Bryan Trottier, born in Val Marie, Saskatchewan, played for Canada at 1981 Canada Cup, but chose to play for Team USA in this tournament…and he was heartily booed by fans in Halifax during this game. “I expected

the booing,” said Trottier. “I figured when I made the decision to play for Team USA, that I would be booed. I expected the worst. Don’t ask me why. I don’t know. It doesn’t bother me. I know all the people aren’t booing

me. It’s a let’s-all-join-in-the-fun thing. I understand.” “I felt better when our fifth goal went in,” said American coach Bob Johnson. “But, I was always concerned

about their firepower. You can’t be too careful with the Swedes. They can come at you when you least expect it.”

Coaches: UNITED STATES, Bob Johnson; CANADA, Glen Sather, John Muckler, Ted Green, Tom Watt 10 563 at Montreal Forum

“In most ways, this tie was a win for the U.S. hockey program, a real boost to American hockey progress,”

said American coach Bob Johnson. “They whipped us by five goals last time (in the 1981 Canada Cup), but the calibre of players we have has improved since then. Don’t forget, we have several kids not more than a

year or two out of high school hockey. I’d like to keep these kids together for two years — maybe we can get an Act of Congress to do it — and then challenge the Soviets to a best-of-seven series.”

“A tie is not the end of the world because we won’t be the only team the U.S. ties in this tournament,” said defenceman Larry Robinson CAN, named this game’s top Canadian player. “Give the U.S. credit for a good

game. They had good goaltending, their defence played well and their forwards are honest workers.” Canadian netminder Grant Fuhr strained a tendon in his left knee in this game and would not dress

again in the tournament

“(The West Germans) played poor against Canada. The Germans can play some good games,” said Czech

head coach Ludek Bukac. “All games for us are very difficult. The pressure was very large. They scored three easy goals in the first period. They played 100 per cent against us and poor against Canada.”

Due to their second period fight, Helmut Steiger FRG and Miroslav Horava TCH were also suspended for the next game played by each of their clubs

The London crowd was very vocal when cheering for the West Germans, shouting “Let’s Go Deutscheland!”

“It was one of the hardest games for us,” said Soviet coach Viktor Tikhonov. “I’m satisfied with the score, not the game. It was a very struggle (sic) and hard to skate. I think it was not so exciting for the spectators.

We lost pucks, a reason for a lot of emotional tension. Sweden was good, but we had more luck.” Sweden has not defeated the Soviet Union in international hockey since 1977 — 41 straight games

The loudest cheers among the small crowd were reserved for when the PA announcer gave Canadian federal election updates, as Progressive Conservative Brian Mulroney became Canada’s 18th prime minister,

defeating Liberal incumbent John Turner

9 456 Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver

“I wish there was some way to explain why we haven’t been able to produce solid team hockey,” said Team Canada defenceman Doug Wilson. “But no one can explain our lack of consistency. It certainly isn’t because

of lack of effort.” Head coach Glen Sather echoed Wilson’s comments: “I see good hockey players, the best in the NHL, not

being able to do the things that made them the best and I can’t explain it.” After the game, Wayne Gretzky looked back to controversial comments Phil Esposito made in Vancouver

during the 1972 Summit Series: “Twelve years ago here, Phil Esposito said to the country: ‘Hey, look here! We’re down but we’re not out and we’re trying as hard as we can to do it.’ We hope that the Calgary fans will

be behind us because we need something to get us going. We must win one of the two games we have left and we better not wait until Monday (v USSR).”

With G Grant Fuhr out of the tournament, Rejean Lemelin served as Pete Peeters’ back-up for Canada

This win for Canada clinched them a playoff spot in this tournament

“There’s been some soul-searching by every player in the past few days,” said John Tonelli. ”We knew there was a really good level of play hiding in this team and we just had to get it out. It’s taken a little time for a

truly good team feeling to develop. These are guys I try to beat all season and don’t like much – not because they’re bad guys but because they’re good hockey players, trying to pick my pocket. There hasn’t been any

bad blood between the players but we needed time to get close as a team.” “Getting my first goal of the Canada Cup was like having a 100-pound weight lifted off my back,” Peter

Stastny said. “It was encouraging that this team could win when it had to do it and now we just have to carry on the same calibre of play to the second part of the tournament.”

Sweden had ten shots on goal before West Germany got their first

“We have to play patient hockey with much emphasis on defence if we are going to be competitive,” said Swedish forward Thomas Gradin. “We must play as a five-man unit, shut the other teams down in the

neutral zone and wait for mistakes.” Despite the fact he got two assists, Sweden’s coach Leif Boork continues to hope Kent Nilsson shoots the

puck more. “Since Kent was 10 years old, every coach he’s had has told him to shoot more,” Boork said.

