The Canadians expected an easy sweep, but the Soviets shocked them in Game 1 with a 7-3 victory in Montreal. The Soviets didn't play like North Americans; instead of dump-and-chase hockey, they used intricate, weaving passes and elite conditioning. The series moved to Moscow with Canada’s back against the wall. In the final seconds of the final game, Paul Henderson scored the most famous goal in Canadian history, securing a 6-5 win and the series title.
