Printed-comic illustration of Calgary Flames heavyweight Sandy McCarthy, curly-haired and bearded, in a red number 15 sweater with a gold waist band, raising his right arm with one finger pointed straight up while a linesman in black-and-white stripes walks him along the boards. A hot ember line traces both men and glowing embers drift through the dark air, the crowd behind the glass in deep shadow.
