Everyone knows that Japan is far from being a hockey country, and as practice shows, when major tournaments are held in non-hockey countries, the number of errors in the protocols increases. One of such episodes took place at the 1972 Olympics in Sapporo, when the entire stadium, including the match commentator, clearly saw that the puck was scored by Blinov (No. 9), but for some reason the Japanese announcer announced Zimin (No. 14), who was simply skating nearby, as the author of the puck.
