00:00When you're on the ice, not a word really needs to be spoken.

00:14That was the beauty of being a flyer.

00:21I've played with a lot of great teams, a lot of great players, but that was the closest group of teammates I've ever played with.

00:27In football, you need that quarterback to be special. In hockey, you need your goaltender to be special.

00:32And Pelley was just beginning to emerge as a player.

00:37Pelley wanted so desperately to be a star in the NHL. It's what he wanted most.

00:46Pelley Lindberg.

00:49Thank you, Barney.

00:52By all accounts, Pelley was not a drinker.

00:58He picked his spots carefully. He would drink, but to be impaired, intoxicated, very rare.

01:09And then the next thing I know, all I seen was a white wall.

01:13I said, Pelley, there's a white wall. There's a white wall.

01:15It was a horrific scene. The car was mangled.

01:20The headlight in front of Pelley had to be back three feet from where it initially should have been.

01:25I read an article, you almost got into the Porsche. Is that true?

01:29Not really. Me and Murray Craven lived three blocks from the establishment, so we just walked home.

01:36Catching the wall right here in this corner, it was devastating.

01:40And he went into cardiac arrest and CPR was started immediately.

01:45Talked to the police. I asked him, I said, is he going to be okay?

01:50And the police officer said, he'll be lucky to live.

01:53The police officer asked us if we had to identify a body.

01:57And I remember looking at Murray and Murray goes, I can't do it.

02:00My gut was turning and I didn't know what to do.

02:02And it passed away when I was holding his hand.

02:07That moment?

02:09That moment, yeah.

02:11So we were destined to be a team.

02:15Pelley, I don't blame you. I never blamed you.

02:20I wish I could take that day back.

02:24And so many people you've touched in your life miss you.

02:28Miss you.
