but for most Canadian's of that generation the 1972 summit series stands out as featuring the best hockey of that era

I know my generation will remember this game just as fondly.

I just hope the NHL is in Sochi! Bettman is just using it as a bargaining piece for the new CBA, which is not cool in my books

I am not a big fan of shutting down the NHL for 3 weeks mid season.

I would much rather see them go back to a Canada Cup / World Cup format with the tournament happening between NHL seasons.

Congratulations to all the Canadian BOTL and SOTL's. Hope you enjoyed a legal Cuban smoke after the victory.

That was a great game today. The US scoring with 23 seconds left in the game was awesome. Congrats to team Canada on the gold. The team USA should be proud of their performance as most people did not expect them to even medal.

Oh no doubt, he was amazing throughout the entire tournament! I just meant I felt for the pain he must have been feeling at that moment. It's not like he pulled a Tommy Salo or anything.
