Описание к видео 1/19/1971 National Hockey League All-Star Game East-West Boston Garden Bruins' Bobby Orr No. 1 star

This video is of the Jan. 19, 1971 National Hockey League All-Star Game between the East and the West at Boston Garden, a contest in which Bruins defenseman Bobby Orr was named the No. 1 star.
It is the Canadian Broadcast Corporation broadcast, with Danny Gallivan on play by play and Bob Goldham on color. Between periods, Ward Cornell is host, Brian McFarlane does interviews, Jack Dennett has ASG trivia, and Babe Pratt provides replay analysis.
The East roster was dominated by home-town Bruins, including Orr, Phil Esposito, Johnny Bucyk, Ken Hodge, Ed Westfall, Dallas Smith, and John McKenzie (injured).
The West roster was filled with Chicago Blackhawks, including Bobby Hull, Dennis Hull, Tony Esposito, Stan Mikita, Keith Magnuson, Pat Stapleton, Bill White, Pit Martin, and Chico Maki.
Harry Sinden, who had coached the Bruins to the Stanley Cup in 1970 and then retired, came back to lead the East, and Scotty Bowman, who had coached the St. Louis Blues in that '70 Cup final then became the team's GM, was back behind the West bench.
A lot of fun little things to note: It was nice to finally put a face to the great play by play man Gallivan ... Espo Brothers Phil and Tony busting chops was classic ... The Bronx cheer for East goalie Ed Giacomin was music to my ears ... Classy of the Boston fans to give such nice ovations to Bobby Hull, Gordie Howe, and of course their own young No. 4. Less classy was the hooting of Magnuson, but let's face it - he deserved it ... I kept a bit of Garden organist John Kiley playing "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head". Burt Bacharach must have been thrilled ... Some have decried a lack of action in this game, but having watched it I believe there was the proper amount of hustle for an All-Star Game. It did seem like the close quarters of the Garden clogged things up a bit, especially in the third period.
If you like this one copy it now; I've got a feeling someone might try to flag it. But if so I will appeal, as after 50+ years this should be in the public domain (it wasn't currently up on YouTube).
Copyright NHL, CBC, or any other party. I don't claim the rights to, and don't profit from, this video. I just posted it for historical and educational purposes, and for those who will enjoy it as much as I did.
