On April 8, 1975, the New York Islanders faced the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden for game one of the preliminary round of the 1975 NHL playoffs.
The Islanders were coached by Al Arbor and were in the playoffs for the first time in the franchise's three-year history.
The Rangers were coached by Emil Francis and were looking for better success in the playoffs than in the past,
despite finishing with more than 90 points in each of the past seven seasons.
They only made it to the Stanley Cup finals once when they lost to the Bruins in 1972.
This audio recording is from the radio broadcast featuring announcers Marv Albert and Sal Massina.
Thank you, Sal. And tonight's game is brought to you by Shaefe Revere, by Bristol Myers, makers of Vitelus,
by the people of Eastern Airlines, by manufacturers Hanover Trust, and by Quennails Laboratories, makers of Alka-Seltzer.
Tonight, game one of the best of three Stanley Cup playoff series between the New York Rangers and the New York Islanders.
Right now, Karl Martin on the public address running down the Sturdy Monarchs.
Here are the officials hitting the ice. The referee tonight will be Wally Harris,
and the linesman Leon Stickle and Bob Mungers will return after this word from Eastern Airlines.

The New York Rangers have hit the ice, and it will be Ed Chalkin and in goal for the Rangers,
the fighting two-hour left in this first period. Eddie, in the regular season, finished at 3.48 over 37 games,
allowed 120 goals, came up with one shutout.
For the New York Adidas, who will be hitting the ice in custom, it will be Glenn Rett.
He has 2.47 during the course of the regular season, over 25 games, about 59 goals,
and has a 7.53. The Adidas have moved the way through the last two times up.
This past Sunday here at the Garden, by the score of 6 to 4, that's the Adidas' first victory ever at Madison Square Garden.
And last Saturday at the Nassau Coliseum, by the same score of 6-4.
Rangers and Adidas have met six times this season. Rangers have won three, the Adidas have won two.
One game ended in a tie, lifetime. These two clubs have met 17 times, with the Rangers winning 13,
the Adidas winning three, and they play that one tie.
Here at the Garden, the Rangers have beaten the Adidas seven times, and there's been one Adidas victory and the one tie.
Those nine games here at the Garden, the Rangers outscored the Adidas by a margin of 38 goals to 17.
Billy Faburn with nine goals is the Rangers' leading lifetime goal scorer against the New York Islanders.
So in a series like this, in that it is a best two out of three,
you hear the boos from the New York Islanders as they hit the ice with my goaltender, Glenn Rich.
In a series like this, best two out of three, I would have to say that, of course we won't know until we look back after it's all over,
that first goal tonight could be immense.
Especially the type of hockey the Islanders play, a defensive type of game.
If they should score the first goal, it'll be to their advantage, I think.
The Rangers, of course, play a good defensive game when they're on, and they've been on.
Atlanta, a perfect example, I mentioned this on the pregame show, the Rangers actually went out down 2-0 on Friday night
and came up with three goals playing a defensive type of hockey, except for the one power play goal.
Of course, you're all out offensively. And the big fact of them all is the goaltender.
The hot goaltender in a three-game series, we talk about a hot goaltender in a seven-game series,
but a three-game series is a patchy for a goaltender, really, if you can stay hot,
and you play one hot game, you have the psychological advantage, and that can keep going.
And a best of three, very, very little operating room. In other words, no room at all full of mistakes.
We're in game five of a seven-game series is what it amounts to.
Okay, both clubs lined up at their blue lines. Here's the playing and singing of our national anthem.
The national anthem.
So, no question, the crowd is sky-high tonight.
This shades of Nick playoff time when the crowd begins its chant during the last bars of the national anthem.
And they were up, Marv, but that's the loudest pregame roar I've ever heard here at the Garden.
At this place, of course, it's a larger place than the old Garden, where the crowd noise doesn't get as loud.
At all of Nick games, it's tremendous, but that's the loudest I've heard the crowd try to face off.
Decibel level here at the start at the Garden is way up there.
As we get set for the opening faceoff, referee Willie Harris standing between Andre St. Laurent and the others, John Rotel and the Rangers.
And the Rangers control it. Grant Park back at his blue line, throws it ahead for John Rotel.
Rotel to center, Rod Gilbert left, shoots in, knocked back the other way, then a whistle for an offside against the Rangers.
Amell Francis starting out with Rotel at center, Gilbert on the right, Vickers left, Nick Beverly, Grant Park on the back line.
Al Arbor with an immediate line change to get the line he wants, and that is Jude Pruitt at center for Ed Westfall on the right side.
J.P. Parisi on the left, and it's Jerry Hart and Dennis Punchman back.
Faceoff to go by the Rangers again, Park takes it back at the Ranger line.
Grant Park slides it ahead for Beverly. Beverly up across the red line, shoots in across the out of the line, picked off by Gilbert,
jumped down the play, put in by Rotel, angle shot is way off on the rebound, it's Park at the right point, dumps it back behind the out of the net.
Rotel chasing in the corner with Westfall, Westfall tries to clear, cannot, kept in by Beverly, back hands it into the corner to Vickers,
passed put in front, Rotel knocked away. Vickers after, takes a check from Hart, he and Rotel come together,
but still is in the corner, Vickers in front, the dropout, but he could not get the stick on the bouncing puck,
could not get the stick down, and the out of the line is moving up by Ceres Pruitt, oversteering at center,
but stolen by Rotel, he's up for the out of the line, moving in on Hart, a drop for Park goes into the drive,
and is blocked by Punchman going down to his knee, picked off by Pruitt, shoots it ahead to the right wing, Westfall with Parisi coming on the left,
Westfall fires in, right side of Jockerman, played by Parisi, angle drive off the mark, kept alive by Westfall,
flips over to Punchman, the angle of shot goes wide with Parisi, screening Jockerman, takes a hard check from the Jockerman,
Parisi traces it down to the corner now, he's shot by Park, now Park hit by Pruitt, and steals, he throws to the side of it at the Westfall,
in front, Parisi knocked away from him, picked off by Rotel, loses on a stick check, Beverly has behind the net,
he loses to Pruitt, hard contact between Pruitt and Beverly, back behind the Ranger goal, puck's central to the corner now,
it is taken by Jockerman, loses to Parisi, out to the point, Punchman on the screen, a shot, flips, they fade, and covered up by Jockerman,
a lot of pushing and dribbling in front of it, once again with Beverly and Westfall and Pruitt getting involved,
the Outers throwing a pretty fair attack on Ed Jockerman here at the start, we are a minute 40 in to period number one, no score,
and a face off coming up, right side of the Ranger net.
Ed Jockerman talking with Wally Harris now, he thought he was interfered by Druin, pushed Druin out, he was off balance,
a shot almost coming from the point, catching Jockerman unaware, Eddie with a couple of good saves, Druin, Parisi, Westfall,
doing a lot of digging, keeping the Rangers pinned in their end.
Now both clubs make line changes, Rangers go with Walter Kajuk at center for Derek Sanderson and Bill Fairburn,
Bob Bourne steps out with Trent Gillies on the left, Billy Harris right off the face, it is controlled by the Rangers,
Greshner whips it around the boards for Sanderson, stick checked away by Marshall,
but loose at the far side, taken back by Sanderson, he moves behind the Ranger net,
Sanderson watched by the forechecking Bourne, starts up with a flip from O'Rourke, back the other way now Greshner,
he moves to center, eludes the check of Lewis and then throws it away, picked off by Harris at the end of the line,
he is bottled up by Kajuk, Kajuk stick checks it onto the stick of Greshner, but as Greshner throws in,
Fairburn ahead of the play and offside and they'll bring it back.
Both clubs have come out flying, both clubs digging hard, a lot of body contact here in the early moments,
we are scoreless with 2-0-5 gone by, Kajuk will go on this face off against Bourne,
they face outside the New York Islander blue line, it is Glenn Resch defending 2-hour right and Ed Schachman 2-hour left,
Rangers skate left to right and the Islanders right to left, Lewis controls the face for the Islanders,
cross-ice to Marshall, he is in heavy traffic, winds it around the boards, Ballewas tries to clear out,
he cannot, Kajuk keeps it, he is sent us on the slot, a shot, stick to side by Resch, on the rebound,
Fairburn comes together with Gillies in the corner, Kajuk comes over to work it free,
throws it onto the point, Marrott cannot get to it, it is knocked aside by Harris,
now Harris throws it out of the outer zone, he is tied up there, good checking by this,
the trick line now, back pass for Marshall and Islander Rice ahead Ballewas,
shoots it ahead to center out of Bourne, Bourne up to the range of line, throws it in,
soft shot, stick to side by Schachman and cleared out, hard check by Gillies on Sanders and as Fairburn cuts in,
takes the lead from Kajuk but he is ahead of the play and offside, so they will bring it back, face off coming up at center,
South, Billy Harris on the last Islander, Rush trying to get behind the defense and Greshner trying to push him offside on a play,
