• The “Punch-up in Piestany” erupted halfway through the final game of the 1987 world junior hockey championship. Canada was assured a medal, and would have moved ahead of Finland for the gold if they had beaten the Soviets by at least five goals.
• The blow-up began as a fight between Pavel Kostichkin and Theoren Fleury. Four Soviet players left their bench to join the brawl, and then all the players on both teams swarmed onto the ice.

Canada cheated in the 1987 game against USSR. I’ve seen the replays a USSR player was tripped twice and no penalty was called. I know the referees did not see it, I’m not arguing that. But Canada did cheat, because you are not allowed to trip someone. It really baffles me when people say Canada fairly.
