On one hand, the Soviets did win most games.

Soviets also play a different style of Hockey, they played like a team, their passing & skating was incredible. They were about setting up an offense patiently passing until they had great shot. The NHL was more of a brawling & capitilizing on break aways and taking lots of shots.
Anyways, that is the I remember it as I was pretty young at the time.
