Kiefer Sutherland, Chris Noth and others kilted

Well, I thought that title was reserved for Paul Henderson. I will NEVER forget "the" goal ever with :34 ticks left.

Perhaps you're confusing Henderson with Wayne Gretzky, The Great One. Not The Greatest Canadian though. Wayne only made 10th place.

You both can fight it out on the emergency room while waiting for free health care, while in your mail box your government pension cheque is waiting for you to cash it.

Anybody have any idea what tartan Chris Noth was wearing?

That is a startling (and all the more startling because it is common) misrepresentation of the government programs in this country. Let's just stop that before it goes somewhere we don't want to be.

Yes, please stop. I'm not about to explain in a Canadian joke, the process of how the Canadian system works to two Canadians who are playfully arguing about the greatest moment in Canadian hockey.

This definitely not the place to discuss politics, hence the joke.

Please do not take offense; I merely wish to prevent a discussion of politics. Even at the best of times it is unwise to discuss politics in an open forum. In the interest of civility I only wish to caution us all away from it. Truce?

No offense taken and no truce necessary. Our two hockey 'combatants' recognized the joke in my statement. My only mistake was not to use a smiley. I tend to feel that they are over used in this forum and I sometimes err in my resistance to use them.

I'm still wondering if anybody can see and recognize the tartan Chris Noth was wearing.

Well all I can say is do you remember when this happened? It was during the Cold War and beating the Soviets in the Summit series was huge. I suppose looking at it from 2011 almost 40 years later makes it different. I made this comment jovially not to provoke debate. I am an American but will always remember Henderson's goal. My apologies for creating an unintended effect,....

Thank-you Tommy for a little human dignity.

We might be a little off topic, but I don't think we're fighting.

I was only about 5 then and didn't care about hockey, but I've seen the replays. It was an awesome moment.
