starting an attack of their own passing back and forth but still not able to open any gaps. Then the unexpected happened U.S. coach Bob Motzko called for Quick to join the offensive rush leaving the United States net empty. Quick rushed over to the Russian blue line just in time to receive a pass and rifle a shot on net. The puck changed direction three times on its way to the net confusing the Russian goaltender inching just inside the post giving U.S.A. the game-tying goal. But U.S.A.s celebration didn’t last long as they gazed upon their goaltender lying in a heap. After Quick had released the shot a Russian defenseman leveled him knocking his wind straight out of him. Patrick Lane zoomed to his goalie's aid immediately calling for the medical staff. Quick shook his head and asked what just happened.

    The New York Islanders returned home early Friday morning from a physical - and some would say lucky - 4-3 overtime win in Winnipeg just hours earlier. They had just finished a brutal road trip through three time zones across Canada and despite a 5-1 record to that point on the trip, had clearly not played their best. Not to mention, Nick Leddy, Matt Martin and, as we would learn Saturday, Calvin de Haan, would all be banged up to varying degrees. Martin and Leddy would be well enough to return to practice on Saturday in preparation for a huge ‘four-point swing’ game against the rival New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden, an arena that, unbelievably, the Islanders had yet to visit this season but don’t mind at all. “It’s one of those games, almost like a home game when you come back.…

    Had the Russian used tactical nuclear weapons, whose presence was not suspected by the Americans, a full-scale thermonuclear war would probably have followed. But Khrushchev, himself desperate to find a settlement and aware that a non-invasion pledge would meet his most important need, did agree. Tedious and frustrating negotiations followed over the means of verifying the departure of the missiles, largely caused by the obstruction of Castro, who was enraged that Khrushchev had not consulted him over the…

    In the National Hockey League (NHL), fighting is a culture that has been a part of the sport for over a century and deserves to be forever glorified due to the excitement it delivers on witnessing fans and players that love to drop the gloves, or also known as fighting.

Though fighting on the streets or in public is frowned upon, it is encouraged during a game of professional ice hockey. Fighting in the NHL is as simple as it sounds.

Though I know I cannot get all of the answers from these two sources, I have tried to search for ways in which the Nazis used the fear of psychological and physical suffering to manipulate the Jews.…

So it is no surprise that when the 1972 Summit Series between the USSR and Canada was set to be played, national identity was on the line. Therefore, this essay is going to analyze the iconic image that sums up the series and all the trials and tribulations that are associated with it-…
