I'll give you the drama aspect, that is unmatched. But the best in terms of quality is definitely the 87 Canada Cup. 3 games, all 6-5. OT, 2OT, winning goal in the final seconds. It doesn't have the outside influence or the geopolitical aspect which makes 72 the gold standard but in terms of hockey on the ice, it's 87.
Me too and I'm from boston.. The only thing that was a little odd was that coach that kept flipping off the audience nonstop... It's like OK let's take the high road from the commies I would have given a few myself but then I would have calmed it down
Joey Materese the game is infamous for the brutal officiating which saw Harry Sinden, our VP, being arrested for arguing a disallowed goal. Pete Mahovlich jumped over the boards and started swinging at the Red Army soldiers with the rest of team Canada following. The Soviets did everything possible to steal the series so it was really a collective ‘fuck you’ to the commie dicks in attendance, and certainly not the players.
My ex-girlfriend was from Montreal and was 13 at the time of the Summit Series. She said she had never seen her Dad cry before until after Henderson's goal. There were probably hundreds of grown men who teared up at this. I know I did and this was nearly 50 years ago and I'm a Yank!
You have no idea what this meant to this country .Twenty million population and an estimated sixteen million Canadians watched it on TV or listened to it on radio that day.The streets were a ghost town.Every school room,business,gas station or bar had the TV or radio on Sid's goal was big,Mario's goal was big,but they weren't HENDERSON BIG!!!!!
I was 12 at the time and remember silently crying at school when the Soviets were leading. Oh the joy when this goal went in, and equal joy in 1980 when Al Michaels said 'Do you believe in Miracles?' Cheers neighbour!
I am doing citizenship test. Came here to watch this goal while reading discover canada book. Found this goal was very important to Canadian who are old now but the memory is young and ever green. I am jealous for Mr. Henderson.
Ya...the funny part is that Henderson was really not such a standout player with the Leafs...unless I"m just not remembering him properly. Ellis was as I remember him. He was not a clutch player...and was constantly shooting pucks over the end glass...or losing the puck when carrying it. The Leafs were a pretty shitty team in 72, and Pal Hal would be squarely to blame, of course. He was such a douche.
I was in school, our teacher wasn't into hockey so we weren't tuned in to the game. My brother's class was listening to the game on the radio on the floor above us. We knew the game was in its final stages, and then we heard the muffled roar come through the building when Henderson scored. Strange how something that you don't witness directly can still be such a lasting memory. I can still feel it, almost 50 years later.
Phil Esposito passed within two feet of me when he was signing autographs in a mall three years ago and chewing gum like his life depended on it. NOBODY would mug this senior, still in great shape!
This was for ALL NHL fans not just in Canada but in the US also. Those of us in the US who are Original Six fans love Henderson as much as the Canadians do.
I don't care what the rules or requirements are, or that Paul Henderson himself says he doesn't deserve it, but put him in the hockey hall of fame...game winners in games 6, 7, and 8.
I was still a teenager in high school when this happened and I remember how the entire school -- hell, the entire COUNTRY -- shut down during this game.... I am amazed that the school roof didn't shoot straight into the sky when that goal was scored! We were all gathered in the cafeteria, watching on these little TVs scattered around the room (probably black-and-white but I honestly can't remember for sure) and the place just exploded. I'll never forget it!! Still one of the best moments of my life that didn't involve the births of my children lol To this day, you can say the name "Paul Henderson" to just about any Canadian and get instant understanding!
After being tripped by a Soviet, instead of staying down and hoping for a penalty like today's players Henderson gets up and scores the biggest goal in international ice hockey history.
I was hitchhiking across Canada (Calgary to Montreal) during the series and never missed a game. I saw one game in someone's trailer, another in a motel and another 2 games in a policeman's home. I was an underage minor at 15 so I was picked up by him (my ride was driving too fast in heavy fog) and stayed in his home for a few days while my father arranged my transportation back to Montreal. I made it home for this game.
I was in Quebec to commission a brand new destroyer Sept. 30 1972 , HMCS Athabaskan , on game day our galley was not in operation yet , so for lunch most of the ships company went to the local dockyard pub , with much to do yet on our new ship 1300 came and nobody was going back to work , I think even our Captain was there ! , when Henderson scored the now famous goal , the whole place went crazy , Canadian history being made . Atha B was none the worse from our abandonment and went on to serve our country for many years . We Fight as One , HMCS Athabaskan , 282 .
I watched this live and the transmission was making me nauseous and pissed off all at once and I was 6 sitting in my grade one class. I have VHS, lol. I have also discs and special addition and they all have those transmission interruptions. It was incredible times and to fly teams into USSR was already risky. It was absolutely pandemonium in Canada when we saw that last goal.
