00:26 Well ladies and gentlemen, here we are out at the Elite Deluxe Sports Palace
00:30 about to witness one of the biggest ice hockey games of the season.
00:33 Bringing together two of the top ranking teams in the league.
00:36 In no other game is the feeling of competition so keen, affecting both players and spectators alike.
00:41 Turning casual friends into bitter enemies.
00:44 Tonight's game looks like a sellout.
00:46 A capacity crowd of thousands of rabid, sports-loving hockey fans
00:50 has turned out to cheer for their favorite teams.
00:52 Yes sir, the stands are filling up. They're really packing them in.
00:56 Well it seems there have been a few last minute changes in the starting liners.
01:00 Get your pencils ready. Now, instead of Hannah at left wing, Spellings will start.
01:04 Put DeGradi in place of Williams at center, then Berg over Aliquis.
01:06 And at left defense, McCormick replaces Dunham.
01:08 At goal, the Angham takes the place of Nichols.
01:10 And, oh yes, the teams will be the Looseleafs versus the Anteaters instead of the Moose and Pelicans.
01:16 All right, the teams are skating out onto the ice. Listen to that ovation.
01:21 [crowd cheering]
01:25 And here come the two stars of their teams, Ice Fox Bertino and Fearless Ferguson.
01:30 A heated rivalry has developed between these two boys.
01:33 Both are tied for the top league scoring honors, and tonight's game will be the payoff.
01:37 As these boys go, so go their clubs.
01:41 The referee for tonight will be that popular arbiter, Clean Game Kinney.
01:44 [crowd cheering]
01:47 A favorite of the fans.
01:50 The entire responsibility of the game rests squarely on the shoulders of the referee.
01:54 This keen-eyed individual must follow the course of play so closely
01:58 that sometimes it seems he must have eyes in the back of his head.
02:02 [punches landing]
02:03 [coughing]
02:06 Uh-oh, a penalty. There go the guilty players into the penalty box.
02:10 With these stars out, the complexion of the entire game may be changed.
02:15 A hush of expectancy settles over the crowd as the teams line up for the face-off.
02:19 The referee drops the puck, and the game is on!
02:22 Ferguson's puck over the blue line, passed out to the right wing,
02:24 checked by the opposing left wing, who passes the puck back to the right defense,
02:27 cutting in fast, picking the puck up the board, now back to the left wing,
02:29 and pivots around the center.
02:30 There's a scramble for prevention.
02:32 [crowd cheering]
02:36 Boots has got it. He's down the ice, tries for a shot at the net,
02:39 but the goalie puts up a stout defense, knocking it away for a beautiful save.
02:44 [crowd cheering]
02:46 Here comes Column, the grotty, fighting for the puck. There's the shot, and he scores!
02:50 No, no, no! Look at that stop!
02:52 Nothing ever gets past that goalie.
02:54 [crowd cheering]
03:00 Oh!
03:02 Boots has turned on the rink. It's Hageman, McCormick, McCormick,
03:04 the cap and over the blue line, over to Murray, Murray cutting over the loose,
03:06 loose defense, he tries to draw the goalie out of position.
03:08 There's the shot! And, and, and, and, and!
03:11 [crowd cheering]
03:21 Nice save, fellow!
03:23 [crowd cheering]
03:31 What am I saying?
03:33 [crowd cheering]
03:34 Puck shoots out to center right, and both teams are battling furiously for possession.
03:37 Here come Bertino and Ferguson out of the penalty box.
03:40 [crowd cheering]
03:46 And, there go Bertino and Ferguson back into the penalty box.
03:49 [crowd cheering]
03:50 The loose leaves take the play away.
03:52 Column makes a pass to the right, Murray to center right,
03:54 to O'Reilly, thanks to Puck, and a beautiful puck check at the end.
03:56 [crowd cheering]
03:57 There's a long pass rink wide, and a scramble for the puck,
03:59 a little rough play out there, both sides are trying to score, and...
04:02 [buzzer]
04:03 And there's the buzzer ending the first period.
04:05 [buzzer]
04:09 In order to give the cash customers a chance to sit in their seats,
04:12 there are ten minute rests between periods.
