Massive site banner from Maple Leaf Gardens rallies the fans behind Team Canada and promotes the 1972 Summit Series pitting the best Canadian-born NHL'ers against what many considered the world's best players from the Soviet Union. The series consisted of 8 games played in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver, and the rest in Moscow. Oddly, the Russians won 2 games with a loss and a tie in the Canadian locales, before the Canadians -- led by Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, Bobby Clarke and Ken Dryden -- got their pride together to take 3 of the 4 in Russia including the last 3, all by the skinny margin of 1 goal. "Go Team Canada" screams this never-before-seen seven-foot double-sided banner with action images and logos from Labatts, the tournament sponsor. What a find! With LOA from the family that owns it.
