This is the best moment in Canadian hockey history bar none, but I still beg to wonder what the crowd would have been like if this game and this goal had been played in Canada.
CON'T...In summary, both teams had to play with one arm behind their back (CCCP because of Kharlamov's injury and Canada because they were perpetually in the box on a series of atrocious penalties); both teams had to deal with nefarious actions from the other side which actually put them on equal footing. Both teams cheated, but only Canada won.
@johnzv96 The Canadians cheated to win it? Certainly they did Kharlamov dirty with Clarke following Ferguson's command to "give him a tap on the ankle". But you think the Soviets played it completely straight? Look at the PIM spread for the two teams over the last four games (not to mention the two played in Sweden between games 4 and 5). The "impartial" european refs created a situation where the Canadian team was forced to compete against them as well. TO BE CONTINUED....
@Love4SK Imagine if a Russian intentionally broke Bobby Orr's(I know he wasn't playing in this series but hypothetically speaking) ankle and they went on to win it
@johnzv96 , well kharlomov was no bobby orr 1st off. and he wouldnt have won the series for the russians in the end single handidly anyways. the result wouldve been the same. henderson was not a superstar and was not expected to be the clutch guy (but he was). if the russians couldnt find another clutch guy out of a roster of 22 players, then they deserved to be 2nd best (WHICH IS PRETTY DAMN GOOD ANYWAYS)
I AM CANADIAN! it is important to note that the 1974 summit series was won by the CCP/RUSSIA/SOviet union and was won very handedly! the actual tournament rules which was agreed apon by both teams was that the team with the best goal differential at the end of the series was the winner! by midway through it became a laugher and CCP clearly had it won so they began resting their players to make it more interesting. Canadians are vbery strange people so tey told their people back home different
@ggqbc What total B.S,!! The Russians didnt rest Lutchenko or Vasiliev or Maltsev or Mishakov or Mikhailov or Yakushev or Petrov or Kharlamov or Vikulov or Anisin or Volchkov, all top players, and they certainly didnt rest trusty net minder Vladislav Tretiak did they? Canada won, simple as that.
@ggqbc I'm guessing by how stupid your comment is, that you don't realize the 74 Summit Series was played without NHL players. The only time the Russians have EVER won a Best vs Best tournament was the 1981 Canada Cup. USA got one in 96, Czechs in 98 and Sweden in 06. All the rest(72,76,84,87,91,02,04,10) were one by Canada. No other country comes close.
I remember literally crying in gushing tears when Henderson scored that goal. God bless him. He is a Born Again Christian Brother of mine. He gave his heart to Jesus Christ in 1975.
For those of us born after this series, we may think the '10 Olympics, '02 Olympics or '87 Canada Cup were something, from what I understand, if you had lived through this moment, all the other great moments we've had since would pale in comparison.
To the American hockey fans, which I am one, the reason why many say this is arguably a greater moment than Miracle on Ice is because this series was, for all intents and purposes, the first true world championship of international hockey. The Olympics didn't let pros in then, and the Soviet team was a team of unofficial pros, and therefore won every competition as a result. However, the best players played in the NHL, so Canada had their claim too as the world's best. This settled the score.
@shaunnol I think though, that was a "wake-up" call for Canada. Canadian hockey players didn't work out, they drank beer! Me thinks the Russians were doing "dry-land" training before we even knew what that was! You Americans, though, deserve Congrats on a great Olympic tourny! Miller, Parise(Canadian dad), Rafalski! Thank God we DID win gold in Vancouver, or there would have been riots! 80% of Canadians watched at least some of that game! 80% Only comotose people werent!
@shaunnol there be more settling the score since they beat a lot of pro clubs back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s,though the miracle on ice was amazing too i watched the whole game on espn classics.
Canada beating the Russians. What else is new? Canada has always punished the Russians in hockey. The Russians were only good at beating amateur teams at the Olympics.
You know, I've seen that goal so many, many, many times in my life - I saw it when it happened in our school's gym like so many others - but in watching it here today it's the VERY first time I have ever noticed Peter Mahovlich skating away from the mob scene in the corner, coming up to Tretiak and very lightly tapping him on the pad in a salute to his amazing play in the series. I don't know why I have never seen that before but what an incredibly classy thing to do - especially in THAT series.
@pandas eat monkey boys actually, big Pete was always very respectful of his opponents. always very sportsmanlike. and his goal in game two has to go down as one of the greatest goals ever scored. still holds Habs record of 82 assists in one season. can't believe he isn't in the hall
@pandaseatmonkeybums I know the Esposito brothers are from the Sault, but isn't Mahovich, too? Whoo hoo! No wonder Gretzky wanted to play in the Sault!! His only junior year !
@UltMitSinner78 NO not all tv looked that crummy in the 70's, but in the 70's games televised overseas were from satelite and the signal wasn't as strong and that's the reason for the poor quality. I watched this game live and this is exactly how my tv looked.
@tacular3 I know it is because they didn't restore it to prefection so that way it is accurate to what Canadian viewers would have saw, for all the games in the USSR, the adio is ahead by 4 seconds
@robbiecda, you're probably too young to remember this, but when the game was televised live that was exactly what the film looked like. In 1972 they didn't have the technology and satelite quality was poor.
Before I was born, but a great moment. My Mom told me about how they stopped classes for this and watched it in school.
And against the training-year-round Russians who had been preparing for years, without Bobby Orr, at an inconvenient time of year, with a last-minute team- Go Canada! (Although I'm 1/8 Russian so I like them too.)
I think what makes this victory more sweet was all the politics outside the game. The Russians were calling the hotel rooms at 3:00 am, also the officiating was terrible. This team was thrown together and didn't have time to play much before the series and were all out of shape. To overcome bad officiating, poor condition etc was a great moment in sports
The "miracle on ice" was a great moment too and most Canadians were cheering for USA, but I think the 72 series ranks higher than that series
