Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Russian Hockey fans are flooding Moscow with telegrams condemning the violence in Thursday's Canada-Russia game. What started out as relatively penalty-free hockey in series ended in mayhem on ice. Canadian players claim it is primarily frustration over inept officiating that is resulting in short fuses among their mates and Russians. High-sticking appears to go almost unchecked as shown in these pictures cabled from Moscow by Star photographer Frank Lennon. Canadian player at left appears to be high-hooking the Russian he's [Incomplete]
