I was in college that day, all classes were stopped so that we could watch the game on CBC (Radio Canada), this was a unbelievable event - the national pride was at stakes especially since the Soviet Union "Olympic" team of the days were made of players that only did that, hockey while our players considered "professional" could not participate. This was a matter of national pride and honor, the rest is history!, Ciao, L

Ellis was not offside. Slow it down and look at it. Freeze it at 1:23:53. There were a lot of dubious calls by the referees in this game.
Look at the dive by Yakusev at 1:24:37. It's pathetic. Thankfully it didn't get called as a penalty. It was just a bit too obvious.
Если б Харламов там был и Тарасов.. Короче вы понимаете
"Da, da, Canada! Nyet, nyet, Soviet!"
А как ты не деградировал)) Заболтался человек...
