At last! The French version - Paul Henderson's goal

[PrimumHockeyist]

That it took me so long to find this - more than a decade of half-hearted attempts - is testimony to my French language skills.

In the end, it took someone else to show my the way. Merci, Mathias Marcel !

1 of 2 - I would like to know the announcers' names,
2 of 2 - It would be cool of others could translate, as I hesistate to paste anything from google.

Without further adieu . . .

Wow, what a find, have never heard this before.

The play-by-play was done the the great René Lecavalier. He was the first voice of La soirée du hockey, Hockey Night in Canada's french counterpart, between 1952 and 1985. Up to these days he's still a legend in Quebec. He established most of the french vocabulary still used today in hockey broadcasting and did it with eloquence and elegance. His heritage is simply immense.

His color analyst at the time was Gilles Tremblay, the recently retired Habs left winger. He had a glorious post-playing career in the media, working at La soirée du hockey for 27 years.

The video would roughly translate like this :

-''Cournoyer moving up. Oh! Henderson lost the pass. He fell down. And in front of the net, Henderson scores!''

-''This is a victory by a score of 6-5. And now I think that every words are superfluous... Canada who had lost the first game Soviet Union, gets the win, wins the series, with 3 wins out of 4 in Soviet Union.''

-''So there it is. Those two great rivals ending the battle by shaking hands, and this historic series comes to an end in absolutely incredible fashion with that dramatic goal from Paul Henderson.''

Rene Lecavalier and Danny Gallivan. The two greatest play by play guys of all time bar none. It's not even close.

They are the gods the rest are mere mortals.

There must be a Slovak version somewhere!

I'm looking for it, we should try to get as many versions of this goal as we can, after all, it's the greatest goal in hockey history hands down.

Should be required viewing in every elementary school world wide.

O hope so.

Naaa, i think the greatest goal in the hockey history was from Peter Bondra in WCH 2002. I hope, there is also a French version. Better - Canadian French.

Is there a version out there in Russian? That’s the one I’d like to hear.
