Four Nations, Canada takes on the world

[thehabhater]

it was an epic series, teachers brought in TVs and we watched the games in classroom and the gym .. and yes, everyone was dancing in the streets, I still remember the headlines in the papers.. Nyet Nyet Soviet..

I was 12. They let us go to the gym or go home to watch it. I did the latter with about 8 of my friends.

In the first NHL game that I went to, Jacques Plante was in net for St Louis, and Tim Horton was on defense for the Leafs so, yes.

very cool, it wasn't my 1st NHL game and i don't remember how my dad scored the tickets, it was my 1st playoff game, Boston and the Habs, I got to see Ted Green and John Ferguson fight.. Habs won 2-1 , Gumper was in net for the Habs and Cheevers for the Bruins.. Orr was playing..

 

[Habsy]

I must say I enjoyed the tournament, despite having limited interest at the outset. Maybe I was getting bored with what we were watching.

Yeah WeHave missed a good tournament

It is certainly weird for us to remember seeing these players live as opposed to on foggy video

I agree. I admit that I was wrong about the tournament. It was way more entertaining than I expected.

 

[Habsy]

Nothing will ever touch #19 in 1972.

Cold war shit

 

[thehabhater]

Cold war shit

I wish that they would us AI to fix the video. History deserves it.

Most of us. I didn't watch the first Canada game. Nor the first usa game.

For all their douchery the Tkachuk's were good for the series. Brought back some old time hockey, not the euro shit.

 

[thehabhater]

If the Tkachuks were Canadian and did exactly what they did, but for Canada, we would be singing their praises.

Their dad is Canadian and taught them the Canadian way to play.

 

[Habsy]

That's what was making me chuckle during the espn broadcast. Most of their players have Canadian fathers.

I watched the first period on ESPN. The play by play was very good and more unbiased than I expected.

 

[Habsy]

PK is a tool though. Intermission was cringe worthy.

Sadly, he is a parody of himself now

 

[Krustchev]

I doubt he cares, he’s getting a nice check from ESPN I suspect.