Kajuk checking back on the play, picking up the loose puck and Waller looks like his old self playing with those skates,
he has had a lot of opportunities where he has po-checked the puck away from him,
one opportunity from Billy Harris, still able to move the puck with the skates.
On the face off, Rangers control once again, Park takes, holds it away from the forechecking Bourne,
ahead now to center to Fairburn, a lead for Sanderson as he straddles the out of the line,
he takes a check from Hart and goes flying and Putman comes up with the puck,
circles deep in his own end, comes off the board, Hart tries to keep it,
Kanaan is batted all the way down by Gillies, across the Ranger goal line, backboard Beverly, a whistle for Ising and they'll bring it back.
Would you like to know how to pay for something special when you haven't got the cash?
Well, just apply for command credit at Manufacturers' Hanover.
Now with it you have a pool of money you can borrow from for emergencies or those buys of a lifetime, simply by writing a personal check.
Command credit for Manufacturers' Hanover, it all adds up to a convenient way to pay for things when you haven't got the cash.
Manufacturers' Hanover, it's banking the way you want it to be, remember FDIC, equal opportunity lender.
On the face off, deep in out of the ice, sent back for Howard, the out of the goal line, Hart there for the out of the,
comes off the boards intended for Howard, but it's off the mark and it carries all the way down across the Ranger goal line,
Park backboard, watched by the forechecking St. Laurent, tosses it ahead, now Stamkowski winning at center, shoots in,
it's deflected off to the right of Gresh, bounds behind him now, makes the stick stump for Hart, who throws it on the new boards for Howard.
Howard out of the zone, moving on Park at center, shoots it ahead, stumped by the skates of Park, kicked away by St. Laurent,
back past Iceberg, was intercepted by Stamkowski, throws it the other way, but inattentively, unattentively throws it deep in his own territory.
Stamkowski comes over, looking to pin, Park is pushed along the boards and now the puck is pinned in, and play is called.
Rangers almost got caught because Middleton fell down, but pass from Stamkowski intended for Middleton,
and it ends up a frozen puck deep in Ranger ice, making for a face off to the right side of Chalkamon.
Both teams, the defensemen making the plays in the offensive zone, the Ounters did it a couple of times,
Brad Falk and Gresh are trying it, this time Jerry Hart keeping the puck in the Ranger end, intercepting that Stamkowski pass.
Now the face between Stamkowski and St. Laurent, to the left of Chalkamon, comes to the point, Lewis a slap,
knocked aside by the stick of Beverly, Beverly chases along with Nicebun,
heart check issued by Nicebun on Beverly who rolls it around to the near side, now Park fires ahead,
and here's Stamkowski on the rush to center, up across the outer of the line, he's hauled down, and a penalty upcoming.
Stamkowski hauled down, and Wally Harris with the call, it is a trip against the Islanders.
What a move by Peter Stamkowski, taking the breakout pass from Middleton,
between a Ranger blue line and a center red line, caught Marshall committing himself,
he was breaking for the hole between Marshall and Lewis, Marshall tried to cover up the hole,
Stamkowski broke outside, and had not Marshall brought him down, Stemma would have been in on the breakaway.
A trip on Burt Marshall, 4-0-4, and the Rangers have the man advantage right here,
they go with Bertell at center, Vickers left, Faburn right, Park and Gilbert are back,
elsewhere at the back, still second period, Boston leading Chicago 3-0,
two of the goals scored within nine seconds of the second period by Ken O'Faddey,
and LeBray Savard, and St. Louis leading Pittsburgh 2-0,
later on Toronto will play the Kings in LA, here's the face,
and out of the way, controlled by the Rangers, Park at the left point,
ahead it goes to the far side for Vickers, back pass, center for Gilbert, deflects away,
recovered by Faburn, close to the near court, blue Faburn circles, back to the right for Gilbert,
he shoots, it goes wide, bounce over the board, kept in by Park, then knocked aside,
and Westmore troops to center, has a two on one with Heading, Heading in across the Ranger line,
Heading shoots, blocked, rebound, Heading across, doubled up by Chakraman, and kicked off by Gilbert,
now here come the Rangers to center, a pass for Rattelle, he's to the out of the line,
takes a heart check from Parkman, breaking up the play very well,
and Heading comes up with a loose puck again, moves to center, he is checked in on the board by Park,
who stops it and Faburn takes it away, now Faburn moving along the far side,
he is met by Heading, Heading all over Faburn, they battle, now it is picked off by Park,
Park's to candles to center, right wing feed, Chaubert, head for Rattelle,
ahead of the play, offside, and they'll bring it back, a minute 10 remaining on that island,
penalty to Burke Marshall, we have no score, first period, and no question, Sal,
playoff hockey at its very best right here, and we're only five minutes in,
but a lot of excitement, both clubs are hitting, both clubs are skating,
and now one lucky break, Rob, Heading is Westmore, iced the puck, the puck deflecting off referee,
or Lionsman Leon Stickle, setting up that island of two on one,
break away, and he, Roger O'Bear, making the save, a great save on the shot by Heading,
on the face off outside the out of the line, it comes to center, Chaubert, stick handles with it,
cuts left on Westmore, leaves for Park, a return for Chaubert, Rangers try to get this power play going,
now Chaubert goes in with a slap, that is blocked, and it bounds out of the zone,
off the skate of Park, and taken up center by Park, 50 seconds remaining on that Burke Marshall penalty,
here's Chaubert, up to the red line, a hit, Faburn crosses the out of the blue line, breaks wide,
sends in Ford, and an almost beat Glenn Rush, it was actually a pass,
and Rush was able to pick it off out of the air, with Rattelle weaving his stick in front,
and what a tough play that was for Rush, that puck in the air going towards his feet,
and he didn't know whether to reach down or not, Rattelle waving his stick, if he reached down too soon,
and Rattelle does deflect it, it's bye bye, it'll go over his shoulder,
now Rattelle will go against Westmore, facing left side of the islander net,
42 seconds on the penalty, on the face, Heading takes, and quickly clears all the way down ice,
in one motion he snaps it to the right side of Jock, and he snaps it now,
for Gilbert, half minute remaining on that penalty, Gilbert wheels it around the boards for Faburn,
Faburn met by the check of Park, loses control, if the range allow Rattelle recovers,
goes cross ice, a wild pass, Park has to take and back skate away from Heading,
Adler's doing a good job, Heading the ranger's in, now here's Park up to center,
a lead for Rattelle, can't handle it, slides off his stick, Park chases it down,
moves back to the other net, hoops it around the boards, Faburn keeps it up the near side,
Faburn is turned around by Heading, looks to get it out, cannot,
Joback comes over to work free, out it goes to Rattelle, there's a wide open shot,
the snub shooter steps to Park, he shoots, it is deflected and falls short,
clamped down by the goaltender, Rush, and he holds on, Rattelle had the open shot,
but got the pastures left to Park, and Park's shot was a good one, but someone got a piece of it,
and slowed it down, allowing for the cover up by Rush, and that does it for the Burt Markville penalty.
The tennis pot middle got the piece of the shot by Brad Park, deflected it enough,
where Steve Vickers, who was making his effort, or a run in front of Rush,
in order to screen him out on the original shot, went right past the puck,
puck just dribbling to Glenn Rush.
Now Stamkowski steps on with Irvin on the left, Middleton right,
Marotte and Greshner are back on the face off, St. Laurent for the outlander,
shoots it out of the zone, played by Greshner at center,
flicks it back to the outlander line, and then Dave Lewis fires it out to the ranger line,
Marotte takes there, a lead off the ice, and tenor for Stamkowski,
intercepted by the outlanders, now Lewis starts up on the near board,
Lewis to center, throws it ahead, but it's broken up by Stamkowski,
makes the turn, leads Middleton, broken up nicely by Howitt,
snapping it back out to center ice, Marotte takes there, and guns in,
but Stamkowski and Middleton both ahead of the play and offside.
Let's break for this message from Alka Seltzer.
Alka Seltzer brings you a message from the old one too.
Well, your first flat in fifteen years, so you're holding up traffic for miles,
and your wife is waiting with your favorite dinner, burnt lasagna.
We'll be right there with the old one too.
Alka Seltzer, let's get out of here!
For aches and pains with upset stomach, try Alka Seltzer with specially buffered aspirin plus antacids,
use only as directed. It gives the old one too, the old one too.
Off the face, puck, loose along the boards, then a slap by Middleton as he works it free,
goes wide out of the flexion and rolls around.
Nice from Irvine, come together at the far side, doing some pretty good bumping as the puck is cleared out of the zone.
Middleton takes it center, ahead for Greshner.
Greshner rushing to the outer line, a drop for Irvine, knocked away by St. Laurent,
and he shoots it out to center. Howitt, a hard check on Middleton in front of the outer bench,
but as that puck crosses the outer line, Rangers ahead of the play and offside,
and they'll bring it back. Face off now, outside the out of the blue line.
This afternoon, as you heard here on WNEW, the Mets got off well behind Tom Siever.
