• [on the radio] 

  Caller : I'll tell ya, Stu. We're being taken.

  Stuart Gibbons : What do you mean "taken"?

  Caller : Well, they picked September, before the NHL season begins, 'cause they know our guys will be out of shape. They conned us into playing under international rules with amateur refs. I mean this is like a military operation to these guys. The players have been living in Montreal for weeks just to avoid jet lag. Team Canada is treating this like summer vacation. We're throwing a hundred years of hockey heritage down the drain. I'm tellin' ya, Stu. We'll let the Soviets take us for a ride here.
