Boy.......Fedorov, Mogilny, Malakhov, Davydov, Zelepukin I can't believe it!

If I am not mistaken it had something to do with Zelepukin. His shoulder was beaten out and the Soviet coach told his players to take some revenge.

I actually own a copy of this game if anybody is interested. The sound quality isn't great but I'd be willing to copy it if anybody wants to shell out a few bucks my way.

Wow I always loved Valeri, so Im glad he wasn't fighting in it.

The game itself was very chippy and I put some of the blame on the referee Ronning who seemed to be out of his element at that level. It is also ironic that the two teams shared a moment of silence honouring the four Swift Current Bronco players a few minutes before the brawl.

Shanahan I believe was the first Canadian over the boards, followed by Luke. I believe there's a quote out there from Shanahan about that.

First you say that all you want is a link and now you are provoking people.

Develop a sense of humour.

I saw the game. Canada WAS ahead 4-2 and were threatening to run away with it when the brawl began. The fights, of course, were also one-sided.

Who cares? Russia - 12 gold medals. Canada - 10 gold medals. End of story. Russia wins - you lose.

I believe he was cross checked at center ice with the ref watching. No penalties were given, which gives you an idea how lost the ref was.
