Evening,

The real question and what we should all remember............................Do you remember where you were that night and what you were doing that moment in history? I was 2 years out of the Army, 20 years old, In Sacramento, Ca. trying to make a modest living, doing a hauling business with my pickup taking stuff to the Dump. I went to the Viking Club (A downtown Sacramento Ca. Dive Bar) that night and STILL Remember not giving a Flying Frick about Hockey, but standing shoulder to shoulder with 20-30 other Patrons....And just Screaming OVER and OVER...USA..USA....That Night !!

A Moment in my Life I will Never Forget !@!!

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeehah

Is it the same jersey he wore against the Finns when they won the gold medal???

They are selling both of his jerseys. The white one was the one he was wearing when he scored the game winner vs the Russians. The blue one was worn in the game against Finland that clinched the gold medal.

I just don't get this to the degree it's hyped.

It's only the most iconic moment in sports history (imo).


Unless you were old enough to understand what that game meant when it was played, no one will ever understand the importance.


Now, the real question is, does the hype of the game, mean the jersey is worth $1 million?

Back in the 70's
The Summit Series was a big deal for Canada and the Henderson Jersey went for some big money

He should have sold it 10 years ago.

I don't think it will be a crazy number because he didn't beat the USSR alone and there are obviously plenty of other game jerseys out there potentially. and certainly a few more would turn up if he would get 7 figures.
