It was well known that members of the Soviet Union was sick with influenza.
Looks like the resident tankie has chimed in and that’s a big no on the link. Al Michaels interviewed Tretiak at the Olympics in Sochi asked him about the game and Tretiak said nothing about the flu. Seems like something he might mention when asked why he was pulled. The coach may have gone to the hospital the day before for flu but not the team.
And no ABC news did not spoil the game

Garbage.I was a freshman living in a college dorm and heard the results before the game aired.I believe it was someone who worked at the campus radio station who told me the results
They would have received the wire services report (AP/UPI) which goes worldwide.
No national broadcasts reported it, nor did my local newscast.
