Unforgettable Moments
September 28, 1972
GAME 8, THIRD PERIOD,
Montreal, Canada
THE SERIES WINNING GOAL by
PAUL HENDERSON
(P. Esposito, 19:26, GWG)

"It's all over in a second. Tretiak is still flat on his back. Henderson turns like a man entering the sunlight for the first time and laughs for pure joy raising both arms and his stick into the air, and leaps straight into Cournoyer's arms. "
Roy MacSkimming, Cold War

"Cournoyer has it on that wing. Here's a shot - Henderson made a wild stab for it and fell. Here's another shot! Right in front - THEY SCORE!!! Henderson has scored for Canada!"
Foster Hewitt

"I just thought, 'How the heck can we live with the Russians beating us?' So you tell yourself, 'We're not gonna lose.' "
Paul Henderson
