I saw a documentary about the ‘72 Canada Cup series where Canada was down to the Russians, so they sent Bobby Clarke out there to go after the Russians’ top scorer to DELIBERATELY slash him and break his leg.
Without their top guy Canada was able to come back in the next few games and win the series.
Clarke admits to this on camera. Phil Esposito then astoundingly defends him, saying he “absolutely did the right thing, and we would do it again.”
All I can say is, Evil Empire, be glad that WE held the nuclear football and not Canada!
Hillary as Secretary of State has accomplished nothing except to diminish the USA. However, bear in mind that she is nothing but an employee. Wherever she has gone, and whatever she has done, or not done, has been at the command of Obama. She does not speak for herself. Obama is the one who is responsible for the destruction of this country; Hillary is nothing more than a willing accomplice.
Perhaps she will go on the Bill O’Reilly show and have softball questions lobbed to her. She show how “tough” she is...
Clarke legalized the slash, Gretzky changed hockey into ice dancing.
You could give Kerry lessons, on turning Canadians from “phlegmatic” to “choleric”.
On reflection, ice dancing would be improved, if 6 pairs competed at once, and body checking was allowed.
Heh heh. I prefer side bacon anyway.
Gordie Howe was just as Canadian as The Great One but had to play real hockey, and defend himself.
