    AMERICAN CREWS
    QUARTERFINALS

    SEMI-FINALS

    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 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.
