960 --> 02:25:01,960
Brechner knocked down.

2382
02:25:01,960 --> 02:25:04,960
The puck is still in the Islanders' end.

2383
02:25:04,960 --> 02:25:06,960
And finally cleared by Lewis.

2384
02:25:06,960 --> 02:25:09,960
And it'll be icing again on the Islanders.

2385
02:25:09,960 --> 02:25:11,960
Base dog coming up to the left of Billy Smith.

2386
02:25:11,960 --> 02:25:12,960
There's a break in the action.

2387
02:25:12,960 --> 02:25:14,960
Three one Islanders will be back in a moment.

2388
02:25:14,960 --> 02:25:16,960
If you're flying to Miami-Fort Lauderdale,

2389
02:25:16,960 --> 02:25:18,960
you've got to believe Eastern can save you money.

2390
02:25:18,960 --> 02:25:22,960
Eastern has six night coach flights to Miami-Fort Lauderdale.

2391
02:25:22,960 --> 02:25:27,960
More than any other airline that saves you about 20% off the regular day coach airfare.

2392
02:25:27,960 --> 02:25:32,960
And you can fly to Miami-Fort Lauderdale on Eastern 727 Whisper jets

2393
02:25:32,960 --> 02:25:37,960
with spacious redesigned interiors or on the widebody L-1011 Whisper liners.

2394
02:25:37,960 --> 02:25:41,960
For reservation, call the travel specialist, your travel agent,

2395
02:25:41,960 --> 02:25:47,960
or call Eastern the wings of man.

2396
02:25:47,960 --> 02:25:49,960
Ready now for the face-off for the left of Billy Smith.

2397
02:25:49,960 --> 02:25:51,960
The New York Islanders leading three to one.

2398
02:25:51,960 --> 02:25:57,960
They were coasting along, but the goal by Billy Fairburn for the Rangers was a big lift and a big goal.

2399
02:25:57,960 --> 02:25:58,960
Three to one.

2400
02:25:58,960 --> 02:26:00,960
Gary Hart trying to get it out.

2401
02:26:00,960 --> 02:26:02,960
Kept in by Marat.

2402
02:26:02,960 --> 02:26:04,960
Dennis Puttman's got it.

2403
02:26:04,960 --> 02:26:05,960
And he goes down.

2404
02:26:05,960 --> 02:26:07,960
Ratel after the puck.

2405
02:26:07,960 --> 02:26:09,960
Jill Baer digging for it.

2406
02:26:09,960 --> 02:26:12,960
And Dennis ends up on top of the puck.

2407
02:26:12,960 --> 02:26:17,960
Now we're going to have a face-off coming up for the left of Billy Smith at the Islanders end.

2408
02:26:17,960 --> 02:26:20,960
And now Marat goes over to say something to Bruce Hood.

2409
02:26:20,960 --> 02:26:22,960
So does Jill Baer.

2410
02:26:22,960 --> 02:26:25,960
They thought that Dennis moved it in under his body.

2411
02:26:25,960 --> 02:26:29,960
Well, Don, after last night and some of the comments we made about the officiating,

2412
02:26:29,960 --> 02:26:37,960
I spoke to Frank Ibarri today and I want to say right now that the NHL staff here tonight, Armstrong, Stampanello, and Bruce Hood are doing a great job.

2413
02:26:37,960 --> 02:26:38,960
Excellent.

2414
02:26:38,960 --> 02:26:40,960
They really have control of the game.

2415
02:26:40,960 --> 02:26:42,960
On the draw, Gary Hart with it.

2416
02:26:42,960 --> 02:26:44,960
Gary trying to come out.

2417
02:26:44,960 --> 02:26:46,960
And he gets it out through center-right.

2418
02:26:46,960 --> 02:26:47,960
Eddie Westpaw is on it.

2419
02:26:47,960 --> 02:26:49,960
Eddie tees it up the shot wide.

2420
02:26:49,960 --> 02:26:52,960
Parisi can't get a shot out coming out of the left wing.

2421
02:26:52,960 --> 02:26:54,960
Hart sends it in the corner.

2422
02:26:54,960 --> 02:26:55,960
Drew it out to the puck.

2423
02:26:55,960 --> 02:26:57,960
Jill Baer trying to drag him down.

2424
02:26:57,960 --> 02:26:58,960
They both fight for it.

2425
02:26:58,960 --> 02:26:59,960
And the puck is still loose.

2426
02:26:59,960 --> 02:27:01,960
After it is Drew it.

2427
02:27:01,960 --> 02:27:02,960
And in after him is Marat.

2428
02:27:02,960 --> 02:27:04,960
Around the board, Westpaw, centering pass.

2429
02:27:04,960 --> 02:27:05,960
It's loose.

2430
02:27:05,960 --> 02:27:07,960
Brechner's got it for the Rangers.

2431
02:27:07,960 --> 02:27:09,960
He's in the corner of the right of his goaltender.

2432
02:27:09,960 --> 02:27:11,960
Close in back of the net.

2433
02:27:11,960 --> 02:27:12,960
Brechner holds the puck.

2434
02:27:12,960 --> 02:27:15,960
Up on the right wing it goes to Ritell.

2435
02:27:15,960 --> 02:27:16,960
Ritell with it.

2436
02:27:16,960 --> 02:27:18,960
We're into 10 minutes to play in the third period.

2437
02:27:18,960 --> 02:27:19,960
Ritell.

2438
02:27:19,960 --> 02:27:20,960
To Marat.

2439
02:27:20,960 --> 02:27:21,960
Back to Ritell.

2440
02:27:21,960 --> 02:27:22,960
Jerry Hart there.

2441
02:27:22,960 --> 02:27:24,960
Jerry gets it out to center-right.

2442
02:27:24,960 --> 02:27:25,960
It's tipped by Westpaw.

2443
02:27:25,960 --> 02:27:27,960
Into the Rangers end.

2444
02:27:27,960 --> 02:27:29,960
On the puck Marat.

2445
02:27:29,960 --> 02:27:30,960
Marat to Brechner.

2446
02:27:30,960 --> 02:27:32,960
Up ahead it goes to Ritell.

2447
02:27:32,960 --> 02:27:33,960
Ritell to Vickers.

2448
02:27:33,960 --> 02:27:35,960
Vickers out to the puck in the corner.

2449
02:27:35,960 --> 02:27:36,960
Centering pass.

2450
02:27:36,960 --> 02:27:38,960
Brechner shoots up over the net.

2451
02:27:38,960 --> 02:27:40,960
Gilly Smith didn't see it.

2452
02:27:40,960 --> 02:27:42,960
And Ritell centering pass wide.

2453
02:27:42,960 --> 02:27:43,960
Brewin' with it.

2454
02:27:43,960 --> 02:27:45,960
Jude having trouble getting it out.

2455
02:27:45,960 --> 02:27:46,960
Battle for that puck.

2456
02:27:46,960 --> 02:27:48,960
Dicks flying out to center-right.

2457
02:27:48,960 --> 02:27:50,960
And Gillies goes down.

2458
02:27:50,960 --> 02:27:52,960
Brewin' it goes down.

2459
02:27:52,960 --> 02:27:54,960
And the puck is taken to the Rangers line.

2460
02:27:54,960 --> 02:27:56,960
By Marat to Brechner.

2461
02:27:56,960 --> 02:27:57,960
Brechner with it.

2462
02:27:57,960 --> 02:27:58,960
Down the middle he goes.

2463
02:27:58,960 --> 02:27:59,960
To Kachuk.

2464
02:27:59,960 --> 02:28:01,960
Right back to Ted Urban.

2465
02:28:01,960 --> 02:28:02,960
Knocked away.

2466
02:28:02,960 --> 02:28:04,960
The puck kept in by Urban.

2467
02:28:04,960 --> 02:28:05,960
Dennis Plotman around the board.

2468
02:28:05,960 --> 02:28:06,960
Sir Clark Gillies.

2469
02:28:06,960 --> 02:28:08,960
Gillies goes down.

2470
02:28:08,960 --> 02:28:09,960
The puck loosened back.

2471
02:28:09,960 --> 02:28:10,960
Centering pass.

2472
02:28:10,960 --> 02:28:12,960
Mothered by Billy Smith.

2473
02:28:12,960 --> 02:28:14,960
And we've got a faceoff coming up.

2474
02:28:14,960 --> 02:28:15,960
To the left of Billy.

2475
02:28:15,960 --> 02:28:16,960
With 9-0.

2476
02:28:16,960 --> 02:28:17,960
Two to go.

2477
02:28:17,960 --> 02:28:18,960
Third period.

2478
02:28:18,960 --> 02:28:19,960
Three-one islanders.

2479
02:28:19,960 --> 02:28:23,960
Well after the goal by Fairburn, one might have expected the young islanders to panic a little bit.

2480
02:28:23,960 --> 02:28:25,960
But I don't think I've seen any of that.

2481
02:28:25,960 --> 02:28:27,960
I think the islanders have played very well.

2482
02:28:27,960 --> 02:28:32,960
Dennis Plotman-Dum I think is playing the finest defensive game I've ever seen Dennis play with the islanders.

2483
02:28:32,960 --> 02:28:37,960
He has two goals, but we've seen a lot of great offensive hockey from Dennis in his career.

