:18:00
I was wondering.
:18:02
When you're singing
the National Anthem...
:18:06
- Well...
- I'm cold.
:18:10
Yes.
:18:12
Which makes what I'm
about to ask...
:18:14
seem like
a monumental request.
:18:17
- Can I get one?
- Okay, everybody, get your newspapers here.
:18:20
- One newspaper apiece. Hi.
- Enjoy the game.
:18:24
Hello. I'm Doug McLeod,
and with me is NHL Hall of Famer...
:18:27
and two-time Stanley Cup winner,
Phil Esposito.
:18:30
It's the Great Alaskan
Hockey Rush...
:18:32
brought to you live
by the National Hockey League...
:18:35
and the Sports Broadcasting
Corporation,
:18:37
pitting the New York Rangers...
:18:40
against a Cinderella team from
the tiny town of Mystery, Alaska.
:18:45
And here come
the red, white and blue.
:19:00
- Look at this! Wow. No respect. I love it.
:19:17
And here come
the boys of winter.
:19:27
All right!
:19:31
Well, there are
only 11 skaters to the Rangers' 18,
:19:35
but also,
it's minus ten outside.
:19:37
That kind of cold
can be rough on the New Yorkers.
:19:39
There's no doubt about it. But Mystery's
going to need more than the cold on their side.
:19:43
- Yeah, Stevie!
- The town's grocer is their best scorer,
:19:46
their fastest guy
is a high school kid...
:19:49
and the captain
is the town sheriff.
:19:51
Like we said,
folks, this is a small town.
:19:54
And the size of this ice surface could
be an equalizer for the Mystery team.
:19:58
- It'll definitely help.
I've never seen ice this big.
