Frank:
I think you have to be from the Great White North to appreciate the value of Paul Henderson's 1972 Summit Series sweater (No. 6 on the list). When he sniped the series-winning goal against the hated Soviets with 34 seconds left in Game 8 in Moscow, just over 85% of 30 million Canadians were watching the grainy trans-Atlantic telecast. It will forever be remembered as the biggest goal in hockey history — and for cementing the Us vs. Them storyline that set the stage for the Team USA's Miracle on Ice eight years later.
