Overall first impressions

I have read the entire article. It is quite long! It is nicely written and a good candidate for GA criteria, especially with the current WikiProject page assessments at B-class. Their are a few things to point out which will be noted at the level below this. --///EuroCarGT 01:24, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

The Missing

Should we mention something about the missing injured and WHA players that were not allowed to play?

The Missing

In 1997 The Hockey News compiled a list of hockey’s all-time greatest players. Three of the Hockey News top ten -- Bobby Orr, Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull -- were active at the time of the Summit Series. None played in it. Orr was listed on the roster but had just had knee surgery. Hull was named to the team by coach Harry Sinden but had committed the unpardonable sin of defecting to the upstart World Hockey Association. He was blackballed by tournament organizers, in spite of a direct plea from Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Hull and Howe, who had also gone to the new league, would get their chance two years later when the WHA staged its own version of the Summit Series. Lacking the same sort of supporting cast, the WHA all-stars were beaten soundly, 4-1-3 -- despite the presence of 1972 hero Paul Henderson, who had since joined the new league. Hull did prove himself against the Soviets, leading the series in scoring with seven goals. Howe scored three. Not bad, considering he was 46 years old at the time. [1]
