Phil Esposito Anecdote...

Esposito was one of the North American ice-hockey players who went to Moscow to play the Soviet team in the early 1970s. Assigned to a hotel room, they suspected that it might be bugged. Esposito recalls, "We searched the room for microphones. In the center of the room, we found a funny-looking, round piece of metal imbedded in the floor, under the rug. We figured we had found the bug. We dug it out of the floor. And we heard a crash beneath us. We had released the anchor to the chandelier in the ceiling below."
