HENDERSON’S HISTORIC GOAL BEGS HALL OF FAME ENTRANCE - Blog
It was 40 years ago today that Paul Henderson scored the Goal Of The Century.
I remember it like it was yesterday as Henderson’s goal with 34 seconds remaining in game eight of the Summit Series against the Soviet Union, gave Canada a 6-5 win and the series based on four wins and a tie.

Hodgson embracing time in Buffalo - Blog
It was a bit of a whirlwind time for Sabres center Cody Hodgson last Spring.
He went from being on a top team in Vancouver to a team fighting just to make the postseason. He was acquired in the middle of a long road trip which required an unusually excessive amount of travel; he had to fly from Vancouver to Buffalo to California.
He was also inserted right into the top line for the Sabres and was immediately expected to help spark a team that was desperate for offense.