Goed out only six hits, the Mets beat the Phillies 2-1.
Dave Kingman hit a home run, and the Mets open up with a victory.
The Yankees beaten by the Indians in Cleveland 5-3 this afternoon.
A successful managerial debut for Frank Robinson, who also having a flare for the dramatic hit a home run
and his first out foul as a designated hitter.
We gave the NHL playoff scores, the other action a moment ago,
and the NBA, the Knicks playing at Houston, they're underway a couple of minutes ago,
and Detroit at Seattle later start.
The Nets off on the ABA, the one playoff game, Memphis at Kentucky.
On the face off, at center, Kachuk slides it ahead, Marshall controls,
ahead it goes now to Harris, breaks in across the Ranger line, jumps in left side of Chakamit.
Harris with a hard check on Park, but Park gets to the puck.
Now Park cuts to his right, with Stolus first period, 12 and a half a minute.
Park up to center, a lead for Kachuk, who backhands it in,
a roll, a right side of Rush, strays out to stop it, steers behind the nut for Harris.
Harris starts on the middle side, loses to Folbert on a stick check, throws it in front,
Kachuk cannot get to it, Phillies does, and starts up three man rush, three Rangers back,
a flip on the right for Bourne, back pass, Harris shot, goes wide.
Intended deflection by Phillies was off the mark, and then it's pinned in the corner,
Gillies and Kachuk holding it in, and play is called.
So face off now, keeping the ring for ice.
No Ranger winger going, back on the play, and Gillies left all alone on that shot from the point.
Chakamit, I think, may have gotten just a little piece of it to deflect it in the corner,
had that shot been a little lower, a lot of trouble for the Rangers.
Defensive makes a play in the corner, leaving that side of the ice open,
and Billy Faburn, who was the right winger, was out covering the point,
had a drift back to help out in front of that net.
Bruin and Ratel on the face now, controlled by Greshner circling at the near side,
hit by Parisi, but throws it ahead.
Vickers cutting it on the left wing, overskates, and Westfall able to bat it back out of the zone.
Played up center now by Gilbert. Gilbert circles, behind the back,
Ratel crosses the out of the line, returns to Gilbert at the right point,
looks to go cross-ice, but it's broken up by Bruin, back forward at center is Marat.
Marat for the Rangers goes cross-ice to Gilbert, Gilbert down the center slot,
he's up to the out of the line with a shot that has deflected wide, left side of Gresh,
hard backboard in the corner, twists it around the boards,
it is taken by Westfall at the far side, checked by Ratel as he sends to center to Druin.
A lead on the left wing, Parisi across the Ranger line,
checked hard by Greshner, loses control, the puck loose in the corner now,
Greshner is there, along with Parisi, Parisi looks to set up,
centering attempt knocked away by the stick of Chalkamon,
and it comes to Gilbert at the near side and Ranger ice,
shoots it out of the zone, but it's played up center by Dennis Putnam of the Onidas.
Ahead now Parisi, taken out of the play by Marat,
Parisi keeps going, catches over to the corner, centering feed,
intercepted by Gilbert, and he starts up.
Here's Gilbert at the center, feet on the right,
Parikers on the off-wing, goes over the slap that is blocked by Hart,
it pumps high in the air, rolls loose in the slot, still loose,
Hartman dumped by Marat, and Hart comes up on the puck.
Ahead to the left wing, Parisi shoots it out to center, intercepted by Greshner,
Greshner around it through, and as both clubs change on the go,
here's Greshner on the rush to the out of the line,
pass mark, tries to penetrate, but it's turned around on the play by Putnam,
and the puck cleared to the near side.
Hart checked hard on the corner by Putnam as he clears all the way down.
It's across the Ranger blue line, how it and Marat come together,
they get to it at the same time, deflecting off their string,
and through the crowd, the play is called.
Couple of good checks, first by Gilles Marat on Dennis Putnam,
and Butler in the corner on Hart,
and the one on Putnam was a situation where the puck was up in the air
as if you're holding two balls and throw one up in the air,
as he's looking at that when you throw another ball or you hit the man,
and that's exactly what happened to Putnam.
For example, Billy Fairbury not covering up in front,
the last Allender rush, Roger L'Bair taking the man in front,
as Fairbury did not.
On the face, Burt Marshall, a slap from the point,
is stopped by the pads of Jockemet, comes to the corner,
Butler is really ripped by Saint Laurent as the Rangers clear it out of the zone.
Played up center by Howard, checked by Stankowski ahead,
Neistrom as he throws it in, left side of Jockemet, chased down by Pevely,
he's hit by Neistrom, Pevely cuts to the near side,
and Pevely looks to clear out, cannot get him by Howard,
his drive is wide, out of deflection,
and now the puck picked up behind the net by Park, Park starting up,
Park ahead now for Pevely, Pevely is up to center,
a lead for Stankowski, and across the line, but a whistle for an offside.
Things are getting very testy out there now,
so just a moment ago, Neistrom and Urban collided, landed on each other at center ice,
neither would let the other get up,
and then finally when Urban was able to pull away, took a couple of shoves from Neistrom.
Neistrom throwing a little glove hand on Urban's face.
Stankowski on the face with Saint Laurent, controlled by the Onidas in their own end,
Lewis on the left defense starts up, he carries to center,
shoots it ahead on the right wing, batted the other way by Urban, who dumps in.
Left side of the islander net, picked up by Burt Marshall,
throws to center ice now to Saint Laurent, he's watched by Park,
Saint Laurent spins away back to his blue line,
and then sends out the right defense for Marshall, back to Saint Laurent,
off his stick, rolls to Park at the range of line, and he sends ahead.
Now the Rangers move up, Stankowski to the red line, shoots in, left side of Glenn Rush,
chased down to the corner by Lewis, hit hard by Butler,
and we have a penalty upcoming, penalty upcoming against the Rangers.
Neistrom starts up, the extra pull it on, here's a pass for Marshall,
Marshall cuts in, but we get a whistle with an outbreak in the corner.
Howard and Urban are going at each other, in the corner,
now Neistrom comes flying over, and let's see what is occurring in the corner,
we're completely screened out, I saw Urban kind of shove Howard away,
and that's the last I saw of both as they both hit the ice,
to our right, and Dave Lewis and Jerry Butler, who are the guys who started it all,
are now doing some pushing and shoving with the referee Wally Harris,
trying to separate them.
The last I saw before they went down, Bob, was Teddy Urban pushing Howard down
and getting on top of him, and we can't see any more after that.
Howard's helmet's off, and I saw Urban grab for Howard's head as he was going down,
and I think that's what he was looking for, to take off Howard's helmet.
Take off his head, sir?
Yeah, it's tough standing on a table, Bob.
From what we saw, it did not appear that any hard punchers were landed,
as they ended up wrestling down to the ice.
I think we're going to see Urban, Howard go in, and probably Butler,
who was going to draw that original penalty.
The Boston Brawns now lead the Chicago Blackhawks 6-0.
And the second period, Bruins 6-0, up on the Boston guy.
Well, Blackhawks going through the playoffs the same way they played the year, Bob.
They had a disappointing year. They've had a lot of injuries also with Bill White,
Phil Russell out for a while, White out three-quarters of the season,
and just not the team that they were.
Dennis Hollis played hurt, missed quite a few games down the stretch.
St. Louis over Pittsburgh, 2-0 in the second period.
The Penguins, who have been nearly invincible at home,
are trailing the Blues in the second at home.
Bob, I got a kick out of that, what Carl Martin just said, New York penalties.
It just struck me funny when he said it, we have the two New York teams.
Getting back to St. Louis, I guess you have to be there.
There are the penalties being handed out on the islanders, Gary Howitt,
five minutes per fighting.
Jerry Butler, two minutes per elbowing.
And Ted Irvin gets a five for fighting on a 10-48.
So Irvin and Howitt will be unavailable for the next five minutes.
Those two penalties will not affect player strength on ice,
but Jerry Butler's elbowing penalty will,
and so the islanders have the man advantage for two minutes.
Time of the penalty, 10-48.
Let's pause right here for station identification.
This is WNEW in New York.
Now we broadcast these games for your enjoyment,
and also my show, the Gene Clavin show, from 5.30 to 10.
Marv, if you need help, I'm here.
Okay, Gene, play back in off the faceoff.
Rangers can follow that on it.
And Beveley takes and shoots it all the way down.
Fairburn after it in the corner, along with Dennis Potman.
They come together.
Now Potman cuts back behind his net, trickles it over to brother John.
Back the other way to Dennis.
Standing back behind the islander net, now he starts up.
The islanders have the man advantage.
We're scoreless, first period, 8.45 for Manny.
Bourne to center, back pass for Potman.
Has to start it all over again.
This is Dennis handling it at center.
Now cross-ice to John Potman, and he dumps it in.
Left side of Jockeman, and he steers it behind the net.
Park is there, checked by Bourne.
Park winds it around for Fairburn, looks to clear and he does.
Throws it past Dennis Potman all the way down.
John Potman back forward.
Walter Kachuk, four checks.
Now John holds up back behind the net and regroups the foul play

