Team USA went 3-2-1 and finished 4th.
They went 3-1-1 in the round robin.
Then were curb stomped by Team Sweden 9-2 in the semi final.
Team USA had previously beaten Team Sweden 7-1 in round robin play.
Head coach was "Badger" Bob Johnson.
One of my favorite Head coaches of all time.
Team Canada won the tournament sweeping Team Sweden 2 games to none in the Final.
The big matchup was Team Canada vs Soviet Union in the semi final.
Canada won that game 3-2 in OT on a shot from Paul Coffey which was deflected by Mike Bossy.
Soviets had previously beaten Team Canada 6-3 in round robin.
Team USA tied Team Canada 4-4 in round robin.
Team USA lost 2-1 to the Soviets also in round robin.
West Germany was in this tournament of 6 teams.
Czechoslovakia was too.
No Finland? 🙄
19 year old Dominik Hasek was Team Czechoslovakia starting goalie.
He wouldn't make his NHL debut until 1990 with Chicago.
