PRESS ROOM 1974: Game 3
SOVETSKY SPORT DAILY
by Vladimir Dvortsov
September 1974
Toronto
If Toronto is considered a lucky for Team Canada
town (they won in both Series by 4-1 in Toronto),
Winnipeg brings luck to our players.
Interesting enough, Team USSR won here for the
first time in the second Summit vs. Team Canada.
We've managed to win here and not lose a game afterwards.
The game was full with goals with an 8-5 final
score. Our team managed to get a scoring advantage
really fast and not long before the end of the game
the score was 7-2.
As soon as Team USSR got over confident, the score
changed very fast to 7-5.
The "magic wand" of Team Canada 1972,
Paul Henderson scored twice. Then, our players congratulated
Maltsev who finally managed to score against Canadians
for the first time in both Summits.
Kulagin was having fun. He even began to joke around:
"Before the game, I told our players 'Hey,
it's time to start playing!' Can't you see the results?"
