All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Commentators were the Philly ones and the one who did most of the game was an idiot. He even said when the fans were going nuts about a not call that Craig Ramsay did a hockey player move where you grab both of the guys arms around your front so that it "looks like" he is holding you.
Funny, but the reason they lost was because of some similar reasons why the Sabres lose today. Barely any power play. Can't hit the net. Poor officiating.
They did look as big as Philly though mostly and they didn't get "out toughed". They just couldn't put away their opportunities. Dudley had several, Lorenz had a few givaways, barely saw Gare. Martin and Perreault had a great opportunity on a two on one with Perreault with the puck and instead of driving on the side, he fell back to the center and had a weak shot on goal.
Back then there was no TV contract. I didn't know the games weren't on TV for home games. They were on till past my bedtime.
Game 3 was the fog game.
Away games were the only ones on (and that was on Ch. 7 - there was no cable coverage until '77) except the rare occasion during the regular season. I still remember that game #1 against Montreal was on local TV.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

But weren't all the games on CBC? I thought the Canadian station showed them all?

yes...but again, very few people in the area had cable TV...you had to have a good antenna, which few people had. We had an antenna and could barely get Ch. 11 in Hamilton. Also, they showed one game unlike today...and it was always a Canadian team.

I still think Hockey Night in Canada played all the playoff games they could, especially the Stanley Cup finals. We had an antenna and lived close to the river, so we got 5, 11 and 9 out of Canada. We also didn't get cable until the early 80s.

Yes and no. CBC had HNIC. Ch. 11 carried the Leafs regular season games and CTV didn't carry at all. There were only three Canadian teams. They didn't worry about broadcasting into the American market because their signal had trouble getting to Buffalo. CBC carried one game a night - Toronto or Montreal for the east coast and Vancouver for the left coast. Vancouver sucked and rarely made the playoffs back then. They probably did show all the games of the finals but again, you lived close to the river. In West Seneca we didn't get anything. And finally, to complicate it, most week night games started at 8PM. As you said earlier, many of the games either started at, or finished well after, bed time for a lot of kids.