But as you said Bob, the pass up in the air.
Rotel swiping at it and Rush had the angle completely.
The combination of Ed Westphal and Lauren Heading.
One of the better penalty killing units in the National Hockey League.
They have done the job throughout the season.
Westphal and Heading remain on the face off.
It's sent to the air boards. Heading is after it.

first period of hockey. The score

In just a moment, right here, let's pause for this,
from Schaeffer.
["Shaper is a One Beer to Have"]
Schaeffer is a one beer to have.
Now here's a word from the number one beer in New York.
Hey Schaeffer, here's a one beer to have
when you're having more than one.
New York is full of landmarks.
Battery, Washington Square, Shea Stadium,
and over on Kent Avenue in Brooklyn,
there's another landmark, the Schaeffer Brewery.
Since 1842, there's always been a Schaeffer Brewery
in New York.
Because New York has always liked Schaeffer's way,
tasting first beer hood, beer after beer, year after year.
Schaeffer's a beer born and brewed right here in New York.
It's New York's number one beer.

Where between periods one and two at Madison Square Garden,
Rangers at out of this meeting and game,
where the best of three playoff series,
Rangers and Out of This are students at the end of one.
And let's do the sound.
Thank you, Marvin.
My guests, all between the first and second part,
Rangers, the freshman, Darrell Alford,
and I'm the fan of the pregame show, Darrell.
Everybody around here just rushing in the mover
and come up those steps.
And there's only about five or six steps,
but you have the clutches,
an injury that I'm sure all these fans remember.
One of the most serious ones that I've ever seen
looking from the stands or down on the ice,
your foot was at a complete right angle from your leg.
And we knew then right at that moment,
you had a broken ankle.
A broken ankle and the expression on your face,
I have to say that was the most painful injury
you've ever received playing hockey.
Yes, it was, Sal.
As far as describing the pain, it was,
well, you can't describe it.
It was just, it was unbearable.
And as far as the accident, it was a very freakish thing.
I've never seen it before.
I hope I never see it again.
I don't know if I hit something on the ice.
I would have to assume the ice gave
or I hit a crack in the ice.
And I just hit the boards full speed
or pretty well full speed.
And as I hit it, I felt the ankle go.
I heard the snap, could feel it all through my body.
And it was just one of those things.
That's a terrible thing,
but I think it could be avoided.
You fall into the, you do, you've many times, I know,
of skating, maybe not at full speed.
That time you were really going full kilter.
You had made the turn completely around the net
from the left side of the ice around, behind the net,
going up the right side of the ice, of course,
as you were going into the offensive zone,
but you were coming back out.
And you've gone into the boards many times before.
And I think you have a certain reaction
that you would do when you're prepared for it,
a certain way to go into the boards
in a situation like that.
I don't think you had the time to prepare for that one.
No, I didn't, Sal.
It happened so quick.
Usually you can feel yourself going
and you can react a little bit.
You know, they're kind of break the fall a little bit
or as you hit the boards, you're coming back up.
But this happened so quick.
I hit the boards full force.
And like I said before, the ankle snapped.
I could feel it go.
I heard it go.
And when I finally got my senses more or less
when I was lying on the ice,
I could see the foot was at one angle
and the leg was at the complete opposite angle.
And then I knew, well, actually I knew before it happened
that it was a very serious thing.
Now, you yourself have had examinations again.
What actually happened as far as that?
What is the medical report right up to this moment?
Well, yesterday I had the cast taken off.
The medical report is the break.
Like I broke the bone in my leg.
My leg was broken also.
It is not healed.
Where the bone come through the ankle,
it's not healed completely yet.
So it'll just be a matter of time.
And I'm getting a brace fitted.
It's like a polio brace.
You get an Oxford shoe and you
you rivet the brace through the shoe.
So the ankle will not go either way.
Twist.
It'll just be a matter of a month or two months
or whatever until the ankle gets strong.
If it's gonna heal right,
then the break in the leg heals right.
Plus there was another crack in the other side of the bone
of the leg bone.
It's just a combination of a lot of things
and a lot of time.
And I just hope God willing everything's fine.
We certainly hope so.
We hope to see you Dale skating again.
That's for sure.
Next training camp.
Dale getting into the hockey game.
Islanders and Rangers.
That first period I saw it as a couple of gambles
that I noticed a couple of the defensemen taking
a couple of the forwards even taking them.
But Dale yourself, I don't think,
well you may have played in the two out of three series
say in the American league.
I know National Hockey League hasn't seen
a two out of three series since the early forties.
Do you think this puts a greater amount
of pressure on the players?
No, I don't think so.
As far as pressure goes in the playoffs,
speaking personally to myself,
I just love playoffs.
I always seem to play my best hockey in playoffs.
I enjoy playoffs.
Whether it's the money or what,
because we all love money or the pride,
the prestige or what, I don't know.
But as far as pressure,
I don't think there is that much pressure.
You know, unless, I don't know, maybe I'm different.
I've talked to myself a lot.
Which maybe.
Now you get rid of it.
Yeah right, I don't know.
What do you say?
I ask myself a lot of questions.
Oh, how about this guy?
How come this guy's doing this to me?
This guy's taking money out of my pocket, why?
You know, and then over the season,
you know, he asks himself a few questions,
but during the playoffs,
he really asks himself a lot of questions
and why is this happening and why let's make this happen.
And I think if you really talk to yourself,
there's no pressure.
I have to think about that one, you know.
When I do it at the other pressure situations outside
of ice, I have to think about that one.
I'll talk to myself for a little bit.
You know, another thing, this series ranges Islanders.
My point of view, Islanders are new clubs.
Third year in the league, they made their playoffs.
Ranges the established club and of course,
getting a lot of flack from the fans in the past
in nine years, no Stanley Cup,
nine straight years in the playoff.
Do you think that is an advantage
to the Islanders coming in here?
Well, the Islanders lose well, they're a new club.
They expect it to lose, but if the Rangers should lose,
a lot more can be said.
Well, that's very true.
As far as losing the Islanders, I don't think we will,
but if they happen to beat us,
it's a very good pat on the back for them.
But like I said, I don't think they're going to beat us.
And people expect a lot from us
because we're an established club.
We have the depth, we have the goal-tenning,
we've got everything.
So, but we never win that seventh game.
So who knows?
Well, the seventh game, a one goal decision last year,
it wasn't the finals, it was the semifinals.
And that's such a fine line when you really get down
and what people say, well, you lost four out of seven.
And I'm not saying this as an alibi,
but when you go out on the ice and one team's going to win
and one team's going to lose,
this business of choke, to me, you telling yourself
to get rid of the pressure by, as you say,
talking to yourself.
I think the term choke is way out the window.
When you have a game, you could,
one particular instance, maybe you,
you're not thinking about making a mistake
while you're out there, that's for sure.
No, definitely not.
These people that, and there's a minority
that says we're choking,
we're choking, I don't think you could really call them
true fans or whatever, whoever's saying it.
Well, I was referring to the general term choke,
not only to the Rangers point of view,
but for any point of view, any player out on the ice
in a fast game such as hockey,
you don't have the time to think of it.
That's true, you know, it's a very fast game.
You're out there, you're doing your best, you want to win.
You know, you think to yourself, you have to win.
And if you lose in the seventh game of a quarterfinal
or a semi-final or the finals,
I think you can walk out of any building in the world
with your head high and say, I've done my best.
You know, I always think as long as you can look in the mirror
and talk to yourself and ask yourself,
look at your family and yourself in the mirror
and the public, as you're walking out of the rink,
they say, way to go, or you play the rotten or whatever,
it's up to themselves.
But if you can walk out with your head held high,
I think you've done a hell of a job.
Yeah, you're talking to yourself again.
Are you going to use that?
I'm a little excited for that, too.
What do you see here in this series?
We played one through a pretty tight checking period.
Yeah, it was kind of a nothing period.
They were kind of feeling each other out,
which, you know, it's just a figure of speech.
But I think you'll see the Rangers start to open up
a little bit, put a little pressure on them,
just see what these guys can take,
you know, in the playoff situation.
Dale, go tending to me the biggest part of a short series.
We always say that about a seven game series.
I'm sure you players think of it the same way.
What do you see here?
Well, I see we have Eddie Dockman and Jill Villamere,
Don Wilson.
We have a very, very good go tending system on our club.
I think we've got the age and experience and ability.
The Islanders are a young club.
They're good skating.
They forecheck well.
They've got one good goaltender.
The other guy, who knows?
I'm going to put you on a limb.
Which one is the good one?
I have a fellow playing tonight.
All right.
In my opinion, which means that I just wanted to know.
You said they had one good goaltender.
I wanted your opinion on it.
Right.
Well, this guy Smith, he gets beats and long shots
once in a while.
But so do ours once in a while.
So who knows?
Dale Ralph, really we wish you the best of luck in recuperating
and taking care of the injury.
Thanks for coming up.
I mean, we thank you for coming up.
You really had a fun getting up here.
Thank you very much.
My pleasure.
Marvellous.
All right, Sal and Paul, Dale Ralph,
we have a Sony AM FM digital clock radio
with push button controls and automatic sleep time.
And the Sony also has illuminated
easy to read clock numerals and a big three inch speaker.
Not just a radio.
It's a Sony.
We'll be back to tell you number two right after this message.
Alka Seltzer brings you a message from the old one too.
So you're in the car.
103.
There are devil carries in the wheel.
Just close your eyes.
Try to get those lumpy pancakes in your stomach.
So be right there with the old one too.
Alka Seltzer, let's get out of here.
For aches and pains with upset stomach,
use Alka Seltzer with specially buffered astro plus
and astro.
Use only as directed.
It gives the old one too, the old one too.

Dale Ralph came up with a tremendous statement.
He talks to himself.
I had great fun with Dale in between periods about that.
Him talking to himself in precious situations
or even after a game.
He enjoys talking to himself.
I feel a great deal of pressure just being with you, Sal.

Referee Wally Harris straddling the goal line.
Waved it off right away.
The goal judge, a neutral official from Philadelphia as are all the game officials here.
Did not turn on the light.

Maybe Chalkam did get a glove on it.
I was about to give it the score call.

the old one two.
Rotella's on now with Vickers and Gilbert,
Park and Beverly are back,
West ball of Rotella on the face,
played by Park at the point,
his shot scores.
Well they went 31 minutes 49 seconds,
and the Reapers have jumped in front
by the score of one nothing.
Steve Vickers was captain too,
and we'll have to wait and see
if he got a piece of it,
and that's for the case
many many times this season,
and he or Dennis Potvin,
Potvin tying up Vickers
to the right of Resch,
it deflected off one of those two
and went in,
at the winning of the face off
by Rotella Gilbert,
hesitated,
it looked like he was going to pick up the puck,
finally he just made way for Park
to take the shot.
Face off at center,
the Rangers have scored,
but all at port,
first goal,
we shall see how it port

slides it in front,
Ratel cannot get to it,
it's covered up by Resch,
he holds on and play a stop.
Steve Vickers
did get a piece of that drive
from the point by Brad Park,
so Vickers,
who had the sensational regular season,
with most of his scoring coming from in front
of the opposition net,
coming up with 41 goals,
48 assists during the course of the regular season,
has come up with goal number one,
right here,
Clark and Ratel pick up the assists,
and the Rangers lead one over another,
face shot by Butler is off the mark,
late behind the net by Lewis,
Lewis starts up,
a lead intended for Howard,
goes too deep all the way down across the
Ranger goal line,
touched by Greschker,
and we got a whistle for Ising,
so they'll bring it back.
The time of the goal by Vickers,
8-11,
face off coming up now,
deep and out of their ice.
That shot by Jerry Butler off the face off,
Stemmer winning the face off,
reminded me of the one Ron Harris put in,
identical play,
Harris beating Bunny LaRock up in Montreal,
last season this time,
Jerry Butler,
Mr. Cage.
Off the face off,
Stemkowski and St. Laurent on the draw,
loose up the circle,
Stemmer for the far card,
in front to Butler,
his drive goes wide,
Butler in front of the net,
and a one-on-one situation,
but Chuck was off the mark,
announced penalty upcoming,
double penalties being called,
Ted Irvin and Dave Lewis,
are both going off,
Wally Harris setting them both off,
they were tangling in front of the net,
as Butler was able to unleash that
shot from in front,
Jerry is very upset with himself.
He's had two golden opportunities,
both within the last minute,
one on a face off as we just explained,
and this one,
Teddy Irvin and Peter Stemkowski,
getting that fuck out the butler,
who was all alone in front of Resch,
Resch may have had enough time to just cut
that angle down on him on.
Number 25, the island,
Dave Lewis,
Dave Lewis and Ted Irvin,
two minutes apiece,
Lewis for high sticking,
and Irvin also,
for high sticking,
nine to seven,
time of the penalties,
both clubs down a man right now,
Rangers go with Stemkowski and Butler up front,
Greshner on the runner,
back on the face off,
Greshner controls,
comes back to his blue line,
ahead now from the right,
the right,
gives off to Stemkowski,
Stem at the center, shoots in,
gobbled up by Resch,
nearly had trouble with the bouncer,
and then is able to steer it behind the net.
The out of the start up,
Dennis Putnam shoots it ahead now for Stewart,
Stewart at center,
Stewart up across the range of line,
throws it in the corner,
Stemkowski after it,
and clears out of the zone,
Butler on the right foot center,
Butler now up across the out of the line,
he's tied up by Hart,
back pass,
intercepted by Stewart,
he loots the check of Greshner
as he moves to center,
but he's checked up high by Butler,
Butler took a swing at Stewart,
they glared at each other,
play continues,
Dennis Putnam at center,
Christ the Feeder head knocked away by Kachuk,
Putnam is up with it,
checked by Kachuk,
loses control,
this has not been one of the stronger games thus far
for Dennis Putnam,
you hardly realize he's on the ice,
now the puck is sent deep in the ranger ice,
as McFiddlin and Greshner jam each other
on the board,
Rangers are able to clear out,
here's Kachuk to the out of the line
with a drive that is club saved by Gresh,
undecided then decides to hold on,
drops it to the ice,
we saw that maneuver here on Sunday
at an almost cost,
Glenn Rish this time,
they got the whistle from Willie Harris,
and that will make for a face off
in out of the ice.
Final score in Pittsburgh,
Pittsburgh Penguins four,
St. Louis Blues three,
so the Penguins spotted the Blues
that two nothing lead,
and for that goal scoring power that they have,
were able to come from behind
and win the hockey game.
Boston over Chicago in the third,
eight one,
and Toronto and LA later on,
half time in Houston,
Rockets leading the next 46 to 39,

