Originally posted by After the Whistle View Poste.cat you just confirmed the approximate time frame for me. My game was essentially the same but didn't have all the lights etc. My father created our own NHL where each of the 6 teams played each other 5 time, then a 2out of 3 play off of the top 4 and the the Cup series. Played 3 10 minute running time periods. Some big scores on occasion and a much longer season than anticipated. usually 2 games a night with each of us switching off who we were to make it more even. Loved that game! Played after school with friends.
Thanks for the memory Snively.
Speaking of hockey, Go Cats!!!!

Glad your memory of the game was enhanced "after the whistle". Another win over Michigan would be uplifting .......

There is your secondary scoring, Dan.
I like how Sacco grabbed that puck as a souvenir for Chase Stevenson. :-)
Seems weird not having Umile and Berenson coaching against one another.

Originally posted by Snively65 View PostWe knew the names of all 20 players on each of the six teams, and took turns narrating the play by play (one of us for the Bruins, the other brother for one of the other five teams), just like our favorite Bruins radio guy who lived in central New Hampshire at the time (I need to look up his name). I do not recall that many college hockey players made it to the NHL back then, and for years the only American-born NHL player was Tom Williams from Minnesota, who played on the Bruins first line (the BOW Line), with Murray Oliver and John Bucyk (aka The Chief). Fun times.
Also met future NBA HoF coach Don Nelson at an autograph session at a long-since-departed retail store in Lynn (Greg's hometown), when there was no line at all - they'd just won the '69 NBA title, and Nelson's shot in Game 7 held the Lakers off late. But apparently that line was literally out the door and into the lot the previous day, when Bucyk was there. The B's were so huge, and the Celts (who had just won 11 titles in 13 years in the Russell era) were an absolute afterthought. My, how things have changed in 50 years.
Not 100% sure, but my guess on the B's radio announcer would be Bob Wilson, who handled those duties for decades, probably longer even than Fred Cusick on the TV side.
Be sure to give Mr. Palmer my regards tomorrow night at the Monkey, Snives …Sworn Enemy of the Perpetually Offended
Montreal Expos Forever ...

Originally posted by Chuck Murray View PostMy first NHL hockey memories began with fiddling with the UHF antenna to get the B's and Bobby Orr on the former Channel 38, Bruins Highlights with Tom Larson (for kids who couldn't stay up past the first period or two), and meeting some of the B's (and their kids) up at my uncle's Lynnfield MA home back in the late '60's. My cousins would regale the rest of us with tales of going to school every day with various offsprings of the B's and (of course) Carl Yastrzemski. I could only counter with going to school with a cousin of the Conigliaro brothers - which was actually a pretty big deal at the time.

Oh, yeah, I will try to say hello to Carl for you.