2484
02:28:37,960 --> 02:28:42,960
But I think Jerry Hart and Dennis Plotman are playing as a tandem the best defensive game I've ever seen them play.

2485
02:28:42,960 --> 02:28:45,960
Of course Billy Smith is making them look good in the cage.

2486
02:28:45,960 --> 02:28:47,960
All set to go now with a draw.

2487
02:28:47,960 --> 02:28:49,960
To the left of Billy Smith.

2488
02:28:49,960 --> 02:28:50,960
Nine minutes.

2489
02:28:50,960 --> 02:28:51,960
A long way to go.

2490
02:28:51,960 --> 02:28:55,960
The puck battle for Lewis trying to get it out. Fairburn keeps it in.

2491
02:28:55,960 --> 02:28:57,960
Ted Urban after the puck.

2492
02:28:57,960 --> 02:28:58,960
Urban goes down.

2493
02:28:58,960 --> 02:29:00,960
Urban back on the puck.

2494
02:29:00,960 --> 02:29:02,960
Centering pass blocked by Borg.

2495
02:29:02,960 --> 02:29:03,960
Urban back on it.

2496
02:29:03,960 --> 02:29:06,960
Urban centering pass across the mouth of the goal.

2497
02:29:06,960 --> 02:29:10,960
Beveling to Kachuk the shot blocked by Lewis.

2498
02:29:10,960 --> 02:29:12,960
Kachuk with it.

2499
02:29:12,960 --> 02:29:14,960
Backhander to Fairburn.

2500
02:29:14,960 --> 02:29:15,960
The shot blocked by Lewis.

2501
02:29:15,960 --> 02:29:17,960
Lewis after the puck.

2502
02:29:17,960 --> 02:29:18,960
Fairburn keeps it in.

2503
02:29:18,960 --> 02:29:20,960
The Rangers are really pressing.

2504
02:29:20,960 --> 02:29:22,960
Centering pass across the mouth of the goal.

2505
02:29:22,960 --> 02:29:28,960
And the centering pass by Beverly is deflected by Billy Harris into the Islanders end.

2506
02:29:28,960 --> 02:29:30,960
On the puck Brad Park.

2507
02:29:30,960 --> 02:29:32,960
Park trying to come out of his own end.

2508
02:29:32,960 --> 02:29:33,960
Goes cross-eye.

2509
02:29:33,960 --> 02:29:35,960
Taken by Urban to Kachuk.

2510
02:29:35,960 --> 02:29:36,960
Kachuk with it.

2511
02:29:36,960 --> 02:29:37,960
Back of the right wing.

2512
02:29:37,960 --> 02:29:38,960
Fairburn.

2513
02:29:38,960 --> 02:29:39,960
Fairburn down the middle.

2514
02:29:39,960 --> 02:29:40,960
Urban ridden off.

2515
02:29:40,960 --> 02:29:41,960
Puck is loose.

2516
02:29:41,960 --> 02:29:47,960
And trying to get it out is how it need to center-eye.

2517
02:29:47,960 --> 02:29:50,960
And Billy Harris has a drop pass.

2518
02:29:50,960 --> 02:29:53,960
Don LaRonde shoots the save by Chakaman.

2519
02:29:53,960 --> 02:29:56,960
7.55 to go third period.

2520
02:29:56,960 --> 02:29:58,960
Sanderson with a puck and center-eye.

2521
02:29:58,960 --> 02:30:00,960
He sends it in the Islanders end.

2522
02:30:00,960 --> 02:30:02,960
And Andre Don LaRonde's got it.

2523
02:30:02,960 --> 02:30:04,960
Spanked it off the boys to center-eye.

2524
02:30:04,960 --> 02:30:05,960
Greshner on it.

2525
02:30:05,960 --> 02:30:07,960
Greshner with a puck.

2526
02:30:07,960 --> 02:30:09,960
Greshner to Polis coming down the middle.

2527
02:30:09,960 --> 02:30:10,960
The Middleton.

2528
02:30:10,960 --> 02:30:13,960
It slides in the corner of the right of Billy Smith.

2529
02:30:13,960 --> 02:30:15,960
Polis after it.

2530
02:30:15,960 --> 02:30:17,960
And after it also is Don LaRonde.

2531
02:30:17,960 --> 02:30:18,960
It's loose.

2532
02:30:18,960 --> 02:30:20,960
Digging for it now is Howitt.

2533
02:30:20,960 --> 02:30:21,960
So is Hart.

2534
02:30:21,960 --> 02:30:22,960
And Howitt's got it.

2535
02:30:22,960 --> 02:30:25,960
And he shoots it right to Chakaman on goal.

2536
02:30:25,960 --> 02:30:28,960
So there'll be no icing and Chakaman gets it back out to center-eye.

2537
02:30:28,960 --> 02:30:30,960
And the puck is at center-eye.

2538
02:30:30,960 --> 02:30:32,960
Taken by Middleton down the middle.

2539
02:30:32,960 --> 02:30:35,960
Middleton down he goes.

2540
02:30:35,960 --> 02:30:38,960
Finally on the Islanders.

2541
02:30:38,960 --> 02:30:46,960
So the Rangers will have a man advantage the official time 12.47 of the third period.

2542
02:30:46,960 --> 02:30:47,960
There's a break in the action.

2543
02:30:47,960 --> 02:30:49,960
Three-one Islanders will be back in a moment.

2544
02:30:49,960 --> 02:30:53,960
Just in case you've wondered why, Schaefer is the more than one beer beer.

2545
02:30:53,960 --> 02:30:55,960
Just plain more experience is part of it.

2546
02:30:55,960 --> 02:30:58,960
It takes experience to make any beer.

2547
02:30:58,960 --> 02:31:02,960
But it's taken two centuries of brewing experience to make Schaefer.

2548
02:31:02,960 --> 02:31:06,960
You see, more experience helps give Schaefer that special something more.

2549
02:31:06,960 --> 02:31:11,960
That smooth, mellow flavor that keeps coming on beer after frosty beer.

2550
02:31:11,960 --> 02:31:13,960
More experience is one reason.

2551
02:31:13,960 --> 02:31:20,960
But of course there's more than one reason behind the one beer to have when you're having more than one.

2552
02:31:20,960 --> 02:31:27,960
They start coming up to the left of Billy Smith and the Islanders and the Rangers now with a power play.

2553
02:31:27,960 --> 02:31:29,960
And they've got one of the great ones.

2554
02:31:29,960 --> 02:31:31,960
Warren Henning clears the puck.

2555
02:31:31,960 --> 02:31:33,960
Eddie Chakaman stops it.

2556
02:31:33,960 --> 02:31:36,960
On the puck now is Rod Jobert who can fly.

2557
02:31:36,960 --> 02:31:39,960
He comes back to retell the Vickers left wing.

2558
02:31:39,960 --> 02:31:40,960
Vickers with it.

2559
02:31:40,960 --> 02:31:42,960
The back pass left point part.

2560
02:31:42,960 --> 02:31:45,960
Park with a puck on the left wing to Vickers.

2561
02:31:45,960 --> 02:31:48,960
In the slot, needs Jobert right wing, Middleton shoots.

2562
02:31:48,960 --> 02:31:49,960
A save.

2563
02:31:49,960 --> 02:31:51,960
And spat it into the crowd by Billy Smith.

2564
02:31:51,960 --> 02:31:53,960
It's deflected up in the air.

2565
02:31:53,960 --> 02:31:58,960
And like a baseball bat, he hit it just right and rammed it into the crowd.

2566
02:31:58,960 --> 02:32:05,960
We'll try to keep you abreast of the clock as it winds down here, 6.47 to go in the game and 1.34 to go in the period.

2567
02:32:05,960 --> 02:32:08,960
Of course the Islanders brought a three goal lead into the period.

2568
02:32:08,960 --> 02:32:10,960
They've been really sitting on this lead playing excellent defense.

2569
02:32:10,960 --> 02:32:14,960
And this could be the key point in the hockey game with the Rangers on the power play.

2570
02:32:14,960 --> 02:32:17,960
Retell's done a great job on face-offs and here's a big one.

2571
02:32:17,960 --> 02:32:19,960
1.34 to go on the penalty.

2572
02:32:19,960 --> 02:32:21,960
Eddie Westphal, John Retell.

2573
02:32:21,960 --> 02:32:23,960
The puck down. It's in the corner.

2574
02:32:23,960 --> 02:32:25,960
Did he let the Billy Smith?

2575
02:32:25,960 --> 02:32:30,960
Lewis tied up and he tried to bank it off the glass and it goes into the crowd.

2576
02:32:30,960 --> 02:32:33,960
So the face-off will be to the right of Billy Smith this time.

2577
02:32:33,960 --> 02:32:36,960
And only four seconds was used up.

2578
02:32:36,960 --> 02:32:39,960
6.43 to go in the game. 3-1 Islanders.

2579
02:32:39,960 --> 02:32:44,960
That was unfortunate as Lewis had an opportunity to clear the puck and ended up throwing it up in the crowd.

2580
02:32:44,960 --> 02:32:46,960
Now they'll do it again.

2581
02:32:46,960 --> 02:32:48,960
Ready now for the draw and back of the Islanders net.

2582
02:32:48,960 --> 02:32:50,960
Lewis again fighting for it.

