Wow! René Lecavalier! 😍 We miss him, the voice of La Soirée du Hockey à Radio-Canada from 1952 to 1985!! For French Canadians he was our Foster Hewitt (the voice of Toronto Maple Leafs for 40 years!!).
Accompagné de Gilles Tremblay comme analyste. À mon humble avis, le meilleur duo et 2 références !
Nearly collided with Rene when racing down the steps at the Montreal Forum many years ago. After almost crashing, Rene said, in his exquisite voice "Excuse Moi", while smiling, and continued on. 8D
More like Danny Gallivan. Hewitt was awful.
@@MrPunkforlife Didn't get a chance to ask for an autograph?? Or were you frozen by the experience that you totally forgot??
Good old Mike Sprawlmateer opening up that 5 hole quite nicely!
The immortal Cam Connor wins it by whiffing on a backhand!
and Palmateer whiffing on the easy save!
His whole career was a whiff
@@Deke1 The Habs in 1979 were loaded with players who were household names. Cam Connor wasn't even a household name in his own household.
I don't understand what happened to that guy. He was a really good player in junior and was the 5th pick in the first round of his draft year and he just never got anywhere in the NHL. This goal was one of two that he scored with Montreal and as you pointed out, he didn't really mean to lol.
@@canuck_gamer3359 After Pollack left, Montreal drafting went to hell. Napier was alright, but they passed over Mike Bossy (!). Doug Wickenheiser over Denis Savard or Coffey. Bernie Geoffrion's son over lots of great pros. The dynasty could have continued forever.
Love to see the add free ice and boards.
My sentiments exactly. And the camera work was infinitely better in those days because they did close-ups during the actual play. It's obscene what people tolerate nowadays.
@@CaptZdq1 You don't need close-ups during the play now, because everyone has a 200 inch TV. LOL
I miss these days 😭
They will meet again in the playoffs in the year 2021
- Time traveler
With no fans in the building...
And the habs will win again
I remember that game very well. After the match Cam Connor was interviewed and said that he saw the opening and had just enough time to take advantage of it. Ya right!!
I loved it when the Leafs lost. It didn't matter how pathetic the Leafs were, seeing them beaten by the Habs was delicious.
FYI, the Leafs were not yet 'pathetic' in 1978-79. That came a bit later.
I love it when the Habs were manhandled by the tampa bay lightning in the 2021 final😂
like from baku. thanks. clear video,
Excellent quality
That's actually a move in shootouts today
Fan shots are easier to make when they happen accidentally.
This exactly as I remember Palmateer at that point in time. Spectacular flopper playing totally unorthodox style. This time, it cost him dearly…
Cam Connor was the luckiest man on earth to score that OT goal!He totally fanned on the shot and the puck just so happens to glide through Palmateer's pads! I really don't know if Connor played with Mtl after that 1979 season. He simply left the face of the earth after this goal.
Edmonton claimed him in expansion draft couple of months after this goal and he was eventually to the Rangers for Don Murdoch
He hadn't even played half his career NHL playoffs games yet. Just because you live in the montreal bubble, doesn't mean that players cease to exist when they leave.
Cam's bubble burst lol.
Fluke goal
I was born well after this, Maple Leaf Gardens was just closing and all these players were retired, but I still like this better than hockey today
Your crazy. Today's hockey is much better than this. Today's game is faster and has more skill.
@joe DiMaggio I wouldn't say I'm crazy. That's pretty extreme over a sports preference. I love modern hockey with how fast and skilled it is. All I'm saying is I personally prefer older hockey where it was more focused on the roughness and aggressiveness of the players.
@@marcanthonybattenberg7636 ok your entitled to your opinion. I've been playing and watching hockey since 1978, and I think that the game has evolved so much more for the better since then.
@@joedimaggio3687 The ONLY thing that bothers me is the size of the goalie gear. It's almost impossible to do what Reggie Leach did in the 1976 playoffs - i.e. come steaming down the right wing and just smack the puck past the goalie. Repeatedly. Lafleur did it to Cheevers in Game 7 after this Leafs series. You don't see goals like that anymore (although Nylander had a good one last year against Florida).
When Toronto beat the islanders in the '78 playoffs, the talk around Toronto was that they were about 2-3 players away from winning a cup. They were a lot more than that! In 1978, Roger Nielson was instrumental in trading Randy Carlyle and George Ferguson to Pittsburgh for washed up Dave Burrows (retired in '81). How'd that work out?
@Dwayne Bb Yep. He turned out pretty good. Toronto had a history of acquiring 30+ year old players who were well past their prime. It's almost like they did zero scouting and relied on what they heard or saw from a player 5 years earlier.
SEND IN THE PYRAMIDS
SAvard was the one who caused the winning goal when he stopped the puck and sent it back up. Good old days.
Great memories!!
Cam Connor's daughter is my kid's teacher.
8O
Wasn't it great the way Sittler scored on the very first shot of OT and the Leafs went on the win the Cup? No?
Well that's the way it happened in my head, damn it!
That and many more scenarios like it to this day and on and on and....
Funny to see that Darth Vader banner.
There’s only one problem with this video: Danny Gallivan isn’t broadcasting
11:57 : "Alors médame médalle mésouelle messieurs"
Hahaha! Sacré René
3:02 that was something special
Almost as special as that chicken that Alice served to Shifty Nelson!
The Leafs were still a great team .
Palmater was always interesting too watch, very acrobatic, but sometimes those acrobatics let in goals.
Cam Connor, his only NHL claim to fame, what a BUST he was as the fifth overall draft pick!
Not to point out the obvious but your claim to fame is...????
Looking at Ken Dryden in goal makes me think today they should put size restrictions on goalies.
Now they're all the size of Duncan the Walrus. It's Ridiculous!!
