Canada Cup 1976 Canada vs Sweden

[@danielkarlsson258]

The standing ovations for Börje in this match, was actually voted as the biggest moment in Swedish hockey. Such a warrior and such a humble human being.

[@peo9180]

He will always be the best defensman in NHL

Actually it was before the game against USA, but it dosen't matter, Salming is the greatest defeseman togehter with Lidstrom...

A big moment in Swedish hockey history

[@clintscroggs65]

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...

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)

Wow, this is fantastic, thank you for uploading this. Hard to believe this was nearly 50 years ago

I was there, 14 of age, with my dad watching the tournament. I still have Sweden’s jersey and the original program. Bought the best pair of skates I ever had in Montreal, CCM Super Tacks.

I had a Canada Cup 1976 program. I remember, as a 12 year old kid, thinking the artwork was the COOLEST THING I'D EVER SEEN!!

[@octobersun221]

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.

[@peo9180]

you totaly right my friend

[@user-th9dw4bu7h]

У меня есть вырезка из газеты, на ней Фил Эспозито, Бобби Халл и Бобби Кларк, и в руках у них меховые шапки! Фил говорит " Мы все получим по шапке"! Звучало двусмысленно, но они победили

[@glen6945]

all damn good hockey players

[@ejomamma6234]

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! ;-)

[@davidmeijer1645]

Great intro anthem and graphics I just say. I was 8 at the time of this and watched eagerly. Great to see again.

[@DanglingCellist]

MrVasilenkoK, thanks for uploading these videos. When I play hockey, I try to model my play after Borje Salming. Sadly, such videos of him are rare and this is one of the few I have seen. Thanks you so much! I don't suppose you could upload a vid of USA vs Sweden?

[@fasteddie777666]

BOBBY ORR IS A GEM TO WATCH

[@hebber1961]

I forgot we used to have to ask each other what the score was without it on the screen.

[@ldhorricks]

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.

[@hugomikaelsson4055]

Never heard of Salming ever claiming that he idolized Orr. Do you have a source ro corroborate your claim with.

[@leafyutube]

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.

[@baronvonglowered]

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.

[@5inthehole]

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.

[@ejomamma6234]

Yes, the stories from Bobby Clarke, Bobby Hull, and the rest of them, saying Orr didn't even practice, hobbled to the rink on one leg, and still performed like that! Truly amazing, man!

[@5inthehole]

E Jomamma-In order to do what he did he had to really love playing the game. I got my love of the game from watching him, as a kid, in amazement. He is quite an interesting guy.

[@ejomamma6234]

you got that right, I had scrap books full of Orr's stuff and became good friends with the Hull family, playing on the same team as Blake Hull......

[@arcticgrayling105]

Desoxyn Man ...I was at the game with my dad. We both commented to each other how it was obvious that Orr was obviously playing at a level that was a mere shadow of his level of play when he was at his best. He was obviously playing in pain.

[@gregharrison5479]

Great year for sport in Canada. This tournament was followed by the Summer Olympics in Montreal! Paul McCartney was #1 with Silly Love Songs.

[@clemensgruber7278]

No, the Olympics were BEFORE that tournament.

[@kevincooke5337]

And to prove that was no fluke. We replicated that in 1988 in Calgary (winter olympics).

[@AnnWahlquist]

Rest in peace Borje Salming.....

[@jacksmith5692]

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.
