Canada-USSR 1972 Summit Series Game 2

Game 2 of the summit series.

The second game was played at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto on September 4.

Team Canada responded to their previous defeat with stronger play in this game. The first period was scoreless, but the Canadians used the period to intimidate the Soviets with hard body checking, especially from Cashman, Gary Bergman, Peter Mahovlich and Parisé, to throw the Soviets off their game.
