Just browsing over some pics and 15 looks like he was a truly skilled power forward, one that could glide but had brakes, and knew how to use his hands.
I’m guessing he wasn’t easy to bounce off the puck either. - Dozzer
He is very tall guy, probably tallest on this team and he looked a bit akward.
But was very effective player and Canada's players appreciated his skills after series were over.
But #17 was the greatest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B83hzBVupXI

His speed is crazy obvious, especially in that second link. He flew by everyone. - Dozzer
From Globe and Mail:
Even 33 years later, Bob Clarke's two-handed slash that cracked an ankle of Russian superstar Valeri Kharlamov in the sixth game of the Summit Series rankles Yakushev.
"That moment should be on Bobby Clarke's conscience," Yakushev said yesterday at the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Reached in Philadelphia, Clarke declined to comment.

Probably the most disgusting moment in hockey history

It was a brutally dirty slash, according to John Ferguson Sr. (assistant coach) he allegedly told Bobby to break Kharlamov's ankle.

Oh that was ugly, I’ve seen it plenty of times.
Some things can never be spoken about without embarrassment showing.
We never saw the moments like Mihailov throws the puck into the crowd, maybe something else, but I was watching the games live and knowing, how game was played in Soviets then, I am pretty sure they played it cleanly. Maybe some retaliation started to take place down the series, but I don't remember all details, I was 15 years old then. I remember the Soviet play by play commentator said during the game against Philly: "Such hockey we don't need"

I've been watching hockey for many years, and have seen many dirty plays. That series was filled with many dirty plays, on both sides. The slash was awful, but the kicking with skates was next level.
The only thing that was uglier, was when Wayne Maki got into a stick swinging fight in 1969 (pre hockey helmet era). Maki connected with Terrible Ted Green and fractured his skull badly. On the fourth photo below you can see the result.

Some time ago I bought DVDs with all games from 1972, but never watched it.
I started, but could not last more than 5 minutes and never tried it since.
Could not watch CBC TV series either exactly like Soviet ones, both were pure propaganda and not worth to mention.
Don't want to rummage in history too much. Whatever happened stays there.
Watching Soviet hockey for 20 years and never seen a single fight during this time.
It means something. It was very different school of how game is played.
