CANADIENS VERSUS RED ARMY IN 1975

'Tis the season to be (for me) in the hockey spirit: I just found this on the CBC website archives...

... It is a selection of clips from the New Year's Eve (1975) ice hockey game between two of the best teams in the world at that time -- the National Hockey League's Montreal Canadiens, and the Soviet Red Army.

Sweet stuff; and the one of a kind play-by-play announcer, Danny Gallivan. There will never be another one like him.

Yes, I did watch that game live... way back then; in the "before time".
