Original Toronto Star caption: A tough loss: Guy Lafleur; left; and Wayne Gretzky; stars of the Canada Cup hockey series; have good reason to be unhappy as they talk over last night's stunning defeat by a powerhouse Soviet squad that pummelled them 8-1. U.S.S.R. goalie Vladislav Tretiak stole the glory from Team Canada's snipers at Montreal Forum and his teammates almost made off with the $70;000 trophy.
