Ce fut un privilège, un honneur imprévu à la demande d'un ami de sa famille de réaliser un vidéo à partir d'archives fournies par sa famille,. Avec l'approbation de son épouse '' Cricri'' Christiane. Le vidéo a été présenté lors d'une fête entre amis et journaliste à Montréal pour célébrer son premier Norris. J'ai malheureusement perdu ma copie du dit vidéo. Par pur hasard, si Raymond , Cricri ou sa tante Lorraine, épouse de Maurice Pion. possédait encore une copie, j'préciserais vous l'emprunter pour m'en faire une copie la retourner dans les plus brefs délais.
Inspiring and amazing. I played for Ball State in the late 80s / early 90s and knew about Mr. Ealey through Toledo game magazine/programs when we played them. I always thought ‘how was that even possible that he led UT to a 35-0 record’, and I had never heard of him? Glad I know now. What a great man.
This clip is so good I just went to comment the exact same thing one month later , not realizing I already did it , couple drinks no big deal. LISTEN TO THIS CROWD
I heard this "May Day" call when I was 6 years old and at that time, i thought the commentator was saying "mayday mayday mayday" like if he wanted to make a metaphore. It was the last moment of the Bruins and their "plane" was crashing. I only realize when I got older that the guy was actually called "May" hahaha
When the panthers lost to Av in 96. Sweep They lost to a very good team. But no shame making the cup in just their 3rd season. They had a lot of respect for the Avs too. It took them 27years to make it back lose again then win it this year 2024. In their 30th season. All the ups and down the years in between and finally win. This was a great moment with borque who deserved this. Paul Maurice on the coaching side just experienced this moment
I was a 12 yo old Ranger fan listening to this game on the radio since they only showed the road games on WOR and we didn’t have cable yet. Went from NOOOOO after Espo was stopped to what the heck is going on there? I think I saw it on the news eventually.
23 years later and Gary Bettman has barely aged and says the exact same thing before handing out the cup last night. Meanwhile, the cup handler looks like he's aged 40 years since then hehe
1:41 "And after 22 years... RAYMOND BOURQUE!" CLASSIC call by Gary Thorne. Also, congratulations, Florida! You have redeemed yourself for 1996 and 2022. Enjoy this Stanley Cup victory in 2023-2024!
Looking back on this prior to Game 7 of the 2024 finals, you forget to acknowledge this Avalanche squad might have been the most loaded roster of talent maybe since the Islanders' dynasty...maybe the Oilers' dynasty. Borque, Roy, Forsberg, Sakic...all in the HHOF. Blake is in the IIHF HOF.
Bring back Gary Thorne to hockey playoffs!....ps i gave bourques son chris a concussion at hockey night in boston...prob the most memorable thing i ever did 😂 sorry chris
I remember seeing this live and recording it on VHS. Fuhr had started the game and was pulled or got injured if I can remember correctly. Classic call. Rest in peace Rick.
if you weren't alive at the time this happened, see the jacket on the left at the end....everyone who loved sports had one of those of their favorite team
Grew up hating the sabers in the 90’s/2000’s when they had a little rivalry going with the flyers. That said this is one of the best calls in sports history. Unforgettable.
