Henderson has scored for Canada!”Those were the unforgettable words of Foster Hewitt calling the play-by-play of Paul Henderson’s game-winning goal in the Summit Series 50 years (and two days) ago. I rarely write about nostalgia, but today I reflect on “the game” that occurred on September 28th, 1972. - Advertisement -He notched the historic goal with only 36 seconds left in game eight to give Canada a 6-5 victory over the Russians. I am able to recite more about game eight in that series than I can about any hockey game this year or any game period. On this day in 1972, the Soviet Union defeated Canada 5-3 in Game 4 to take the lead in the Summit Series before the tournament shifted to Russia.