The US/Canada insults are unbelievable. To the Americans (and I am one): Don't try to understand what this meant to Canada. There isn't an equivalent national sport here (don't say the NFL), so comparing the Miracle to this doesn't work. There are parts of the U.S. where people wouldn't know what a puck was. To the Canadians: 1980 happened. 9 times out of 10 the Soviets would have won. That time, they didn't. Maybe if they'd not pulled Tretiak, but they did. Enough now. We're fucking allies.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Your all stupid faces
Our Miracle on ice was cool because we sent mediocre players that overachieved
(even if it was only one win)
Your Summit Series win was a near total disaster that you were supposed to win and you almost lost in a way that single handedly swayed the balance of power in the world giving the Soviets the confidence they needed to extend the Cold War decades longer
(the way you won though with the 3 wins in the Union and the Henderson goal was totally fucking awesome)
@GabeWayne Yeah, for sure your hockey team did great in 1980, no douvt about it. It's just that a lot of your population doesn't give a rat's ass about hockey. haha.. Up here, they said the TV ratings for the Olympic gold medal match US/CAN 2010, were over 80%!! The only people not watching the game, were, I don't know.... maybe a power outage? Senile? We're koo-koo for hockey here! Great Olympic run! You guys had a great team!
@GabeWayne I don't know what your trying to say but the reason that the miracle on ice was huge is because the us was underdogs in that game and tournament. Canada was favourited in the series
the movie about the Americans winning the gold medal is called miracle. The movie about the Canadians winning the gold would be called talent. This is an awesome moment in hockey history. I love Canadian hockey. Can't wait for the olympics, Go Canada!
How ironic that Ken Dyrden was the goalie for Team Canada in 1972 in the Sumitt Series, and the color comentator with Al Michaels in 1980 for the USA win for the olympics.
Many people forget that Henderson scored the winning goal in each of the last three games of this series. Henderson yelled at Peter Mahovlich to come off the ice for this one, something he says he never did in any game before and didn't do in any game after. He simply felt deeply that he could score the goal, and almost did it the first time he tried.
This was indeed a great moment in sports history, but (biased opinion) the GREATEST moment in sports history happened 8 years later in Lake Placid. A bunch of College kids taking out the essentially professional Soviets after having been beaten by the same Soviet team 10-3 not 2 weeks earlier in Madison Square Garden. You can say that it was devalued by Tikonov's pulling of Tretiak after the first period, but the bottom line is the Canadians were pros...the Americans were amateurs.
No way...I mean I've seen the footage and that was absolutely fantastic but that game was in America. This game was the end of an 8 game series and proved we were better than the Soviets, coming back from 3 games down.
like I said, I am admittedly biased about this. To me, the amateur status of the Americans vs the professional nature of the Soviets, neutralized any potential home ice advantage. I will also say this, having seen footage of all 8 games of the summit series, I think the Canadians would have dominated the series had they given the Soviets the proper respect from the start (Even Phil Espo admitted they didn't until they realized just how good they were)
The upset of the Soviets by the Americans was great but the best players from all countries weren't at those Olympics. So throw those best players into the Olympic formula and the outcome would most likely have been very different. In this series all the best players from both countries were playing. And it was 8 games, with a great 3 game comeback---not one lucky game. Don't get me wrong, it was a nice accomplishment....but.....
that's a fair assessment. There were a lot of breaks that went the Americans' way in Lake Placid, most notably the inexplicable benching of the best goalie in the world after a freak goal. That move still puzzles me.
Who was the goalie who got benched? I'm just asking because Americans are getting testy because I'm exposing their Miracle on Ice as just a huge upset. Not a miracle--if Canada's best was playing we'd have put the college players on their asses and just put the puck in the net at will. The Russians wouldn't hit....Canada would have hit them over and over until they dropped. Miracle on Ice is a fairy tale, basically anyway
ok, I misinterpreted what you said before. you said you had seen the footage, I thought you meant you had seen the game from start to finish. Tretiak was in goal for the first period for the Soviets, until Dave Johnson scored with less than one second to go in the 1st. Tikonov was so irate that he pulled Tretiak (didn't even send him out for the final second of the 1st) in favor of Vladimir Myushkin. As for the puttin the puck in the net at willJimmy Craig was awfully good in goal.
And remember the Americans had to run through the Czechs, Swedes, and West Germans before they ever got to the Soviets, then they had to deal with the Finns. Too often, the "Miracle on Ice" gets diluted down to just the one game, when in reality the "Miracle" was the entire tournament.
wow juzu4me is a really disappointing representation of Canada. I'm sorry.
But realistically, let's talk: You speak of the west germans, finnish, swedes and czechs like they were on the same level as the soviets. They like you, had to use amateurs. The soviets used professionals. So you guys played good games against them, and got damn lucky against the soviets. Plus benching tretiak was a huge mistake. And then they didn't pull the goalie at the end of the game either, mistake.
And then there was the summit: the world's best vs. the world's best. an 8 game series that started horribly for us. we were so self-confident that we would sweep all 8 games and were shocked to have to go to Moscow down 2-1-1. Then game 5 we lose to make it 3-1-1. But Canada rallied back to win 3 in a row, henderson scoring the winner in all 3. And this was after the soviets had announced they'd claim victory in case of tie. that game is still the 3rd most watched tv broadcast ever in canada.
Why are people arguing in the first place? Why is it that on videos like these, people have to make a negative comment?
GET OVER IT. CANADA HAS FREE HEALTHCARE. IT IS PAYED FOR BY THE PEOPLE. That is what taxes are SUPPOSED to do. Canadians pay gladly because this means they don't have to shell out thousands of dollars at any given time. They are covered by the taxes they pay as an obligation to the country they are citizens of. Perhaps its not free in the truest sense but it still beats the US