right side of the island of that nine 27,
remaining second period,
Rangers lead one nothing on the goal
by Vickers from Park and Rattell
at eight 11 of the second period,
50 seconds remaining on the double penalties
to Urban and Lewis,
Dennis Potman controls the face,
and starts up,
clicks to the left defense,
the heart spins away from Faber,
and he winds it back to Potman behind the net,
Kachuk all over him,
Potman cuts to his left now right,
splits to start up,
throws it ahead,
intercepted by Park at center,
cross eyes to Ron Harris,
now Harris passed foot up between the legs of Bourne,
but Bourne knocks it aside,
and Hart comes up with it,
a head for Dennis Potman,
sweeps around Kachuk to center,
he's up to the Ranger line,
now looks to start up a leap for Bourne overthrown,
Bourne checked by Ron Harris,
Park lies loose,
Billy Harris takes his slap is wide,
kept in by Dennis Potman at the point,
throws to the corner to Billy Harris,
he moves back behind the Ranger that,
stick handles,
tries to wrap it around,
but it's held up the side of the net by Jokerman,
held it with his right skate,
and play is called,
and that maneuver by Billy Harris almost clicked,
try to wrap around from an impossible angle behind the net,
and Jokerman was able to hold it off with his right skate.
Funny type of play the way that developed,
Mark Dennis Potman had the puck on the right point,
and he was gonna dump it in to the right corner,
up to the left of Jokerman,
he did,
but both Islander players are there,
nobody out in front of the net to throw the puck to,
when Harris picked it up,
Harris had to go to the other side,
Stewart remained in the corner,
not going out in front of the net,
and Harris is more or less,
even though he tried that play,
he had nobody else,
he had to make that play,
had nobody to pass the puck to out in front.
Face off now, right side of the Ranger net,
it'll be drawn,
and Rotel on the draw,
Rotel and Jokerman up front,
Marat Greschner are back,
on the face off,
Rotel is up with it ahead,
it goes for Jokerman, Lewis, and Irvin,
return the lead for Irvin,
breaking has a breakaway cut,
city fake shoots,
saving a beauty by Resch.

stopping Irvin on the breakaway,
as he stepped out of the box.
Now Burt Marshall back behind the net,
Rangers lead at 1-0,
8.15 remaining,
second parry,
pass for Lewis around the boards,
cannot be handled,
slides out to center,
then Greschner backhands it in,
Resch stops it behind the net,
and leads for Marshall,
winds it around for Lewis,
ahead now for Drew,
it moves to center,
ahead for Parisi,
knocked away,
Parisi recovers at the Ranger line,
loses on a poke check,
and it comes to center,
Lewis there,
back pass now for Marshall,
Marshall can't control,
Rattell takes it away,
Rattell up to the outer line with Joe Baer,
a lead for Joe Baer,
Joe Baer cannot get the shot off,
stopped by Marshall,
who whips it back to the near side,
and ends up out of the zone
on the stick of Westmore,
left wing feed for Parisi,
back to Westmore,
across the Ranger line,
intercepted by Greschner,
blows it back behind the Ranger net,
7.5 remaining,
second parry,
Rangers lead 1-0 on the goal by Vickers,
now Greschner starts up,
Greschner moving to his left,
comes off the board,
and it's skipped all the way down ice,
across the outer line,
touch made by Marshall,
and we got a whistle for icing.
Here's a case of no movement,
Vickers standing still at the blue line,
Joe Baer standing still on the other side,
Greschner had made the good defensive play,
got behind the net,
had nobody back to help him out
as he came out with a puck,
so he took the wise way out,
he was gonna make a tough pass along the board,
if it was a deflect on Vickers,
there wouldn't be an icing,
if it doesn't, an icing,
but he was sort of static back there,
had no place to go with the puck.
Face off now,
left side of Ed Jockeman,
that'll be Rattelle against Drewitt,
on the call,
Drewitt in the center,
for Westfall,
and Marisi,
it's sent back behind the Ranger goal line,
Beverly is there,
Beverly spinning on Drewitt,
ahead now for Rattelle,
Rattelle is up in the center,
left wing pass for Vickers,
knocked away,
comes back to center,
Rattelle takes,
Rattelle ahead for Vickers,
and across the out of the line,
as Rattelle is pushed off the puck,
and ends up on the ice,
Drewitt takes it back and shoots in,
a rule that is doubled up by Jockeman,
leaves it for Beverly,
who winds it around the boards,
pass too deep,
Lewis intercepts,
loses on a stick,
check to Rattelle,
ahead now, Joe Baer,
back pass for Beverly,
and the Rangers start up,
Beverly to center ice,
and then loops one in,
looks to the left by Rich,
puts it on the ice,
and swings it around the boards to Parisi,
goes cross ice for Westball,
and the tempo of this game has slowed down,
after the furious start,
in the first period,
now Westball to the red line,
shoots in,
back behind the net,
Jockeman makes the stick stop,
and leaves for Joe Baer,
Hylander's change out of the move,
as Joe Baer starts up,
6'20 remaining,

