Summit Series 1972- 40th Anniversary

[PoP]

I wanna put this doucmentary on here because this year is a 40th Anniversary of a greatest hockey game of all time. The Summit Series 1972 between Canada and Russia. With legends like Phil and Tony Esposito, Bobby Clarke, Frank and Peter Mahovolich, Ken Dryden, Brad Park, Yvan Cournoyer, Paul Henderson and coach Harry Sinden of Canada and also Vladislav Tretiak, Valeri Kharlamov, Boris Mikhailov and Alexander Yakushev of Russia.

Yet during the games, there were controversies along the way, like Canadian fans booing home team in Vancouver, complaints and conspiracies over the German referees Josef Kompalla and Franz Baader by giving Canada too many penalties and Alan Eagleson's outburst over the goal light never lit for a Cournoyer tying goal in Game 8.
