FIRST TO FOURTH FOR TEAM CANADA
It was a case of all or nothing for the Canadian national team at this year’s Izvestia Cup tournament. And in the end, the Canadians came away with nothing. With a win over the heavily-favored Soviets Dec. 22 in the final game of the round-robin tournament, the Canadians would have won their second gold medal in three years. But an 8-0 loss gave Team Canada a 2-2-1 record and a fourth-place finish. The Soviets, with a 4-1-0 mark, won their second straight Izvestia crown. Czechoslovakia (3-1-1) won the silver and Finland (3-2-0) took the bronze. West Germany (1-3-1) finished fifth and Sweden (0-4-1) placed a disappointing sixth.

HAWKS, STARS FINED $25,000
BLACKHAWKS Five days after a Dec. 23 brawl in Toronto, the Hawks staged an ugly brawl with the North Stars during the pre-game skate Dec. 28 at Chicago Stadium. The NHL announced both teams would be assessed an automatic fine of $25,000. The incident remained under investigation, with the possibility of further penalties. The Hawks accused Minnesota’s Shane Churla and Basil McRae with instigating the altercation. “Both McRae and Churla came over the red line and were poking and jabbing our players with their sticks,” said Wayne Van Dorp, who fought Churla to begin the brawl. “Churla slashed me twice and kept telling me he wanted to fight.
