00:28 Well ladies and gentlemen, here we are out at the Elite Deluxe Sports Palace about to witness one of the biggest ice hockey games of the season.
00:34 Bringing together two of the top ranking teams in the league.
00:37 In no other game is the feeling of competition so keen, affecting both players and spectators alike.
00:42 Turning casual friends into bitter enemies.
00:45 Tonight's game looks like a sellout.
00:48 A capacity crowd of thousands of rabid, sports loving hockey fans has turned out to cheer for their favorite teams.
00:53 Yes sir, the stands are filling up.
00:55 They're really packing them in.
00:57 Well it seems there have been a few last minute changes in the starting liners.
01:01 Get your pencils ready.
01:02 Now, instead of Hannah at left wing, Strawlings will start.
01:05 Put DeGradi in place of Williams at center, then Berg over Aliquis.
01:08 And at left defense, McCormick replaces Dunham.
01:10 At goal, Lee Angan takes the place of Nichols.
01:12 And, oh yes, the teams will be the Looseleafs versus the Anteaters instead of the Moose and Pelicans.
01:17 All right, the teams are skating out onto the ice.
01:21 Listen to that ovation.
01:23 [crowd cheering]
01:26 And here come the two stars of their teams.
01:28 Icebox Bertino and Fearless Ferguson.
01:31 A heated rivalry has developed between these two boys.
01:34 Both are tied for the top league scoring honors.
01:37 And tonight's game will be the pay off.
01:39 As these boys go, so go their clubs.
01:42 The referee for tonight will be that popular arbiter, Clean Game Kinney.
01:46 [crowd cheering]
01:49 A favorite of the fans.
01:51 The entire responsibility of the game rests squarely on the shoulders of the referee.
01:55 This keen-eyed individual must follow the course of play so closely
01:59 that sometimes it seems he must have eyes in the back of his head.
02:03 [punching and grunting]
02:07 Uh-oh, a penalty.
02:09 There go the guilty players into the penalty box.
02:11 With these stars out, the complexion of the entire game may be changed.
02:16 A hush of expectancy settles over the crowd as the teams line up for the face off.
02:21 The referee drops the puck, and the game is on.
02:23 There goes the puck over the blue line, passed out to the right wing,
02:26 checked by the opposing left wing, who passes the puck back to the right defense,
02:28 cutting in fast, picking the puck off the board, now back to the left wing,
02:30 and pivots around the center.
02:31 There's a scramble for Ferguson.
02:33 [crowd cheering]
02:37 Boots has got it. He's down the ice, tries for a shot off the net,
02:40 but the goalie puts up a stout defense, knocking it away for a beautiful save.
02:45 [crowd cheering]
02:47 Here comes Colum, Negrotti fighting for the puck.
02:49 There's the shot, and he scores!
02:51 No, no, no! Look at that stop!
02:54 Nothing ever gets past that goalie.
02:56 [crowd cheering]
03:01 Oh!
03:03 Boots has cleared down the rink.
03:05 It's taken by McCormick. McCormick to Papineau at the blue line, over to Murray.
03:07 Murray cutting over the loose, loose defense.
03:09 He tries to draw the goalie out of position. There's the shot, and, and, and, and, and!
03:12 [crowd cheering]
03:23 Nice save, fellow!
03:25 [crowd cheering]
03:33 What am I saying?
03:35 The puck shoots out to center ice.
03:37 Both teams are battling furiously for possession.
03:39 Here come Bertino and Ferguson out of the penalty box.
03:42 [crowd cheering]
03:46 [whistle blows]
03:47 And there go Bertino and Ferguson back into the penalty box.
03:51 The loose Leafs take the play away.
03:53 Colum makes a pass on the right wing, to center ice.
03:55 Oh, wow! He sank the puck, and a beautiful puck check at the end.
03:58 There's a long pass rink wide, and a scramble for the puck.
04:00 A little rough play out there, both sides are trying to score, and...
04:03 [buzzer]
04:04 And there's the buzzer ending the first period.
04:06 [buzzer]
04:10 In order to give the cash customers a chance to sit in their seats,
04:13 there are ten minute rests between periods.
