Paul Henderson is my Hero!
Posted 9/6/2012 10:31:00 AM

Well Canada, let’s celebrate AGAIN!  It’s the 40th anniversary of the original Team Canada series.  I’ll admit it, the event was an historic moment for Canada but boy, we sure do talk about it ALOT.  I wonder if we would go on about it as much if we didn't win the series? 

Anyway, I was watching Paul Henderson on TV and I wondered if he ever has a day goes by where he doesn't talk about "THE GOAL". Think about it-  you meet Henderson at a party and what would you talk to him about?  The new Batman movie? 

I kinda feel a little sorry for the guy in some respects because he never gets away from it.  Having said that, I think it’s a travesty that he's not in the Hockey Hall of Fame.  Come on, he scored "THE GOAL!!!!!!!"

We can talk about it next year and the year after that and the year after….

    Hi Bruce, although Paul Henderson never set any NHL scoring records, he did score the one goal that meant the most to Canada to date. He also scored another winning goal in that series. Due to the fact he scored the most important goal ever for Canada, he should be in the Hockey Hall of Fame. I would have liked to see a life like statue of him with the team Canada jersey on with his hands in the air cerebrating that goal.
