RIVER SONG'S PENALTY GAME

‘THE SAINT’
“JUDITH”

From the IMDb:
In the introduction set at a hockey game, Simon Templar explains the rules of the sport. The stock footage varies from a 1930s game to a 1950s game. These were not shot at the Montreal Forum, as normally it would be showing a game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs, which Simon Templar roots for.

So those are poorly recorded off the TV screen frame grabs of the hockey game in the opening of this episode of ‘The Saint’.  So here we see a combination of screenshots from the 1930s and the 1950s (at least according to that IMDb entry.)

If so, why didn’t Simon Templar, the Montreal police chief, and the Northwades notice the changes, including that of the players?

I think one possibility could be that all of Time was happening at once because River Song violated a fixed point in Time. (“The Wedding Of River Song”)

Like I said, it’s just a possibility….

But... if it did happen outside of the episode, then that would explain how my televersion could have been at that October, 1963 hockey game in Montreal as a 21 year old college student - even if I was only eight years and had never been outside of the Nutmeg State.

Coulda been.....

Geronimo!

O'Bservation:
That picture is from the TV movie "The Deadliest Season".  I've got nine good shots in the film and the movie serves as my degree of separation with Kevin Bacon entry.  Meryl Streep co-starred as Michael Moriarty's wife and she starred with Bacon in "The River Wild."
