...next day when we returned to Chicago and get my nose set again." He played the next night, and scored another goal, but Detroit won again to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. Finally came the sixth game, and with it, one of the most astonishing one-man shows in hockey history. At this point, Bobby turns laconic: "They scored, and I went out and got one.

The camera would pan a lovely pastoral tableau. Then the air-raid sirens would scream, and everyone would scramble for one-man, cement-lined foxholes. One sequence depicted a captured American airman. Inevitably, there were affecting shots of injured children and of surgeons working on the wounded by flashlight, and Narrator Greene would ask plaintively: "How many bombs will it take to destroy the tens of thousands of people who move rivers...
