37 people lost their lives

So what does the above story have to do with this thread? Imagine if that happened today, 37 people dying in a fire in Montreal would dominate headlines for a week.
Except this tragic story happened September 1, 1972, the day before the opening game of the Canada/Russia series. The twists and turns and upcoming drama of the series hadn't even started and yet the very anticipation of the series stole the spotlight from this enormously tragic event.
