Way too late. That link has been in two earlier threads prior to the WJCs. Mods might want merge this with one of them.

 

[MOGiLNY]

I just don't understand the fascination with brawls.. Watching people fight and enjoying it is just not my cup of tea..

 

[wilka91*]

Double thread ... this was already brought up here less than a month ago.

Thanks for the clip! I have been looking for it for a while now

Mogilny, where did Shirokov go? What happend to your avatar?

 

[candon]

What I find amusing is that Peter Forsberg recently said that Canada has too much influence on the International Tourneys and that if it was anyone but a Can that had drilled him from behind they would have benn suspended blah ;ah frakin blah. Luv FOPPA as a player but he often sounds to me like he has a screw loose when he comments on this kind of thing. I wonder what would have happened if Canada had pulled that crap on USSR. It was overt cheating IMO and they should have been suspended for the next Tourney. Can you imagine the hue and cry if we pulled that ****e? Cripes

This was one of the most disgraceful incidents in hockey history. It really speaks to the neanderthalish attitudes of many hockey fans that they enjoy this nonsense and get all pissy over Ovechkin pointing to his jersey.

Does anyone know who the commentators were? The voices sound familiar but I just can't pinpoint it.

 

[Epsilon]

Wow, a brilliant response.

Personally, I think when the guards came out, they should have started firing their guns into the ceilling. All these big tough guys on the ice would have probably returned to the locker room with yellow stains in their pants.

Thank You.

I think one is Don Whitman.

 

[nomorekids]

does anyone have the rosters from this game? i did hear theo fleury's name called...as well as the infamous everett sanipass.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I think one is Don Whitman.

Nope. Brian Williams in one of the worst and most embarrassing efforts ever. His broadcast was truly shameful.

I don't mean to question you, as I was not there to see the game on TV live... but the commentator in the video REALLY doesn't sound like Brian Williams at all. I still think it's Don Whitman, but maybe Williams sounded like that in 1987.

EDIT: Just googled up Brian Williams' and Don Wittman's profiles on CBC -- they don't say anything about Wittman doing the WJC and they note Williams has, so I guess Williams must be the guy in the video.

The final match of USSR-CAN was interrupted, when time clock showed 33 minutes and 53 seconds of playing time, with score 4:2 in favour of Canadians, because of fighting on ice in which participated players of both commands.

On the solution of IIHF, the commands of USSR and CAN were both disqualified and remained without places in the total qualification. At the same time, the results of other matches with their participation are left valid.

 

[Panopticon]

So the Russians only won 2 games, Poland and Switzerland, how the hell did they make it to the final in the first place?

"according to the international rules, this is not permitted"


Oh, right, I forgot.
