(Writes on the stick) Nastia.

Look, this is the morning paper.

Somebody slipped it under

my hotel room door.

This is us, the Soviet National Team,

portrayed as a shirttail student.

And this is a Canadian teacher

teaching us how to play hockey.

I am asking you:

are you really students?

You, who easily defeat the best

national teams of the world?

I know that you can defeat anybody.

So go to the rink.

And prove it.

So, guys, let's have a sit?

I don't see anything!

OK, now!

What's the matter? Go back to your

wards, everybody! Bed time!

Hey, fellows, please move

a little bit, we don't see anything.

Sit down, mother, sit!

No, I am not going to watch,

I'm all nerves.

And there's stuff to iron.

(Announcer) ...This is a feeling that only

pioneers can understand.

(Announcer) We all feel that we are

pioneer explorers now...

(Announcer) getting to the ice

to cross swords with a tough opponent.

(Announcer) We hope that Soviet hockey fans

are not going to be frustrated.

( Announcer) This is a live broadcast from Montreal.

(Announcer) The official opening

of the Super Series is starting.

(Announcer) USSR vs. Canada.

(Announcer) One can feel the special

atmosphere of this match.

(Announcer) For the first time in history the Soviet

National plays against the best NHL players.

(Announcer) Look how different

the approaches of the two teams are.

(Announcer) The style of our rivals is...

We play against Canada.

Kharlamov is playing.

- Who, patient Kharlamov?

- Yes.

(Announcer) The Canadian professionals

intentionally play without helmets.

- Who's that?

- Milhailov!

(Announcer) The Canadian captain

wins the option.

(Announcer) He has taken this

symbolical moment rather furiously.

(Announcer) In Canada ice hockey

is more than just a sport.

(Announcer) It is a show.

Can you see now?

Juanita! Come to see our nephew!

Jose, don't start without me.

I'm coming.

Few seconds left before the start

of the first period.

- We scored?

- No, they did!

(Announcer) 30 seconds into the match...

(Announcer) and the Canadian captain

delivers the puck...

(Announcer) into the Soviet cage.

Where are you going? Ice skater...

(Announcer) After just 30 seconds

we are already losing.

(Announcer) But we must stay strong.

(Announcer) Stay strong no matter

what it takes.

(Announcer) It is 1:0 for Canada.

Mikhailov, Petrov, Kharlamov!

God damn it! It was so new!

What the f*** are you laughing at?

Oh sh*t! They scored again!

(Announcer) 6 minutes into the match.

What are you looking at?

15 days arrest, each!

(Announcer) Yes, these are the Canadians.

(Announcer) The audience is exulting.

(Announcer) What is here to add?

(Announcer) The Canadian professionals deserve it.

Good luck, guys. We've got nothing to lose now.

The main thing is to keep or dignity.

If we are to lose, we are losing with dignity.

How did you say?

It wasn't me, it was an order from Moscow.

Whose side are you on? You got rid

of Tarasov, now you want to get rid of us?

What are these insults?

Please, keep calm!

There's no morale in this team...

Do you have cigarettes?

Please go and have a smoke.

I do not smoke!

Goal!

Goal!

- We scored?

- Yes! Zimin.

Who scored?

At least it won't be a loss

without scoring a goal!

Mikhailov, Petrov, Kharlamov!

Cheer up! It's hockey!

Hold on, hold on!

Goal!

Yeah! Goal!

Guys, they're just like everybody else.

We can beat them.

There is a new order from Moscow.

They want a draw!

- Valera, Valera, don't!

- That's OK, I just need some water.

Ok, guys!

Please sit down!

(Announcer) Kharlamov crosses

the red line, goes forward...

(Announcer) enters the zone,

the Canadian player follows him...

The speed is insane!

Goal!

Kharlamov! Well done!

It's not for nothing

that he's got this surname!

You see, brother, what a

nephew you got? You should be proud!

It's my nephew! It's my nephew!

(Announcer) The teams took

the face-off positions.

This is crazy!

What the f*** is going on!

And that goddamn 17

does whatever he wants!

You'd better wake up, guys!

You are not playing hockey anymore,

this is war!

It's our ice, it's our home!

This is Canada.

Do something about that 17.

You understand me?

Now, let's get out there and do it!

Come on! Come on, guys!

Have a sit, Sasha, sit down!

- Come on, come on!

- To the room. No, don't make him sit.

Don't make him sit, follow me!

(Announcer) Just recently Valeri

Kharlamov recovered from a bad injury.

(Announcer) And what the Canadian

player now used...

(Announcer) cannot be even

called checking.

It is beyond all limits.

Was it for nothing that I stuck

your leg together piece by piece...

(Announcer) No, we do not like such hockey.

Stick it! It will hurt.

Bad bruise. No fracture.

But the knee can go to pieces

at any moment.

So do something about it.

Do you understand it can

be your last game?

So let it be the last one then.

And then I will just live.

I see.

Careful!

(Announcer) The Canadian fans

are giving a hand...

to our courageous player.

- So what you say?

- I don't know for how long he is going to last.

It doesn't hurt, Kharlamov!

Defend the cage! With all your body!

Defend it like you would

defend your children!

Like you would defend your

Motherland!

Goal! Goal!

Well done!

3:
5!

Keep it up, guys!

Liosha, hold the antenna!

- Gus, you OK!

- I'm fine.

I almost lost yet one more tooth.

That's not the bench, bro. Get out of here.

Give him a stick! Now!

How much time we have left?

(Announcer) Again on the ice

there is the famous 17 -

Valeri Kharlamov.

(Announcer) He crashes against a rival.

(Announcer) the Canadian checks him...

but Kharlamov does the same.

(Announcer) How good he is at possessing!

((Announcer) The Canadian

cannot do anything about it...

even thought he's much stronger.

Go, Valera, go!

Come on, come on!

Come on!

Goal!

Goal!

We win! We win, Chebarkul!

Victory!

Where's the key?

Hoorah! We win!

7:
3!

Go home, come on.

Go home!

My dear!

We got to celebrate this!

Yeah!

(Announcer) It is a great achievement

of our hockey.

(Announcer) 7:
3! It is an epic win, comrades!

(Announcer) I see the surprised Canadian

colleague.

(Announcer) Everybody tries

to understand if it is a miracle or magic.

(Announcer) It is not a miracle,

my friends.

(Announcer) It is an iron-strong

will to victory...

and a perfect grounding.

Victory! It's a victory!

We win!

We win! We win!

Guys, we did it!

We did it!

- Do you speak English?

- A little.

You know, I do not understand

how you do this.

These two goals...

They were awesome!

If I had your speed and talent...

An me your height and strength...

There any many more matches

ahead in the Super Series.

We'll even up.

- What did he tell you?

- He said we would never have won without Gus.

Really?

Hello? Anatoli Vladimirovich, we did it!

We won!

Better tell me where the hell the three

pucks delivered to our cage came from?
