Talk:Rendez-vous '87

Series Outcome
Even though the Soviets scored one more goal in the series, it is considered a tie. The citation at the end of the introduction contains a quote from Viktor Tikhonov which clearly shows that they made no claim to victory. However, one particular user continually tries to force in the statement that the Soviets won the series on aggregate. They did not. It was a tie, end of story.88.103.9.230 (talk) 15:40, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Czechoslovakia
I'm curious, but does anyone know why Czechoslovakia was not represented amongst NHLers? It would make sense that Quebec's best player at the time, Peter Stastny (who was a Canadian citizen), would play in front on his home crowd. Yankees76


 * Since he defected to Canada in 1980 he might have been afraid that the soviet players would be extra tough on him. Maybe it was a silent agreament, between NHL and the soviets, that they (the russians) wouldn't come if they had to face a defectee on the ice. But that's just my personal thoughts...I can't back it up. - Stealth


 * I doubt that has anything to do with it. Reading his stats, he played only 64 games that season, so he might have been injured at the time.  I doubt there was any fear on his part or any backdoor politics . . .  he had faced both Czechoslovakia and the USSR as a member of Team Canada at the 1984 Canada Cup.  It does seem natural that he'd be selected since it was in Quebec.  88.102.148.34 (talk) 15:44, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Assessment
I have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub (although it requires more referencing and in-line citations), and of low importance, as it is a highly specific event within Canada. Cheers, CP 16:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

POV
the biased officiating that showed its ugly head in the first game
