Took some time to re-sync the audio with the video, and it may still not be perfect, but here's a sample of calls by Fred Cusick from Game 5 of the Flyers vs. Bruins on May 16, 1974.

  • Bernie rested this game because in game 6 nobody, including Kate Smith (wink), could have put a goal past him. One of the outstanding netminding performances (game 6) of the 70's, Parent was always worth the price of admission. Like Orr, it was a sad day for The NHL when a stray stick in the eye ended the glorious career of one of the best goaltenders of the goalden age of hockey (only Dryden was better in my book).

  • @617AV86892 I had a feeling that wasn`t the best thing I could have said to you.At least you boys finally won the Cup last year,and I`ll be kind and not remind you how long that was since the previous one.LOL

  • @landrykkb Thanks for reminding me !

  • @617AV86892 And then Bernie Parent redeemed himself in the 6th game when the Bruins couldn't get a bobby pin past him,hence the beginning of the Flyers brief Broad Street Bullies dynasty.

  • @altfactor How time and broadcast technology fly.

  • The 1974 Finals were the first time WSBK ever shot a Boston Bruins' home game with more than three cameras and multiple replay angles.

    I believe there were four cameras (three along the width of the rink on the edge of the first balcony, and a high-level end camera), but that's because the video feed also went to Canada's CBC, and the CBC demanded four cameras and two replay angles, since that's how they did "Hockey Night In Canada" then.

    By contrast, NBC used 14 cameras for the 2011 Finals.

  • This was Game 5 of the 1974 Stanley Cup finals in which the Bruins were facing elimination being down 3 games to 1 to the hated Flyers , the Bruins went on to win the game and all the fights 5 to 1.

  • Good ol TV-38 in black and white where a kid could watch the three Stooges and the big bad Bruins with a wire antenna ! it was one of only 6 stations you could get back then VHF Channels 2 PBS ,4 NBC,5 ABC, 7 CBS , and UHF channels 38 & 56. Great to see the Bruins win the Cup Again !
