Steve Buckley wrote a comprehensive piece for the Herald on the "SnowPlow Game" of Dec. 12, 1982. It's actually a complicated story because of the social ramifications for the Patriots, and they did take heat for it.

He destroys a few myths in the process (like Henderson being dead.)
Also, I'd like to say, John Smith, if you're out there, kudos for making a tough kick in the snow to win that game. You were the man that day, not Mark Henderson. John Smith did it long before Adam Vinitieri, and he said he didn't need to snow cleared (he needed Matt Cavanaugh to chihp a hole in the ice), and that it was a nuisance. And that is reality!
But Twenty five years later this still makes me laugh. Man, did they stick it to the Dolphins with both substance and style that day.