your dumber than you sound, and you sound pretty dumb. i dont know if you know but americans have one of the lowest iq's IN THE WORLD, why the hell would anyone trust getting surgery from you retards.
oh, c'mon 11matt1. one scum fuck like this can't represent the country as a whole. America may not be anywhere near perfect, but its not like were the worst country in the world. thats just an unfair statement you made, and I--as an american citizen--am VERY offended
im just talking about the "stupid americans" comments, and the "why the hell would anyone trust getting surgery from you retards" comments. thats unfair.
yes obviously the money comes from somewhere and it covers every canadian citezen and if you ever needed a sergery or anything like that. boom your covered. and btw you critisizing Canadians only make you look bad because even your president is thinking about having a national health care program you faggot
No need to be nasty. We're not communist, we're a constitutional monarchy with strong social democratic values. We're also ranked third on the Human Development Index. Do your research before spreading your hate.
Hi/You need a healthy workforce in order to produce goods. Givng access to healthcare to all is how we ensure that Canadians can take care of themselves and ultimately the economy./Also, Canada is a mixed economy, not a Communist one. Get your terms right, bud!/Cheers
God, Americans are so jealous of Canada. This is so unbelievable. And yet if you go there and they find out that you are Canadians they practically throw themselves at your feet in awe. They always tell me how slim and healthy we are as Canadians.
Ya Canadas fcked up ! Bobby Hull , Gordie Howe , Now it Gay Marriage and a Homosexual Government flooding the country with third world illiterates. Canad will be kaput soon! Canada has not won a Stanly Cup in how many years ? Oh since the libertards took over! The Montreal Queernadiens , Toronto Gaypole Leafs. I used to love Canada but now the country run by homosexual poofs! Faggots we do not need, hockey players were the best export yu guys had. Canada was a world class nation not no more !
Canada wins every cup. american teams know the secret to winning cups. dont use any actuals americans. cash in that clunker bitch. stars and gay bars for you!
Dude! Everyone pays taxes that go into the free healthcare plan. Even if it was just the rich, at least they could give some back to the society that made them wealthy. We don't steal or prevent people from being rich. At least it's better then an insurance company that rejects your treatment for life threatening illnesses. I see the American system as being rob from the middle and poor class and give it all to the billionaires. :( Now that's a crappy healthcare system. People over kings!
It makes me happy for you to say that. After all, Canada is a lot more liberal then the U.S. We enjoy our "Communist" free health care. Maybe one day you'll open your mind and look at the world for the first time without the window glass.
Two Communist countries playing hockey one year after Canada lost it's freedom of speeh thanks to the Canadian homosexual lobby, the CJC and the ADL. I believe that Russians enjoy truer freedoms today than Canadians do.
Boy, thanks so much! I am doing my thesis on American reactionary perceptions of Canada (Communists, faggots,...) and you provided me with my opening quote for the respective chapter - are you really from Texas? Purrraise Gawd!
Not a chance. Maybe with the self centered Americans. The 1980 US team was a mediocre team who had the GREATEST fluke in sports history. Russians pulled Tretiak and if they didn't who knows what happens. If they played 7 games the Russians would win 6 hands down
What on earth is "tree hugger" supposed to mean? Was I lecturing you about saving some endangered species without realizing it?
Both teams had the worlds best players on their team, my point is that Bobby Clarke purposefully busted Kharlamov's ankle on his coach's orders (John Ferguson never denied it). That's cheap, bushleague stuff and to me it cheapens the fact that Canada won the last three games.
I don't get how Canadian fans could ever ignore it. They know hockey better than that.
Ya that was obviously something that seriously impared the russians in the final games and i would've rather seen the russians play full force vs. our team but at the same we didn't get bobby orr or bobby hull but then again who cares it happened years ago and no matter how much we say it the majority of my fellow canadians will say that we are the best at hockey and that this series proves it but ya overall.... awesome
I don't understand where tree hugger comes from either. However, Clarke was hardly the only dirty player on the ice. Mikhailov kicked Gary Bergman with his skate and admitted so later. Another Soviet player bit him on the ear. That is equally as bad.
YEah they started fighting FIRE WITH FIRE!! Soviet hockey gained more in this loss than Canada gained at THAT is a fact and every Canadian announcer and writer verified this fact. Kharlamov not injured? This could be a much different story. The Soivet Union and their style SAVED hockey and no more DUMP AND CHASE. These are facts that can't be disputed.
Another fact that can't be disputed is that Bobby Orr didn't play ANY of the eight games. He was Canada's best at the time. Bobby Hull didn't play either. Kharlamov played until game six. So stop whinning and face reality.
Wow!!! You need to learn that "facts" and things that pop into your head, are two different things. Reply if you want me to pick apart everything you said.
Really? Tell me where I'm wrong. Orr would've changed the dynamics I am sure, however I thnk Vasiliev would've had his say as well body checking wise.
However, tell me where I am wrong on how Russian hockey has changed. Do a good job, because I'll take your arguement apart.
Let's go to school, son. I'll begin with "started fighting FIRE WITH FIRE". If you call kicking and crosschecks to the face a proper retaliation to good body checks, then go back to Europe. "Kharlamov not injured? This could be a much different story" Kharlamov<Orr, Vasiliev<Hull, Starshinov<Gilbert Perreault, Rick Martin, Gerry Cheevers and Derek Sanderson. "The Soivet Union and their style SAVED hockey and no more DUMP AND CHASE" I don't know what hockey you've been watching but....(next post)
......dump and chase is alive and well. Watch Canada at the world juniors for a clinic at how effective dump and chase can be. Besides the 81 Canada Cup tell me how many gold medals the russians have won "best on best" . You said you'll take my argument apart......good luck.
Yup, after torment for how many periods? For a fallen teammate with NO suspension handed out. I am not saying the Soivets would've won, but it might and would've been different in some results on the ice. I can see it from both sides, however take the PRO CANADA shit to Donald S. Cherry. I like Don, but he's blind and just ignorant in some areas.

