"They score! Henderson scores for Canada!"
With our 12th round pick, The Channel Surfers select in the Miniseries/TV Movie category, CBC's Canada-Russia '72.
A little blurb from CBC:
Quote:
The remarkable cast includes Booth Savage, as Team Canada Head Coach Harry Sinden, Mark Owen, as Assistant Coach John Ferguson, Judah Katz, as NHL player rep and Canadian troubleshooter Alan Eagleson, and Sonia LaPlante as Gabrielle Fournier, a fictional composite character in the Canadian diplomatic corps. Team Canada hockey stars are played by David Berni as Phil Esposito, Gabriel Hogan as Ken Dryden, David Miller as Paul Henderson, John Bregar as Bobby Clarke and Gerry Dee as Wayne Cashman among others. It was filmed entirely on location in Fredericton and Saint John, New Brunswick.
CANADA RUSSIA '72 is shot in a fluid documentary style that effectively captures all the immediacy of the '72 hockey summit’s intrigues. This exciting recreation of the hockey series that spawned an enduring national myth about determination, pride, and heart also features a soundtrack of Canada’s greatest hits of the era, including songs by The Guess Who, Crowbar, Lighthouse, Leonard Cohen, The Five Man Electrical Band, The Poppy Family and The Band.
