Boroda i wasn't born yet, but I know that the 72 Summit Series was "the moment" in World hockey.

I was born in 78 and was on skates before i could walk.  The pick up games we had were always Canada vs. Russia.

Weird thing is...you didnt ***** if you had to wear the red jersey.  You did have to put up with the ICUP (I see you pee) jokes..but you didnt feel bad cause you were playing for the Rooskies.

And Paul Henderson's goal was a total fluke...I hereby apologize on behalf of my Nation for his BS goal.

Listening to espn radio today they were asking if there has been a sport moment that had that much of an impact since that win.  Now granted their have been some amazing moments but I dont think any have or will ever have the impact that the win over the russians had. What do you guys think, have there been any moments in sports since that compare to that one.
 

In addition to the previous post...

Loser, the men's NHL payer's were on the team.  In 1980 the US were College kids knocking off Pro's.

I dont see the need to have one seperate month just to single out one segment of the population if we dont recognise the other races with their own dedicated month as well.

Dont get me wrong. I have nothing against blacks or any other race. Flowers, as well as crap comes in all different colors

I'm all for equal treatment.
but I am against special treatment.

If we must have a month for this sort of thing
Why cant we just have a "Cultural History month" where we recognise and celebrate all races and cultures.


DRED, your words are the gems of common sense. But the USA mass media is directed opposite way.

I grew up in Madison WI where a kid from my side of town was on the team. Bobby Suter his brother grew up and was a defenseman  in the NHL  Gary Suter. Mark Johnson was also on that team he played at the University here and his dad was the coach.  I know you hockey guys know this but others might not.

I was 16 and a guy that I knew of was on the team.

Bob was a lot older than me and as I remember it he was just this huge guy who we worshipped. becuase he was playing for the Badgers, and made it on the Olympic team  

Anyway the excitement here was unbeleivable. We all thought this was the most awesome event we would ever witness. Even my father ( who does not know the difference betweena basket ball and foot ball) watched. OMG I cannot tell you how happy and excited we all were me and my buddies.   They beat the Russians this was soooooo huge.

I will never forget that day. Heck right now I could drive 2 mins go to his hockey shop and if he is there ask him questions about that time.I do not know him personally but he would give answers and tell stories, he is that kind of guy from what I hear.

Used to be fun. now it is devolving inot a bunch of folks coming to town to see what kind of riot they can start.

Started as a impromptu costume party, that just happened and got better orginised from there. The first few were so cool. no orginised activity just a bunch of people getting dressed in costumes and hanging out drinking beer from milk jugs.

I thought Pres. Carter kept the US out of the Moscow Olympics in protest at the Russian invasion of Afghanistan.

I dont think there were any chemists behind the Russians. The Americans just plain outskated the Russians in the third period. They were better conditioned.

I dont think there is any way that would of happened if the Russians where juiced up.


Aubrey have you seen Suter's son Ryan play yet???? I saw him play a couple of weeks ago at an Admirals game. Man the kid is good!!! he is going to be one hell of a Hockey Player. Maybe the best in the family.

BTW wasnt Buzz Schnieder a Wisconsin guy too????
