The tournament was marred by positive drug tests. Only the goal totals of the Americans were affected in the end. Their losses against the Czechoslovaks and the Canadians were ruled as shutouts because of Corey Millen's high testosterone levels. Canadian Randy Carlyle also came under suspicion, but his A and B samples did not match, and he was cleared of wrongdoing.[1][2] The Soviet team won all ten of their games.

At the end of the tournament, Soviet star Alexander Mogilny defected to the United States by getting on a plane with two Buffalo Sabres executives. The Sabres had drafted Mogilny the year before.[3] He joined the team and went on to score 1032 points in his NHL career.

gollark: Just passing `y/x` to `atan` to do `atan2` is wrong because it doesn't get the right quadrant.
gollark: And you missed atan2.
gollark: I think it's cool and good™. Also, the hyperbolic ones are wrong.
gollark: And maybe add some error correction code.
gollark: I would personally drop the alpha channel, run it through zstandard or something for bigger files, reduce it to maybe 2 bits per color channel, and add some reference areas so a scanner knows the maximum color.
