I know nothing on the subject, but I would think the break would have to be pretty devastating I seem to recall a Sabre who broke an ankle and had lasting effects, but I don’t have a name. I am old and feeble so I may be all wet here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BagBoy Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 1972 Summit Series: Canada vs. USSR. Bobby Clarke intentionally slashes Valeri Kharlamov in the ankle with total intent to injure, and he succeeded. Broken ankle for Kharlamov (arguably the greatest player on the planet at the time). Kharlamov had been wreaking havoc for the first 5 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BagBoy Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) LOL. As much as I hated the "first" Bobby Clarke, I loved him in a Team Canada jersey. Different story when he was wearing a Philly jersey. Kinda like with #63. Edit: I gotta say, that series was a war. There were political connotations out the wazoo. The 4 games the Canadians played in the USSR, they were harassed from minute one. 3am phone calls, disappearing supplies (beer, beef and cereal, etc.), bugged hotel rooms, commie refs, you name it. Part of me thinks Kharlamov was lucky they only sent Clarke after his ankle and not his neck. Edited June 5, 2021 by BagBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashsabre Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Power had a bit of a rough 2nd period with a misread in the defensive zone and overskating a puck early. So what does Gallant do? Double shift the kid for the 3rd period including playing the final minute up by a goal. The kid is so poised with the puck. Always makes the right pass. He is going to be a really good player. A guy you play 25 minutes a night and in all critical moments.
