I played hooky from school to watch this game (no way I was missing it). I have also read that other schools rolled a tv into the gymnasium for all the kids to watch.

I remember watching it in the gym at school in Victoria. I also remember that I was forced to recite the lord's prayer and if I didn't, I'd get the strap. Yes, no shit.

The officials for tonight's game are Franz Baader and Josef Kompalla (better known as Baader and Worse)

CCCP just took a 2-1 lead on a powerplay goal - Looks like the satellite feed is breaking up.

 

[dash]

Man, Alexander Yahkishev can fly down the wing...

 

[dash]

I can't believe I'm cheering for Rags players (Brad Park from Jean Ratelle ties the game 2-2)

 

[dash]

2-2 after one period - I forgot about J. P. Parise almost decapitating one of the refs in the first period.

 

[dash]

Come on Dryden, wake up

21 seconds in and it's 3-2 CCCP

 

[dash]

Bill White ties the game for Canada (nice pressure by the Canadians led to that goal)

3-3

 

[dash]

Dryden robs Boris Milhalov on a 2-on-1...

As I type, a brutal Canadian giveaway and CCCP takes the lead 4-3 (Yahkishev)

I try. Much better than being a dumb aleck.

 

[dash]

There's a stat (Canada didn't lose a single game in the series with Serge Savard in the lineup (4-0-1)

 

[dash]

Esposito with a great save (Phil, not Tony) as Dryden was way out of position...

 

[dash]

Oh man, nice backdoor play by CCCP and it's 5-3. Nyet!

 

[dash]

5-3 for the Soviets after 2 periods - 20 minutes from disaster.

Hey 43, Bob Clarke just called Tretiak overrated...
