I still remember an interview Cournoyer when asked if he was worried about playing Philadelphia in the playoffs and their physical way of playing and Yvan said: You can’t hit what you can’t catch. :-)

Cournoyer, the Road Runner.

[@stevenlanphear6920]

Absolutely electrifying ... that was Cournoyer

[@Vic-cr5eq]

I lived through the best hockey by far. Today's generation can't understand the sheer love of the game back then.

[@kyokogodai-ir6hy]

Give some credit to Brad Park. That was a beautiful pass!

[@leafyutube]

Trademark goal by the roadrunner.

[@ericmartinbosse8405]

Cournoyer (road runner) had an assist on the great "Henderson" goal that shook the hockey world. Beep Beep !

[@PHOTOGRAPHYBYDEREK1]

This is why Yvan was nicknamed Roadrunner. From 0 to 20 in 3 seconds.

[@vincentbarbeau3031]

Goal by Cournoyer, assist by Park. Two great players.

Loved The Roadrunner, my favorite Canadien in the 70's

[@Classicrocker6119]

Tape to tape from Brad Park turns into an awesome goal from the Roadrunner! This was a key goal especially after the loss in Game 1.

my favourite player growing up. loved those old jerseys, they should bring them back

[@AJ-tn3uu]

The jump he gets on the defenseman is still breathtaking nearly half a century later, when a lot of footage from that era looks like the players were skating through glue.

[@mjmorriplymouth]

Ragulin must have thought Cournoyer would have to hold up at the blue line, but when Park hit him in full stride with that great pass, it was all over.

[@September2004]

The most amazing thing to me about this goal is actually Park's passing. It looks like it could have been easily intercepted but he made a tape-to-tape pass.

[@zeppelinmexicano]

Cournoyer and Park looked like they had played together for years.

[@408Magenta]

The roadrunner on a tear. Never get tired of this.

[@jackson32]

In the context of when in the game and series this was scored it was a very important goal. It was a moral boosting goal and helped the canadians to win the all important 2nd game. If they had gone down 2-0, it could have gotten ugly.

Roadrunner.....the Commie's after you....Roadrunner....if he catches you you're through
