 The network refused to expand "CBS Sports Spectacular" to carry the game in full so instead, the show came on during the second intermission, showed taped highlights of the first two periods, and then showed the final period live.The lead-in to "Sports Spectacular" was "The World's Strongest Man".The then-CBS affiliate in Boston, the old WNAC-TV, broadcast a local college hockey game that led into "Sports Spectacular".
