00:00 [music playing]
00:03 Well, ladies and gentlemen, here we are out at the Elite Deluxe
00:28 Sports Palace about to witness one of the biggest ice
00:30 hockey games of the season, bringing together
00:33 two of the top-ranking teams in the league.
00:35 In no other game is the feeling of competition
00:37 so keen, affecting both players and spectators alike,
00:40 turning casual friends into bitter enemies.
00:43 Tonight's game looks like a sellout.
00:45 A capacity crowd of thousands of rabid, sports-loving hockey
00:48 fans has turned out to cheer for their favorite team.
00:51 Yes, sir, the stands are filling up.
00:53 They're really packing them in.
00:55 Well, it seems there have been a few last-minute changes
00:57 in the starting liners.
00:59 Get your pencils ready.
01:00 Now, instead of Hannah at left wing,
01:02 Stallings will start, put DeGradi in face of Williams
01:04 at center, then Berg over Aliquist.
01:05 And at left defense, McCormick replaces Dunham.
01:07 At goal, the Angham takes the place of Nichols.
01:09 And, oh, yes, the teams will be the Looseleafs
01:12 versus the Anteaters instead of the Moose and Pelicans.
01:16 All right, the teams are skating out onto the ice.
01:18 Listen to that ovation.
01:20 [cheering]
01:22 Ooh.
01:24 And here come the two stars of their teams,
01:26 Ice Fox Bertino and Fearless Ferguson.
01:29 A heated rivalry has developed between these two boys.
01:32 Both are tied for the top league scoring honors.
01:34 And tonight's game will be the payoff.
01:36 As these boys go, so go their clubs.
01:39 The referee for tonight will be that popular arbiter,
01:42 Clean Game Kinney.
01:43 [cheering]
01:46 A favorite of the fans.
01:49 The entire responsibility of the game
01:50 rests squarely on the shoulders of the referee.
01:52 This keen-eyed individual must follow the course of the game
01:55 so closely that sometimes it seems he must have eyes
01:59 in the back of his head.
02:01 [grunting]
02:04 Uh-oh, a penalty.
02:06 There go the guilty players into the penalty box.
02:09 With these stars out, the complexion of the entire game
02:12 may be changed.
02:14 A hush of expectancy settles over the crowd
02:16 as the teams line up for the face-off.
02:18 The referee drops the puck, and the game is on.
02:21 Ferguson's puck over the blue line,
02:22 passed out to the right wing, checked
02:24 by the opposing left wing, who passes the puck
02:25 back to the right defense, cutting in fast,
02:27 picking the puck off the board, now back to the left wing,
02:28 and pivots around the center.
02:30 There's a scramble for Ferguson.
02:31 Boom!
02:32 Boom!
02:33 [cheering]
02:34 Boom!
02:36 Boots has got it.
02:37 He's down the ice, ties for a shot at the net,
02:38 but the goalie puts up a stout defense,
02:40 knocking it away for a beautiful save.
02:43 [cheering]
02:45 Here comes Colum Negrete fighting for the puck.
02:47 There's the shot, and he scores!
02:49 No, no, no, look at that stop.
02:52 Nothing ever gets past that goalie.
02:53 [cheering]
02:56 [whistling]
02:59 Oh!
03:00 [laughing]
03:01 [chattering]
03:02 McCormick, McCormick, the path, and over the blue line,
03:04 over to Murray, Murray cutting over the loose,
03:05 leaves the defense, he tries to draw the goalie out
03:07 of position, there's the shot, and, and, and, and, and--
03:09 [cheering]
03:12 [whistling]
03:15 [cheering]
03:18 [whistling]
03:20 Nice save, fellow.
03:22 [cheering]
03:24 [cheering]
03:27 [cheering]
03:30 What am I saying?
03:31 [cheering]
03:33 The puck shoots out the center right,
03:34 and both teams are battling furiously for possession.
03:36 Here come Bertino and Ferguson out of the penalty box.
03:38 [grunting]
03:41 [whistle]
03:44 And there go Bertino and Ferguson
03:46 back into the penalty box.
03:49 The loose leaves take the play away.
03:50 Kyle takes a pass on the right, Murray, center right,
03:52 oh, well, he sank the puck in a beautiful poke check
03:54 at the end of the--
03:55 There's a long pass ring wide, and a scramble for the puck,
03:58 a little rough play out there, both sides
03:59 are trying to score, and--
04:01 [buzzer]
04:02 And there's the buzzer ending the first period.
