The tournament
The event featured a number of future Hall of Fame-caliber players. Doug Weight led the tournament in scoring, with Canada s Eric Lindros and the Soviet Union s Pavel Bure trailing the American.
Canada took care of Switzerland in the tourney s first game, winning 6-0. Things started to look bleak for their gold medal hopes when they tied the U.S. 4-4 in their second matchup, putting them a point behind the Soviets.
Canada continued on, beating Norway, Sweden, and Finland before dropping their first contest against Czechoslovakia. With a 4-1-1 record and just one game left to play against the then-undefeated Soviets, Canada needed a miracle to secure gold.