LOL @ Mike Palmateer...
The irony is that Palmateer probably would have made the save if Connor hadn't lost control of it.
My Leafs couldn't handle this team.
You would think they could afford to paint the centre ice properly.
Who knew? Turnbull was on the ice when the other team scored.
Maple Leaf wrestling. The NWA! Frank Tunney!
Risebrough, Gainey, my goodness this was the SHIT.
This looks like it's being played in slow motion compared to today.
Yes, and to be fair, this was 2nd overtime period
@@LDehautexactly. And also today there is no centre ice off sides which makes the game seem faster. Guy Lafleur would skate circles around teams in todays era.
WTF is Ian Turbull doing? He forgot yet again that he plays defence.
Kucherov must have watched this.
Harold Ballard strategy....let's get the smallest sized goalie in the league & trade our younger players for older washed up players so we can pay them less & keep our terrible defensemen who never play the man, around with exception of Salming.
however it did cross the goal line-----soar grapes===that is the series between montreal and don cherry sour GRAPES
That shit is hard to watch.
Remember Harold Ballard - said to the media Salming could go into the corner with an egg in his pocket and emerge with it unbroken 😅😅
Hammarstrom.
They play 5 periods just to have a botched move slide in along the ice which could have easily been blocked by the paddle if Palmateer wasn't such a spaz in nets.
cheap goal but theres no style points in hockey ...
I thought this was 1978?
They met two years in a row 78&79
@@NankerPhelge65 Montreal swept Toronto in 1978 and 1979. Toronto's win in game 2 (2021) was their first against Montreal (in playoffs) since 1967.
@@michaeleaster1815 and probably their last for another 50 yrs lol
Amazing how hockey was exciting back then because you never knew what the puck was going to do. The shots were purely random. But it was so slow !! No player, even Sittler or Lafleur would make today's NHL.
Huh? Sittler is an all time great and Lafleur is probably the best NHL player of the 1970s.
Exactly my thoughts! It might be because it was second overtime and everyone was tired, but there was absolutely no pace in this video. Players nowadays are much faster and more skilled, thanks to training regiments that didn't exist back then
@@estellechoq9536 Also Guy Lafleur drank like a fish and smoked like a chimney. Does anyone think a chain smoker would be able to play in the NHL today? NO chance
@@smokesletsgo2374 clearly you have no idea how long shifts were back then. News flash: they were way longer than the 45 second shifts in today’s hockey.
@ lonkylaine educate yourself before you post. Back then shifts were much longer than the 45 second shifts in today’s hockey.
Did you know that it was not uncommon for center phil esposito of the boston bruins to stay on the ice for five minutes? Do you think today’s players could go full speed for that long?
Lame effort by the defenceman
Typical multiple O.T. N.H.L. game,, They usually start off fast paced with a lot of scoring chances within the 1st 10 minutes, But after that they tend to get very defensive and end on a quirky goal. They either set to end quick or go on forever
frickin french
so here we go again 42 years later. This time its going to be the Leafs who will win the series.
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch!
Whoops!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL ..... 8D
Wrong again Bob
40 years later, and the Leafs and Habs have not met in the playoffs since.
both rarely get to the playoffs anymore
@@Deke1 That is more true of the Leafs, but not so much for the Canadiens. In the last 40 years Montreal only missed the playoffs 10 times. In the last 10 years they made the playoffs 6 times (missing 4 times).
In the last 40 years the Leafs made the playoffs only 21 times. In the last 10 years the Leafs only made the playoffs 4 times.
They even put them into the same division hoping that they would play each other. Nope.
The dream now comes true.
That never works out for the Leafs anyways.
3:32 Can we marvel at how an NHL player from this period (Dave Tiger Williams) has a worse stride than a peewee hockey player does in 2021?
Palmateer had to make that save. Garbage goal
Loved it. The popcorn fart Palmateer fanning on a soft shot from a player he couldn’t use his on. With Salming and Maloney on the ice. Doesn’t get better than that.
you mean Turnbull and Hutchison on defense?
Sprawlmateer sucked!!! Mr. 5 hole himself!!! 🤣
Unfortunately on CZcams, usually the videos are in English
Cest bonne. Jattends francais
So you're an asshole who complains on a french video? Perhaps you should check populations, loser!
That was some sloppy hockey and the Habs handling the puck like a hot potato not some of their better hockey.Even the goal was sloppy and lucky I assume the players were nervous with fumbling hands.
I have no idea why I thought Palmateer was a good goalie when I was a kid.
The winning goal was not Palmateer's fault. The Leafs made a serious error in their own end, not controlling the puck. Montreal seized upon it... and a junior-level player would have scored on that play: right in front.
@@34Packardphaeton That's bullshit. Right through his legs on a whiffed backhand. No excuses.
@@leafyutube Connor tried to deke and Palmateer opened up going for the poke check on the deke. But Connor lost the puck and the deke never came.
In Ken Dryden's book, Dryden didn't think much of Palmateer, writing that he lacked discipline (to best of my recollection).
Shooters figured him out. They'd make him make the first move and he (Palmateer) would be caught out of position, often flopping on the ice in order to stop the puck.
Palmateer came up with a 1-0, 39 save victory over Montreal in 1976.... and when the 2 teams met again, 4 days later, the Habs fired 9 past lil' Mike !
What a snoozer!
What a weak goal
weak goal or not, what did you expect, Habs were again a dynasty at that point...
going on their 4th straight cup win... now they recruit from the Shire....bottom team.
Boo
I'm a Habs fan for over 40 years. I can honestly say watching them all those years that Bob Gainey added little to no value to the team. He was an overrated useless putz.
Boring as fuck watching hockey in French l don't do it for so long haha!
