The call by Gene Hart and Don Earle. Gene Hart was the greatest play-by-play radio announcer EVER. Bar none.
Spent many, many hours glued to the radio listening to him paint the vivid pictures of every movement of the players and puck.

Cool story...when the Flyers beat up the Russian national team back in the 70s, Hart apparently was the only person that they could find who could speak Russian. When the Russians walked off the ice and refused to continue the game, he went down to the locker room and told them they would not get paid if they didn’t finish the game. The game continued without major incident!

Agreed, with Harry Kalas a very close second
