I think Canadians have long time to realize that Russia is number one in hockey

@pajmf Because Canada started the intimidation. The 1972 series, Russian won the first game, So CAnada team knew they had to play rough at this point. Ask the old generation "we played like NA players = we played rough... russians weren't ready for this". In Russia, they will say "they played rough, because they were not as skilled as us to play clean". It just 2 point of views with 2 completely different ways to plays hockey. I prefer clean hockey and skills, but that's me.

@Mineav Mario was 6'6, and secondly, Mario could of made more pts with less stupidity and violence in NHL. He got his back injured. Russians were playing real hockey = clean and pure skills. The yanks transformed hockey.. it used to be clean, but the 70's transformed this sport. Obviously, the Flyers were lacking skills compared to the russians... so they tried to intimidate them. Good thing Russians left the ice and sent a message.

@Mineav As much as I hate the Penguins, I always respected Lemieux; one tought SOB! You are absolutly right about the Russians!
Mario Lemieux took a hit or two worse than that PER game in most of his younger years, and out-right refused to have 'protection' (a pugilist). But he got up like a man after each hit. Kharlamov is the prototypical Russian skilled player: nice skills, no balls.

Not really any penalties on that clip. Possibly a high hit down in the corner. Face it, Flyer (North American Hockey) at the time was kinda goony, but not on this day. Flyers and North American Hockey totally outplayed and "schooled" the Europeans. Shots were 45-9. If not for the great Tretiek the score would have been about 12-1.!! Cut the faking. This is not soccer and you are not playing in Europe. GET UP YOU PUSSy!
