I was never prouder that day in 1987. Once upon a time we knew how to stand up. Then again, what did I know? I was a dimwitted teenager.
We couldn't beat the godless commies militarily but on the ice we were even. Canada was on their way to win the gold medal that year and a good conspiracy mind would claim that the Soviets started the fight to keep that medal out of Canadian hands. Sure, I instinctively knew we probably would be disqualified but it was still priceless. The name Everett Sanipass will stay with me forever.
Bring back old style 70s and 80s brawls! As for all these journalists who want fighting out of the game - the bottom line is that they may think they are smarter than the fans but the reality is that everybody loves a good fight.
