Last game at the Montreal Forum - Maurice Rocket Richard ovation

This is the classic standing ovation that was given to Maurice "Rocket" Richard after the last game ever played at the Montreal Forum. The video is UNEDITED and COMPLETE. If you wish to debate the duration of the ovation, please read this first:

1) I am hardcore fan the Canadiens. This is my team. I am a real fan - no character assassination is required to argue with me.
2) I can certify that the video here was taped LIVE and is not edited - in the recent DVDs, its is the exact same length as above with no edits. Besides why would they edit the ovation in the DVDs? Even the official Habs site has it wrong, but it doesn't matter - its what the Rocket represents that is most important.
3) Historians have shown that the duration of the ovation has increased in how people remember it, even those who were present at that memorable game. The ovation has been said to have lasted 7, 10, 12, 14 & even 18 minutes!
4) If you have a longer version of the actual ovation, prove me wrong - I would love to see it. :-)