checked by Stemkowski,
Heading moves up to center,
and loses on a stick check to Irvin,
a back pass for Park,
Park spinning in his own head,
away from Heading,
comes to the near board,
now Park comes back the other way,
Heading all over,
Park moves back behind his net,
Heading looks to follow up there,
Park standing behind the net,
leaves for Stemkowski,
Stemmer starts up on the right board,
throws it out to center,
but it's taken by Heading,
loses on a stick check to Beverly,
Beverly fires to the out of the line,
but it's an easy intercept for Park,
Parms ahead for McMillan,
modeled up by Park Butler,
takes it away,
ahead to Stemkowski at center,
and he shoots it to the out of the line,
intercepted by John Putman,
Putman on the rush to the range of line,
loses control,
Irvin moves after to McConaugh,
along with Putman,
they combine to freeze him,
and play is gone.
Well, now that there's a break in the action,
a good time to remind you about new
Ultrabad Super Dry Anti-Perspirant,
Ultrabad Super Dry not only sprays on really dry,
it's also more effective in helping stop wetness.
That's right, tests have shown that Ultrabad Super Dry
will help stop wetness better than Lake Yard,
are an extra dry, soft and dry, and dial.
They're all good,
but tests have shown new Ultrabad Super Dry is better.
So why not try an anti-perspirant
that is more effective in helping you stay dry.
New Ultrabad Super Dry on the face-off,
jammed on the corner,
work free now by Beverly,
winds it around,
Park flags it down from the point,
looks to set up,
gives off to Howitt,
Howitt at the far board,
throws in front,
broken up by Beverly,
can't clear out,
Potman keeps in,
into the corner to Meisgram,
Meisgram with a shot,
stick to side by Chokovet,
with much traffic in front,
and then Fairburn sends ahead to Cachuk.
A lead at center,
Sanderson fakes the slap,
and Dennis Potman sticks,
checks it away.
Here's Potman back to center,
Potman up to the range line,
fade on the right for Meisgram,
breaks in back behind the goal line,
throws out now to the far post,
the Potman, a shot goes wide out of the flexion,
chased down by Saint Laurent,
knocked away by Sanderson,
Cachuk after it behind the range,
and he's turned around by Meisgram,
but he's able to wind it around the boards,
and Fairburn,
shoots it out of the zone,
Howitt back board over,
skates forward,
takes a lead,
Sanderson is in across,
the out of the line,
cuts in,
he's dragged out from behind,
and a penalty is called.
Penalty upcoming against the Outlanders,
as the puck is bent in,
back behind the out of the net,
Sanderson,
on a beautiful break led by Fairburn,
and a penalty upcoming,
it is a flipping call,
against Dennis Potman.
Potman did what he had to do,
Sanderson had only a backhand opportunity,
no opportunity at all to deke on the play,
had to take the backhand shot,
rush came out,
Potman got his stick on,
Sanderson skates and just pushed,
Derrick going down,
and referee Wally Harris calling the play,
good pass by Billy Fairburn,
a short pass,
just enough for him to beat Jerry Harden,
go in on that break.
15, 9, 15, 27.
15, 27,
the time of a trip by Dennis Potman,
and so,
the Rangers have the man advantage,
they lead it by the score of 1-0.
Derrick Sanderson just skating over to the bench,
Neymar Francis said that should have been a penalty shot,
I have to disagree, Ma,
he did not have a complete break away,
he could not make any other move,
but shoot from where he was,
if you have a break away,
you can deke,
you can shoot,
you have both sides of the net,
to shoot at,
that time he was just there carrying a buck on his backhand,
didn't have enough time to even put it on his forehead.
Rangers continue a mild argument,
with referee Wally Harris now,
assistant captain Rod Jopper,
comes over,
Rangers claiming that it should have been a penalty shot,
and I have to agree with you, South,
nothing clear cut about that,
and I must say also,
that was a true trip on Sanderson,
no swan dive,
off the face Brechner from the right,
makes the slap,
now shoots,
it goes wide on a screened out Brech,
Vickers with the rebound in the corner,
winds it behind the net for Joba,
in front Rattelle,
broken up nicely by Lewis,
but kept alive by Park,
Park comes to the corner,
Vickers takes it back,
Park spinning in the corner,
Park looks to set up,
now Park throws it along the board,
whistle on the play,
pushing and shoving in front of the net,
with Lewis and Joba getting involved,
and a penalty upcoming.
I think they're both going off, both for slashing,
Lewis trying to keep Joba out from the front of the net,
later stick on Joba,
Joba taking exception,
and striking back.
The discussion continues,
but Wally Harris is indicating a double penalty is upcoming,
right here, let's pause for station identification.
This is WNEW in New York,
and this is Gene Clavenham,
I'm on every morning folks from 5.30 to 10,
is this a game?
Have you heard my show?
Is that a show?
This is Mark Albert with Sal Messina
from Madison Square Garden in New York.
SRO crowd here at the garden for game one
of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Here's the announcement on the penalty, slashing.
On both,
Roger Baer and Glenn Resch,
the coltender Resch is hit with the slash,
and then Lewis came over,
at first it appeared that Harris was handing out the penalty
to the defenseman Lewis,
but it is Resch who got involved with Joba,
and so the auditors will send someone over to the penalty
box to serve that Resch slash.
Time of the penalty is 15.45.
And Bob, that'll set up the four on three situation still
for a minute and 42 seconds.
One inning, who was out on the ice on that opportunity,
has to serve that penalty,
one of the players who are on the ice
at the time of the infraction will go out,
heading going out to join Dennis Pottson.
So the Rangers for a minute and 42 seconds
will have a four on three situation.
Face off coming up midway between
the island of Lulana, Lulana,
it'll be a west ball and Rattell on the draw,
controlled by the Rangers,
Mark holds it up for that point,
looks to set up cross-ice,
blood, Harris, he shoots it,
his block comes in front,
Rattell bats at it, it goes wide,
West ball comes away with the loose block
for the outlanders, goes along the boards,
looks to clear and succeeds,
shoots it all the way down.
Rangers have the man advantage
in a four on three skating situation.
Ron Harris back behind the Ranger net,
Rangers lead it one nothing as Harris starts up,
moving right to left, Harris to center,
Harris moving on west ball across the out of the line
that jumps in, left side of rest,
Marshall back forward, whips it around the boards,
comes back the other way,
took a tricky hop, Rattell able to keep in,
out to the point to Ron Harris,
cross-ice, blocked from the left side,
flips it from the vicar but it's broken up,
Harris gets it alive, he shoots,
he falls down as it's knocked away by Marshall,
and west ball takes the loose block
and carries it out to center,
he's tied up by Park along the boards at the far side,
have that stop to play, Park not allowing
west ball to clear up the rest of the ice.
Two good saves by the islander defense,
the first by Dave Lewis who just made a kick save
right in front of Glenn Rush on park shot,
and then Burt Marshall able to stop Ronnie Harris's shot
as all three islanders had drifted over to that side
of the ice and if Ronnie would have made a pass,
the other side of the ice is all Rangers.
Rangers remain with Bertell and Vickers up front,
Harris and Parker back.
50 seconds remaining on the Dennis Puntman penalty
for Hanford on Harris as he leaves,
Breschner steps on, and a minute eight on those
double penalties to Joe Baer and Glenn Rush.
A wrap by two halfs.
Hanford serving the rest penalty incidentally,
on the face, Park shoots it all the way down
for the islanders, back behind the Ranger goal line,
Park is after it, now Park starts up,
Rangers half an advantage, Park to center,
Park is up across the islander line,
Park cuts to the near side,
has Vickers out deep wide open,
a pass to Vickers up and up one,
north side, Breschner, Breschner back to Vickers,
he goes in with a drive, save off the cover,
Breschner on the rebound, Breschner keeps it
on the right ball, he lines it up,
a shot shoot back to Park and Vickers at the near corner,
now Park sets up, gets to Vickers in the corner,
Vickers moves in, back the other way,
Breschner, out the park, straight away shot,
he shoots, blocked beautifully by a diving marshal,
and Westphal clears it all the way down.
Bird marshal with that block,
on the straight on shot by Brad Park,
here's Breschner out of the zone,
but Dennis Puntman returns for the ice,
Breschner tied up by Marisi,
goes in across the out of the line,
back pass, Baerberg, Baerberg cross-ice to Park,
Park shoots, it is reflected wide,
on the rebound, it's far about the far corner,
Baerberg is hemmed in, Park is held against the boards,
Park pushes it along the boards,
and then it's frozen, just stopped play.
Five seconds remaining on the double penalties,
right now both clubs are four skaters apiece.
Face-off coming up from the left side of the highlander net,
we have 2.20 left in this first period,
and the Rangers lead it 1-0 on the goal by Steve Vickers,
assisted by Brad Park and John Ratel
at 8.11 of the second period.
And with that whistle, Glenn Resch came out,
and patted Burt Marshall on the backside,
saying way to go, and what a job Burt Marshall did
on that particular power play by the Rangers,
he stopped two good shots, and the last one,
the Rangers throwing the puck around beautifully,
Greschner finally getting it back to Park,
and a beautiful sprawling save by Burt Marshall
to keep that puck from penetrating.
Face-off now, left side of Resch,
that'll be Kachuk and Druid on the draw.
On the face-off, it's sent back behind the,
out of the net, Hart after it, Hart flops it now for Druid,
Druid winds it around the board, Marat after,
shoots back in behind, Resch makes the stick stop,
Gilberto, and heading return now,
both clubs, five skaters aside,
Druid takes it in front of his own net,
clears it ahead now for Dennis Potman,
and Potman shoots it out to center.
Parisi can't handle it, Faberant bats it away
over to Sanderson, he cuts it up,
up in the backhand, it was wide.
Beautiful move by Sanderson, but a shot went wide.
Now here's Druid up to center for the honor
that's moving on the route, takes the slap
at the range of iron, then loses possession,
and Greschner takes, spins back behind his goal line,
winds it around the board, Dennis Potman keeps in,
dumps it in the corner for McMillan,
back behind the goal line, Parisi back in front,
10-4 McMillan, intercepted by Sanderson,
a hit, Faberant at center, he is one-on-two,
Faberant shoots in, a high shot blowed at the crossbar,
by Gresch, puts on the stick of the defenseman, Jerry Hart,
Hart spinning back behind his net, watch by Cachut,
rolls it around, out of the stick of Druid.
Here's Druid up to center for the honor that's moving
on the crisscross with McMillan,
takes a hip check from the route as he shoots in,
and Sanderson slaps it back the other way,
it carries all the way down across the honor
of their goal line, the touch by Dennis Potman,
and that bumps the whistle, more icing,
so they'll bring it back down for a face-off.
They have now changed the scoring on that ranger goal.
It is Brad Park's goal from Rotel at 8-11,
originally called Vickers on a deflection from in front.
Apparently they looked at the replay,
and determined that it was a Park slap shot all the way,
and Vickers did not get a face of it.
Rotel, they assist 8-11, Rangers lead 1-0,
face-off, deepened, Ranger-Ice controlled again
by the Rangers, Urban is hauled down,
he and Howitt entangled with their skates,
and the fans here looking for a penalty,
no penalty called, Howitt also went down.
Park takes, moves back behind his net,
watched by the fore-checking Howitt,
now Park starts up, but Meistrup fore-checking well,
and Park has to move back behind his net.
Park looking ahead, now Park starts up around Meistrup,
here's Park with 40 seconds remaining in the period,
moving up to center, a hit for Bemily,
has an opening on the right side,
beyond on the line, a slap is won,
on the rebound, Stokowski shoots, score!
And, off the line, the first pitch for Stokowski,
who has had many a great playoff series,
starting right here in game number one,
with the tough angle shots, and 30 feet out,
right side of Resh, feet over the shoulder,
and the Rangers lead it 2-0.
Complete breakdown by the Islanders,
everybody going to the left side of the ice
as the Rangers came in, and Bemily was able
to go down to the right side to take the first shot,
Resh even was slow as the puck bounced off the boards,
and Stemmer, right on the puck,
Resh coming over to this side of the net,
Stemkowski shot it to where Resh was coming from,
no way Resh could react,
a perfect shot right inside the post.
Final to go, 19-25 on the face-off,
controlled by Lewis, to the out of the shirts ahead,
some of the crowd, and players call.
Bemily and Park, the assist for Pete Stemkowski.
Well, there's one for the,
two member of the Stemkowski family,
I know Gail Stemkowski's taking it all in, on WNAW.
Gail and Peter celebrating the birth of a girl
just a couple of days ago, on the face,
Stemkowski, control, shoots in,
right side of Resh, time running down here,
in this second period, Rangers lead it to nothing,
Idle is clear out of the zone, Howard takes it center,
moves to the Ranger line, and that shoots in,
right side of the net, Park after,
then a scramble of Howard, Meistrum works free,
Irvin is over there, time runs out,
Irvin passing around the middle,
it's against the end of the second period.
A score after two, the New York Rangers two,
and the New York Islanders nothing.
We'll be back in a moment,
and Sal will be talking with one of my all time
favorite New York Rangers from years gone by,
a Ranger in the early 60s, Wild Bill Ezenicki.
Don't play him on the golf course, Sal.
No, I understand, he is a golf pro,
I'll have to ask him about that,
but Wild Bill Ezenicki was a man
who loved to throw his body around,
and you know, the big whistle, Chadwick said to me,
as Nicky was a rough tough guy,
but he never got a high sticking penalty.
I asked Bill, you have that good a memory,
you never gave him a high sticking penalty,
we're gonna have to ask Ezenicki about that.
All right, Wild Bill Ezenicki will be our guest
just a moment or two, right here,
let's pause for this, from manufacturer Sal.
I'm walking through what used to be a busy bank,
now it's filled only with the ghosts of people
who used to bank here.
Sorry, it's after three, we're closed.
Margaret Martin used to spend her lunch hours here
standing in line, but she's disappeared.
She banks at Manufacturer's Hanoi now,
where many branches open early and close late,
so she can spend her lunch hour after lunch.
Next.
David Bell is a accountant, used to stand in line
for 10 minutes to make a simple deposit,
he's disappeared too.
Now he makes deposits in 10 seconds
in a quick time deposit box at Manufacturer's Hanoi.
Sorry, you know how to get into offices
with a problem.
I don't know why the secretary got sick and tired
of being given a hard time every time
she wanted to cash a check at another branch.
She too has disappeared.
All the while she can cash her check at any branch.
Now she gets hard cash instead of a hard time.
A lot of people are going to Manufacturer's Hanoi
because they're doing a lot of things
to make banking the way you want it to be.
Remember, D.S.C.
In the second period, the Rangers out-shopped
the islanders 14-7 for an overall 24-15 edge
over the first 10 minutes.
No scoring in the first, in the second,
it was Martin on a slap, assisted by Rotel at 8-11.
And then Stumkowski from Beverly and Martin at 19-25,
giving the Rangers the two-nothing lead right here
after two.
Penalties in the second, Irvin and Lewis together
for high-sticking at 9-27.
Dennis Pontven for a trip at 15-27,
then Resch, the goaltender, and Gilbert got involved
in the front of the net, and they were both called
for slashing at 15-45, giving the Rangers a four-on-three
skating advantage.
Resch is penalty served by Lauren Heading.
Two-to-nothing to score at the end of two,
the Rangers on top.
Elsewhere on the national hockey league,
Boston over Chicago, 8-1 in the third,
Pittsburgh came from behind and beat the St. Louis Blues
4-3, St. Louis chopping off to that two-nothing lead,
but the Penguins just awesome at home this season,
able to come back and pull out the victory
by the count of 4-3.
What is the garden blossom in springtime?

