Can anybody sell me (or tell me where to buy) a video of the Canada vs USSR semi-final (played at Copps Col)?
I've tried google, ebay, etc, and can't find a copy. It's only the greatest game of hockey ever played.
John Tonnelli played the game of his life. Goal by Gretzky in the 1st. Going into the 3rd, I remember Darryl Sittler, the colour commentator, saying 1-0 against the russians isn't going to be enough! Sure enough, we're 2-1 down after 5 minutes.
Then followed the most sustained period of end-to-end excitement ever played. Doug Wilson got the equalizer. Not a fluke. Not a shot from the point. The result of unending hard bruising Canadian work and effort right in front of goal.
Overtime. The Russians engineer a 2-on-1. But it's OK -- the 1 is Paul Coffey. The pass -- Coffey's arm grows two feet, and he intercepts it. All the players seem to be on elastic bands, as they slow down, and then scoot back the other way up the rink. Coffey to Bossy -- hoopdedoo.
You occasionally see excerpts from that semi-final game, but I'd love to watch the whole thing again.
Seriously - any help??
