Canada vs U.S.S.R 1987 World Junior Hockey bench clearing b

Back




• The "Punch-up in Piestany" erupted halfway through the final game of the 1987 world junior hockey championship. Canada was assured a medal, and would have moved ahead of Finland for the gold if they had beaten the Soviets by at least five goals. • The blow-up began as a fight between Pavel Kostichkin and Theoren Fleury. Four Soviet players left their bench to join the brawl, and then all the players on both teams swarmed onto the ice. Excerpt from cbc.ca.

they try to compensate lack of skill with agressive behavior and fighting.

I Seriously Miss the Union, They actually gave Canada the most exciting hockey games in history. If only they had the hockey skills they did so long ago, Then would hockey be the same.