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

Pickers and Ratel can't get in front,
it comes in front,
kicked aside by Rush, and cleared by West Coast,
can't clear all the way,
Hart keeps it in deep,
Mark moves to the air corner,
as Ratel and Greshner pass it around,
and cleared by Roos, for the out of the,
Greshner and Chopa back forward,
it's a shock and a cut down,
Greshner takes a minute fifteen minutes,
and I'm sure he's back to the middle,
and Greshner whips it around the board for Chopa,
Chopa starting up now,
and heading to the right side,
and he's going to the left side,

able to get it out nevertheless,
to park at the front,
back to Joba at the far side,
gets to Ratel,

and a turn for Joba,
breaks the slap,
that is passed,
knocked away by Henning,
and Henning comes up with a loose buck,
heading out of the zone,
mounted by Joba as he moves to center,
heading up to the range of line,
Henning loses on a stick check to Greshner,
and it's chased to center by Westmore,
with 12 seconds remaining on that hurt penalty,
now Dennis Pumpkin kills the clock,
as he comes around the zone,
and a hit from McVinnell at center,
makes the turn on Greshner,
and across the range of line,
that loses control of it,
it is played by Greshner,

and now he is heading off the ice,
so the
ultimate
Wheeling up to the out of the line, makes a hard check along the boards from Buckland, and loses control.
Out of the

out of the stuff that up a power play goal by Billy
Harris from the left of
Chocobit and the Ranger leaders now two to one
good play by Billy Harris consistent checking by
Parisi and drawing behind a net working
that bucket to the corner and Harris just taking away
and working on family came to come out in front of
Chocobit and Chocobit was a little cautious he had
a man to the other side of the cage went down

Howard a flip that is knocked away by Gresham picked up on the red line by
Hart and he rolls it in right side of chocolate and he makes the
stick stop whistle on the play Jerry Hart standing near the Ranger
bench was high stick by a Ranger jumping off the bench.
And Hart took it on the top of the head.
He got clobbered by either a Ranger jumping off or back on the
bench. I saw Vickers coming off and Irvin heading back to the
bench. They both have the sticks up high and it was total
of it all.
Part on top of the head and they're looking for hot for blood
right now on hot said to get the five minute penalty but there
isn't any there. Harris already took the one look.
Urban was man. He was on the way into the door when it's a
hot head to stick up in the air up in the air and his stick came

Seven oh three time of the high stick on that over that

You know most men's hairsprays look fine but how do they feel.
You'll find that most of them make your hair feel wet when
you're spray them on but by Thomas drive three is different.
It is the only leading hairspray that goes on almost dry and
when they do dry most hairsprays make your hair feel
stiff.
But by Thomas drive three your hair feels softer not
nearly as stiff by Thomas drive three.
The hairspray that feels as good as it looks on the face
out of the shooting left side of chocolate run whites it
around the board kept in by John Puckman at the right
point.

Ritz-Hell looking to set up for an equal shot.
Lost control.
And the Rangers again have to start the game.
Pass to center.
Ritz-Hell is hit and dunk by Marshall.
And Westphal on the slider.
Head across.
Going to line.
Heading his back forward.
And they look at Gilberto.
He pretty looks to start in front of the Westphal.
In the center by Gilberto.
Rangers are really building up on this power play attack.
Gilberto heads to the pocket center.
And it's remaining on the middle.
And that went across the under the line.
He comes into the corner.
Stands in front.
Went to the point.
Gilberto has enough.
He shoots.
Ritz-Hell has a stick in it in front.
But Rush able to follow the shot.
Can't come up with a stick save.
And the item is clear once again.
Gilberto back forward.
Now is the item.
A strange arm to go.
Westphal is hitting the putt.
Gilberto center.
He's up to the under the line.
He comes to the right.
Back past the paramedic.
Went to the right.
Went to the front.
He shoots.
But so it may hit by Ritz.
And he holds on.
Vickers take it out of the play.
Beautiful.
That is putt then.
Vickers started out in front of Rush.
And putt then out of it.
Back behind the net.
As that shot was putt out of the air by Rush.
And he just wrote him out.
I've been doing the wise thing.
Letting Rush take Brad's off one on one.
And he's got the
deep shot.
And Rush was able to handle it.
Rush coming up with some super sails.
The one under shot by Gilberto.
Which was deflected by Ritzel.
Rush still able to get a putt on it.
Time running down on the New York Rangers.
40 seconds.
A minute 45 remaining third period.
Ritter to the omnibus on top.
Westphal and Henning return now.
An attempt to kill off the
Ritzel.
Rangers go in Stankowski at center for Irvin at Middleton Park.
And Gilberto back on the faceoff.
And who the hell is in clear by Henning.
The leg pulled the ice.
Gilberto back forward.
Gilberto picks it up behind the goal line.
And now starts up.
Accelerates to center.
And drop for Stankowski.
Stemmis whips it in.
Well Irvin goes in with a try for this block.
Westphal takes it.
And clears it out of the zone.
A minute 25 remaining.
And it's a putt.
That's in.
Middleton Park 뭘ches it in and promise that the
strike front70th mental Coxley has the point moving
in center.
RC-Stankowski and lunch at using it.
Garry Westphal.
Good.
Mark back for five seconds.
At the end of the corner.
Now yoga for corona Baru Song Varga batta.
Chang connected style.
Two seconds now, on the ropes to it, probably.
And Eddie Jacoma will be coming out of the cage pretty soon.
Soon as the Rangers penetrate into Island Durant,
I'm sure you'll see Jacoma make a dash for the bench,
and he will practice putting on a substitute.
Stepper anticipating a pass from off going offside on the play.
Faceoff coming up now between Stupkowski and Grillen.
The Islanders looking for full-on production
by beating the Rangers at this opening game
here at Madison Square Garden.
They've made it three to two, and they can't
put in too much of a deficit to take that lead.
Not an easy task, particularly in a playoff game.
Rangers were in a defensive shell most of the way.
Peshter on the face control.
Stewart has returned.
Office Stupkowski shoots it.
Jacoma has flattened.
Extra full on as Samuelson comes on.
Huck is close in the corner and out on the ice.
Embed up for the Rangers.
Not as much, but shoots it ahead to center.
It is right by the rock.
45 seconds remaining, a lead from Eddard,
but across the out of the line.
He cuts for this one.
He is pumped to the ice by Puckbent.
Islanders take third.
Hit the rubber out of Shunner.
Safe fade.
Rebound.
It's a crash from the board.
This shot sticks aside.
Sanderson on the rebound.
Spice it from the clock to Stupkowski.
But it's locked away.
It comes back to the board.
Fresh from tank control.
As well it does, shoots it out to center.
Race for the puck.
That is Puckbent.
Each question cuts it across the range of eye.
Angle drive is fine.
Two of the engines.
That's 20 seconds remaining.
Grillen after it.
Grillen is shot from the angle.
It's locked away from Stupkowski.
The race is back for Hamlin.
And all with Stupkowski.
Schneller comes up with it.
Sanderson hits the center.
Dennis Watson intercepts.
15 seconds.
Puckbent shoots Eddard.
From the whistle for an offside against the Islanders.
And they bring it back.
And Leon Stickel, the linesman on the play is calling a face off
all the way back in the Islanders zone.
Calling it a deliberate offside.
On Dennis Puckbent.
And the Islanders are furious coming out to argue that play with Stickel.
Had it not been Nicole that way, the face off would have been a center ice.
And if it's not set up to stage with 12 seconds left, the Rangers will have to face off to
the right.
Upland rest deep in island territory.
12 seconds remaining.
Face off.
Upcoming.
Islanders continue to argue that deliberate offside by linesman Stickel.
Islander Captain Eddie Westphal continues the discussion now with Montgomery Willie
Harris.
Big face off now deep in.
Islander ice.
Rangers have pulled Chalkamon.
They have the empty net.
The extra forward is on.
It's Ratel, Vickers, Fairburn, Sanderson.
Burke and JoBeth on ice for the Rangers.
And then a Westphal and Ratel on the draw.
It has been a tremendous game for Eddie Westphal.
3-2.
The Islanders on top.
Both clubs talking it over now.
George Al Auburn has pulled Parisi and Drew it over to the bench to give instructions.
We're waiting for face off now.
Willie Harris comes over to say, hey, let's play hockey.
Auburn talking with Harris now.
Finally Parisi has back.
Throw the face off circle.
And now we're just about set.
Westphal against Ratel on this throw.
Bruce at the circle.
Sterling controlled by Poppins.
Cash player.
And he does.
To the middle side.
And it slips out of the zone.
The flex inner vader out of the bench.
And we have a face off coming up now.
Outside the out of the blue line with just five seconds left.
The Islanders right now arguing that the Rangers should have been called from face off all the way down.
I think that's immaterial now.
Five seconds remaining.
And the Islanders really are playing a super game.
Super defensively, ma.
They have kept the Rangers away from good scoring opportunities throughout this territory.
Westphal on the face now with Joe Banner.
The idea with Joe Banner is that the hope is he can direct it toward grass.
Although the face off is out deep.
Lansman Hodges waves in on the face.
And the person sent a rescue in place.
He pays the throw in from the middle line.
He goes wide.
And the desert side of the bench in.
The rejected Ranger club leaves the ice.
The Islanders come to the ice.
They have each other.
Steve Bickers just puts his stick down.
Broken on the glass.
Hit down below us.
As the Rangers.
Lamp the ice.
The Outer is there as it makes on the Stanley Cup.
And I tell you this.
It has now come down to a such and death one game season.
For the New York Rangers.
And that season will stop.
And I hope not conclude.
And when I saw a cover of CM on Thursday night.
And then back to the wall.
One more game.
The Islanders are spirited hockey club.
They worked.
They continued to work.
They did not die when they were down by two goals.
They came back strong.
To win the hockey game.
Preservedly so.
What a terrible final.
Out of this.
Feet for the Rangers.
Coming from behind.
The Jumping Club has lost two in a three.
One game to nothing.
Right after this.
From Schaeffer.
Schaeffer is the one beer to have.
Now here's a word from America's oldest lager beer.
Hey Schaeffer.
Give the one beer to have.
When you haven't won the one.
Did you know that the Schaeffer people are the oldest.
The most experienced lager brewers in America.
It takes experience to brew any kind of beer.
And the best way to do it.
Is to have a beer.
It takes experience to brew any kind of beer.
But it's taking a little bit more experience to brew Schaeffer.
One beer is fine enough to give you a flavor that's never tasted.
If you'd like to experience the result of all that brewing experience.
All you gotta do is give a couple of frosty cold Schaeffers a try.
Half an hour to Schaeffer brewing.
New York.
Shots on goal on the third.
Item is ten. Rangers seven. Rangers outshot the Adidas 31-25.
The penalties on the third.
Hartford set one three nine.
Maratka interference in four twenty.
Irvin for high sticking at seven oh three.
And Stewart for a one at sixteen fifty five.
Rangers brewing a two nothing lead on the goals by Perkins and Kelsky.
On the second and third it was Harris on a foul play by Billy Harris and the Adidas.
John Furtman on a wrap around with Schalke but out of position.
And that first givings on a breakaway with the game winner at fifteen fifty.
So what happens to Big Rapid on the post game show in just a moment.
The Islanders jump in front.
And game number one of our best two out of three.
One game to nothing.
They have now won three straight from the New York Rangers.
And Furman had all kinds of problems with winning two straight here up the guard.
Sunday night as it turns out was their first ever victory here at Up the Guard.
Now they've come roaring back here with the three two come from behind win here.
And they open up the playoffs the very first playoff game of all time for the New York Outers.
And of course a memorable win.
Three to two for final four.
And among the cheering we've been hearing tonight.
So the crowd is really enjoying themselves.
Particularly the Islander portion of the crowd.
And I would think a lot of these folks are just naturally cheerful.
They'll probably wake up cheerful tomorrow.
That is if they get a good night's sleep.
And you know that it's hard to get if you happen to go to bed with a headache and can't sleep.
The answer, exeferent PM.
A nighttime pain reliever.
Exeferent PM relieves headache and its tension helps you relax for a good night's sleep.
So you should wake up feeling refreshed.
Work through brightness.
Of course you take exeferent PM only as directed.
But imagine feeling that good in the morning even if you have a headache tonight.
This is WNEW, Metromedia Radio in New York.
They're home on the Knicks, the Rangers, the Giants, and the Mets.