canadiens suck, all nhl players vs army players who trained in shit facilities and had no money, looking on the floor for bread, canada isa buncha pussies
Might have been expected to sweep, but this happened in September.. Back then NHL players used training camp to get in shape after the summer. The russians played 12 months a year. As the series went on the Canadians got better and won 3 out of 4 in Russia, with the most atrocious reffing in history. As for Kharlamov, he delivered a viscious spear to Clarke early that same game. Payback is a bitch.

Shove your old business expression up your faggoty ass. If not for the Russians you'd be working on a chain gang in the German camp. The only relatively normal people in you benighted "country" are the French, but compared to the real Gaelic element, well, no comment.
woah woah woah, you just called the french normal? the guys who want to seperate yet "have acess to the canadian currency and army". and how would we be working in a chain gain? the u.s. would have beat germany anyways without russia.
The Russian team trained together for weeks. Canada just basically threw together a team with players that mostly never played together, AND without the best hockey player in the world at the time (maybe of all time), Bobby Orr, and Canada still won. Say or add anything else you want, but it's something you can never take away and the victory is all that matters in the context of the tournament.
Moron......know some history......The Russian government was calling the hotel rooms at all hours to disturb the players. The Russians bugged and followed the players. The best part, the U.S.S.R. and the fake press told the Soviet people that they won the game. It wasn't until the fall of communism that the people found out Canada was number one and the Russians were the toilet-end of Europe. Too bad Russia's going back to their old ways, freedom would have served them well.
No sir, you need to learn some history. If you knew anything at all, you would know that Russia is not the "toilet-end of Europe". Are you retarded? What in the hell would make them low? Just because you've got that same "communism is evil" attitude the Americans used to, doesn't mean you're correct in any way.

