Hockey
Hello everyone! I’m Rick Fields, and here with me is Bob Copeland.
Howdy folks, and welcome to today’s game! You know, Rick, today is a key game between Russia and Canada. As you know, the winner will move on to the finals.
That’s right, and it looks like we’re just about ready to start the match. The ref is calling the players for the face-off... and here we go! The Russians win possession and immediately set up their attack! Federov gets checked hard into the boards!
Maurice Richard has the puck now, and passes it to the center. He shoots! Wow what a save by the goalie!
Alright, the puck is back in play now. Pavel Bure is on a breakaway! He is flying down the ice! The defenders can’t keep up! Slap shot! He scores
What an amazing goal!
