They actually beat Finland for the gold 2 days after they upset Russia. The final was 4-2.

You are tight Finland, I thought Sweden. However the Red Army Team lost to a bunch of American college kids. Didn’t the RAT beat these same kids like 10-2 in an exhibition game in the States before the Olympics started?

The story is that before the game with Finland the players were waiting in the locker room for Coach Brooks, who usually had lengthy preparatory remarks and chalk talk for the boys.

Minutes passed, more minutes passed, no Brooks. The players sat in uneasy silence.

With almost no time before the puck dropped, Brook blew through the door, glared fiercely around the room, seemingly in a rage.

Then he yelled, "If you lose this game, you will f---king never forgive yourselves! F---king NEVER!!!.

He slammed back through the doors and out to the ice.
