Thank you Zach Parise
by Adelaide Z | 3 mars 2010Paul Henderson’s goal as Canada defeated Russia in the 1972 Summit Series is now deeply entrenched in Canadian lore. Foster Hewitt’s call on the frantic goal is etched into the memories of a generation of hockey fans, and almost everyone who was in Canada in 1972 can answer, “Where were you when Henderson scored?”
In due part to USA sniper Zach Parise, perhaps our current generation has its own “Henderson moment”… For it weren’t for Parise’s frantic tying goal with 9 seconds left, Sid would never have had the chance for our ‘golden goal’, as eloquently announced by CBC’s Chris Cuthbert. If it weren’t for Parise, we might never have had the chance to answer, “Where were you when Crosby scored?”…
So thank you again Zach Parise, we will forever be grateful to you…
