1972 Game 7 winning goal paul henderson gary bergman-mikhailov melee

[TheDiamondlou]

Two morals to this story;

1. Never give in

2. DON'T MESS with Gary Bergman, real dumb idea;-)

[Gyro911]

The russians exposed themselves as the biggest hypocrites in this series by only giving their home tickets to high level gov't officials and famous actors rather then letting true russian fans view the game who would have cheered them on. That contradicts their communist idealogy of having all citizens be equal in class. As a result the rest of tickets went to 3000 canadian fans and they made that moscow arena sound like a canadian home game. I'm glad the Ruskies lost, their pathetic

[killerman294]

like this if you came here after watching that world juniors game

[clubhouseme]

In some ways this goal is more amazing than the game 8 goal.

[joshmania7]

What a goal!

[stevejmoffett]

that was so nice... why dont i see this one every highlight reel

[chinary8]

Dirty russian cunts

[iLuvBarRefaeli]

The Canadians are real men look at them they aren`t wearing helmets look at the russians pussies.

[TheDaleDenton]

@iLuvBarRefaeli You have to admit taking it 8 games with us the Commies had skill and still do it seems but we were always the best.

[iLuvBarRefaeli]

@TheDaleDenton whatever at the end of the day, Canada showed them what a hockey powerhouse is, even at the olympics too

[TheDaleDenton]

@iLuvBarRefaeli very, very true.

[Gyro911]

@iLuvBarRefaeli Thats funny since Henderson wore a helmet and scored the winning goal lol

[andrelebaron]

was that the scuffle where that guy kicked bergmann? they were sneakier about how they did that stuff. I guess that's what happens when you grow up in a society with rules about everything.

[IceWarrior101]

@andrelebaron yup #13 on the russians did kick Begman in that situation.. and of course no penalty.. but that's okay as long as its russians doing that crap then no worry

[eagle8burger]

2:31 and you thought nash was good

[jazzguitar2010]

Russians never could play defense.

[103Uke]

@jazzguitar2010 Three friggin defensive blunders that led to that goal. Couldn't shoot it outta the zone twice when needed and could cover Henderson when it mattered. Even the nearest Soviet Dman regrets it till today.

[vardiss22]

i don't think this series would have been quite as close as it was if both Bobby Hull and Bobby Orr had been playing....still close but not as close....Tretiak himself said he could NEVER see Hull's shot ... it would have been like the 87 team without Gretzky and Lemiuex playing (which says ALOT about the depth of the 72 roster)

[HellasLEAF]

this was the best goal of the series. much better than the series winner.

[unstabledavid]

look you can say whatever you want the truth is the russians would have won if it wasnt for team canadas thuggery,,,and yes when there was russian refs they did cheat for the ussr...ok you are all free to spew all your crude comments but you know im right

[MrTommypops]

@unstabledavid your stupid......very stupid....

[GarGet1]

@unstabledavid yeah the whole scruffle there was started by the russians. he was frigging giving him a bear hug and he is gona sit there and take it. the russian reff didnt even put his arm up and you think canada was just gona take that crap. and even on the goal that russian threw his leg out at the canadian. didnt stop him though. they won it likie true canadian heroes and hey, at least they didn't kick.

Thats hockey my friend

[sandro0244]

he smashed his head in the glass.........AWESOME. SCREW THE SOVIETS

[Mctavish121]

lol apparently russia cut off the tv program early because they thought they knew they were gonna win...

[irishdude54]

Man Canada produces the best hockey players!

[berezin99]

Betcha the Soviet fans would tell you watching Canada play was worth the price of admission. 

[max12121313]

russians are pussy's wearing helmet's

[thatwrestlingfan]

Greatest rivalry in hockey history. This went behond hockey. It was a clash of 2 cultures

[RunNingTheoRy]

Meh ive seen better

[jeroliver]

what a fucking goal!!! I wasn't even born and I swell with pride when I see this!

[ChristianLanctot]

I just met Hendersen tonight. He was at a chinese church. Cool guy.

[yourdeetales]

@ChristianLanctot random. I just told @hockeybooks this too - his jersey is going on tour and he's going to come to some of the towns too. Search for "Henderson Jersey Tour" on facebook. There's a contest to meet him.

[Forsure3333]

That Canada jersey was the best!

[hockeybooks]

@Forsure3333

that exact jersey worn by Henderson just sold for $1.2 million dollars,

highest ever amount

[yourdeetales]

@hockeybooks See it on tour in January - Paul's original jersey is being toured. Search for "Henderson Jersey Tour" on facebook.

[spiralarchitect100]

@Forsure3333

...and my relative sat in the penalty box watching Canadian history unfold ... i could not be more proud for the Bergman family

[meetmeinthebathroom1]

The Russians are acting tough while their wearing helmets IN THE 70'S !!!  HAHA

[OneAydan]

Canada.. Fo.. liiffee!! Screw Russia.

[103Uke]

If the slash on Kharlamov was wrong, then being kicked in the leg with a sharp skate blade is also wrong.

[spuzzum888]

Old Time Hockey!!

Love the goon style action!

Very unlike the Gold Medal game on Feb 28

[Lava1964]

Great goal by Henderson. That goal and Peter Mahovlich's goal in Game #2 were the best of the series.

Underrated Gary Bergman had a great series. I don't think he even had a bad shift. RIP Gary.

[Ch33seMan]

why so many thumbs down? evresbomyname's comment is meant to be funny. people should be giving NHLinden a thumbs down...

[TheMrmongo911]

i have his jersey too

[kyogre3546]

and Im jesus christ. WHAT?

[EvReSbOMyName]

Sweet, but I was making fun of NHLinden.

[NHLinden]

my friend owns that very jersey he wore

[tourzaman]

yah, right the one that henderson wore? that probley in the hockey hall of fame or somthing

[NHLinden]

apparently not its my friends dads and its signed with a message on it.

[ackersbr]

doesn't mean its his actual jersey it could of just been bought and they got him to sign it... like everyone else

[seronic]

He would have given it to his SON (or daughter). Not to a friend of his kids. Thats if he even still has it. You are a liar, nothing more.

[NHLinden]

well thats no good :/
