WATCH: That time the Chicago Blackhawks played against Sesame Street

Grover scores a goal on Tony Esposito. Grover is that good.

From the Chicago Film Archives, we have a glorious piece of work: 16mm footage of the Chicago Blackhawks playing a game against various Sesame Street characters, back in the 1970s.

In it, we see:

  • The Sesame Street characters skate! That... probably wasn't easy.
  • Cookie Monster is an extremely excitable goalie. Really, it just makes sense; a puck is the same general shape and size as a cookie, so he can gobble 'em right up.
  • Bert comes streaking in from out of nowhere.