2583
02:32:50,960 --> 02:32:51,960
It's loose.

2584
02:32:51,960 --> 02:32:52,960
Back to the left point.

2585
02:32:52,960 --> 02:32:53,960
Parked left wing.

2586
02:32:53,960 --> 02:32:54,960
Vickers with it.

2587
02:32:54,960 --> 02:32:55,960
Out front.

2588
02:32:55,960 --> 02:32:57,960
Score!

2589
02:32:57,960 --> 02:33:00,960
It's 3-2.

2590
02:33:00,960 --> 02:33:04,960
It was kept in by Fairburn again.

2591
02:33:04,960 --> 02:33:09,960
He's had two goals tonight and he has 11 career goals.

2592
02:33:09,960 --> 02:33:12,960
3-2. 6.33 to go.

2593
02:33:12,960 --> 02:33:13,960
Third period.

2594
02:33:13,960 --> 02:33:14,960
Well, we called it for you.

2595
02:33:14,960 --> 02:33:17,960
It's just the way the Rangers have set up all their other goals.

2596
02:33:17,960 --> 02:33:22,960
Billy Fairburn breaking down the crease and managing to deflect that puck high up in the net.

2597
02:33:22,960 --> 02:33:26,960
Billy Smith's looking a little down right now as Jerry Hart goes back to talk to him.

2598
02:33:26,960 --> 02:33:28,960
6.33 to go in the game.

2599
02:33:28,960 --> 02:33:34,960
The Rangers are coming on and the Islanders are going to have to really tighten up here in this hockey game.

2600
02:33:34,960 --> 02:33:42,960
When one thinks back to the goal that was disallowed, the goal by JP Parisi, the fourth goal the Islanders would have had,

2601
02:33:42,960 --> 02:33:44,960
but that was called back to the offside.

2602
02:33:44,960 --> 02:33:50,960
It's got to be a big goal as the Ranger fans are now littering the ice with debris and we're going to have a delay here in the hockey game.

2603
02:33:50,960 --> 02:34:00,960
Well, right now the Islanders are going to try to stem that momentum, that overused word that is so important.

2604
02:34:00,960 --> 02:34:07,960
The official time of the goal is 13 minutes and 27 seconds of the third period.

2605
02:34:07,960 --> 02:34:11,960
Fairburn's fourth goal of the playoff.

2606
02:34:11,960 --> 02:34:16,960
He has had two games, two goals last night, two goals here tonight.

2607
02:34:16,960 --> 02:34:19,960
11 career goals against the Islanders.

2608
02:34:19,960 --> 02:34:22,960
On the draw, Nick Beverly, he goes to Brad Park.

2609
02:34:22,960 --> 02:34:25,960
Vickers and Park get an assist.

2610
02:34:25,960 --> 02:34:28,960
Park shoots to the Islanders and Billy Smith banks it off the board.

2611
02:34:28,960 --> 02:34:30,960
Jill Baird keeps it in.

2612
02:34:30,960 --> 02:34:33,960
To Ritale, outside, ball!

2613
02:34:33,960 --> 02:34:36,960
Vickers ties it up.

2614
02:34:36,960 --> 02:34:39,960
And it's all tied up 3-3.

2615
02:34:39,960 --> 02:34:41,960
Well, you can see that one coming.

2616
02:34:41,960 --> 02:34:43,960
The Rangers have everything going for them now.

2617
02:34:43,960 --> 02:34:47,960
It's like the ice has a tilt in it as the garbage man kill wild.

2618
02:34:47,960 --> 02:34:54,960
Steve Vickers scores again from the position where Vickers is always so dangerous right on the doorstep.

2619
02:34:54,960 --> 02:35:00,960
As Ed Westwell obviously too good about hitting that puck with a high stick, which Jill Baird did.

2620
02:35:00,960 --> 02:35:07,960
And now the Garden fans are simply littering the ice with all kinds of screeners as the hockey games have been tied up.

2621
02:35:07,960 --> 02:35:11,960
13-41, the official time of the goal.

2622
02:35:11,960 --> 02:35:14,960
Steve Vickers ties it up on a deflection.

2623
02:35:14,960 --> 02:35:19,960
The Islanders have been trying to play the lead, and of course it's always risky when you do that,

2624
02:35:19,960 --> 02:35:23,960
instead of keeping their own momentum going.

2625
02:35:23,960 --> 02:35:31,960
Remember that if it ends up tied at the end of regulation time, we will go into sudden death overtime.

2626
02:35:31,960 --> 02:35:33,960
There will be a winner tonight.

2627
02:35:34,960 --> 02:35:35,960
down the feet.

2628
02:35:35,960 --> 02:35:42,960
New York Rangers start to go into a shell now that they've tied it up, or they continue with this all-out assault on the Island Decade.

2629
02:35:42,960 --> 02:35:47,960
Certainly Billy Smith cannot be faulted on any of the goals, all three coming right on the doorstep.

2630
02:35:47,960 --> 02:35:51,960
A battle for the puck taken by Rattell to Jill Baird.

2631
02:35:51,960 --> 02:35:56,960
Shoots to the Islanders end, Vickers after it, and it is icing on the Rangers.

2632
02:35:56,960 --> 02:36:03,960
The puck will be brought back and we'll have a face-off in the New York Rangers end to the right of Eddie Jacobin.

2633
02:36:03,960 --> 02:36:09,960
Well, John Rattell and Roger Baird get a first and John Rattell's some kind of hockey player in the clutch.

2634
02:36:09,960 --> 02:36:15,960
Rangers coming in three goals down on the brink of oblivion. They battle back now and tie the score.

2635
02:36:15,960 --> 02:36:21,960
Steve Vickers second of the playoff from Rattell and Jill Baird at 13-41.

2636
02:36:21,960 --> 02:36:24,960
That's the equalizer at this moment.

2637
02:36:24,960 --> 02:36:26,960
Jill Baird has the draw.

2638
02:36:26,960 --> 02:36:27,960
Center right.

2639
02:36:27,960 --> 02:36:29,960
Stopped at center right by Parisi.

2640
02:36:29,960 --> 02:36:32,960
And JP backs him against the board.

2641
02:36:32,960 --> 02:36:38,960
And Park moves in with drone, and we're going to have a face-off at center right.

2642
02:36:38,960 --> 02:36:43,960
And of course the line that just did all the work gets a big hand from the crowd.

2643
02:36:43,960 --> 02:36:47,960
Well, the Garden crowd is on F.D. standing as this line comes off and well they might.

2644
02:36:47,960 --> 02:36:54,960
Just a tremendous effort by the Jill Baird, Rattell, Steve Vickers combination.

2645
02:36:57,960 --> 02:37:04,960
The crowd now takes up a chance of Eddie for Ed Jacobin who came in in the second period replacing Jill Villamur.

2646
02:37:04,960 --> 02:37:09,960
And has been equal to every shot down as a drone at him although in truth here in the third period,

2647
02:37:09,960 --> 02:37:12,960
Downers have had very few shots on goal.

2648
02:37:12,960 --> 02:37:17,960
Alright, we're ready to go. Bob Boyne, Walt Kachuk ready for the draw.

2649
02:37:17,960 --> 02:37:22,960
Bruce Hood, the referee who's done an outstanding job handling the game.

2650
02:37:22,960 --> 02:37:25,960
On the draw.

2651
02:37:25,960 --> 02:37:28,960
Taken by Marat to his right, the Greshner.

2652
02:37:28,960 --> 02:37:31,960
Up on the right wing it goes to Fairburn.

2653
02:37:31,960 --> 02:37:35,960
To Kachuk, he's stopped and the puck is loose.

2654
02:37:35,960 --> 02:37:39,960
The center right to Billy Harris. Billy coming in right wing.

2655
02:37:39,960 --> 02:37:42,960
Billy shoots, knocked down by Jacobin.

2656
02:37:42,960 --> 02:37:47,960
Centering pass to Gilley, Clark, sends it to the corner to the right of Jacobin.

2657
02:37:47,960 --> 02:37:51,960
Marat's got it. Marat for the Rangers out to his own line to Kachuk.

2658
02:37:51,960 --> 02:37:55,960
Walt Kachuk to Urban. Ken Urban has it knocked out of his stick.

2659
02:37:55,960 --> 02:37:58,960
He stops at the left point area. The shot is saved by Smith.

2660
02:37:58,960 --> 02:38:03,960
The Greshner's got it. He shoots and it's deflected wide.

2661
02:38:03,960 --> 02:38:05,960
And in the corner to the right of Billy Smith.

2662
02:38:05,960 --> 02:38:07,960
Burke Marshall sends it around the board.

2663
02:38:07,960 --> 02:38:10,960
Fairburn's got it. He rolls it in back.

2664
02:38:10,960 --> 02:38:14,960
Burke Marshall fires it around the board and Gilley clears it.

2665
02:38:14,960 --> 02:38:17,960
And it goes to the full length of the ice.

2666
02:38:17,960 --> 02:38:19,960
And it'll be icing on the Islanders.

2667
02:38:19,960 --> 02:38:22,960
Face off to the left of Billy Smith and the Islanders end.

2668
02:38:22,960 --> 02:38:24,960
Well that's not going to do it to the Islanders.

2669
02:38:24,960 --> 02:38:27,960
Simply clearing the puck down the other end taking icing off.

