First 200 feet is an interview with a man about hockey and football contracts and salaries. Silent b-roll of interview. The rest of the reel is Bruins St. Louis game footage
Stand up interview with player-contract negotiator "Mike" who talks about what sorts of increases there are among salaries for both football and hockey players in the current season compared to the recent past. He says that hockey players are making about $70,000 a year when they used to make about $20,000, but that he expects those numbers cannot continue. After some silent footage of the reporter and the interviewee talking there is game footage of the Bruins and the St. Louis Blues beginning at about 5:40 on the tape. There is strong language at about 9 minutes and again at about 20 minutes. There is footage of Cheevers hurt badly enough that medical help was brought on to the ice.
