Rather Gingerly 1*

I was recently watching some DVDs of the '72 Canada/Russia series. A few things I would like to ask a few other old time hockey fans.
1 - Do you think the series would have been much different if Bobby Orr and Bobby Hull could have played in '72? They were the two best players in the NHL at the time.
2 - Most of Canada's troubles early on was getting the line combination. The only line that stayed together was the Henderson-Clarke-Ellis. Once the players got use to each other adn the lines started to gel the team started to play much better.
3 - The puck looked much bigger than today. Also, loved the view from places like Maple Leaf Gardens much better than the view we get in some arenas today.
