The 1972 Summit Series
In 1972, the Soviet Union and Team Canada met for 8 games to be played in Canada and Moscow in some sort of an exhibition of hockey. It soon turned into a "war on ice" between the two countries.
This series took place 40 years ago this September and the Chicago Blackhawks made up a vital part of that Team Canada. Stan Makita played in Game 2. Goaltending legend Tony Esposito came off the bench to replace young Ken Dryden and won Game 2. Tony "O" also scored a tie and won Game 7 in Moscow, when Paul Henderson scored his second of 3 Game Winning goals in a row.
Dennis Hull also played for Team Canada, as did the Defensive pair of Bill White and Pat Stapleton. Both White and Stapleton made life rough for the Soviets once they got on the ice.
The 1972 Summit Series needed all of Team Canada to play well, and the Blackhawk contingent fared very well indeed.
