Greatest and most meaningful hockey series of my lifetime!! 🇨🇦 #Heros

SECOND MATCH 🇨🇦🇨🇦 4 September 1972 USSR 1 - CANADA 4

Fifty two years ago I asked my Nana to go down to MLG and grab me anything she could. So she sweet talked the attendant got in and bought me a program (like the one above) and paper flag which I both still have. This was Team Canada’s only win on Canadian soil. 🇨🇦 Team Canada 1972

After the shocking humiliation in Montréal for a brief moment of time 2 nights later the world once again seemed to be put back on its axis thanks in large part to some excellent goaltending by Tony Esposito + the greatest goal ever scored on Garden's ice. youtube.com/watch?v=FsYL8s…

Always great to hear from thee expert on Team Canada 1972 . 👍🇨🇦

Great shot of arguably the three most impactful players on Team Canada. Phil for his leadership Pete for his timely “shorty” and Paul for his “3” game winning goals!! 🇨🇦 Thx Claude for the tag!

One tough hombre!! He definitely took it on the cheek or was it the tongue in Sweden. Real tough mother tho!!

These just might be the same ones in Claude’s card. Dougeeeeee!! 💙93

52 years ago today in Vancouver after the game four 5-3 loss Phil Esposito spoke to Canada. Did it inspire his teammates? No. Team Canada never heard the speech but Canadians did. It made a difference, a big difference. John U. Bacon Scott Morrison youtube.com/watch?v=d3vyVR…

And the lengthy standing ovation he received at the Gardens not once but twice solidified his status in Toronto and around the league. 💙21

Tim Horton is the greatest Maple Leafs Defencemen of all time!! Here is the Horton Family at a Maple Leafs Christmas Party at the Gardens, circa late 60’s. This large framed piece once hung at the ACC and is spectacular!! Elizabeth S. Brinton
