Came across this gem that was just uploaded to YouTube yesterday:



This is the MSG Network broadcast of the Calgary Flames hosting the New York Rangers back on February 4, 1982. Includes intermission features, commericals and all the glory of the early 1980's, including an appearance of a pre-Fast Times at Ridgemont High Phoebe Cates at 35:14, plus a hat-trick for my first ever favorite Calgary Flame Kenta!

NHL Game Center Entry

CALGARY, Alberta -- Kent Nilsson scored three goals, including the tying marker on a power play with 2:53 left to play, to earn the Calgary Flames a 4-4 tie Thursday night with the New York Rangers.

With New York's Tom Younghans in the penalty box, Nilsson jumped on a loose puck in the goal crease and slipped it behind New York goaltender Steve Weeks.

Nilsson, who had an assist on the other Calgary goal, increased his scoring total for the season to nine by tying the game twice with a pair of goals in the second period. He recently returned from a severe shoulder injury.

With New York leading 2-1, the 25-year-old center swooped in on Weeks on a breakaway 25 seconds into the period to register his first of the night. Ed Johnstone gave the lead back to the Rangers with a goal at the 15:54 mark, but Nilsson knotted the score 3-3 three minutes later during a scramble in front of the net.

New York defenseman Dave Maloney put the Rangers in front early in the third period, moving in easily from the blue line to slip a backhander behind Calgary goalie Pat Riggin.

Mel Bridgman gave Calgary a 1-0 lead, converting Nilsson's pass at 4:04 of the first period, but Younghans and Steve Vickers scored for the Rangers before the period ended.
