Henderson Scores!
The Summit Series was more then just a hockey series to us Canadians. We were still struggling for an identity and unity as a nation, and this series united all of Canada. Plus, in the heart of the cold war, it was just awesome for us Canadians to kick the Russians asses. If you knew the whole story behind it, including the refereeing, the politics, and the hockey, you would love the Summit Series.
In Game 8, with the series tied 3 wins a piece, the game was tied. With minutes left, the Russian officials informed the Canadian team that if the final game ended in a tie, they would claim victory based on goal differential. With only a small amount of time left, Paul Henderson (in front of 75% of all the people in Canada watching on TV) scored.
Mats Sundin's 500th NHL goal was also a favourite moment of mine as he did it shorthanded in overtime, and he is my favourite player of all time.
