 " I was stunned by their performance " was Sinden 's assessment . Former Montreal Canadiens ' coach Claude Ruel commented that the Soviets ' forwards were one of the most finely honed units he had ever seen . " They are always moving , never standing around , they head @-@ man the puck as well as anyone has ever done — and they always seem to be in the right place . " According to Canada 's goaltender Ken Dryden : " We didn 't play our game at all . After they tied it up , we started playing a panic type of game . Sometimes there were five men going for the puck at once . " At the end of the game , Team Canada accidentally snubbed the Soviets by returning to the dressing room directly without shaking hands with the Soviets after the game .
