Ok now you're just kissng up!! :veryhappy: Thanks for the Henderson clip. That was the day Canada shut down. 50% of the population watched that game and it was during a week day in the afternoon as it was played in Russia. Schools were let out, businesses were closed. Ahh bars were open .... :veryhappy: I was only 14 they set up TV's and everybody was given the afternoon off to watch the game. Our contribution to the cold war.
Here's some other interesting tidbits .. the soviets treated the players and wives quite poorly. I guess it was an attempt at dampening our spirirts and making us play worse. Wrong!! that just pissed us off, Bobby Clarke went out and broke their star players ankle (by design) and the rest is history... They tried a lot of things to try and fix the games but nothing was going to stop the beer guzzling hosers when there backs were up against the wall. It's an interesting story they should do a better movie of it, a canadian version was done but it wasn't that well done.