04:04 [buzzer]
04:07 In order to give the cash customers a chance
04:09 to sit in their seats, there are 10 minute
04:11 rests between periods.
04:13 [music playing]
04:16 [bell ringing]
04:19 [whistle]
04:22 [buzzer]
04:25 Well, there's the buzzer, starting the second stanza.
04:27 [whistle]
04:30 The team's making the ice.
04:32 Puck is faced off, there's a pass out to the side.
04:33 The loose leaves come up with a play.
04:35 Here comes McCormick, cutting down the side,
04:36 that boy's sure burning up the ice.
04:39 Spinning like a top, he crosses the blue line,
04:41 the defense closes in.
04:42 Wow!
04:43 They really laid it into him.
04:45 [cheering]
04:48 [whistle]
04:51 Hooray for Raleigh!
04:53 [cheering]
04:56 Here come Bertino and Ferguson out of the penalty box.
04:59 [grunting]
05:00 Oh, wow!
05:01 [grunting]
05:02 [whistle]
05:03 And there go Bertino and Ferguson
05:05 back into the penalty box.
05:06 There's a pass out to Bond, and here he
05:08 comes swinging wide with a blinding burst of speed.
05:10 [cheering]
05:11 Next up is Bond, sliced his way through.
05:14 Up comes some fast, picks up the puck,
05:15 takes a shot at the net, and the goalie kicks it away.
05:17 There's another shot, and another, and another.
05:19 The goalie has the situation well in hand.
05:21 No, no!
05:23 He notched the own net for a score, a score, a score,
05:25 a score, a score.
05:26 [cheering]
05:29 And he just won, loose leaves nothing.
05:32 Well, ladies and gentlemen, that score might be enough
05:34 to put the game on ice.
05:36 They line up for the faceoff.
05:37 [cheering]
05:39 [whistle]
05:41 There's a scramble, the puck is forced against the side.
05:44 [cheering]
05:46 [whistle]
05:47 [cheering]
05:49 Here come Bertino and Ferguson out of the penalty box.
05:52 [grunting]
05:54 [whistle]
05:55 And there go Bertino and Ferguson
05:57 back into the penalty box.
05:59 Coming up to the blue line, it's--
06:00 [whistle]
06:01 He's right down the street, trying to knock the count.
06:03 [buzzer]
06:04 And the goalie boots it away from Ferguson,
06:06 and it's a save.
06:07 But the crowd loses its mind.
06:09 [cheering]
06:12 Here's the play.
06:13 Mohawk protects it away from Williams, intercepted by Shaw,
06:15 passed behind to Allen, goes to slip to DePede,
06:16 and there it goes right, right down the middle.
06:18 He shoots!
06:19 The referee's in the way!
06:20 There's another nice save at the net.
06:22 He clears the puck from the front,
06:23 but it's too hot to handle.
06:24 Now both teams are fighting it out on the ice.
06:25 This is anybody's game.
06:27 Riley shoots, McCormick shoots, Berg shoots, Pugley shoots,
06:29 Weaver shoots, DeGrade shoots, Sump shoots,
06:31 Mollie shoots, Bushman shoots, Clark shoots,
06:32 and everybody shoots!
06:33 There's a score, and another, and another, and another.
06:36 The goalies are standing their ground,
06:37 but they've got their hands full.
06:39 It's a three-scoring game.
06:40 Sally's shooting, Moore's shooting,
06:42 Koppelman shoots, Lowry shoots, Clark shoots, Stoller shoots.
06:45 The score is piling up.
06:46 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38,
06:52 there's never been anything quite like this.
06:54 The crowd is going absolutely berserk.
06:56 I've never seen anything quite as spectacle.
06:57 And the crowd loves it.
06:58 And there's a right cross to the chin, and a left over cut,
07:01 and a high one to the center field 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.
07:08 Very tough, very tough.
07:09 Oh, touche!
07:10 And look at that block.
07:11 And look, look down the sidelines.
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, it's a long low drive.
07:19 Straight down the fairway.
07:20 Is it a strike?
07:21 Is it a strike?
07:21 No, a spare!
07:22 Oh, bad deuce, a bad deuce, a bad deuce.
07:24 Rummy!
07:25 Rummy, wow!
07:26 Wow, what a performance!
07:27 What a show!
07:28 It's every man for himself!
07:30 And that's why ice hockey is called a spectator sport.
07:35 [theme music]
