Communist bloc pro-amateurs (who trained together fulltime 50 weeks per year in the guise of being in the military) versus genuine amateurs (guys who held real jobs or were legitimate students).
After 1968. Canada did not send a hockey team to Sapporo in 1972 after the IOC ruled that NHL players cannot compete at the Olympic level.
The next time Canada would meet the USSR would be the 1972 Summit Series. Canada would start slow in the first four games in Canada(1-2-1), but they would gain strength to win the series on a goal by Paul Henderson in the 8th and final game. Canada would post a better record in Russia(3-1-0).

@streetcarjay
Then the next meeting would take place in 1974 Summit Series, where Canada didn't win a single game...
