It tells me they were playing in Montreal that night.

Too bad Dryden (who had cartilage removed from his knee during the Summer) wasn't on Team Canada 1976. They went with a Montreal starting line-up but they had to settle for the former Canadien instead. "Team The United States"....talk about lambs to the slaughter!

Being an American hockey fan, and seeing that starting 5 was the best we had to offer against a HOF Canadian squad, USA hockey has come a long way. Forget the game vs. the USSR in 1980, had the Americans won this game, this would've been just as big miracle on ice

@Tubewings ...and growing up in L.A. at the time (born in 1966 and raised in Northridge, CA in the San Fernando Valley) I was (and still am) a HUGE Kings fan and I wanted to be a great goaltender and I idolized Rogie Vachon when I was a kid, and even wore a Rogie Vachon game jersey (home version, Gold and Forum Blue) to every Kings game. I even have a (slightly-damaged) circa-1978 Victoriaville Rogie Vachon-pattern goal stick, and it proudly hangs up on my wall in my home office to this day.

@HockeyMetalRPG Actually, Rogie Vachon was playing for the Los Angeles Kings at that time, but he did play for Le Bleu Blanc et Rouge at one time (and even won a couple of Stanley Cups with them).

I've rented a DVD box-set of that tournament. It was great to watch those games that i've just heard about it besause i was to young then.

I'm a proud canadian. But frankly, a few canadian players showed so little sportmanship. In fact it was kind of shameful the way they acted: high stick, slashing, intimidation...well Bill Barber acted like a real goon...a real animal!

gotta love those American jerseys though

All the starting lineup for Canada are Montreal Canadiens, what does that tell ya???
