This was the fastest hardest hitting game in that series (or the Canadian portion anyway). No ads along the boards. The referees only call flagrant transgressions. No head shots or fighting. Traditional wood sticks that dont break at inopportune times. Id take a game from the 1970s over most of what passes as hockey in 2016 quite frankly. That small arena with the crowd right on top of the action makes it even better.
kharlomovs goal at 1:03 sheer beauty,no matter how many times ive watched this series i never tire of it,and keep coming back.hendersons game winning goal late in game 7 also sheer beauty...
You add Bobby Hull & Bobby Orr (healthy) to this team & I truly believe this series would've been drastically turned, maybe even switching a loss or even 2 to a victory.
Could say the same thing, the other way around....the Russians' 2 top Defensemen, Vitaly Davydov and Igor Romishevsky, retired in the spring of 72'' as did their top winger, Anatoly Firsov.
i dont know why some people are knocking the camerawork of this game,i think it was excellent ,and like most of the camerawork of that era 1960s to 80s was the greatest camerawork of hockey ive ever seen. way,way,better than this disgusting camerawork of today.also the hockey was much better wide open and exciting than now. hockey on tv in those days was something you looked forward to.now i turn off the telecasts,and listen on the radio or internet.also in those days hockey on tv was way more exciting than football on tv, and so much more exciting than baseball,or basketball on tv it made you feel like throwing rocks at these other sports.
Am I the only one who noticed that after some merely polite applause in the first 2 games, Bobby Clarke got the biggest cheer of the night in Winnipeg?
He's from Flin Flon, Manitoba and at that time (he was one of the youngest from Team Canada) still associated more with Manitoba than with Philadelphia
Would be nice if they just played the national anthems on the organ now in the NHL rather than having to listen to singers trying to put their particular mark on it. The 70s was rough, but at least it had some class. My $0.02.
@@ronmailloux9370 I can't disagree with you. At least he was skating. Hadfield, and Frank M should NEVER have been invited to this series. How Dryden, 29th in goalie rankings, got picked is a huge mystery to me, especially when Jacques Plante and Gilles Villemure were available. Villemure didn't play much, next to Giacomin, but he was a super net minder. Bernie Parent was also available, a rookie, playing for a very weak team, but he watch the videos of his play back then; he was outstanding. Probably can't improve on Tony Esposito as a choice, but there were some very good candidates that got overlooked for reasons I will never understand. Rogie Vachon was also up for grabs for this series, and was overlooked, and he was outstanding in 76. Dryden backstopped the best defensive team ever assembled. Why didn't anyone consider that? The Soviets do not know how lucky they were to have an NHL selection committee so hung up on NHL Politics, and for Bobby Orr to be injured. This series would have been a complete 8-0 if those in charge of team selection weren't motivated by the politics of the NHL at the time. Imagine Bobby Hull, Bobby Orr, Gordie Howe, Plante, and Jacques Lemaire, perhaps the best two-way center in the game then. Woulda-coulda-shoulda! But imagine, woulda!!!
@@jimturner4937 Lemaire and Keon both would have been great additions .As for Dryden hard to say he did pretty much win a cup for the habs in 1971 and it was still fresh in the minds of hockey reps. Maybe Plante didnt want to play he was getting up there. Parent had not proved himself yet ..Hull Being snubbed was rotten to the core...Orr most of all would have made the biggest difference .However the old saying goes we won somehow ....and if Orr..hull J.c. Trembley ..Sanderson....Cheevers played would hendersen clarke etc. even get on the team? Would our team been any less cocky at first?....Would we have relied too much on Orr and hull? This team gelled as a team thank god.
@@jimturner4937 you are crazy.Under no circumstance would Canada ever have won all 8 games and I don't care who they had out there. They could never stop the Soviets from being great.
canada played well and won,even though the russians played better except for game 2,but the canadien series victory as great as it was, was greatly diminished thanks to john fergusons and bobby clarkes stupid decision to play dirty and unsportsmanlike hockey by injuring kharlomov. yes bobby orr did not play because he was injured, but he was not sought out and injured as kharlomov was,but ferguson and clarke were always jerks...
yes but he saved our bacon in game 2...plus the pass by mahovilich was bad never drop pass in your own zone unless there is no one on the ussr near you

And well deserved he played Great in this Series, plus he was from Manitoba.

Savard was awesome in this game. Espo good in every game.
He was stellar throughout when he played...he may have been the difference..canada was 4-0-1 when he was in the line-up..
The quick cuts to the goal crease drive me crazy. I find it distracting and takes away from the game. Whoever thought that was a good idea?

Ron Ellis just a lost soul out there. A few others from Canada were just not up to this level.
he was doing a good job of checking.....frank m.....vic hadfield were lost out there many time

ben callos - or Mikhailov kicking n slicing open Bergman's leg? Oh right, because everyone seems to forget about that
Too bad they could NOT announce Bobby Hull! Would not let him play but the game was played in Winnipeg.
They must have filmed this from the rafters...lol I am watching on a 42" inch and the players look like ants :)
Savard made the Bobby Orr spin on the Ruskies. Until this point, the Soviets thought they were better.
I agree that Canada was the best, but it was Called the Savardian Spin.
Esposito blew that first Soviet goal. You have to stop shots like that. That was a deflating goal.
yes but he saved our bacon in game 2...plus the pass by mahovilich was bad never drop pass in your own zone unless there is no one on the ussr near you
True FH, but BOrr invented it, really.
Тут только проигрышы показывают
Это игра вничью закончилась вообще-то.
