[quote Beeeej][quote Jim Hyla]Obviously, no local broadcast there so we had our "Viewing Party" at a friends house where we wired a phone up to a radio. I called a friend in Ithaca who put his phone by his radio and in Boston we listened to the play by play. At that time long distance was by the minute so we disconnected and timed our call back for the next period.[/quote]

Luxury!!  When I was young, we had to watch for play-by-play smoke signals, and relayed the information by throwing rocks at the walls of the cave next door in Morse code patterns - and we liked it!![/quote]

You had a cave!?!  Well, aren't we posh.  We threw the rocks at each other in a snow-covered field!

You had snow?! And a field?!? You lucky sonofabitch! We missed the natural beauty of the outside world as the sirens of online conveniences and instant messaging kept us indoors and alone all day!

Just cause MSG can't spell doesn't mean you shouldn't learn ;)

The link for highlights.

The fight is at after the hit at the 2.05 minute mark, but Murray is in the highlight reel quite a few times.

Unfortunately, Bitz is the healthy scratch tonight. OB gets his name on tonight's score sheet, 2 minutes for holding.

Bitz seems likely to get a lot of playing time next year.  O'Byrne not so much.

If the Sharks win, Murray gets his name on the cup. If the B's win, Bitz only gets his name engraved if he appears in a Finals game if I recall cup naming rules correctly.

To have one's name engraved on the Stanley Cup certain requirements must be met. A player must have at least 41 games played with the club or one game played in the Stanley Cup Finals. However, in 1994 a stipulation was added to allow a team to petition the Commissioner for permission to have players' names put on the Cup if extenuating circumstances prevented them from being available to play.

[quote Trotsky]Murray v Parros (Princeton) in the final minute of the first period.  Apparently they go all the way back to HS.

I'd call it a draw.[/quote]

I got a chuckle out of the announcer, after noting that Murray was from Cornell and Parros from Princeton, exclaiming, "It's an Ivy League dust-up!"

There is no spelling that looks like it can be pronounced right. Local pronunciation may be more like WUSS-tah. Al DeFlorio should be the final arbiter, being from the Bay State. Thank goodness the team doens't train in Athol.

The phonetic pronunciation would be "wuss-tah", or, spelled a bit more elegantly 'Wooster'. Regardless of pronunciation, there still ain't no 'h' in the spelling.

P.S. I may not have lived there are long as Al, but I lived a lot closer, 3 towns away.

P.P.S. Don't get me started on Leominster, Peabody, Haverhill, Billerica, or Leicester.

You forgot Concord.

And Olde Newtowne, which is pronounced "kame-bridge."
