The Swedish annual doesn't mention any spearing but Stig Salming was indeed a bad guy so I wouldn't be surprised. In the 1976 World Championships, Salming was...

Some additional data points: Gilbert played on a line with Guy Charron and Walt McKechnie. Not exactly Hadfield and Ratelle. In his only game of the...

IIRC the announcement of Canada's participation at the 1977 Worlds was finalized during the Innsbruck 1976 Winter Olympics. I think it was CTV who was doing...