Stay tuned for Sal and the Post Game followed by Dick Schumper right here on WNEW.
Final again, the Outlanders 3 for Rangers 2.
The Madison Square Garden in New York.
This is part of our movement with Sal Pacino.
Now for the Post Game here as Sal.
Thank you, Moav and the Islanders.
A super victory for them.
They came into this hockey game and they committed a series knowing they had to win one at the Garden.
They've had trouble doing so.
Rangers playing the Rangers for a win at a time before Sunday night here.
And the beating of the Rangers Sunday night coming back with a big victory coming from behind
with three big goals on the third period to win the hockey game 3-2.
First period was a tight check-in game throughout.
Moav goalscored, Rangers out shooting the Islanders 10-8.
Penalty is Burt Marshall for tripping at 4-0-4.
Teddy Irvin for fighting with...
Teddy Irvin a fighting penalty, Gary Howard a fighting penalty, and Jerry Butler an elbow penalty.
All in a safe play. That's coming in 10-48.
JP Parisi a hooking penalty at 14-21.
And the story in the hockey game, the Rangers inability to score on the power play.
Eddie Westwell, the number 8 here in the Islanders,
was a better penalty killer when he was with the Boston Brawlers.
Just quite a super hockey game.
He, Lorde Hedding, Dennis Brackman, the complete mallard of the facts.
Glen Resch playing steady and goals throughout.
Back to both teams with a plan goal scored.
Only one questionable goal.
That's the goal of tonight's hockey game up by Jean-Pierre Pouf.
We'll get to that one in a minute.
In the second period, a tight game continued.
Brad Clark his first goal of the playoffs.
Scored the first goal of the hockey game.
Getting a face-off, Jean Retel winning a face-off.
Throwing it back to Park.
And all the way back, Roger Baer was hesitant whether to go for the puck or not.
Did not. Clark took the shot.
Dennis Potman pushing out the Steve Vickers in front of that.
And it had a head-off for Dennis Potman as they originally had given the goal to Steve Vickers.
But after I'm sure they, after hooking at the replay, I'm sure they saw that Dennis Potman had deflected it.
And that the Rangers had won nothing.
Peter Stupkowski at 19-25 on a play with the Islanders completely lapsed off.
Clark carrying it center, giving it to Beverly who went over the blue line on the right side shot.
The puck sail wide.
Heron down the other side. Stupkowski coming down the left side.
Fine. To the left of Resch who was moving over after cutting down the angle on Beverly.
A beautiful shot by Stupkowski.
Catching right inside the post and that tied the hockey.
That put the Rangers ahead two to nothing.
Second period ended that way.
Penalties, Irvin and Lewis at 19-27 for high-sticking.
Dennis Potman and the Islanders for tripping at 15-27.
Glenn Resch, Roger Bear, both getting slashing penalties at 15-45.
And while Dennis Potman was off, the Rangers had a four and three opportunity and weren't able to score.
Resch with a couple of good saves.
Second period, shots on goal.
Rangers 14, Islanders 7.
And the Rangers led after two by the score of two to nothing.
In the third period, Jerry Hart went off for tripping at 139.
And again, the Rangers failed to score on the power play.
Gilles Moran went for it, the periods of four-twenty of the third period and that's when it started.
Islanders with a couple of good opportunities.
Finally with JP Parisi and Jude moving and they also played exceptionally well.
Doing a lot of digging behind it.
The puck drifting into the corner.
Harris and Beverly battling.
Harris coming out with the puck.
With Parisi to the right of Jockerman.
Harris just walked out.
Deed once on Jockerman, put it up high.
And that brought the Islanders to within one.
That power play goal, the only power play goal of the game.
And if you really look down at it, the Islanders were able to score on a power play.
The Rangers were not.
Then at 11.51, Philip McMillan to Burt Marshall.
Burt Marshall dumping it in.
A race for the puck.
Derek Sanderson, John Potman in the race.
Tachemac coming out, scrolling for it.
Had a piece of it.
However, it went behind the net.
Potman was all alone.
Picked it up, went around the net.
Had an empty net to put it into.
Tying the hockey game up two to two.
And the momentum was all over the islanders.
They had it.
They were down two to nothing.
And they picked up as the Rangers did in Atlanta on Friday night.
Irvin picking up a penalty at 7.03.
And Stewart for hooking at 16.55.
But the big goal of Clark Gillies, assisted by Westball.
And Lewis, the puck going into the Ranger and deflecting off.
Greshner hitting Gillies in the chest.
Gillies is bullying his way through.
Morack and Greshner picked it up.
And a beautiful shot.
Beating Jockerman right inside the post on Jockerman's left side.
The Islanders went 3-2.
They went on to win a hard, poor hockey game.
The Islanders had a strong third period to win it.
And the Rangers had their backs against the wall.
They have to go into Long Island, the National Coliseum,
and win that game on Thursday night.
Or it's an early ending for the scene at the New York Rangers.
Stars awarded here for Clark Gillies.
First star, Jean Potman.
Second, Brent Pop.
Third, I'd have to give Eddie Westball the first star.
But a sixth on a winning goal in a super hockey game.
Throw out.
Shots on goal in the third period.
The Islanders had 10.
Rangers 7.
The Islanders have a game of 31.
The Islanders have 25.
The score, the Islanders 3, the Rangers 2, and the
Islanders take the lead in the best two or three series, one game to none.
Other games in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs,
the Boston Bruins falling all over the Chicago Black Bucks.
And the Black Bucks have had injury problems throughout the season.
Playing the season as playing a playoff,
the first game of the playoffs, the way they play during a season.
Not very good at all.
Boston winning that 8-2.
In fact, the Black Bucks, a strong favorite for first place in their division, ended up third.
In Pittsburgh, with St. Louis jumping off into a 2-0 lead.
They could not hold it.
The Mellows high-scoring Penguins down.
The Penguins ending up winning the hockey game 4-3.
A later start out on the West Coast.
Toronto is at L.A.
Well, a bad night for the Knicks.
Also, they traveled out to Houston for the opening game of their two-out-of-three series.
Houston winning that one 99-84.
Knicks led at the end of the first quarter,
however, Houston taking a lead at the half by 7 at the end of three-quarters by 7,
and finally winning by 15.
Other NBA playoff games tonight.
Detroit, at a later start, is out at Seattle.
In the ABA, the Knicks off game two versus St. Louis tomorrow night at the Nassau Coliseum.
Kentucky at home, defeating Memphis 119-105,
and Kentucky leads that series two games to none.
In baseball, a game heard earlier on WNEW at Shea.
The Mets two, the Phillies one, a 600 for Tom Seaver and Dave Kingman
in his first National League start for the New York Mets at a home run.
At Cleveland, Cleveland Indians five, Yankees three,
a successful managerial debut for Frank Robinson.
He also hit a home run in his first at bat, Gaelart Curry,
going all the way for the victory.
Well, the New York Islanders, a surprising club throughout,
and a club who worked all season long.
Good defensive hockey club throughout the season, consistent, good here again.
Keeping the Rangers two within two, going into the third period,
scoring a power play goal, and then the goal by Jean Pappin,
the final here again at the Garden.
The Islanders three, the Rangers two,
and that's back to the wall for the Rangers.
They'll be at the Nassau Coliseum on Thursday night.
Other sports broadcast Thursday afternoon at 1.50,
the Mets and the Phillies from Shea Thursday night.
The Knicks and Houston here at the Garden,
starting with John Andres in the pregame show at 8.50,
and Friday night here at the Garden, if necessary,
if the Rangers should defeat the Islanders out at the Nassau Coliseum,
starting at 8.50.
That about does it for the post game. I'm Sal Massina.