04:16 [music]
04:26 [buzzer]
04:28 Well, there's the buzzer, starting the second stanza.
04:31 [crowd cheering]
04:32 [whistle blows]
04:34 The team takes to the ice.
04:36 Puck is faced off, there's a pass out to the side.
04:38 The Leafs come up with a play.
04:39 Here comes McCormick, cutting down the side.
04:41 That boy's sure burning up the ice.
04:43 Spinning like a toffee, crosses the blue line.
04:45 The defense closes in.
04:46 Wow! Lee Freedly laid it into him!
04:49 [crowd cheering]
04:54 Hooray for Raleigh!
04:56 [crowd cheering]
04:59 Here come Bertino and Ferguson out of the penalty box.
05:02 [crowd cheering]
05:06 And there go Bertino and Ferguson back into the penalty box.
05:09 There's a pass out to Bond, and here he comes swinging wide with a blinding burst of speed.
05:13 [crowd cheering]
05:14 Next up is Bond, sliced his way through.
05:16 Puck cuts in fast, picks up the puck, takes a shot at the net, and the goalie kicks it away!
05:20 There's another shot, and another, and another!
05:22 The goalie has the situation well in hand.
05:24 No, no! He nuts the own net for a score, a score, a score, a score, a score!
05:29 [crowd cheering]
05:33 And Eater Squad loose leaves nothing.
05:35 Well, ladies and gentlemen, that score might be enough to put the game on ice.
05:39 They line up for the faceoff.
05:40 [crowd cheering]
05:45 There's a scramble, Puck is forced to get to the side.
05:47 [crowd cheering]
05:51 Here come Bertino and Ferguson out of the penalty box.
05:53 [crowd cheering]
05:57 And there go Bertino and Ferguson back into the penalty box.
06:00 Coming up to the blue line, it's...
06:02 [crowd cheering]
06:03 He's right down the field trying to knock the count.
06:05 [crowd cheering]
06:06 And the goalie boots it away for Ferguson's sake!
06:09 And the crowd loses its mind!
06:11 [crowd cheering]
06:14 Here's the play.
06:15 Mohawk Poe checks it away from Williams, intercepted by Shaw,
06:17 pass behind to Allen, goes to slip to DePete, and there it goes right, right down the middle.
06:20 He shoots!
06:21 The referee's in the way!
06:22 There's another nice save at the net.
06:24 He clears the puck from the front, but it's too hot to handle.
06:26 Both teams are fighting it out on the ice.
06:27 This is anybody's game.
06:28 Riley shoots, McCormick shoots, Berg shoots, Pugley shoots, Weaver shoots, DeGradi shoots,
06:32 Sepp shoots, Nolley shoots, Bushman shoots, Larkin shoots, everybody shoots!
06:35 There's a score, and another, and another, and another.
06:37 The goalie's just standing there ground, but they've got their hands full.
06:40 It's a pre-scoring game!
06:42 Shaw is shooting, Moore is shooting, Krumelman shoots, Nollery shoots, Clark shoots, Nolley shoots.
06:46 The score is piling up.
06:48 [counting]
06:54 There's never been anything quite like this.
06:56 The crowd is going absolutely berserk.
06:58 I've never seen anything quite as spectacle.
06:59 And the crowd loves it.
07:00 And there's a right cross to the chin, and a left uppercut, and a high one to the centerfield stand.
07:04 Oh, a foul, a foul!
07:06 It's breathtaking, and they're messing it up.
07:08 Wow, a basket, a basket, a carry pass, a carry pass, oh, touche!
07:12 And look at that block.
07:13 And look, look now at the sidelines, and the touchdown.
07:16 Strike, ball, ball, strike, ball, strike, he's out, out like a light.
07:19 Here comes the pitch, the long road drive, straight down the fairway.
07:22 Is it a strike, is it a strike?
07:23 No, a spare!
07:24 Oh, bad deuce, oh, bad deuce, oh, bad deuce.
07:26 Robbie!
07:27 Robbie, wow!
07:28 Wow, what a performance, what a show!
07:30 It's every man for himself.
07:32 And that's why ice hockey is called a spectator sport.
