For me it was easily Henderson's Summit Series goal, by several magnitudes. The entire country stood still. I was in elementary school, and the entire school population was huddled around TV sets in the classrooms. My mother, who despises hockey, stopped her work to watch those games. There was such an incredible amount of pressure and conflict in the series. It was way more than just a hockey series. It was war ... between opposing cultures. Hockey was merely the method of combat.
