AMERICAN CREWS

QUARTER FINALS
Blues-North Stars, Game 4, 4/12, CBS. Dan Kelly, Bill Mazer

SEMI FINALS
Bruins-Black Hawks, Game 1, 4/19, CBS. Dan Kelly, Bill Mazer
Black Hawks-Bruins, Game 4, 4/26, CBS. Dan Kelly, Bill Mazer

STANLEY CUP FINAL
Bruins-Blues, Game 1, 5/3, CBS. Dan Kelly, Bill Mazer
Blues-Bruins, Game 4, 5/10, CBS. Dan Kelly, Bill Mazer

Note: The video clip of the famed OT goal scored by Bobby Orr in game
4 of the SC Final is the CBS version as called by Dan Kelly. This
archival clip is a rarity as 98% of the time, any surviving kinescopes
or videotapes of the actual telecast of hockey games from this era
usually eminate from the CBC's call. Does anyone know if video exists
or has anyone ever heard the CBC version of the Orr goal? Just
curious.

Note:
The most commonly seen video clip of Bobby Orr's famous overtime goal ("The Flight") in game four is the American version broadcast on CBS as called by Dan Kelly. This archival clip can be considered a rarity since surviving kinescopes or videotapes of the telecasts of hockey games from this era usually emanate from CBC's coverage. According to Dick Irvin Jr.'s book My 26 Stanley Cups (he was in the CBC booth with Danny Gallivan during the 1970 Stanley Cup Final), he was always curious why even the CBC typically uses the CBS replay of the Bobby Orr goal (with Dan Kelly's commentary) instead of Gallivan's call. The explanation that Irvin received was that the CBC's master tape of the game (along with others) was thrown away in order to clear shelf space at the network.
