George Hughes started it off late in a double-minor power play when he cruised into the St. Lawrence zone, went by the cage on the left side, and shoveled the back in front for anybody. A couple of onsides kicks by St. Lawrence defenders later, the puck gyroscoped its way by Laskowski. How Watson got credit for the phantom tally is one for Columbo to solve...

A few minutes later, Mikita, weary (he would soon faint and have to leave the game), worn and disappointed, sagged face down against the Ranger net during a whistle and wondered how he could have blown such a chance...