“I think we proved a point,” said American coach Bob Johnson. “We felt we’d have a chance if we could keep

up with the Russians’ tempo. We did, and we had a real shot at winning or tying. Now, if we meet these guys again in this tournament, we’ll go in with a lot of confidence.”

This win by the Soviets clinched first place in the round-robin portion of this tournament

“It would have been typically Swedish, so to speak, to lose a game like this,” said Sweden’s coach Leif Boork.

“We used to be the shy Swedes who didn’t seem to care in big games. We’ve tried to change that attitude and now we always try to win. We show with this team that we can come back as a team and as individuals.”

The Czechs were winless in their five Canada Cup games. They used seven players up from their national junior team. “We let some older players to after the Olympics to the National Hockey League…and the

younger players have no background, just talent at this stage,” said Czech coach Ludek Bukac

than I did after the 5-4 loss to them (in the concluding pre-tournament game). Some of our players had

perhaps their best games of the tournament and that’s a good sign. Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Glenn

Anderson and Paul Coffey are in that category.” “We showed them in the third period that we can place pressure on their zone and sustain it,” said Team

Canada forward Mike Gartner. “Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise that we get them in a one-game showdown because if we can play the way we did in the third period for an entire game, we have a very good chance of

beating them.”

“Now, it’s just a matter of using the things we learned in that game and playing thoroughly controlled hockey for the whole game next time,” said Canada defenceman Kevin Lowe.

With two first-period goals, F Vladimir Krutov CAN was named the Soviets’ player of the game

G Tom Barrasso USA sat out this game after bruising his knee in USA’s last game v. USSR “We’ve always had problems with West Germany through the years,” said American coach Bob Johnson.

“They beat Finland in the World Cup (1983) and earned the right to be here. I was scared because of (the possibility of) an emotional letdown.”

In the round-robin portion of the tournament, USA defeated Sweden 7-1 “I’d rather not say anything because no matter what I say, I’ll get jabbed for it,” said beleaguered USA

netminder Tom Barrasso. “I truly feel for Barrasso because he’s the guy who got us here,” said USA defenceman Rod Langway

Sweden was led by Hakan Loob 3g, 1a, Kent Nilsson 1g, 4a and Thomas Steen 2g

“(Calgary Flames’ and American coach Bob) Johnson joked that if Sweden lost this game, I could have two weeks off before the Flame training camp but if we won, I had to be in camp next week,” said Sweden and

Flames’ forward Kent Nilsson. “At least, I think he was joking.”

“Peter (Peeters) was just superb and I felt that forechecking could work against them because they aren’t used to it,” said Canada’s coach Glen Sather. “It has to be very good forechecking or they can kill you on

their breakouts, but tonight we had it right there. There’s been enormous pressure and much controversy around this team, plus all the stuff about it being the Oilers. Well, this time, it was Team Canada and that’s

why it felt like we finally had a large number of people behind us.” “It just seems a little strange, that’s all,” said Canada’s defenceman Paul Coffey. “The Russians were 5-1 in

the tournament and we’re 3-2-1. We’re in the final and they go home empty.” “The players were over-passing at times and I told them about it, but they don’t always listen to me,” said

Soviet coach Viktor Tikhonov. “I thought that Canada was a little groggy until they tied the game up (in the third).”

“We took control of the play instead of allowing the Swedes to do it, the way we did in Vancouver,” said Canada’s defenceman Paul Coffey. “The Swedes aren’t a bad club and they do have some firepower. But we

don’t plan to let them off the hook.” “I think that was a game between two satisfied teams,” said Sweden’s Mats Naslund. “Our club because we

made it to the Canada Cup final and Team Canada because they had beaten the Russians.” Gretzky-Middleton-Goulet line combined for 3g, 2a. “Gretzky is so great that it’s difficult to find words to

describe him, but a reason he’s so great is that there is no pattern to anything he does,” said Canada’s Michel Goulet.

“After losing so badly in ’81, it seemed we were questioning everything about our approach to the game

because we felt the Soviets had taken the game away from us,” said Canada’s coach Glen Sather. “Well, now the NHL can strut again. This truly remarkable group of men have showed that we can develop and

play the game as well as anyone. But we must remember, too, that hockey now is truly a great international sport. Some years we’ll win and some years the Soviets will win. And after the good showings by the

Swedes and Team USA in this tournament, it won’t always be a two-horse race.” F Kent Nilsson SWE was named his team’s most valuable player in the tournament

“There were some differences in this dressing room, although nothing major,” said Canada’s John Tonelli. “But every club needs discipline and Glen (Sather) picked the right time to give it to us straight. We decided

then that we had to do what he told us and we have to give much credit to him because he had a plan and stuck to it.”

Even though he is Canadian, the Swedes agreed to allow Bryan Lewis to referee this final game
