From 2017: How the historic 1972 Summit Series made Paul Henderson a national hockey icon. Henderson's game-winner on this night 48 years ago stood Canada on its ear. https://t.co/PLKcIzPEWb via @NHLdotcom @TeamCanada1972 -
From 2016, in words and 3 short videos: a visit with Yvan Cournoyer about the 1972 Summit Series, decided on this night in 1972, and how the Roadrunner is fine with the fact the most famous photo of himself is of his back: https://t.co/PNjYXwd86y via @NHLdotcom @TeamCanada1972

For decades at The Gazette, and I'm sure other morning dailies, there wasn't a photo of a late-game event or goal. On deadline, shooters had to hustle back to the newsroom from the Forum at the end of the second period to soup their film.Amazing photographer and shots. Equally amazing how far tech has come - I remember digital beginnings in 1991 #StanleyCup when I assisted Minneapolis Star Tribune and negatives were digitally transmitted. (Fortunately, I also shot the NHL then and could ID players from negatives) https://t.co/1RsTXKcRnT

Denis told me they were shoulder to shoulder, Liam, firing literally frame by frame simultaneously.@Dave_Stubbs @TeamCanada1972 I wonder where he was in proximity to Frank Lennon? The shots are so similar.

Atop my Facebook page: how the late Denis Brodeur thought he had shot Paul Henderson's Game 8 Summit Series winning goal this night in 1972, and his agonizing wait to know for sure while an Izvestia darkroom technician developed his film @TeamCanada1972 https://t.co/YPoPtP6mfs

On today's 48th anniversary of 1972 Summit Series' Game 8, a 2018 reflection on the late Denis Brodeur through the eyes of his son, @MartinBrodeur. With Toronto Star's Frank Lennon, Denis photographed Canadian hockey's greatest goal ever: https://t.co/Zqi0lzO3Ix @TeamCanada1972

None better, Mark. From his live on-ice interview to critical Canadian fans post-Game 4 loss in Vancouver to his 3rd period in Game 8 in Moscow, Espo simply refused to let Canada lose the Summit Series. He wore an A on his sweater but he captained that team.Espo's finest moment https://t.co/l52v0JCBfj

Game 8 on this night 1972, @TeamCanada1972 completed its Summit Series comeback to defeat USSR. Tonight, 48 years after playing arguably the greatest period by any player ever, Phil Esposito will do #StanleyCup radio analysis of Game 6 #GoBolts vs #GoStars https://t.co/QJIQTTpGwC

2/2 I owe Gordon Blackman my career. His family asked me to eulogize him at his funeral 3 years ago next week; I was profoundly honoured and scared to death. The 1,400 words I wrote and read that day about a mentor and a friend would be the most important composition of my life.