Phil Esposito doesn't get enough credit for this goal. He put the puck right where it needed to be for Henderson to put it in. Espo is often underrated as a scorer of garbage goals, but whenever I see these old games I am impressed by his ability as a playmaker. If he wasn't putting the goal in the net himself, he was setting up his teammates, giving them the best possible opportunity to score.
People remember Gretzky beat his single-season goal record when he scored 77 in 1981-1982. They forget that prior to that season, Esposito also had the single-season scoring record from the same season (70-71) when he had 152 points, which Gretzky also beat in that same season.
Paul Henderson is rightly remembered as the hero of that series for his heroic goal (in fact, he scored the winning goals in 3 straight games) -- but Phil Esposito carried that team, and the country, on his back. He was the true hero of the series.
Not one Russian should have entered the Hockey Hall of Fame until Henderson got in. It's a shame that he's not in the hockey Hall of Fame yes scored winning goals in the 6th 7th and 8th game, the greatest goal in Canadian hockey
The HHOF is a creature of the NHL. Many years ago they chose to punish Paul Henderson for signing with the Toronto Toros of the WHA by not inducting him into the hall when his time came... similar to how the NHL dictated that Bobby Hull would not be allowed to play for Canada in the '72 series because he'd signed with the Winnipeg Jets.
I was in grade 7 Lord Selkirk Elementary . East End Vancouver.. the whole school was shut down for game 8 and the teach, mr, Phibin broke out an 11 inch b/w Japanese portable tv. When that goal was scored the whole world as far as I knew went totally nuts. For our cold war generation this is up there with VE and VJ day... 🇺🇦🇨🇦!!
Very interesting - Garnet, Paul's father, is my grandfather's nephew, my father's first cousin. Paul is twenty years older so we just call him "uncle Paul." My two brothers ruined it for me, a girl, when they kept asking Uncle Paul for money for their lousy investment schemes. I've seen Paul around town, Toronto, over the years. I stood right in front of him while he gave his talk. I saw him at the CNE where he signed a family photo of us all at the Pt Clark family picnic together. He couldn't remember me, just a girl. He asks me, "Which one are you?" I tell him Don & Ruth's daughter. At the Oakville Prayer Breakfast, when he was thought to be dying of cancer, I was surrounded by crying, weeping people. I didn't mention that I was related to Paul. It's all very interesting how one can live in parallel orbits in very different worlds yet be related by blood. My mother used to talk with Eleanor and I would so like to talk with Eleanor about my mother, now gone, but have not had the courage to reach out to her.
@@wombatwilly1002 yes it is. it says "In 1972, Paul Henderson scored the winning goal for Canada in the Canada-Soviet Summit Series. This goal is often referred to as “the goal heard around the world” and is still remembered today as an important event in both sports and cultural history"
Both teams were exhausted at this point. The first game had the Soviets playing keep away with the puck but towards the end of this game their sticks fumbled everything they touched
Tretiak was the best player on most of those Soviet teams of the 70's. His goaltending is what kept them in games they otherwise wouldn't have won. His being pulled after the 2nd period of the 1980 Olympic game against the US was in his words "the lowest point of my career".
If Cournoyer doesn't intercept the clearing pass, no goal. If Esposito doesn't chip it back at the net, no goal. If Henderson doesn't hustle back to the front of the net after being tripped, no goal. A combination of good hustle that the present Leaf organization can learn from.
The Canadian team was woefully out of shape at the beginning of the Summit Series. If my memory serves me their was a break in between the first four games in Canada and the last four games in Moscow. I’m pretty sure the Canadien team played some exhibition games in Europe during that lull. They also used it to get into game shape. It’s amazing they came back to win it in Russia. Phil Esposito was incredible throughout the series. He was a deceptively fast skater, he was a beast in front of the net. Paul Henderson was spectacular because he liked playing the European game. He was an amazing skater and the bigger ice surfaces in Europe were well suited for his game. We can’t forget the Canadian team did resort to a wee bit of thuggery in the games in Russia. Ken Dryden was terrible in the series , he never played well in International play. The rest of the Montreal Canadian contingent played well.
Between the four games in Canada and the four in Moscow, Team Canada played two very rough, and by many accounts poorly officiated games against the Swedes in Stockholm. They won the first game (which was officiated by the same German referees who would work the sixth and eighth games of the Soviet series) 4-1, and tied the second game 4-4. Many of the Team Canada players said that it was a very strong bonding experience for them, as they realized how much resentment there was towards them by not just Russians, but European players in general. Many of the Canadian players were out of shape because they, by their own admission, didn't take the Soviets seriously enough. Going into the series, virtually everyone in Canada figured this would be a cakewalk - sure, the Soviets had played well against our top amateurs, but now they were up against our best...(most of) our top (NHL) professionals..for many it wasn't a question of whether Canada would win, it was how lopsided it would be.