2670
02:38:27,960 --> 02:38:29,960
Brings the face off all the way back in the Islander end.

2671
02:38:29,960 --> 02:38:33,960
The Islanders are going to have to do something that's very, very hard to do.

2672
02:38:33,960 --> 02:38:36,960
Once they've lost their momentum, regenerate it, get it together,

2673
02:38:36,960 --> 02:38:39,960
start clearing the puck as they did earlier in the hockey game,

2674
02:38:39,960 --> 02:38:41,960
and start to assault Jacobin in the cage.

2675
02:38:41,960 --> 02:38:45,960
Billy Harris had a good shot on goal and Jacobin came up big.

2676
02:38:45,960 --> 02:38:48,960
Ready to have it a face off to the left of Billy Smith.

2677
02:38:48,960 --> 02:38:52,960
Burke Marshall to Lewis to Howard and he clears it.

2678
02:38:52,960 --> 02:38:55,960
Into the Rangers end. Nick Beverly on it.

2679
02:38:55,960 --> 02:38:57,960
To Middleton behind him.

2680
02:38:57,960 --> 02:38:59,960
Taken by Howlett to Nystrom.

2681
02:38:59,960 --> 02:39:01,960
Bobby Nystrom to Howlett behind him.

2682
02:39:01,960 --> 02:39:03,960
Knocked away. Park got it.

2683
02:39:03,960 --> 02:39:06,960
Three on two. Park right wing.

2684
02:39:06,960 --> 02:39:08,960
To Middleton. Middleton ridden off.

2685
02:39:08,960 --> 02:39:11,960
Lewis has the puck. Lewis sends it around the board.

2686
02:39:11,960 --> 02:39:13,960
And it is kept in by Pullis.

2687
02:39:13,960 --> 02:39:15,960
In the back of the net Sanderson out front.

2688
02:39:15,960 --> 02:39:19,960
Park backhander. Knocked down smothered by Billy Smith.

2689
02:39:19,960 --> 02:39:22,960
Great save by Billy Smith.

2690
02:39:22,960 --> 02:39:28,960
Raleigh Ranger point men.

2691
02:39:28,960 --> 02:39:30,960
Have come all the way into the circle.

2692
02:39:30,960 --> 02:39:32,960
Dom the Rangers are throwing caution to the wind.

2693
02:39:32,960 --> 02:39:35,960
Their points have come all the way into the top of the circle.

2694
02:39:35,960 --> 02:39:38,960
They're going all out here for the win.

2695
02:39:38,960 --> 02:39:41,960
Well there's no tomorrow Jim. You gotta do it now.

2696
02:39:41,960 --> 02:39:47,960
And of course this crowd has really come to life.

2697
02:39:47,960 --> 02:39:50,960
Just a tremendous hockey game.

2698
02:39:50,960 --> 02:39:53,960
Whoever wins it, it has been some kind of a game tonight.

2699
02:39:53,960 --> 02:39:57,960
Well Mr. Magic, John Rattell is on for the Rangers so he's tough.

2700
02:39:57,960 --> 02:39:59,960
Ready now for the draw.

2701
02:39:59,960 --> 02:40:02,960
On the puck. Taken by Jerry Hart.

2702
02:40:02,960 --> 02:40:04,960
Jerry to his right to West Ball.

2703
02:40:04,960 --> 02:40:06,960
And he brings it out.

2704
02:40:06,960 --> 02:40:07,960
And he's center-right.

2705
02:40:07,960 --> 02:40:09,960
Shoots to the corner of the right of Jackaman.

2706
02:40:09,960 --> 02:40:11,960
Eddie Jackaman moves it in back.

2707
02:40:11,960 --> 02:40:13,960
Collected on the move by Joe Baer.

2708
02:40:13,960 --> 02:40:15,960
He's coming right back. Center-right.

2709
02:40:15,960 --> 02:40:18,960
His pass and center for Rattell. Wide of the mark.

2710
02:40:18,960 --> 02:40:20,960
And Jerry Hart has it.

2711
02:40:20,960 --> 02:40:22,960
Hart trying to knock it away.

2712
02:40:22,960 --> 02:40:24,960
Deflect. Almost went on Vickers' stick.

2713
02:40:24,960 --> 02:40:26,960

Back of the left wing. Vickers coming in.

2716
02:40:30,960 --> 02:40:32,960
Vickers down the middle.

2717
02:40:32,960 --> 02:40:34,960
And by Joe Baer.

2718
02:40:34,960 --> 02:40:36,960
He's coming right back. Center-right.

2719
02:40:36,960 --> 02:40:38,960
His pass and center for Rattell. Wide of the mark.

2720
02:40:38,960 --> 02:40:40,960
And Jerry Hart has it.

2721
02:40:40,960 --> 02:40:42,960
Hart trying to knock it away.

2722
02:40:42,960 --> 02:40:44,960
Deflect. Almost went on Vickers' stick.

2723
02:40:44,960 --> 02:40:46,960
Up to Gruen.

2724
02:40:46,960 --> 02:40:48,960

Vickers down the middle.

2727
02:40:52,960 --> 02:40:56,960
And the centering pass is deflected wide.

2728
02:40:56,960 --> 02:40:58,960
And we got...

2729
02:40:58,960 --> 02:41:00,960
Bruce Hood now rushing in there.

2730
02:41:00,960 --> 02:41:04,960
As the puck is smothered by Billy Smith.

2731
02:41:04,960 --> 02:41:06,960
Well, this is Stanley Cup action at its finest.

2732
02:41:06,960 --> 02:41:08,960
End-to-end action.

2733
02:41:08,960 --> 02:41:11,960
And if we can maintain our composure and our voices up here,

2734
02:41:11,960 --> 02:41:13,960
we'll bring you the rest of this one because

2735
02:41:13,960 --> 02:41:16,960
this is going to be a fight to the finish.

2736
02:41:16,960 --> 02:41:18,960
Ready now for the draw.

2737
02:41:18,960 --> 02:41:20,960
To the left of Billy Smith at the Islanders' end.

2738
02:41:20,960 --> 02:41:22,960
The Islanders are tied with the Rangers.

2739
02:41:22,960 --> 02:41:26,960

2740
02:41:26,960 --> 02:41:28,960

2744
02:41:34,960 --> 02:41:36,960

02:41:36,960 --> 02:41:38,960
In front of the net it goes to Jerry Hart.

2746
02:41:38,960 --> 02:41:40,960

The Red Line shoots it in. Stopped by Jacob and him back.

2749
02:41:44,960 --> 02:41:46,960
He moves it away from Jude Druin.

2750
02:41:46,960 --> 02:41:49,960
And the puck comes to center-right.

2751
02:41:49,960 --> 02:41:51,960
Rattell has it.

2752
02:41:51,960 --> 02:41:53,960

Rattell back on it. His pass.

2767
02:42:20,960 --> 02:42:23,960
And it is kept in. Taken by Marshall.

2768
02:42:23,960 --> 02:42:25,960
Marshall up on the right wing. Billy Harris.

2769
02:42:25,960 --> 02:42:27,960

Centering pass. Knocked away.

2772

Burt Marshall in from the right point. Trying to hold it in.

2773
02:42:33,960 --> 02:42:35,960
And he can't.

2774
02:42:35,960 --> 02:42:37,960
Kachuk's got it. Kachuk.

2775
02:42:37,960 --> 02:42:39,960

Kruechner on the puck. Knocked down.

2778
02:42:43,960 --> 02:42:45,960
The crowd thought there should have been a penalty.

2779
02:42:45,960 --> 02:42:47,960
And there isn't.

2780
02:42:47,960 --> 02:42:49,960
And Clark Gillies clears it.

2781
02:42:49,960 --> 02:42:51,960
And we got icing coming up on the Islanders.

2782
02:42:53,960 --> 02:42:56,960
Let's pause 15 seconds for station identification.

2783
02:42:56,960 --> 02:42:58,960
3-3 the score.

2784
02:42:58,960 --> 02:43:00,960
This is New York Islanders hockey.

2785
02:43:02,960 --> 02:43:04,960
WMCA New York.

2786
02:43:04,960 --> 02:43:06,960
Hello. This is Joan Hamburg.

2788
02:43:10,960 --> 02:43:14,960
Call me at 489-1155.

2789
02:43:20,960 --> 02:43:23,960
The New York Nets went down to the beach tonight in St. Louis.

2790
02:43:23,960 --> 02:43:25,960
113 to 108.

2791
02:43:25,960 --> 02:43:29,960
Well St. Louis now leads the best of seven series.

2792
02:43:29,960 --> 02:43:31,960
Two games to one.

2793
02:43:31,960 --> 02:43:36,960
And the young spirits have come on strong.

2794
02:43:36,960 --> 02:43:38,960
On the draw.

2795
02:43:38,960 --> 02:43:39,960

2796
02:43:39,960 --> 02:43:41,960

02:43:49,960 --> 02:43:51,960
Leaves the puck for Lewis.

2802
02:43:51,960 --> 02:43:53,960
Lewis and Kachuk now holding him up.

2803
02:43:53,960 --> 02:43:55,960
Around the boards to board.

2804
02:43:55,960 --> 02:43:57,960
Knocked away.

2805
02:43:57,960 --> 02:43:59,960
Puck loose. In front.

