Oh, yeah, the other massive thing that I stupidly left out is that Tikhonov pulled Tretiak in the first freaking period. Massive mistake and colossal failure. Perhaps the biggest reason the US won that game.
He also didn't pull the goalie in the final minutes even when they were getting heavy pressure 5 on 5 at the end. An extra attacker with the pressure they were getting, who knows what could have happened. But the Soviets had never been in that situation before. Didn't even practice 6 on 5.
