1996 World Cup of Hockey Finals Game 3

[@jerryrosemellia2114]

With 3 minutes to go in the third the USA had just tied the game, Tony Amonte has one of the best shifts you will ever see. Amazing hustle. He beats Wayne Gretzky to the puck twice , got a great shot off with a great save by Joseph, then got an assist on his own goal after passing it to Hatcher. Just awesome hustle and will to win.

[@BudSchnelker]

Smolinski was right there with him, busting his ass. In fact, all 5 guys on the ice were forechecking with everything they had.

[@mcrdl76]

What a great game for USA- Mike Richter so deserved the MVP the way he stood on his head in goal!

[@njgman]

The greatest international hockey series I've ever watched! Mike Richter didn't have the longest career, but he is the best goalie I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Thank you for posting this!!!

I loved this game in 1996! I watched these games and love them still. These were the best of the best! Amazing talent!

[@jerryrosemellia2114]

Amen!

[@nothere283]

Richter was unbelievable. One of the greatest games a goalie ever had. These two teams were so loaded its almost incomprehensible. It was a great series that showed no mercy

[@veronicabellucci7129]

I would say, the best U.S. and Canada teams every put on the ice. BTW, I just watch international hockey and have a little knowledge about hockey history. I watch the Rangers via satellite, but you may feel differently about these teams?

[@invertedxxxi]

@@veronicabellucci7129 No I would say that most people would agree. It's honestly insane that this level of talent was actually on the same ice at one point. That's why so many people are chopping at the bit to see another tournament like this, or another NHL Olympic run. I honestly think that if Canada and USA put together teams today, it could rival this or possibly be even better. We have yet to see Connor McDavid captain team Canada with Sidney Crosby, Mitch Marner, and Nathan MacKinnon Then on the other side, you would have USA with Jack Eichel, Austin Matthews, Jack Hughes Quinn Hughes, and Luke Hughes and obviously so much more on both teams. It really would be crazy. There's actually supposed to be another World Cup next year. I just hope it's as stacked as I imagine.

[@veronicabellucci7129]

[@Fordham1969]

Funny,I haven't seen this game since watching it on tv that night,but the one thing I remember clear as a bell(other than Richters incredible performance)was Guerin telling Richter that he was the "fucking best goalie in the world" at 2:36:10. Seeing it here again brings me back that 20 plus years.

[@raymonderohjr1116]

A great team and a great series. Mike Richter was unreal in this.

[@sudsysutherland359]

Brett Hull is actually a Canadian & was born in Belleville,Ontario,Canada but was cut a few times from the Canadian Olympic team & the Team Canada World Cup hockey teams in which he did not like understandably if your a competitive type of person but with how deep Canada is it's extremely hard to make the team that's for sure. Canada could easily ice two competitive Olympic & World Cup Hockey Teams no doubt about it.

Why was the 1st game played at Philadelphia - - AND then the 2nd AND 3rd games played in Montreal ?

[@Rorschachqp]

While the talent difference of both teams is difficult to discern, team USA's defense is huge and full of talent and toughness. The forwards though of Team USA was loaded full of many of the most remembered power forwards in all of the NHL. Leclair, Tkachuk, Guerin, Deadmarsh, heck even Brett Hull played like a power forward.

Anyone who doesn't think this is better probably hasn't grown up playing this style..trust me it is awesome..Ok the sick shit fine sometimes it gets out of hand but for the most part it is just outright awesome hockey..I wish they let them play harder today, the game would be that much better..Now touch someone and its a penalty in the box shame

[@19Marksman79]

It will be a while before you see the US win another gold medal. I say this as an American.There probably are superior talents in the US, but they will never discover ice hockey because most of the US is NOT covered in ice! There is no opportunity to start a hockey career in the US unless you live in the Northeast, Minnesota, or the dakotas.

[@michaeljoseph8674]

Wrong what the fuk are you talking about...You better do a lot more research. Hockey talent is coming from all over the us, arizona florida, new york, california etc etc..It is huge here now and we will be the number one producer of talent very soon, we are already on equal par in the nhl drafts, not long now.

[@willyupshaw]

I was pretty devastated when this happened. But after Canada mopped the floor with the USA at the 2002 and 2010 Olympics I realized that this little underdog win for the USA was probably a good thing for hockey overall, and that in the big picture, it doesn't put USA anywhere near Canada's level.

[@invertedxxxi]

In 2010 Canada won by one goal in overtime. What happened in 2006? Can't help but notice you left that one out? Oh yeah, you lost in the opening round and didn't place at all. Granted, neither did we. But it's also not our sport. We're too busy winning at everything else. I love how you guys try to act like you win all the time when anybody can look at the IIHF world championship and Olympic history and find countless examples of times where you guys got smoked by Finland Russia and Sweden. I realize USA doesn't normally win. But it's not "our sport" which is what makes tournaments like this so ridiculously sweet. Even with all that fire power and The Great One, Canada just couldn't get it done. And it's in the history books forever.

[@thomasleary2814]

Winning 3-2 in OT in 2010 is mopping the floor to you!?