@UltMitSinner78 NO not all tv looked that crummy in the 70's, but in the 70's games televised overseas were from satelite and the signal wasn't as strong and that's the reason for the poor quality. I watched this game live and this is exactly how my tv looked.

@robbiecda, you're probably too young to remember this, but when the game was televised live that was exactly what the film looked like. In 1972 they didn't have the technology and satelite quality was poor.

Before I was born, but a great moment. My Mom told me about how they stopped classes for this and watched it in school.
And against the training-year-round Russians who had been preparing for years, without Bobby Orr, at an inconvenient time of year, with a last-minute team- Go Canada! (Although I'm 1/8 Russian so I like them too.)

I think what makes this victory more sweet was all the politics outside the game. The Russians were calling the hotel rooms at 3:00 am, also the officiating was terrible. This team was thrown together and didn't have time to play much before the series and were all out of shape. To overcome bad officiating, poor condition etc was a great moment in sports
The "miracle on ice" was a great moment too and most Canadians were cheering for USA, but I think the 72 series ranks higher than that series
stubs96 1 year ago
The US/Canada insults are unbelievable. To the Americans (and I am one): Don't try to understand what this meant to Canada. There isn't an equivalent national sport here (don't say the NFL), so comparing the Miracle to this doesn't work. There are parts of the U.S. where people wouldn't know what a puck was. To the Canadians: 1980 happened. 9 times out of 10 the Soviets would have won. That time, they didn't. Maybe if they'd not pulled Tretiak, but they did. Enough now. We're fucking allies.

Your all stupid faces
Our Miracle on ice was cool because we sent mediocre players that overachieved
(even if it was only one win)
Your Summit Series win was a near total disaster that you were supposed to win and you almost lost in a way that single handedly swayed the balance of power in the world giving the Soviets the confidence they needed to extend the Cold War decades longer
(the way you won though with the 3 wins in the Union and the Henderson goal was totally fucking awesome)

Many people forget that Henderson scored the winning goal in each of the last three games of this series. Henderson yelled at Peter Mahovlich to come off the ice for this one, something he says he never did in any game before and didn't do in any game after. He simply felt deeply that he could score the goal, and almost did it the first time he tried.