2806
02:43:59,960 --> 02:44:02,960
Deflected. Right across him. Out of the goal.

2807
02:44:02,960 --> 02:44:04,960
Billy Harris has it. Billy coming back.

2808
02:44:04,960 --> 02:44:06,960

02:44:06,960 --> 02:44:08,960

2814
02:44:19,960 --> 02:44:20,960
He goes down.

2815
02:44:20,960 --> 02:44:22,960
The puck kicked at.

2816
02:44:22,960 --> 02:44:23,960

2817
02:44:23,960 --> 02:44:25,960
Trying to move the puck up to Billy Harris.

2818
02:44:25,960 --> 02:44:27,960
He does. To center-right.

2819
02:44:27,960 --> 02:44:29,960
And the board.

2820
02:44:29,960 --> 02:44:33,960
Loses to Kruechner. Kruechner knocked down.

2821
02:44:33,960 --> 02:44:35,960
Battle for that puck at center-right.

2822
02:44:35,960 --> 02:44:38,960
We got a minute twenty to go. Third period to park.

2823
02:44:38,960 --> 02:44:40,960
Poked by Burt Marshall.

2824
02:44:40,960 --> 02:44:42,960

Drop pass. Vickers shoots.

2835
02:45:03,960 --> 02:45:05,960
A save by Smith. And a beauty.

02:45:05,960 --> 02:45:07,960
Dennis Potbann's got it.

2837
02:45:07,960 --> 02:45:08,960
He gets to the center-right.

2838
02:45:08,960 --> 02:45:09,960
To Kruechner.

2839
02:45:09,960 --> 02:45:11,960
Jules sends it to the Rangers end.

2840
02:45:11,960 --> 02:45:14,960
Forty seconds to go in the third period.

2841
02:45:14,960 --> 02:45:15,960
Back to center-right.

2842
02:45:15,960 --> 02:45:17,960
Dennis Potbann to Jerry Hart.

2843
02:45:17,960 --> 02:45:19,960

02:45:21,960 --> 02:45:22,960
West ball.

2846
02:45:22,960 --> 02:45:23,960
Eddie out front.

2847
02:45:23,960 --> 02:45:24,960
Blocked.

2848
02:45:24,960 --> 02:45:26,960
The puck is jammed against the boys.

2849
02:45:26,960 --> 02:45:30,960
And we're going to have a faceoff with 32 seconds to go in the third period.

2850
02:45:30,960 --> 02:45:33,960
Well, Donald, I have only one wish in this hockey game.

2851
02:45:33,960 --> 02:45:37,960
And that wish being that the goal that decides this game be a good clean goal.

2852
02:45:37,960 --> 02:45:39,960
I think these are two great clubs.

2853
02:45:39,960 --> 02:45:41,960
They've battled evenly all year long.

2854
02:45:41,960 --> 02:45:43,960
They both finished with 88 points.

2855
02:45:43,960 --> 02:45:45,960
Here we come down to the final 32 seconds.

2856
02:45:45,960 --> 02:45:46,960
One game apiece.

2857
02:45:46,960 --> 02:45:48,960
3-3 on the scoreboard.

2858
02:45:48,960 --> 02:45:51,960
And I hope the goal that wins it is a beauty.

2859
02:45:51,960 --> 02:45:53,960
Thirty-two seconds to go.

2860
02:45:53,960 --> 02:45:54,960
Second period.

2861
02:45:54,960 --> 02:45:59,960
Then we go into sudden death overtime if nobody scores in the next 32 seconds.

2862
02:45:59,960 --> 02:46:02,960
Tremendous hockey action.

2863
02:46:02,960 --> 02:46:05,960
This is one of the finest games I think I've ever seen or done.

2864
02:46:05,960 --> 02:46:06,960
Just great.

2865
02:46:06,960 --> 02:46:08,960
On the draw.

2866
02:46:08,960 --> 02:46:09,960
Sondler on.

2867
02:46:09,960 --> 02:46:10,960
Shoot.

2868
02:46:10,960 --> 02:46:11,960
Saved by Chackabin.

2869
02:46:11,960 --> 02:46:13,960
He pushes it in back.

2870
02:46:13,960 --> 02:46:14,960
Brad Park's got it.

2871
02:46:14,960 --> 02:46:16,960
Park up on the right wing to Sanderson.

2872
02:46:16,960 --> 02:46:17,960
The Rangers rushing now.

2873
02:46:17,960 --> 02:46:19,960
The shot is wider than that.

2874
02:46:19,960 --> 02:46:21,960
Centering pass Butler.

2875
02:46:21,960 --> 02:46:22,960
Sanderson on the right wing.

2876
02:46:22,960 --> 02:46:24,960
Back to Park.

2877
02:46:24,960 --> 02:46:25,960
Knocked away.

2878
02:46:25,960 --> 02:46:26,960
Howitz got it.

2879
02:46:26,960 --> 02:46:27,960
Gary bringing it out.

2880
02:46:27,960 --> 02:46:28,960
To Nystrom.

2881
02:46:28,960 --> 02:46:29,960
Seven seconds.

2882
02:46:29,960 --> 02:46:30,960
Nystrom with it.

2883
02:46:30,960 --> 02:46:31,960
Looses to Urban.

2884
02:46:31,960 --> 02:46:33,960
Dennis Potman on it.

2885
02:46:33,960 --> 02:46:34,960
Dennis left wing.

2886
02:46:34,960 --> 02:46:36,960
Howitz with a puck.

2887
02:46:36,960 --> 02:46:37,960
That's it.

2888
02:46:37,960 --> 02:46:39,960
That's the end of the third period.

2889
02:46:39,960 --> 02:46:43,960
And at the end of three full periods of play, it is 3-3.

2890
02:46:43,960 --> 02:46:48,960
The people of Eastern believe they're going to make your next Eastern flight a great flight.

2891
02:46:48,960 --> 02:46:51,960
Part of my job at Eastern is solving travel problems.

2892
02:46:51,960 --> 02:46:53,960
If you've got one, call me.

2893
02:46:53,960 --> 02:46:54,960
You've got to believe.

2894
02:46:54,960 --> 02:46:58,960
I'll do everything I can to get you where you want to go, when you want to go.

2895
02:46:58,960 --> 02:47:00,960
We're going to do more than just get you there.

2896
02:47:00,960 --> 02:47:02,960
We're going to take good care of you all the way.

2897
02:47:02,960 --> 02:47:03,960
You've got to believe.

2898
02:47:03,960 --> 02:47:06,960
I'm going to do everything I can to give you a smooth flight.

2899
02:47:06,960 --> 02:47:08,960
You've got to believe.

2900
02:47:08,960 --> 02:47:11,960
Why is it good?

2901
02:47:11,960 --> 02:47:15,960
If you're flying to Florida, Eastern can give you more than any other airline.

2902
02:47:15,960 --> 02:47:20,960
With the most daily nonstop facilities in Florida, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville,

2903
02:47:20,960 --> 02:47:26,960
Tampa, St. Petersburg, West Palm Beach, Sarasota, and Orlando, home of Walt Disney World,

2904
02:47:26,960 --> 02:47:29,960
take a money-saving Eastern Night Coach to most cities in Florida

2905
02:47:29,960 --> 02:47:32,960
and save about 20 percent off the regular day coach airfare.

2906
02:47:32,960 --> 02:47:40,960
For reservations to Florida, call the travel specialist, your travel agent, or call Eastern the wings of man.

2907
02:47:43,960 --> 02:47:47,960
We're in Madison Square Garden, where after three periods of regulation play,

2908
02:47:47,960 --> 02:47:50,960
it's the New York Islanders three and the New York Rangers three.

2909
02:47:50,960 --> 02:47:54,960
The New York Islanders came into the third period with a 3-0 lead,

2910
02:47:54,960 --> 02:48:04,960
appeared to be coasting along fairly evenly when at 444, Bill Fairburn got his third goal of the playoffs from Kachuk and Greshner,

2911
02:48:04,960 --> 02:48:06,960
and it was 3-1.

2912
02:48:06,960 --> 02:48:10,960
That goal seemed to spark the Rangers, it certainly sparked the crowd,

2913
02:48:10,960 --> 02:48:13,960
and the Rangers came back with Zim and Vigor.

2914
02:48:13,960 --> 02:48:20,960
And shortly thereafter, Jerry Hart was penalized for hooking at 1247.

2915
02:48:20,960 --> 02:48:24,960
The Ranger power play, which had been blunted during this hockey game,

2916
02:48:24,960 --> 02:48:29,960
an outstanding power play during the playoffs and during the regular season, came to life.

2917
02:48:29,960 --> 02:48:41,960
And at 1327, Bill Fairburn got his second consecutive goal, skating down at the goal mouth on assists from Vickers and Park, and it was 3-2.

2918
02:48:41,960 --> 02:48:44,960
At that point, the crowd was roaring.

2919
02:48:44,960 --> 02:48:48,960
It appeared only a matter of moments before the Rangers would tie it,

2920
02:48:48,960 --> 02:48:55,960
and some 14 seconds later, at 1341, Steve Vickers scored again from the goal mouth.

2921
02:48:55,960 --> 02:49:05,960
All three Ranger goals coming on fairly similar type plays, Fairburn's two and Vickers' third tying goal from Retell and Gilbert.

