^^^ I do know about it. I'm a student of history and geo politics. A close relative played in the NHL at the time of the 87 series. I know all the lore.

I just think more current things are more relevant to today. I would argue every single point about the USSR and '72 is no more or less tumultuous than the current US president threatening to annex our country (and others) while they actively try to get one of our provinces to separate, and their whole system is being run by a bunch of pedo's and corrupt fools, and they intern and murder their own citizens. And it's all way more relevant because, you know, it's actually happening. And while you may have been afraid of USSR and communism, it ultimately didn't amount to anything but hurting the people within it.
