1972 Summit Series Canada Vs Soviet Union (Russia) Game 2, Toronto

Game 2 in this historic series nicknamed "The Cold War on Ice," and there is no doubt the series had that feel at times. It started off reasonably tame but as the series moved on it became more and more furious with the Canadians increasingly resorting to intimidation tactics.

Team Canada management had maintained a lack luster performance in game 1 was due to Canadians not being ready to play. So a better performance was promised.
