Three thrilling 6-5 games decided the '87 Canada Cup. After the Soviets won Game 1, Gretzky's 5th assist set up Mario Lemieux's hat trick goal, which ended Game 2 in double overtime, as Canada evened the series. Game 2 is considered one of the finest hockey games ever played. With time running out in regulation in Game 3, and after coming back from a 3-0 deficit, Team Canada coach Mike Keenan sent the Gretzky/Lemieux/Hawerchuk line out to play, with a faceoff in Canada's end. The rest is history as Gretzky, Lemieux and Larry Murphy would rush down the ice on a three on one after Hawerchuk tripped up Bykov, with Gretzky skating on left wing, setting up Lemieux's point blank game-winner in the slot with 1:26 left in the game. The Gretzky to Lemieux play is one of the most memorable plays in Canadian hockey history.
