And Who Scores for Canada?

So Henderson scores the winning goal again in Game 7, that's two games in a row.  And what a beauty it was! Crossing the Soviet blue line there was one white jersey and four red jerseys in the picture.  Jeebus.

What excitement does Game 8 hold with the series now tied?

One thing that we neglected to mention in our Game 5 stories is that Henderson was hurt in that game.

With 4:29 left in the Second Period [a two goal period for his line] Henderson breaks down the right hand side.  He has a step on two Soviets, but they have the angle on him.  Henderson shoots from the face-off circle, Tretiak saves.

But, Henderson loses an edge and falls, sliding backwards into the end boards.
His shoulder hit first and his head snaps back into the boards.
He slumps to the ice.

After a few minutes he's woozily helped to the Canadian dressing room. Mahovlich takes his spot on Left Wing for the rest of the period.

Henderson returns early in the Third and scores Canada's 4th goal, his 2nd.

When the incident happened, the TV crew were quick to note how useful a helmet [red of hue] is in those situations.

When asked about the incident, team doctor Dr Jim Murray agreed about the efficacy of helmets.  He also noted that Henderson had "Suffered nothing worse than a concussion".

Whew, only a concussion. Thank Dog.
What if he'd actually damaged his brain or something?

One last thing about helmets.
Henderson, as we've noted, wears a red helmet.
But, Red Berensen wears a white helmet.

Would it clash if he didn't?
