“Beehive” with Michel Normandin

[Audio Transcript translated from French]

Michel Normandin: Good evening hockey fans. As usual, I’ll be back to you tonight with another “Beehive” interview. But this one, in my opinion, is very special. My guest is a someone that you have undoubtedly wanted to hear for a long time. In the past, he’s been a frequent guest, but this is the first time this year that he has honored us with a visit to our studios. I will not tax your curiosity any further, however justified, and will present to you the one who really does not need any introduction amongst the amateurs of our national game. Here is Maurice Richard.

Maurice Richard: Good evening, I am pleased to be able to speak to you, through this microphone, to all hockey fans who are listening, and particularly to Canadiens fans.

M.N.: And Canadiens fans can be found in every corner of the province. From Gaspé to Hull, and from Abitibi to the Eastern Townships. It is for these people that I am about to ask you a whole series of questions.

M.R.: Go ahead, Michel, I’m ready to answer you.

M.N.: First, we would like to know how you are feeling since your recent knee injury.

M.R.: The pain is not completely gone, but I have no difficulty skating.
