Yeah WeHave missed a good tournament

He didn't miss a second

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

He didn't miss a second

He was even calling us "we" despite wanting us to be embarrassed so he never had to hear about another tournament again

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

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..

Yeah we were all headed into the gym to watch games 7 and 8 on a 21" Electrohome black and white TV. My memory is as clear as day about that. The world stopped. History was dead. There was only that moment. And for years after I judged people's hockey opinions based on whether or not they were old enough to remember Henderson scoring the goal. If they weren't, their opinions could be disregarded.

I missed a lot. The 2 US games against Finland and Sweden, and most of Canada-Finland until late in the game when Canada nearly blew it.

Remember when USA was going to cave us in? Good times.

I missed watching games 5-7 live because they aired during school hours. Our teachers were cool, and let us bring in radios to hear the games.

Ah yes the good old days

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.

I don't remember enough about being at the Forum for the first time but I do recall the first game I went to in Toronto:

Minnesota North Stars - Toronto Maple Leafs - Mar 10, 1973 | NHL.com

NHL Gamecenter - Minnesota North Stars vs. Toronto Maple Leafs, Mar 10, 1973 - summary, stats, boxscore, play by play, recap and more.

Team Canada has 11months to figure out their D - will need to be much stronger for Cortina games

 

[hairnova]

Having Theodore and Morrissey makes a huge difference.

Keith Tkachuk is a born & raised Mass-hole, not related to former NYR Walt Tkachuk who was Canadian

His wife however is a Canadian from Winter-peg

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

We are the same age and probably watched it in the grade school auditorium, classes were cancelled that day

Count lived in Verdun so his school's television had probably been stolen

 

[Sal_Butera]

Having Theodore and Morrissey makes a huge difference.

And Peter-Angelo

Those three enormously help transition game, which was almost non existent

 

[thehabhater]

As you would have said back then, it was a pathetic failure they had to score that late to win

The NHL underestimated the talent of the USSR then.
That was a big mistake.

They were as good as we were. And it was a brutal lesson to learn. But we learned how to beat them in 28 days.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Yeah, kind of ironic, isn't it?

Certainly ironic that his handshake gets firmer with each successive defeat.

I can't wait to see "Equipe Quebec" comprised of about half the Laval roster try to compete with McDavid and Company. Should be fun.
