Russians Want NHL As a Foe
The Soviet Union hockey team, dominating the World Cup, seeks to face an NHL all star squad rather than individual teams. Coach Vsevolod Bobrov said Russians would prefer an NHL all star lineup and would aim to keep fights down. NHL president Clarence Campbell had begun talks for games against Russia, but negotiations paused. The Soviets opened with a 5-0 lead en route to a World Cup sweep, while the U.S. team finished 0-3 under coach Bob Johnson.
