- "That's the Larry Bird of Candlepin Bowling right here!"
(Re-uploaded in better quality and in one piece) Air date: 7/19/1986. Ray McGuirk was looking for his 4th straight win on Channel 5, with this particular telecast featuring Tom Olszta trying to defeat his streak. What followed was one of the best performances in the history of the show on Channel 5 itself, that also broke one of the longest records that was held on the show for almost two decades! In addition to that though, this particular telecast also allowed for a VERY exciting re-match that happened just one month later in the big Championship show itself.
Hope you all enjoy, and R.I.P. Don Gillis.
Obsessed with Tom olszta videos, thank you youtube algorithm for introducing this GOAT to me
Other Candlepin Bowlers would be considered legends, notably Paul Berger, Dick O'Connell, Rosario Lechiara (first to get a Clean Game in this series), Tom Morgan, Tim Lipke, Joe Ashline, Jack Quinn, the Czernicki Brothers, Kansas Snow, Tony LeBlanc, and Rick Martin (one of Candlepin's best spare shooters).
I keep watching these videos and I can’t believe how good they were!!!
It’s a pleasure to see these shows. It’s a shame that they’re no longer on TV.
I 2nd that
You know it’s going to be a good game if Tom is bowling...🐐
Out of all who was on the show tom hard too beat Michael jordan candle pin bowling

I'm 13 and have decided I want to be a full time candlepin pro when I grow up
We just had the 34th anniversary of this classic match. I was born a few months later.
I was in kindergarten
Olzsta's 483 is equivalent to a 161 overall average during this match.
I love the $50 bonus for 3 marks in a row..
bowling can be so weird, tom olszta went nuts in this match and ray mcguirk couln't do a thing and the they turned it around in the big end of season match where ray had a huge day against tom in the final and he came out on top for the big money. tom olszta will always be the goat though.
Tom's 483 stands until Paul Berger rolls his 500 series.
only olszta could make that opening spare shot.
When I was a kid I remember watching Rosario .
I'm from Canada, and I used to watched Candlepin Bowling often on the Maine Public Broadcasting Network that was part of our cable television package in Halifax, and also Halifax Community Television Candlepin Bowling shows.
When ATV had "Belvedere Superpins" series, I usually root for Tony LeBlanc, Bill Black, Rick Martin, and Kansas Snow.
Tony LeBlanc was exciting to watch as he always used "Alley Balls" and still did very well.
Tom Olsztyn is the goat
They should have given him 5000 for new record.
1:40 turning a lemon into lemonade.
The Machine. He maybe misses the headpin twice in 30 frames
Breaks 3 string record
Awe the classic, Tom throws a 483 and loses the championship show because of a 7-10 split.
Where is a video of the end of season rematch and upset?

Tom could have rolled 30 gutter balls in the third string, and he would have still won the match by 20 pins
Is 178 pins the largest margin of victory on the show?
Yes
i always thought of tom olszta as the real life king of the pins. 'KINGPIN'.
The same with Paul Berger, Bruno DeFeo, Dick O'Connell, Rosario LeChiara, Kansas Snow, Rick Martin, and Tony LeBlanc.
@@HalifaxHercules they are all right up there too.
1:20...how the heck does that happen?
I always wished I could use a 10 pin ball in candlepin and be able to use wood in 10 pin 😆

My grandpa bowls in this show but I can't find him "Tom Cennami"
Grest bowler tom !!
@@simplekustomsbyeddiepapand1838 you know who he is??
When you're hot you're 🔥hot when you're not you're not
Poor Ray punched so many times it was laughable.
Been watching Don Gillis Candlepin Bowling as far back January 1970. You'd think after Tom's 150 he'd let up a bit. Give Ray lots of credit for good sportsmanship. In all honesty whenever I rolled a high single and triple there was always that one opponent who turned the to be a problem( putting it mildly).
Even when I was just 14 I rolled a personal high score and of course
Mark Pumphery has the nerve to ask me "Who kept your score, did you roll 3 balls to a box, did you go over the line".and other mean choice words.
Even when I was in the men's league again I roll some high score and my opponent throws a idiot temper tantrum.
Again I can name names but im much better than that.
I used to see Ray all the time at the store he worked at. Nicest guy in the world. Loved taking bowling. He got his revenge on Tom by beating him to win the live show. Tom was just the perfect bowler. His ball goes a million mph and he's scary accurate. Plus it curves a tiny bit at the end to give it that extra punch.
I watched this show in the late 50's and early 60's. Rosario Lechiara was my favorite bowler. My high game was 160 when I was 12 years old.
@@pablolacruz2652 wish I seen telecast when he rolled 164--177--127 = 468 in 1968. way before I got interested in candlepin bowling
@@larry930legendI'm a Ten Pin Bowler but I always enjoyed watching these Channel 5 Candlepin Telecasts hosted by the late GREAT Don Gillis & I AGREE with you 1,000%. I wish they had that telecast when Rosario Lechiara bowled that 468 Triple in 1966, 1967 or 1968. That would be AWESOME. LOVE YOUR COMMENT. R.I.P. Don, I miss you.
Don Gillis definitely showed why Nova Scotians make the best television and radio announcers.
Thing to remember is that Nova Scotia doesn't have one single accent, but have several different variations of their Atlantic Canadian English dialect due to different migration patterns in that province's history, notably "The Foreign Protestants" in the 1740s and 1750s (mostly Montbeliard French, Swiss, Austrian, and German immigrants), New England Planters (1750s - 1770s), United Empire Loyalists (1770s and 1780s), and Scottish Highland Clearances (1770 to 1815).
As someone who is originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and a descendant of "The Foreign Protestants" and "Highland Clearances", I know that Gillis' accent is definitely Canadian Maritimer Nova Scotian.
I think that this is the worst beanwiping I have ever seen in any kind of bowling match.
