Talk:Vladislav Tretiak

Legendary performance?
The article said (until I just deleted it) that he gave a "legendary performance" by "salvaging" a 3-3 tie while getting outshot 38-13... Goaltenders in today's NHL make over 35 saves and give up less goals often. If anything, the most impressive part was his teammates scoring 3 goals on 13 shots. If someone can clarify this in the article, fell free to put it back. zellin 02:01, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Maybe you should actually know something about hockey before changing articles. During Tretiak's career, goalies played stand-up and had signifigantly smaller padding. As a reult, there were more goals scored and save percentages were lower. I'm changing it back.

Error
The Soviets did not win the silver medal. USSR lost to the US team in the semifinal round. The Soviets then won the bronze medal match.

 * No error. Please, check out the official website of the IOC: . The point is that the competition system in the medal round was round-robin, not play-offs. More links on this old question are available at Talk:Ice hockey at the 1980 Winter Olympics. Cmapm 00:50, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

More categorization
This article needs to be put into sections. It looks like a stack of info and the reader needs to go through a lot to see what they are looking for. I'm too busy right now so I'll let someone else try to fix it up.-- Hasek is the best 00:46, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

What happened to the old image? I thought it was licensed under the Public Domain. --Wafulz 12:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The image was deleted on commons, probably together with hundreds of images from the website of Russian government because its licensing was not free enough (see Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/License tags of russian websites) Alex Bakharev 00:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Damn. Oh well, thanks for the link.--Wafulz 03:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Medal record
In 1978 USSR won the world championship according to the IIHF website. The wikipedia-site about that championship mentions them as world champions too, but gives the european championship to Czechoslovakia, so something seems to be mixed up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Enterich (talk • contribs) 17:35, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
