...Lisovski took the ice, their claim was clear to the legacy of Irina Rodnina and her two successive partners, Alexei Ulanov and Alexander Zaitsev, as well as that of Ljudmila and Oleg Protopopov.

Although the Huskies dominated both contests--outshooting B.U. 36-10 and B.C. 37-12--they faced exceptional netminders and remained content to limit their offense to unleashing slapshots from the point and hoping for a rebound...
