A big moment in Swedish hockey history

R.I.P. Borje Salming, 2 absolute trailblazers in this game... Revolutionary Defenseman #4 Bobby Orr (Canada) and European Trailblazer Defenseman #5 Borje Salming (Sweden)

As a hockey-starved young (11 y.o.) American, I couldn't believe my good fortune when these games showed up on PBS that year. What a treat, not only to see the games, but to see the best from around the world. And the Canada jerseys were the coolest thing I'd ever seen...

the most beautiful Canada jersey to date greetings from germany

The true good old days of hockey. I remember going to the library where they would have those nice big colour books with all the players like Dryden, Bobby Clarke, Guy Lafleur, Ian Turnbull, Sittler, Parent, Makita, the Esposito's and so on. Just looking at the pages in awe. There was so much more mystique to the players then. They were like gods.

So sad to see how Orr could hardly skate by then...after so many operations he just had no mobility in his knees and was in pain all the time. Salming often said how Orr was his hero and how he tried to emulate his style when he was young.

Had the fortune of attending this game and a Czechslovakia -Finland blowout (8-0 Czechs) at MLG as a 10 year-old. Sittler had quite the year; a series winner coupled with his 10 point night against the Bruins the previous February.

Considering the ton of talent that was on this Canada team (most are Hall of Famers), Sweden played a very competitive game. What's up with the linesmen constantly throwing out the original face off pair in this game. Finally, it is sad to see how deteriated Orr's skating had become during this period. If you watch the video closely, you can see his left knee locking up on him a few times. He must have known he didn't have many games left as a pro...very sad for all of us who loved hockey.

I was 9 years Old 1976. i remember i saw canada cup 1976. Go sweden.

Fact: 18 of 22 players on Team Canada's 1976 roster were Hall of Famers. I'm guessing this is the most of any team ever assembled.

Perrault great player!

Orr's knee was not fine. He couldn't practice and had to stand on the bench alot so the knee wouldn't stiffen up and still led Canada in points and was MVP.

Big BUT, Doctor Gerry Wilson, Carey Wilson's dad and Colin Wilson's grandfather, went over to Sweden to convince all those Swedish players to basically come at once, and it was his doing that they all came to Winnipeg at the same time. A great time for hockey, and I remember it well, having season tickets for years to the Jet's games back then. Tremendous men, Hull, Nilson and Hedberg, and, perhaps my favorite for years after, Kent Nilson. Dan Labraaten and the late Lars Sjoberg were no slouches still. Reminds me that Labraaten never fought, but was a golden glove boxing champion, as I recall. Interesting times, and great memories! ;-)

Hull's hair was superglued to his head.

The players look very slow. Its amazing how the game over the years has gotten much faster,

Too bad for Sweden that they didnt add Kenta Nilsson (20 years old) and Lars Gunnar Lundberg (23 years old) possibly the two most talented offensive players ever to play for Sweden.

3:10 It's amazing that Potvin was already an Alternate despite being only in the league for 3 seasons.
