Very fun!

On question 5's answers, I'd put a "West", or even an "East", in front of "Germany. They hadn't yet reunified.

Speaking of which, two games before playing Russia in 1980, the US hockey team did beat West Germany. However, in the movie "Miracle", the scoreboard is depicted as showing USA vs. DDR. But DDR was the Olympic abbreviation for East, not West Germany!
