Man, was Bob a sharp play-by-play man in those days. Reminds me of his radio days in the '70s where he would paint an absolute picture of what was happening on the ice.

This game is a good example of why the NHL went with a two-referee system shortly thereafter.

Right around when the WWF and WCW were starting peak in popularity. Pretty sure the chants came from that.

Then late 90s, early 2000s, you got the "********" chants.

Jesus Christ the officiating back then was beyond terrible.

It was bad for many years, Ziggy. Don't know why the league resisted a two-referee system for so long; I always considered the NHL as a bush league for the terrible on-ice officiating and the fact that the referee swallowed his whistle for entire third periods for a decade no matter what happened in the 3rd.

Thank God those days are long gone.

Ah, I guess my memory isn't so bad after all, I do recall that "King Kong has left the building" call by Jim Fox after Robitaille's goal. :)
