Canadians fighting Russians

[Bosein]

Not the brawl in 1987. I saw a documentary years ago about Russians trying to make a Canadian winning goal not count by preventing the goal light from going. Then Canadian players got into a fight with Russian soldiers. I think it was Henderson's goal in 1972, but not sure. If anyone can point out the year and any documentaries about it would be super appreciated. Thanks.

It was 1972, it was game 8, in the last half of the third period.
Peter Mahovolich had to go rescue Eagleson from the Police, as Eagleson was flipping out.
Don’t recall any fisticuffs with soldiers.

Cool series they brought TVs into the classrooms to watch, or the gymnasium

That's the Eagleson video. It's after the tying Cournoyer goal, not Henderson's goal.

I doubt it was the KGB. Just regular cops

That’s probably the case actually, I’ll change it.
