WSBK back then broadcast nearly all Boston Bruins' home games, so it's possible the video feed from this telecast was from WSBK, with WFLD adding Lloyd Pettit's commentary.
WFLD Channel 32 was later the FOX Station for my hometown of South Bend, Indiana until the mid 1990s when our local ABC station, WSJV-TV channel 28, switched to FOX programming.
Was Bill Wirtz the owner by this time? And if so that would explain why it was a road game that was televised. For those of you outside of Chicago and dont know. When Dollar Bill was owner President and whatever else he called himself. Would NOT allow home games from Chicago Stadium later United Center to be televised. It wasnt till a few years ago when Bill died and Rocky Wirtz (Bill's namesake) took over the franchise that ALL games home and road were televised!
@Kelski1998 Yeah. Anybody remember the Hawksvision PPV 'network' for the playoffs? That's Bill Wirtz for ya. Granted, they did the exact same thing for the Bulls' playoff games. *_*
Where's Pat Foley??? :)

The announcer said Cashman gets tripped, but it was Dallas Smith (#20)

Maybe WFLD broadcast a weekly Blackhawks' highlight show that aired on March 31, 1976.

At 7:50 Cookie Monster gets scored on, bends over to pick up the puck and then eats the puck. Laughed out loud. It just looked so funny :-)

Tony Esposito's wife looks an awful lot like Kelly Rutherford, actress from the old "Melrose Place" and "Gossip Girl".
