Before this tournamet the Soviet players were supplied by their government a Lada and an apartment. After these games they were spotted driving Mercedes and wearing expensive jewelry. US Hockey is rumoured to have paid the Soviet players in excess of 250 thousand dollars each to lose this hockey game to the United States, That was a lot of money back then. They were convincing while they took their kneel, weren't they?

Canada was not in the medal round, but our best players, being "professionals" (unlike the Russian guys who were in the Army but played hockey all year) were not allowed to play. So, our best players didn't get into the medal round.
What is surprising about that?
The NHL All-Stars did play the USSR, but in 1979. 90% Canadian.
Yes, one game the Russians won 6-0. Probably an off night, especially if you compare it to all the other tournaments over the years.

Buddy, lambourginiish is an idiot whose foolishness is exacerbated by his rudeness.
He does not represent all Canadians, and I am embarrassed to share a citizenship with him.
There are only two choices with a goof like that; either ignore him or sink to his level. It's fun to bash him one back, but remember what the man once said:
"The more you taunt the monkey in the cage, the more he throws his feces at you."

@lamborginiish lmao yeah cuz everyone in america is fat, you are so ignorant to the world thats obvious, why dont you visit the states you will see that we dislike fat people just as much as you, but we do have 300,000,000 people, i mean there is going to be a huge chance of us having more fat people than a country with only 30 mil, get it? its basic math, genius

Buddy, no need to get rude with the Yanks. IF you rely on facts rather than spleen you will make your point with more force. Shite-calling just makes you seem ... well, silly.

But, they still found a way to beat the Soviet Union!

Great point! Being from the south, I rarely, if ever watched hockey before this game. From what I've learned since, you nailed it. |
