- Color highlights of game 3 of the 1972 semi final series, Chicago at Rangers.

Never should have traded Park and Ratelle. Heartbreaking …
When we picked up Brad Park , with Bobby Orr , it was a dream come true !
Yeah about as bad as trading Seaver 😢 - of course poor beanies ended up with Seaver when Mookie… well you know… and Seaver retired with NY anyway.. so it all kinda worked out 😂🎉
there never was and there will never be an announcer like Marv Albert " shot-save and a beauty by Giacomin - Park takes the rebound over to Ratelle - he crosses the red line - he stick handles around Orr - into Gilbert - shot-score"
How about Kenny Albert?
@@howie9751 You're joking, right? Kenny Albert couldn't shine Marv's shoes.
Is Gary Smith Billy Smith brother?
@@williegordon7899 No. Not related.
Albert was very very good...My fave announcers were Gallivan, Kelly and Albert. we didn't get Albert much in Canada, only when we finally got US Network stations and the odd East Coast afternoon game.
What a wonderful hockey game. wonderful demonstration how the game should be played with few whistle stoppages, great goal tending and marvelous play making.
I got introduced to hockey when I stumbled on a NY radio sports station back in the late 60s that was broadcasting a Ranger game with Marv Albert doing the play by play. His amazing line "He shoots, he scores" just blew me away. Love at first sound.
I think another one of his was "Kick save, and a beauty!"
I used to like “off the face”.
Great stuff....great hockey, the 70s. Thank you.
Bordeleau got NO 2nd assist on Dennis Hull's goal?
Loved Gary Suitcase Smith
3:48 Hawks goalie Gary Smith thwarts a Ranger 2 on 1 and receives an appreciative hand from the New York crowd, as noted by Albert. A level of civility and appreciation from the Garden faithful, for a player on the visiting team, that I'm not sure you see much of anymore.
Canucks goaltender Kirk McLean shutout the Habs at the Forum in the early 90's and when he skated out as the 1st star, he received a standing ovation. Respect and Class
@@glennhankins6927 1978 playoffs, Chicago and the Islanders. Islanders won 2-0 in a best of 3 series. Tony Esposito was the first star in game 2, stood on his head. Nassau Coliseum crowd gave him a standing ovation at the end of the game.
@@lancer3412 Awesome.
I was at this game. Gary Smith was amazing, and should have been the first star of the game!
@@seveglider8406 Just in this video you can see him playing very well. I saw this MSG vault year ago and had forgotten that Smith started one of the games. Tony O missed very few playoff games
For someone who played for so many teams, Smith was a very underrated goalie. I once saw him almost score a goal against the Rangers. I think it was 70-71, a channel 9 game in Oakland against the Seals. Smith skated way up ice, very near, maybe past his blue line. It was late , Rangers behind by 1 had pulled the goalie. IIRC, Smith shot from where he was and it went a little wide of the goal. At that point, no goalie had ever scored a goal.
Awesome video! And Marv in his prime! Thanks for sharing. It sure brings back wonderful memories.
I miss the horns and siren after all the ranger goals back then.
You can see how Marv was exactly on the play with his call. I believe the best radio hockey play by play announcer ever. And the "Big Whistle" doing color. Sal "Red Light" Messina must have been out sick that game.
Marv Albert was a great radio play-by-play announcer. I loved listening to him call the Rangers and Knicks games back in the 60s and 70s. And radio was important because all the home games were blacked out from over-the-air TV broadcasts then (unless you lived in Manhattan and had access to cable TV). But with Marv calling the games, you didn't miss much. It was almost as good as being at the game.
The two best teams of the 70s that didn't win a Cup.
My brother and I were just discussing that point.
If Jean Ratelle had been able to play for the Rangers in the 1972 Stanley Cup finals vs the Bruins, I believe the Rangers would have won that series
I still believe that if Jean Ratelle was healthy Rangers win the Cup that season.
Yup - Jean would probably have won the scoring title as well
Thats right, also Gilbert had an injury that year.
@@buddmannable Ratelle was one point behind Espo 110-109 when he suffered his broken ankle in Game 63. The GAG Line was unstoppable that season.
@@johnhorn3344 Jean was playing some of the best hockey of his career. As were Hadfield and Gilbert. The Blackhawks should have won in the Cup in 71 and the Rangers should have won the Cup in 72.
@@buddmannable shoulda coulda....neither team did...
