whole team&#8220Thy&#8217dstolen our beer and our steaks, and then to make it worse . . . they
give us this Russian beer&#8212th warm, skunky sh*t, and not the good, cold Labatts our sponsor
sent. I remember thinking, &#8216Thse pricks will never beat us again! They are not going to win
another f*cking game.&#8217#8221 &#8212RoGilbertWhen the Summit Series began on
September 2, 1972, Cold War tensions could not have been higher. But that was the whole point
of setting up this unprecedented hockey series. Team Canada, featuring the country&#8217best
players&#8212al NHL stars, half of them future Hall of Famers&#8212wold play an eight-game
series, with four games played across Canada followed by four in Moscow. Almost everyone
expected Team Canada to crush their untried opponents eight games to zero, with backups
playing the last four games.But five games into the series, Team Canada had mustered only one
win against a tie and three stunning losses. With just three games left, Team Canada had to win
them all, and on Moscow&#8217wider, unfamiliar rink. They would also have to overcome

even the KGB could throw at the players and their wives invent a hybrid style of play combining
the best of East and West, one that would change the sport more than any other factor before or
since and break down old rivalries to become a real team. And they did it all. With John U.
Bacon&#8217unparalleled access to the players through dozens of interviews, The Greatest
Comeback presents the incredible story of how this series inspired amazing heroics against long
odds and under almost inhuman pressure&#8212anexperience so unforgettable that the players
still consider the series to be the highlight of their storied careers.