2922
02:49:05,960 --> 02:49:10,960
Over the last six and a half minutes, the clubs battled with the Rangers getting perhaps the best chances,

2923
02:49:10,960 --> 02:49:19,960
controlling the puck in the Islander end, Billy Smith being called upon time and time again to make saves to keep the Rangers off the board.

2924
02:49:19,960 --> 02:49:25,960
To give you an idea about the third period and how one-sided it was, shots on goal, which are sometimes not indicative,

2925
02:49:25,960 --> 02:49:32,960
but in this case, I think truly reflect the type of action we had, the New York Islanders managed only four shots on goal,

2926
02:49:32,960 --> 02:49:37,960
and two of those four coming after the score had been tied.

2927
02:49:37,960 --> 02:49:47,960
The Rangers, on the other hand, came up with 14 shots on goal, out shooting the Islanders 14 to 4, for a total of 40 shots on goal to the Islanders 24.

2928
02:49:47,960 --> 02:49:54,960
Well, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the proceedings right now, the ice has been cleared, the Zamboni machine is on,

2929
02:49:54,960 --> 02:50:02,960
we have a regular 15-minute intermission, in which time the ice will be cleaned, the players will be refreshed,

2930
02:50:02,960 --> 02:50:10,960
and we will come out to play sudden death overtime, sudden death overtime, perhaps the most exciting moment in athletics,

2931
02:50:10,960 --> 02:50:18,960
when it's two teams on the ice, knowing that the next goal determines the game, the winner moves on, the loser departs.

2932
02:50:18,960 --> 02:50:25,960
Sitting up here with me, as he's been for most of the games during the playoffs, the voice of the Washington Capitals, Ron Weber.

2933
02:50:25,960 --> 02:50:28,960
Ron, it's a pleasure to have you up here with us.

2934
02:50:28,960 --> 02:50:34,960
Thank you, Jim, very much, a pleasure to be here, and boy, am I going to enjoy the fourth period, I haven't seen one, of course, all year,

2935
02:50:34,960 --> 02:50:40,960
and the final score of this game is 4-3, or will be, and don't we wonder who it's going to be?

2936
02:50:40,960 --> 02:50:47,960
Well, you know, Ron, being up in the Islanders playoff season, and of course, keeping close tabs on the Rangers as well,

2937
02:50:47,960 --> 02:50:54,960
it's almost incredible to think that after 80 games in the regular season, the clubs end up 88 points apiece,

2938
02:50:54,960 --> 02:51:01,960
after three games of Stanley Cup action, the clubs end up a game apiece, 3-3 here, and how close can you get?

2939
02:51:01,960 --> 02:51:06,960
You know, and of course, I think more to the Islanders' credit, certainly the Rangers have more talent on their hockey club,

2940
02:51:06,960 --> 02:51:12,960
and certainly they have a lot, lot more experience, not only experience in years, but experience in the playoffs.

2941
02:51:12,960 --> 02:51:18,960
Ed Jockerman, I believe, is playing his 65th Stanley Cup game tonight, I don't know how many Billy Smiths have been in,

2942
02:51:18,960 --> 02:51:23,960
but it can't be more than a handful, and I know for a fact, of course, Glenn Resch had not played any before Tuesday.

2943
02:51:23,960 --> 02:51:28,960
Right. You know, while the Islanders had the three-goal lead, they had opportunities to put this game away.

2944
02:51:28,960 --> 02:51:35,960
Andre Sanlaron hit the crossbar, Nystrom hit the goal post, and I guess the one that really had to hurt right after Fairburn had scored,

2945
02:51:35,960 --> 02:51:42,960
upping the count to 3-1, the drawing Westfall-Perisi line, come over the blue line, and J.P. Perisi let go a flat shot,

2946
02:51:42,960 --> 02:51:47,960
that beat Jockerman, and for an instant, it appeared as though the Islanders had taken a 4-1 lead.

2947
02:51:47,960 --> 02:51:50,960
Yeah, I think the offside call was a good one, but it was awful, awful close,

2948
02:51:50,960 --> 02:51:55,960
and I can see Islander partisans being visibly upset by that, no two ways about it.

2949
02:51:55,960 --> 02:52:01,960
It is going to be too bad that one team, somewhere along tonight, or by early morning, is going to be out of this thing,

2950
02:52:01,960 --> 02:52:03,960
because they both really deserve to continue the way they play.

2951
02:52:03,960 --> 02:52:10,960
The Islanders were playing up to, I still have got to think, a better hockey club, and of course, the Rangers, from coming back,

2952
02:52:10,960 --> 02:52:16,960
because they were certainly staring defeat in the place, and even the ignominy of a shutout on their own home ice in their last game of the season.

2953
02:52:16,960 --> 02:52:22,960
Billy Smith was superb in the first period, I have not seen better goaltending over a 20-minute stretch in this entire season,

2954
02:52:22,960 --> 02:52:27,960
any game that I have watched, and of course, I saw the Capitals play 80, and when I could, I took a busman's holiday,

2955
02:52:27,960 --> 02:52:30,960
and I guess I picked up another dozen or so along the way.

2956
02:52:30,960 --> 02:52:36,960
Fairburn, of course, with a couple of goals, a couple of nights running, is to be credited,

2957
02:52:36,960 --> 02:52:43,960
and Vickers, who scored the tying goal, I think on a fluke, as I saw it, went off the blade of Dennis Plotman's stick,

2958
02:52:43,960 --> 02:52:50,960
but nevertheless, he earned a point just before that when he centered a perfect one for Fairburn to block in.

2959
02:52:50,960 --> 02:52:57,960
So, the Rangers have had their heroes, the Rangers have had to overcome a change in goaltenders, and they gave misconduct to Pete Stemkowski,

2960
02:52:57,960 --> 02:53:02,960
and in fact, if the Rangers had not come back and tied this game, I think the onus might have been on Jockeman,

2961
02:53:02,960 --> 02:53:10,960
who lost his temper at a very critical time when he slashed Gary Howlett repeatedly, and I think he was lucky that Howlett even went off at all.

2962
02:53:10,960 --> 02:53:16,960
It could have been, the Rangers could have been shorthanded for four long minutes, as it was, he got the double minor to Jockeman,

2963
02:53:16,960 --> 02:53:26,960
and Howlett, who showed restraint, which is unusual for him, got two, and really, a little different view could have let him get away scot-free,

2964
02:53:26,960 --> 02:53:33,960
and certainly, Howlett would like to punch the Silver Fox back, but I think he was thinking what the score was and how important it was.

2965
02:53:33,960 --> 02:53:40,960
Well, I commented on the air that last night we discussed the officiating at length, tonight I thought the officiating by Bruce Hood and his crew has been excellent,

2966
02:53:40,960 --> 02:53:48,960
but on that particular play, as I saw it, I don't know how you saw it, Ron, Howlett actually lifted his hands up, almost in a pose of surrender,

2967
02:53:48,960 --> 02:53:53,960
to avoid hitting Jockeman, and just backskated, absorbing a couple of shots from Eddie Jockeman.

2968
02:53:53,960 --> 02:54:00,960
Yeah, I think at the same time, though, he was giving him a lot of lip, because it looked to me like all of a sudden, you can't look behind the mask, of course,

2969
02:54:00,960 --> 02:54:07,960
but Jockeman jumped at him, and I think that Howlett was goading him, of course, if you can do that, that's to the player's credit,

2970
02:54:07,960 --> 02:54:14,960
but although Howlett physically wasn't trying to enter in the thing, I think he was hoping Jockeman would come piling in at him,

2971
02:54:14,960 --> 02:54:22,960
and after thinking that a goalie in a fight is rather rare, we've had two and two nights now, one for each side.

2972
02:54:22,960 --> 02:54:27,960
I thought the turning point in the hockey game, Ron, in the third period was not the fair-baring goal,

2973
02:54:27,960 --> 02:54:33,960
because the Islanders then killed about ten minutes of the period, and had a 3-1 lead with seven minutes to go.

2974
02:54:33,960 --> 02:54:38,960
As soon as the call was made to Jerry Hart, I felt at that point, I said to Don Valentino,

2975
02:54:38,960 --> 02:54:43,960
you just don't keep this power play off the board forever, I thought that was the turning point in the hockey game.

2976
02:54:43,960 --> 02:54:48,960
I'd agree with you, and of course, that's the one Vickers made the fine center that Fairburn blocked in, and that gave him the impetus.

2977
02:54:48,960 --> 02:54:53,960
You're right, Fairburn had scored, and Broken Smith shut out, but it didn't really seem like the Rangers,

2978
02:54:53,960 --> 02:54:58,960
it didn't seem like the Islanders were rocked back by that at all, and it was still 3-1 their favor.

2979
02:54:58,960 --> 02:55:03,960
In fact, Fairburn built that play, there were two assists handed out to Greshner and Kachuk at 4-44,

2980
02:55:03,960 --> 02:55:07,960
but really Fairburn made that all the way down himself. He really soloed, and he sashayed down the middle.

2981
02:55:07,960 --> 02:55:17,960
It was a fine individual effort, but I sometimes think an individual effort like that doesn't automatically spur a team on as much as some good team play would have been.

