This past Sunday was the 30th anniversary of Game 3 of the 1987 Canada Cup so I decided to rewatch the game in it's entirety. Five years ago, TSN re-broadcast all three final games and they now reside at the bottom of my PVR list with the trusty "lock" beside them so as not to be deleted, ever.
I aso figured, what the hell, may as well live tweet the game as if 16 year-old me had the miraculous tools of the internet, iPhone and twitter. The results are here, complete with screen grabs of the game.

Oh dear lord, Fetisov with a sick outside/inside move and it's 3-0. Teenage me was beside myself with distress. #CanadaCup87
John D'Amico holding back Ducky after he was kneed by Gusarov 6 minutes into the 2nd. #CanadaCup87 #game3@ADRealEstateCA
Gretz and Lemieux have been quiet, need them to wake up. PP coming up almost halfway through the game. #CanadaCup87
Hawerchuck with as tenacious a goal as you'll ever see. The well-dressed late 80s crowd celebrates. #CanadaCup87
"Larionov to Makarov, Crossman picks it off." The great Dan Kelly spinning hockey poetry. #CanadaCup87
"OK Mario, in about 15 minutes I'll give you a sweet drop pass and you beat Mylnikov's glove like a rented mule." #CanadaCup87
Another one Wayner probably wants back at the end of a 2 minute shift. He shot wide. Should be 7-4 now. #CanadaCup87#Game3 #3rdperiod
Lomakin to Semak as Hartsburg loses him in front of the net, and we're tied. I recall I wasn't happy when this happened. #CanadaCup87
Glove high. Pandemonium. I always remembered Mylnikov falling back, defeated, hanging on the crossbar for a second. #CanadaCup87
Weasel Eagleson just had to get into the on-ice celebration. Literally seconds after the final buzzer. #CanadaCup87