Not much you can do with low resolution footage from an old satellite feed from when it was just starting out. At the time it was amazing to actually be able to watch a live broadcast from the other side of the planet at all!
It was a nice show of respect for Tretiak. Players tap the pads of their own goalies as a show of support. Mahovlich was just acknowledging how Tretiak must have been feeling in that moment. Class act.
You gotta love the "fuck you" from the coaching staff guy....after the Henderson goal...lol. That's something that would be unheard of in the NHL. The tension was so thick around this whole series.....especially with the communist police or military everywhere. I'm sure their rooms were bugged, as the players thought was happening.
Russians were just lucky that Bobby Orr and Bobby Hull, Canada's two best players at the time, were not able to play. Orr was injured and Hull was deemed ineligible because he chose to play in a different league from the NHL (the WHA). With those two in the lineup the series probably would've gone much more favorably for Canada. So Russians, just be happy you had your best player for 6 games. We didn't have our TWO best players for the entire series. That's a fact.
no doubt. Hull was in his prime yet. and Orr , the greatest to ever play , definitely in his prime. thats huge. Orr could have covered up for the mistakes the first 4 games. and i think we know Bobby didn't let himself slide in the offseason. hockey was his world. he would have been in shape easily
Watching that entire shift and, wow, Serge Savard was a turnover machine. Thankfully didn't cost Team Canada the series; the coaches should have used a hook to pull him off the ice.
Hmm. Mahovlich got yelled to the bench - actually by on the bench Henderson. If 20 got the goal instead of 19, or at least been on the ice for it - then I doubt 20 would be tapping the goalie. Henderson was the player coach there and he made a brilliant move in more ways than one.
a great goal from a broken play. Canadian players never gave up it seemed a long shot and the soviets skating style wouldnt have produced a play like it.......o canada.
I love how the video goes choppy at the critical parts . Even more sad that Paul Henderson is not even in the Hockey Hall of Fame with this shot!! They are to liberal now and rather show and highlight transgender and no name women hockey "players" in the hall of fame more then this. Depressing!

obviously don't know how old you are, I'm 59, saw this series live, so and with full respect you have to keep things in context and perspective, something, again, you will gain as you age when younger people of the 2040s, say, tell you that 2018 hockey is slow. This is nearly 50 years ago now. Think of 50 years back from 1972 you're talking 1922 and how much faster these 1972 guys seemed then compared to 1922 and yes there are early videos. Styles of play, equipment, change, doesn't mean great players of then weren't great players or wouldn't be now if you had a time machine and they benefited from new means of fitness and on and on. I'm of the opinion that things always get better but, great players are great players, they can only have played in their own era. I agree, hockey is much faster now but even in the 2018s it's much faster than the heyday of say, Gretzky in the 1980s so is he and those great Oiler teams shit? Of course not. This applies to any sport and life in general.

Why has this video not been cleaned up after almost 50 years and improved technology.
Not much you can do with low resolution footage from an old satellite feed from when it was just starting out. At the time it was amazing to actually be able to watch a live broadcast from the other side of the planet at all!
These tapes were accidentally erased and had to be painstakingly restored
Besides,what can you do with that the way the signal was.
Yvan Cournoyer very long shift on that final goal.
i like that littl-tap from pete mahovlich at 1.30...wish he d try it with hextall lol and witness some other kind of reaction...
It was a nice show of respect for Tretiak. Players tap the pads of their own goalies as a show of support. Mahovlich was just acknowledging how Tretiak must have been feeling in that moment. Class act.
Pete Mahovlich always took the high road.
Canadians are feeling this way again after the Raptors won the NBA Championship. #WeTheNorth
Not even close lol
Where were you? I was in elementary schhool. They had canceled classes and brought TV's into the classroom
You gotta love the "fuck you" from the coaching staff guy....after the Henderson goal...lol. That's something that would be unheard of in the NHL. The tension was so thick around this whole series.....especially with the communist police or military everywhere. I'm sure their rooms were bugged, as the players thought was happening.
❤❤❤
Russians were just lucky that Bobby Orr and Bobby Hull, Canada's two best players at the time, were not able to play. Orr was injured and Hull was deemed ineligible because he chose to play in a different league from the NHL (the WHA). With those two in the lineup the series probably would've gone much more favorably for Canada. So Russians, just be happy you had your best player for 6 games. We didn't have our TWO best players for the entire series. That's a fact.
You're right about Orr, but Hull wasn't allowed to play because he was no longer in the NHL.