04:15 [music]
04:21 [whistle]
04:25 [buzzer]
04:27 Well, there's the buzzer, starting the second stanza.
04:31 [whistle]
04:33 The team takes to the ice, Puck is faced off, there's a pass out to the side,
04:36 the loose leaves come up with a play, here comes McCormick, cutting down the side,
04:39 that boy's sure burning up the ice.
04:41 Spinning like a toffee, crosses the blue line, the defense closes in,
04:44 wow, they really laid it into him.
04:47 [crowd cheering]
04:52 Hooray for O'Reilly!
04:54 [crowd cheering]
04:57 Here come Bertino and Ferguson out of the penalty box.
05:00 [crowd cheering]
05:05 And there go Bertino and Ferguson back into the penalty box.
05:08 There's a pass out to Bond, and here he comes swinging wide with a blinding burst of speed.
05:12 [crowd cheering]
05:13 The next up is Bond, sliced his way through.
05:15 Puck cuts him fast, picks up the puck, takes a shot at the net,
05:17 and the goalie kicks it away.
05:19 There's another shot, and another, and another.
05:21 The goalie has the situation well in hand.
05:23 No, no! He nuts the O-net for a score, a score, a score, a score, a score.
05:28 [crowd cheering]
05:31 Ha! And he just won, loose leaves nothing.
05:34 Well, ladies and gentlemen, that score might be enough to put the game on ice.
05:37 They line up for the faceoff.
05:39 [crowd cheering]
05:44 There's a scramble, Puck is forced to get to the side.
05:46 [crowd cheering]
05:50 Here come Bertino and Ferguson out of the penalty box.
05:52 [crowd cheering]
05:56 And there go Bertino and Ferguson back into the penalty box.
05:59 Coming up to the blue line is--
06:01 Oh! He's right down the crease, trying to knock the count.
06:04 And the goalie boots it away.
06:06 Ferguson saves, and the crowd loses its minds.
06:10 [crowd cheering]
06:12 Here's the play.
06:13 Mohawk Puck checks it away from Williams, intercepted by Shaw,
06:15 passed behind to Allen, goes to slip to the feed,
06:17 and there goes right, right down the middle.
06:18 He shoots!
06:19 The referee's in the way!
06:21 There's another nice save at the net.
06:22 He clears the puck for the run, but it's too hot to handle.
06:24 Now both teams are fighting it out on the ice.
06:26 This is anybody's game.
06:27 Riley shoots, McCormick shoots, Bird shoots, Pugley shoots,
06:29 Weaver shoots, DeGradi shoots, Sump shoots, Nolley shoots,
06:31 Bushman shoots, Archer shoots, everybody shoots!
06:34 There's a score, and another, and another, and another.
06:36 The goalie's just standing there, but the gun's a handful.
06:39 It's a three-story game.
06:40 Sawyer's shooting, Moore's shooting, Tumbleman shoots,
06:42 Lowry shoots, Clark shoots, Stolley shoots.
06:45 The score is piling up.
06:46 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39,
06:52 I've never heard anything quite like this.
06:54 The crowd is going absolutely berserk.
06:56 I've never seen anything quite as spectacle.
06:58 And the crowd loves it.
06:59 And there's a right cross to the chin, and a left over cut,
07:01 and a high wind to the centerfield stand.
07:03 Oh, a foul, a foul!
07:04 It's breathtaking, and they're mixing it up.
07:06 Wow, a basket, a basket, Perry's up, Perry's up, oh, touche!
07:10 And look at that block.
07:11 And look, look down the sideline.
07:13 It's a touchdown.
07:14 Strike, ball, ball, strike, ball, strike.
07:16 He's out, out like a light.
07:17 Here comes the pitch, the long road drive,
07:19 straight down the fairway.
07:20 Is it a strike?
07:21 Is it a strike?
07:22 No, a spare!
07:23 A bad deuce, a bad deuce, a bad deuce,
07:25 Robbie, Robbie, wow, wow, what a performance,
07:28 what a show, it's every man for himself.
07:31 And that's why ice hockey is called a spectator sport.