2982
02:55:17,960 --> 02:55:20,960
Absolutely, I don't think Billy Smith could have been faulted on any of the goals.

2983
02:55:20,960 --> 02:55:24,960
The Rangers seem to have a penchant for coming up with that goal at the goal mouth.

2984
02:55:24,960 --> 02:55:28,960
I think Vickers and Fairburn are the two best at it, Ricky Middleton is pretty good as well.

2985
02:55:28,960 --> 02:55:33,960
They just always have a guy on that power play at the corner, and that's where you get those goals.

2986
02:55:33,960 --> 02:55:36,960
You know, talking about Middleton, I think you would have to agree with me.

2987
02:55:36,960 --> 02:55:41,960
If Middleton had not had that serious injury, what, December, January, along in there, and missed a couple of months,

2988
02:55:41,960 --> 02:55:46,960
I had to feel he'd have added at least a point to the Rangers' standings, and they would have finished ahead of the Islanders,

2989
02:55:46,960 --> 02:55:54,960
because even now Middleton is only a spot player, and if he had not had that leg injury, he'd be a regular and a real scorer for them,

2990
02:55:54,960 --> 02:55:57,960
where now he's not really been a factor in these playoffs.

2991
02:55:57,960 --> 02:56:02,960
Well, I had the feeling early in the season that Rick Middleton perhaps had the inside track on the Rookie of the Year award.

2992
02:56:02,960 --> 02:56:11,960
I think he has marvelous talent, tremendous shiftiness, he's a great skater, and he's certainly going to add to the Rangers' offense over the next season to come.

2993
02:56:11,960 --> 02:56:16,960
Ryan, as I sit here thinking about this first Sudden Death overtime game, which we'll be witnessing,

2994
02:56:16,960 --> 02:56:20,960
I stated with three minutes to go in the game, and I'll repeat it now, that I really have only one wish,

2995
02:56:20,960 --> 02:56:27,960
that the goal of the side of this game not be a fluke, but be a clean goal, scored by one of two great teams.

2996
02:56:27,960 --> 02:56:32,960
That's right. How long ago was it when you first thought, gee, I just hope sometime we get into an overtime,

2997
02:56:32,960 --> 02:56:35,960
because then you knew the Isleman would be in the playoffs.

2998
02:56:35,960 --> 02:56:40,960
It's something I'm, of course, looking forward to as a capital announcer, and I hope it isn't too many eons away.

2999
02:56:40,960 --> 02:56:45,960
I want to broadcast an overtime game. Of course, I'd like to see them put it in in regular season type,

3000
02:56:45,960 --> 02:56:51,960
not play all night, but play an extra ten minutes. That would cut the ties in half and a little bit better, probably.

3001
02:56:51,960 --> 02:56:56,960
And I think it would be good, as to that old saying about, oh, well, both teams will just lay back in the overtime.

3002
02:56:56,960 --> 02:57:01,960
Well, baloney, they'd do that in the third period of regular season games now, especially the visiting team.

3003
02:57:01,960 --> 02:57:05,960
So it would just mean that old shell game would start a little later,

3004
02:57:05,960 --> 02:57:10,960
because they know they would not only have to waste away the rest of the third period, but an extra ten minutes as well.

3005
02:57:10,960 --> 02:57:17,960
So I wish they I was hoping. I think it's bad for hockey overall. The W.A.J. came into a into being.

3006
02:57:17,960 --> 02:57:23,960
But I was hoping that maybe one good effect out of it was the NHL would start to be forced into reinstating an overtime,

3007
02:57:23,960 --> 02:57:28,960
which they took out in 1940 something because of Second World War transportation problems.

3008
02:57:28,960 --> 02:57:30,960
Well, you know, I couldn't agree with you more, Ron.

3009
02:57:30,960 --> 02:57:38,960
I think that the one thing that expansion has done in creating new leagues in both the basketball group with the ABA and the AFL

3010
02:57:38,960 --> 02:57:41,960
when it came into being in football and now the World Hockey League,

3011
02:57:41,960 --> 02:57:47,960
I think it's the people who set up these leagues a little more progressive in their thinking because they really don't have an established product.

3012
02:57:47,960 --> 02:57:52,960
And if you moved them to appeal to the fans, I think the game basically is set up for the fans.

3013
02:57:52,960 --> 02:57:55,960
I know sometimes an overtime would be a little difficult for players and coaches,

3014
02:57:55,960 --> 02:58:00,960
but I think the salary levels of business to such a degree and the fans are paying good money.

3015
02:58:00,960 --> 02:58:02,960
And I think that we ought to be catering a little bit more to the fans.

3016
02:58:02,960 --> 02:58:07,960
And I think the fans have definitely proven in the World Hockey League that they love the overtime.

3017
02:58:07,960 --> 02:58:11,960
I can't think of a more thrilling moment in sports than a sudden death of overtime in any sport.

3018
02:58:11,960 --> 02:58:16,960
You know, if I were a player and you're in your career, you're going to be an X number of overtime.

3019
02:58:16,960 --> 02:58:19,960
You'll probably lose as many as you win. I wouldn't want to play an extra ten minutes either.

3020
02:58:19,960 --> 02:58:22,960
It's a hard demanding sport. I'd rather just call it a tie and go home.

3021
02:58:22,960 --> 02:58:26,960
But, you know, the fans want it and I think it's fair.

3022
02:58:26,960 --> 02:58:28,960
Now, I'm not against ties in football.

3023
02:58:28,960 --> 02:58:32,960
I'm against them putting in tiebreakers in the National Football League like they've done

3024
02:58:32,960 --> 02:58:38,960
because a tie in a football game is a rarity, but it isn't in hockey where you have such a little scoring.

3025
02:58:38,960 --> 02:58:42,960
Well, Ron, I want to thank you for kind of coming up here and pinch hitting.

3026
02:58:42,960 --> 02:58:44,960
I think you've been an interesting guest. You have a good outlook on hockey.

3027
02:58:44,960 --> 02:58:48,960
And I know that within the next few years, you know, this is the island's third season,

3028
02:58:48,960 --> 02:58:53,960
so the Caps coming off a tough year, but their first year with a couple of good draft picks,

3029
02:58:53,960 --> 02:58:56,960
like Jolly and a couple of more. I know the Caps will be right in it.

3030
02:58:56,960 --> 02:59:00,960
But we'll be back with the overtime period when we return in a moment.

3031
02:59:00,960 --> 02:59:20,960
Now, here's a word from the number one beer in New York.

3032
02:59:20,960 --> 02:59:25,960
New York is full of landmarks. The Battery, Washington Square, Shea Stadium,

3033
02:59:25,960 --> 02:59:29,960
and over on Kent Avenue in Brooklyn, there's another landmark, the Schaefer Brewery.

3034
02:59:29,960 --> 02:59:33,960
Since 1842, there's always been a Schaefer Brewery in New York

3035
02:59:33,960 --> 02:59:37,960
because New York has always liked Schaefer's way of tasting first beer good,

3036
02:59:37,960 --> 02:59:43,960
beer after beer, year after year. Schaefer's a beer born and brewed right here in New York.

3037
02:59:43,960 --> 02:59:57,960
It's New York's number one beer.

3038
02:59:57,960 --> 03:00:03,960
Have you heard about the unbelievable new car for 1975? It's the Pacer from AMC.

3039
03:00:03,960 --> 03:00:07,960
Hi, this is Don Valentino, and when I say unbelievable, here's what I mean.

3040
03:00:07,960 --> 03:00:12,960
Imagine a car that's wider than a Chevelle, smaller than a Vega, has more interior room,

3041
03:00:12,960 --> 03:00:16,960
then car's a lot larger, looks a little like a second cousin to a Porsche,

3042
03:00:16,960 --> 03:00:19,960
and has features that make it the most unusual car on the road today.

3043
03:00:19,960 --> 03:00:22,960
Now you're just beginning to find out about the Pacer.

3044
03:00:22,960 --> 03:00:25,960
And when you go to Manhattan, American, they'll show you how you can get a deal

3045
03:00:25,960 --> 03:00:29,960
on this great car from AMC, how you can be dollars ahead of the game

3046
03:00:29,960 --> 03:00:33,960
and get a car that delivers economy without sacrificing performance.

3047
03:00:33,960 --> 03:00:38,960
Go on in and see the Pacer. Test-ride the Pacer and talk to Manhattan, American about dollars.

3048
03:00:38,960 --> 03:00:41,960
If it's something extra you want in the way of a car, it's the Pacer.

3049
03:00:41,960 --> 03:00:48,960
For something extra in the way you'll save money and be treated, it's Manhattan.

3050
03:00:48,960 --> 03:00:55,960
In case you're tuning in late, you've missed a whale of a hockey game.

3051
03:00:55,960 --> 03:01:00,960
The score after three regulation periods of play is the New York Islanders 3 and the New York Rangers 3.

3052
03:01:00,960 --> 03:01:07,960
The Rangers coming up with three goals in the third period to turn almost certain defeat into this tie situation.

3053
03:01:07,960 --> 03:01:12,960
And sidelights for those of you who are interested in it, you know the Rangers and the New York Americans,

3054
03:01:12,960 --> 03:01:18,960
the old, last time we've had a rivalry like that, last time they played in the playoffs was in 1937-38.

