Park and Rolfe showed a lot of class. I met Barry Ashbee because his son played on the same club I played for but he was a few years older. He was awesome.
That ain't just any commentator going on the ice, it's Brian McFarlane, who was pretty famous in those days. BTW, the linesman he talks to is Matt Pavelich.
Are you kidding, Brian McFarlane getting on the ice to announce the injury with what looks like a tv antenna on his head...Pretty hilarious, (McFarlane not the Ashbee injury which ended his carear) but innovative for sports broadcasting in the 1970's. Could you imagine Pierre Maguire doing that on an NBC or TSN telecast today.
@wickedbuzzproduction It was the same series. Schultz beat up Rolfe 3 games later.

Ashbee was a tough competitor, and from all reports, a great team man and family man. He is missed.

Brian McFarlane apperantly got a strip torn off him for going on the ice from NBC.
I say good for him. B-Mac was always a class act.
