After Tretiak was unable to score 2 goals during the initial period of the infamous “Miracle on Ice” game against The USA in the finals at the 1988 Winter Olympics, Tikhonov replaced Tretiak with Myshkin. He only faced two attacks in the second half and was able to stop both, but he did concede two shots in the 3rd period, scored from Americans Mark Johnson and Mike Eruzione.
