Sharks goalie “Sugar” John Marchin shuts out  the high flying Flyers in a splendid display of puck stopping!  Al Phipps, Ronnie Meltsner and Steve “Barney Miller” Dietrich do the honors for the Fish.  No Flyers highlights.  While serving his holding the stick penalty, the Flyers Chuck Mouraine picks up an unsportsmanlike minor penalty with an entertaining display of four letter words!  Then with the game clock waning – Howard Smith(Roughing) of the Flyers and sub Jim “Vin” Scully(Body Check) of the Sharks exchange pleasantries.  Guess the top spot Flyers don’t take kindly to losing.

Lee with the lone Wings goal.  Pat Collins of the Hawks and Wings sub Lawson both pick up simultaneous unsportsmanlike minor penalties.

These Frenchmen were flying today, as they sweep in grand fashion!  Bruce “Cooler Man” Gooel with the tour du chapeau.  Steve Orr with the deuce.  Singles for Curt Bailey, David Walters and Jimmy “Boog” Powell.  Steve Lemieux with the hat trick assist.  Sharks sub “Vin” Scully scores with just under two minutes left in the contest to wreak Sir Kevin Beebe’s shutout.
