Game 4 The Soviet team coaches were pleased with the result of the match in Winnipeg, and therefore the changes in the lineup were minimal: defensemen Ragulin and Paladyev, who had been given a rest, returned, as did forwards Vikulov and Blinov. But the Canadian coaches changed as many as eight players, putting Cournoyer, Mikita, Cashman, Parise, and Savard (the latter had a serious right knee injury) on the bench. These reshuffles were partly caused by the growing discontent of a number of players due to their rare participation in games. As a result, Dryden, Hull, Perreault, and Hadfield took to the ice. The match began with attacks by the USSR team, and after 8 minutes it was leading 2:0. Both times Mikhailov skillfully put his stick under defenseman Lutchenko's shots and twice sent the puck into Dryden's goal. And both times the majority was realized - Bill Goldsworthy was sent off twice. The Canadians began to attack furiously, but it was "Tretiak's day" - he blocked 38 shots, 21 of them in the final period. Perrault's solo performance in the 26th minute allowed the home team to reduce the gap. But less than a minute later, Petrov's line scored again - this time Blinov scored against Dryden. And soon Maltsev and Kharlamov assisted Vikulov - 4:1. In the last twenty minutes, the Canadians, having outshot the USSR team almost 4 times (23-6), scored two goals - Phil Esposito made two assists: first to Goldsworthy, and then to D. Hull. But between these goals, there was one goal for the USSR - Shadrin finished off the attack started by defenseman Vasiliev and Yakushev. The Canadians looked quite tired and were clearly inferior to the Soviet hockey players in almost all components of the game. The 15,000-plus fans did not let this go unnoticed, and by the end of the game the crowd was loudly expressing their displeasure with the professionals. Frank Mahovlich was also shocked by the incident, saying, “I’m ready to believe anything now. After what the Russians did to us in our game here in Canada, I’m afraid there’s nothing sacred left in sports. If someone introduces them to American football, they’ll crush the Dallas Cowboys in two years and win the first prize.” The Soviets took the lead in the series, with two wins, one tie, and one loss.