I once thought that and I think they would have made a big difference. But we should never underestimate how skilled and prepared the Soviets were
Dave Keon, Norm Ullman, Ken Hodge, J.C Tremblay, Jacques Plante..still lots of good Canadian players that didn't play.
no doubt. Hull was in his prime yet. and Orr , the greatest to ever play , definitely in his prime. thats huge. Orr could have covered up for the mistakes the first 4 games. and i think we know Bobby didn't let himself slide in the offseason. hockey was his world. he would have been in shape easily
russia's best player didnt participate, and the best player in the series was taken out by bobby the most chicket shit nhler of all time.
Очень обидно было, особенно за Валеру Васильева. Подарил Канаде гол и победу
Bronx cheer from the Canadian bench at 1:34.
Watching that entire shift and, wow, Serge Savard was a turnover machine. Thankfully didn't cost Team Canada the series; the coaches should have used a hook to pull him off the ice.
Henderson jumped incredibly quick after falling into the boards if he didn't there no way he scores!
He obviously scored because of Hawerchuk's hook.
Mahovilch giving the goalie a "good game" pad tap before celebrating good man
Hmm. Mahovlich got yelled to the bench - actually by on the bench Henderson. If 20 got the goal instead of 19, or at least been on the ice for it - then I doubt 20 would be tapping the goalie.
Henderson was the player coach there and he made a brilliant move in more ways than one.
@@truth7294 It all started with a premonition that Henderson had while he was still on the bench.
a great goal from a broken play. Canadian players never gave up it seemed a long shot and the soviets skating style wouldnt have produced a play like it.......o canada.
Where was the game at?
This is like rocky vs Drago
Im only here because of the leafs-sens pre season game lol
GOD is Canadian !
God Bless Bill McLeod's Holy Spirit
why is everyone only skating at half speed ??
Fast skates hadn't been invented yet.
They were skating on a larger ice
Girls: why didnt he cry at titanic, dose he have feelings
Men:
That's probably the greatest game of hockey ever played
Still prefer the 10 Crosby goal
Then I'll bet you weren't 10 years old or older in 72
Couldn’t even see the goal the quality is so bad
Clean up the footage in 2024
It Not '72 from Moscow😂😂
1972 Proud Canadian … 2022 Ashamed Canadian
Вот вам и спартаковское звено.
Back when North American announcers couldn't even pronounce Soviet players names.
Haha - Bill Goldsworthy pumping repeated F-bombs to all the Ruskies!
I love how the video goes choppy at the critical parts . Even more sad that Paul Henderson is not even in the Hockey Hall of Fame with this shot!! They are to liberal now and rather show and highlight transgender and no name women hockey "players" in the hall of fame more then this. Depressing!
You mean to tell me there's a transmission player in there ahead of Henderson?O feel my blood boiling
In Canada， The Only Way Large Sample of Oriental Men Could Be Involved With Beautiful Blonde Women， Likely Russian Blondes。 From Now On ， More Oriental Men Will Be Blessed。 Post-Millinium New Reality。
Bring back Russia to hockey
Canada win
Russian player best too
These guys look like they're sleeping walking compared to the speed of today's game.
obviously don't know how old you are, I'm 59, saw this series live, so and with full respect you have to keep things in context and perspective, something, again, you will gain as you age when younger people of the 2040s, say, tell you that 2018 hockey is slow. This is nearly 50 years ago now. Think of 50 years back from 1972 you're talking 1922 and how much faster these 1972 guys seemed then compared to 1922 and yes there are early videos. Styles of play, equipment, change, doesn't mean great players of then weren't great players or wouldn't be now if you had a time machine and they benefited from new means of fitness and on and on. I'm of the opinion that things always get better but, great players are great players, they can only have played in their own era. I agree, hockey is much faster now but even in the 2018s it's much faster than the heyday of say, Gretzky in the 1980s so is he and those great Oiler teams shit? Of course not. This applies to any sport and life in general.
they were skating on a larger ice surface.
Kanade prosto povezlo
Везёт сильнейшим, обиженка! Не нужно было хлебалами щёлкать! Вот так нужно раздолбаев-то учить! Go Canada!

А теперь скажу я, наши советские игроки, не привыкли биться до последней секунды матча, а у сборной Канады есть пример, игры на Кубок Стэнли!
Пол нам показал в 72 году, как нужно играть!
В 74 году он играл за ВХА, и там в одном из матчей сделал счет не 6-3, а 6-5, потом правда наши перестали спать на поле и выиграли!
Я всегда помню эти игры!
ВХА - не НХЛ. Это умора, было видеть, как в начале 1976, сборную Совка фактически поделили на два клуба(ЦСКА Крылья Советов, добавив спартаковцев, и Мальцева и погнали их играть против клубов НХЛ. Вся сборная! Иначе бы не потянули. Пижоны. 😂😂😂
