Unless you are Canadian you will never understand how important that goal was to a nation. My entire life growing up all you heard was the replay of that goal. Gretzky, Crosby etc will never be able to top what that one goal meant to Canadians.
The jersey joins Mark McGwire's then-record 70th home run ball, a 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card, and Babe Ruth's home run bat from the opening game at the original Yankee Stadium in 1923, in the $1 million-plus club.
In Canada, that jersey transcends hockey. It is literally a national treasure.
