 Van Impe had skated directly from the penalty box to the CSKA player and the replay suggests he elbowed Kharlamov in the head.When officials did not call a penalty, the Red Army coach, Konstantin Loktev, pulled his team off the ice in protest.It is believed by some that Flyers' Chairman Ed Snider told CSKA to return to the ice and finish the game, which was being broadcast to an international audience, or the Soviet Hockey Federation would not get paid the fee to which they were entitled.
