"Those Reds accrued a domestic-visit '76 hockey record on ice of 26 wins, only 8 losses, and 2 ties with our proud North America ice-hockey (NHL) teams for what became something that would affect how both the Soviets and Americans trained future athletes on-ice for engagements between the USA and USSR (perhaps anticipation for 1980 Olympics glory). I was there, young, coaching a junior-team in the City of Brotherly Love. I'm Amlan Satan, an Algerian-Slovak Catholic immigrant/citizen of the American Homeland; and I felt ready to cheer the final contest between our proud Flyers team and the 'Red Army' team of the Soviet Union...on 1/11/76. This was great for social journals or TV (of the self)."

WIFE: I'm just an ice-clean girl, hubby.

ME: I know it...and I've these goosebumps now of the Reds downing our Flyers.

WIFE: They're dominating in this ground against all NHL teams, hubby.

ME: I know it...the Red Army team is well-trained and swift; they're touch.

WIFE: Pride's at stake, and the Flyers are Stanley Cup defending, hubby.

ME: I know it...and this potato dish you made shall comfort the demons of Hell.

JUNIOR ATHLETE: The Red Army blew-away the Rangers/Bruins, coach.

ME: I know it...and our Stanley Cup defending Flyers are the last stand too.

JUNIOR ATHLETE: Didn't someone on the Flyers have a goosebumps dream?

ME: I know it...he dreamt the Flyers would be down to the Soviets in this '76 game.

JUNIOR ATHLETE: Here came the Reds and dominated against all NHL teams, coach!

ME: I know it...only our '76 Flyers offer something of a chess-jardiniere (for records).

JUNIOR ATHLETE: Cool.

"Much was valued for this diplomacy-visit of icy Soviet athletes visiting the American Homeland for the 1/11 game (contest!) with our Philly-Flyers; and leaders and writers and fans and TV-audiences were taking-stock of varied contests between the USA and USSR, in outer-space, on Earth-ground, and in sports (wow). I began to wonder if someday, American football teams would be invited for special/cool Euro-exhibition games for TV-revenue image for leviathan/uncertainty. We had to win...and that's what I told my wife in Philadelphia."

"We did win. It was a real class fun. There was a moment of controversy, a near-penalty, but both the Red Army and our beloved Flyers showed grit and ambitiousness. We won 4-1, and it was terrific, a great chemical reaction to the Soviets simply dominating all our NHL teams. Our Flyers had the Stanley Cup pride in North America to honor...and they did (damn). It felt good to be a resident of Philadelphia, and I'm retelling that '76-tale in this time-capsule story I've made to bury in my new home-backyard in 1980 (wow). Future fans will find it and think about the radio-flyer quality of Earthling superstitions...for chess and Jabberwocky (sure)."