3055
03:01:18,960 --> 03:01:24,960
And in a two game out of three series, the same as this, in the sixth period or the third overtime period of the last game,

3056
03:01:24,960 --> 03:01:28,960
the New York Americans defeated the New York Rangers by the count of three to two.

3057
03:01:28,960 --> 03:01:31,960
So whether or not history will repeat itself, we'll have to wait and see.

3058
03:01:31,960 --> 03:01:35,960
And down it's been a whale of a game and a whale of a season.

3059
03:01:35,960 --> 03:01:43,960
Both teams back out on the ice as we get ready now for the overtime sudden death.

3060
03:01:43,960 --> 03:01:53,960
And of course, you always see that great praise about the ecstasy of victory and the agony of defeat.

3061
03:01:53,960 --> 03:01:59,960
Well, you'll see it here tonight because the team that wins it will be very, very happy.

3062
03:01:59,960 --> 03:02:09,960
The team that loses it, extremely dejected because when you lose it this way, so close, in overtime it'll always hurt.

3063
03:02:09,960 --> 03:02:14,960
And Bruce Hood now says, let's go. Puts up his hand and he's ready to go.

3064
03:02:14,960 --> 03:02:18,960
Players taking their final whirl in their respective ends of the ice.

3065
03:02:18,960 --> 03:02:22,960
Well, the clock shows 20 minutes, just like a regulation period of time.

3066
03:02:22,960 --> 03:02:28,960
The two teams have switched ends of the ranks, the same as if we were playing a four period game.

3067
03:02:28,960 --> 03:02:33,960
The only difference of course being the first score will end this hockey game.

3068
03:02:33,960 --> 03:02:38,960
And stay with us, we'll stay with you and it's going to be a great finish.

3069
03:02:38,960 --> 03:02:47,960
Eddie Jackaman is on the 8th Street side of the Garden and Billy Smith on the 7th Avenue side.

3070
03:02:47,960 --> 03:02:49,960
8th Avenue and 7th Avenue.

3071
03:02:49,960 --> 03:02:54,960
So Rizzotto said as a youngster growing up that meant a lot with the Avenue for him.

3072
03:02:54,960 --> 03:02:57,960
Well, I hope that helps paint the picture for you.

3073
03:02:57,960 --> 03:03:02,960
The draw taken by Lois Chuteson and the Rangers and Vickers after the puck.

3074
03:03:02,960 --> 03:03:05,960
Vickers now loses, going, score!

3075
03:03:05,960 --> 03:03:07,960
Oh, look at that, he's gone!

3076
03:03:07,960 --> 03:03:12,960
J.J. Parisi has scored and the Islanders are going on in the playoffs.

3077
03:03:12,960 --> 03:03:17,960
Holy mackerel, how about that? Holy cow, we're going on down.

3078
03:03:17,960 --> 03:03:21,960
Look at that mob scene, they're just going out of their minds.

3079
03:03:21,960 --> 03:03:28,960
Vickers going into the period, 1949 and the Islanders have done it, they're going on in a Stanley Cup.

3080
03:03:28,960 --> 03:03:32,960
So I'm ready to jump out of the booth, holy cow!

3081
03:03:32,960 --> 03:03:38,960
How about that? As Phil would say, holy cow.

3082
03:03:38,960 --> 03:03:45,960
The Islanders win it and they go in now to the next round.

3083
03:03:45,960 --> 03:03:54,960
And the Rangers in true professional style come on and congratulate the Islanders.

3084
03:03:54,960 --> 03:04:02,960
You know there's Gary Howe and Eddie Jackman, took a little extra time to say thank you and wish the best for a couple of class guys.

3085
03:04:02,960 --> 03:04:09,960
So the Islanders go on now and we'll see who they'll play when we find out who wins between Toronto and Los Angeles.

3086
03:04:09,960 --> 03:04:18,960
I watched this ceremony with Bill Villamur and Billy Smith and my happiness here for the Islanders, I can't help feeling sorry for the Rangers and Emile Francis.

3087
03:04:18,960 --> 03:04:24,960
Just a great club, Emile Clance walks over to Al Arbor, shakes his hand and heads to the locker room.

3088
03:04:24,960 --> 03:04:30,960
Just a great game, two great clubs and I'm sorry that this had to happen. But look at the elation on the Islanders.

3089
03:04:30,960 --> 03:04:37,960
Ralph Stewart who did not dress tonight is out on the ice in his street clothes and we're glad to see that.

3090
03:04:37,960 --> 03:04:44,960
Ralph of course contributed during the season. The Islanders now skate off, they've won it, they've defeated the Rangers.

3091
03:04:44,960 --> 03:04:55,960
It's almost unbelievable as the Islanders in their third season, you know Jim this is the third straight victory for the Islanders here at Madison Square Garden.

3092
03:04:55,960 --> 03:05:03,960
This is just incredible because the Islanders an expansion club, third season and they've been able to do it all here tonight.

3093
03:05:03,960 --> 03:05:09,960
Some of the courage of Al Arbor has to be mentioned. Al Arbor went with Billy Smith on the net when many experts would have faulted him.

3094
03:05:09,960 --> 03:05:18,960
I thought Billy Smith was outstanding tonight and I want to commend Al Arbor for having the guts and the courage of his convictions to go with Billy Smith in this game here tonight.

3095
03:05:18,960 --> 03:05:36,960
J.P. Parisi who became the folk hero at the Coliseum, second goal of the playoff from Jude Bruin and how that combination helped and you look back at that trade that was so important at 11 seconds.

3096
03:05:36,960 --> 03:05:49,960
And that's the end of the game with a final score the New York Islanders 4 and the New York Rangers 3.

3097
03:06:06,960 --> 03:06:25,960
If you're flying to Florida Eastern can give you more than any other airline with the most daily nonstop cities in Florida including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Tampa, St. Petersburg, West Palm Beach, Sarasota and Orlando, home of Walt Disney World.

3098
03:06:25,960 --> 03:06:31,960
Take a money saving Eastern night coach to most cities in Florida and save about 20% off the regular day coach airfare.

3099
03:06:31,960 --> 03:06:42,960
For reservations to Florida call the travel specialist or travel agent or call Eastern the wings of man.

3100
03:06:42,960 --> 03:06:49,960
The New York Islanders had built up a 3-0 lead. The Rangers came back like you knew they would.

3101
03:06:49,960 --> 03:07:01,960
Tied it up and in the first overtime the Islanders win it at 11 seconds. First time on the Rangers end J.P. Parisi the tip in on the centering pass by Jude Bruin.

3102
03:07:01,960 --> 03:07:12,960
The summary of the hockey game. Clark Gillies made it one and nothing in the first period. At 16 minutes of the period his second playoff goal from Bob Warren, Burt Marshall.

3103
03:07:12,960 --> 03:07:22,960
That's how the period ended. In the second period Dennis Potman took over. He picked up a power play goal. His first goal of the playoff was from John Potman, Bob Nice from at 8.26.

3104
03:07:22,960 --> 03:07:31,960
And then a short handed goal by Dennis Potman. His second of the playoff, second of the period from Lorne Henning at 12.51 and it was three to nothing Islanders.

3105
03:07:31,960 --> 03:07:42,960
Nuts to be denied. The New York Rangers came roaring back. Billy Fairburn who is the all time career leader in goals against the Islanders scored two in a row.

3106
03:07:42,960 --> 03:07:58,960
His third of the playoff from Walt Kachuk, Ron Gressler at 4.44 and then Billy Fairburn a power play goal his fourth of the playoff and his 11th goal career wise against the Islanders from Vickers and Parker at 13.27.

3107
03:07:58,960 --> 03:08:08,960
And then Steve Vickers tied it up 3-3 his second playoff goal from John Rattell, Raj O'Bear at 13.41 and it was 3-3.

3108
03:08:08,960 --> 03:08:18,960
And then under the first overtime, J.P. Parisi the tip in on the centering pass by Jude Druin at 11 seconds and the Islanders won it 4-3.

3109
03:08:18,960 --> 03:08:34,960
40 shots on goal by the Rangers, 25 by the Islanders and you be sure and listen to WMCA. We should be able to have the information on for you sometime tomorrow with who the Islanders will be playing. Jim?

3110
03:08:34,960 --> 03:08:44,960
Bill Chadwick who just showed a great field of class. Bill just walked over and congratulated Dom and I and wished us good luck the rest of the way. I think that's nice of Bill Chadwick. He's a class guy.

3111
03:08:44,960 --> 03:08:58,960
Well you'd expect it from Bill who was a great official, elected to the Hall of Fame and certainly appreciate what he said and of course a New York team now in that quarterfinal round and I hope they do go all the way.

3112
03:08:58,960 --> 03:08:59,960
Jim?

3113
03:08:59,960 --> 03:09:04,960
You're kind of beat buddy. Thank you very much and we'll see you wherever the next round is.

3114
03:09:04,960 --> 03:09:13,960
Dom I'm looking forward to it. It's always a pleasure and for the Islander fans it's been a wait, not a long one, a short one and who knows what's next, maybe the world.

3115
03:09:13,960 --> 03:09:26,960
Alright the final score for the final time the New York Islanders win it, show up on the scoreboard for three at 11 seconds of the first overtime, J.P. Parisi and it came from drawing.

3116
03:09:26,960 --> 03:09:42,960
