gotta love the old games, habs are my fave, ken drydens mask is the best of all time,
-
Ken Dryden was such a load. 3 goals on 13 shots, lol. Fun to see the ovation Tretiak got at the end, Montreal absolutely loved that guy and he desperately wanted to play for the Habs. Soviets wouldn't let anyone go in those days.
-
Dick Irvin sounds like he's crying.
This guy was the biggest homer on Canadian TV.
-
Canadiens at that time were the best team to ever play. they could play you any way you wanted. tough, skilled, check you to death. strong mobile defense.
-
Nice hearing some old names here. Tretiak ,Kharlamov,Mihailov, Danny Gallivan and Howie Meeker.
-
This has to be one of the greatest games ever played...
I rememeber watching it on tv and living in Renfrew,Ontario,Canada at the time..
Super Series 76 was great....
I truly mis Hockey Night In Canada.....
-
The Russians just happened to make the most of the few shots they did get!
-
The Habs outplayed the Russians in this game,they should have won
-
I just don't think the Soviets played all that well, nor do I think this was the best Soviet team ever assembled. However even if these were the two best teams ever, this fact would not mean that the game would by default be the best. It was still a fine match though.
You are so wrong: the habs outpayed the soviets. 30-something against 14 shots, tells you much about the soviets that night that can be summarized into one name: Tretiak. Philadelphia did NOT beat the soviets hockey wise, they "beat" them, literally. The soviets LEFT the game to the Flyers, they were so pissed-off of their savagery that they didn't even want to play after 2 periods! It was NOT a hockey game that the Flyers won, it was a shameful display of savagery from no-class bums.

These were the days when hockey was hockey and money was left out of picture.