I always loved the camera position at Rangers games.
I was just thinking about this. It always looks like a soccer game with a ton of players,like the booth is attached to the ceiling.
Well,maybe not a ton,but the surface always looks really large.
Yes! As a hockey fan in Canada who watched just about every game on television in those days, , only games from Madison Square Garden had that look.
Game 4 was Bobby Hull’s last game in a Hawks uniform
Yup, Dollar Bill Wirtz made SURE Hull was leaving!
Yes Mr. WIRTZ was one of the more FRUGAL owners back then hedidnt even TELEVISE the Home Games , Until he died and his Son , Rocky Started televising ALL GAMES home or Away !!!!!! And back then The N.Y.Rangers didn't televise the home games in the 5 Boroughs of New York City either !!!!! In this series in NY wesaw all the games at Chicago Stadium AND IN Chi town they saw all the games at Madison Square Garden !!!!!
@@edmondwynn174 And the Blackhawks started winning Stanley Cups after Bill Wirtz passed away
@@edmondwynn174 Have times changed you can see almost every game in the NHL on TV now
When Hull signed his big WHA contract it disqualified him to play for Canada in the series vs the USSR.
I always enjoyed whenever Rangers and Blackhawks met in playoffs.I always admired Chicago’s style of play…. Very similar to the Rangers
Bill "the big whistle" Chadwick doing color
Nobody Better Than “Marvelous Marv” & The “Big Whistle” Bill Chadwick!!
Great game “Suitcase Smith”
Notice that Rod Gilbert and Vic Hadfield were on a line with Walt Tkaczuk. Jean Ratelle was injured.
Courtesy of a Dale Rolfe shot from the point that broke his ankle.
@@jaymorgenthal9479 >_
The great GAG line…Ratelle Gilbert and Hadfield
Bobby Hull sure could skate.
These were his last games with the Blackhawks , off to Winnipeg and the WHA
He sure could skate. Wasn't any slouch when it came to beating his wife either. Great guy.
Marv Albert outstanding hockey announcer and no one remembers...
Which members of this edition of the New York Rangers had won the Cup before donning the Blueshirt?
Glen Sather was on this Rangers team.
Is their any footage of the Rangers beating the Habs in the 1972 Playoffs ?
Not that I know of.
I have audio tapes of that series along with game 4 from our series against Chicago and games 3 and 5 against Boston. Some are holding up, some where the tape broke when I re-winded all the way.
Is that Marv Albert on the commentary?
Yes, that's him .
Yep, the biter
Marv was doing the Radio. This is a 16MM film of the game with Marv's radio broadcast added. The Big whistle Bill Chadwick was doing the color commentary . In 1972 the home games were only on Manhattan Cable TV and a few on HBO. Only way to see any home games for free was Sunday afternoon CBS games. I was at this game. I had Blue seats from 69-70 to 84-85.
And don’t forget cross dresser
@@jaymorgenthal9479 Weren't some games on WOR?
Nosebleed camera location in gondola hanging from ceiling.
4 games sweep for the Rangers
Then the Bruins took care of the Rangers.
Was Esposito injured?
And to think the previous season the Blackhawks had Dan Maloney and Jerry Korab.
@@williegordon7899He was on the Bruins that season.
What a primitive scoreboard MSG had at the time.
''It was one of the few arenas with no scoreboard/clock hanging from the roof...that changed in the early 90's.
It was better than that 1890’s contraption they had in Chicago Stadium
@@jaymorgenthal9479 8D LOLOLOL Who could read that thing ??
What may be considered "primitive " by today's standards was high -tech at that time in 1972.
Look at all of the helmetless players. Miss those days of the NHL.
I remember watching this game on WGN channel 9. Not a good game or series for my team.
but a great one for my team - Lets Go Ran-Gers
@@sandy3482 Sandy how did you see the game they The Rangers didn't televise the home games regular season OR PLAYOFFS !!!!except if you advance to the Stanley Cup Finals that's on National Television in 1972 was on CBS there LAST YEAR before NBC took over,,,,,!!!!!!
They swept Pittsburgh in 4 then were swept by the Rangers in 4 not good because Bobby Hull would be off to Winnipeg and the WHA
@@edmondwynn174 He was watching WGN in Chicago.
@@liduck52 And WGN was only allowed to show road games, never home games. This one is on the road for the Hawks, so WGN aired it. I remember watching it as well and not being happy with the results. The Rangers were the better team that year.
