My Take
Tretiak is simply one of the towering figures of hockey history, and I do not say that lightly. Stepping into the Soviet net as a teenager and stunning Canada in the 1972 Summit Series, he carried the weight of an entire Cold War era on his shoulders. Decorated with the Order of Lenin and later turning to politics, he transcended sport to become a national symbol. What awes me most is the composure of a young man asked to freeze the West before millions of eyes. As an inaugural IIHF Hall of Famer, he is unavoidable in any honest history of the game.
