That was maybe the most classic ice hockey game ever played IMO, because it was when communism came up against the Philly attitude. The Russians were all professionals and everyone knew it. Trivia Note: The Russians were told they wouldn’t get paid if they didn’t return to the ice by the Flyer’s loud mouth announcer Gene Hart, who spoke fluent Russian.
And the rest of the NHL hated the Flyers until they became their bullies for one day.