11matt1 2 years ago
This was indeed a great moment in sports history, but (biased opinion) the GREATEST moment in sports history happened 8 years later in Lake Placid. A bunch of College kids taking out the essentially professional Soviets after having been beaten by the same Soviet team 10-3 not 2 weeks earlier in Madison Square Garden. You can say that it was devalued by Tikonov's pulling of Tretiak after the first period, but the bottom line is the Canadians were pros...the Americans were amateurs.
shadytnu24 2 years ago
No way...I mean I've seen the footage and that was absolutely fantastic but that game was in America. This game was the end of an 8 game series and proved we were better than the Soviets, coming back from 3 games down.
juzu4me 2 years ago
like I said, I am admittedly biased about this. To me, the amateur status of the Americans vs the professional nature of the Soviets, neutralized any potential home ice advantage. I will also say this, having seen footage of all 8 games of the summit series, I think the Canadians would have dominated the series had they given the Soviets the proper respect from the start (Even Phil Espo admitted they didn't until they realized just how good they were)
shadytnu24 2 years ago
The upset of the Soviets by the Americans was great but the best players from all countries weren't at those Olympics. So throw those best players into the Olympic formula and the outcome would most likely have been very different. In this series all the best players from both countries were playing. And it was 8 games, with a great 3 game comeback---not one lucky game. Don't get me wrong, it was a nice accomplishment....but.....
juzu4me 2 years ago
that's a fair assessment. There were a lot of breaks that went the Americans' way in Lake Placid, most notably the inexplicable benching of the best goalie in the world after a freak goal. That move still puzzles me.
shadytnu24 2 years ago
Who was the goalie who got benched? I'm just asking because Americans are getting testy because I'm exposing their Miracle on Ice as just a huge upset. Not a miracle--if Canada's best was playing we'd have put the college players on their asses and just put the puck in the net at will. The Russians wouldn't hit....Canada would have hit them over and over until they dropped. Miracle on Ice is a fairy tale, basically anyway
juzu4me 2 years ago 3
ok, I misinterpreted what you said before. you said you had seen the footage, I thought you meant you had seen the game from start to finish. Tretiak was in goal for the first period for the Soviets, until Dave Johnson scored with less than one second to go in the 1st. Tikonov was so irate that he pulled Tretiak (didn't even send him out for the final second of the 1st) in favor of Vladimir Myushkin. As for the puttin the puck in the net at willJimmy Craig was awfully good in goal.
shadytnu24 2 years ago
And remember the Americans had to run through the Czechs, Swedes, and West Germans before they ever got to the Soviets, then they had to deal with the Finns. Too often, the "Miracle on Ice" gets diluted down to just the one game, when in reality the "Miracle" was the entire tournament.
shadytnu24 2 years ago
wow juzu4me is a really disappointing representation of Canada. I'm sorry.
But realistically, let's talk: You speak of the west germans, finnish, swedes and czechs like they were on the same level as the soviets. They like you, had to use amateurs. The soviets used professionals. So you guys played good games against them, and got damn lucky against the soviets. Plus benching tretiak was a huge mistake. And then they didn't pull the goalie at the end of the game either, mistake.
Th3ch0s3n0n3s 1 year ago
And then there was the summit: the world's best vs. the world's best. an 8 game series that started horribly for us. we were so self-confident that we would sweep all 8 games and were shocked to have to go to Moscow down 2-1-1. Then game 5 we lose to make it 3-1-1. But Canada rallied back to win 3 in a row, henderson scoring the winner in all 3. And this was after the soviets had announced they'd claim victory in case of tie. that game is still the 3rd most watched tv broadcast ever in canada.

GET OVER IT. CANADA HAS FREE HEALTHCARE. IT IS PAYED FOR BY THE PEOPLE. That is what taxes are SUPPOSED to do. Canadians pay gladly because this means they don't have to shell out thousands of dollars at any given time. They are covered by the taxes they pay as an obligation to the country they are citizens of. Perhaps its not free in the truest sense but it still beats the US

What on earth is "tree hugger" supposed to mean? Was I lecturing you about saving some endangered species without realizing it?
Both teams had the worlds best players on their team, my point is that Bobby Clarke purposefully busted Kharlamov's ankle on his coach's orders (John Ferguson never denied it). That's cheap, bushleague stuff and to me it cheapens the fact that Canada won the last three games.
I don't get how Canadian fans could ever ignore it. They know hockey better than that.

spman48 2 years ago
I don't understand where tree hugger comes from either. However, Clarke was hardly the only dirty player on the ice. Mikhailov kicked Gary Bergman with his skate and admitted so later. Another Soviet player bit him on the ear. That is equally as bad.

The Russian team trained together for weeks.

Say or add anything else you want, but it's something you can never take away and the victory is all that matters in the context of the tournament.
