Tretiak became internationally famous after his outstanding performance in the Summit Series in 1972, when he helped surprise the world, and more importantly, the Canadian team, en route to a narrow loss to the Canadians. A famous story told of how Canadian scouts seriously underestimated his ability prior to the Series; they witnessed him let in eight goals on a particular night, not knowing that he had been married the previous evening (and most of the team had been in attendance). Out of the entire Soviet roster, Canadian players and fans held Tretiak in the highest regard and respect and Tretiak was one of the most famous players of the Series along with Phil Esposito and Paul Henderson. As a result of Tretiak's stellar performance, many NHL teams wanted to draft him Montreal ultimately did, in 1983 and Tretiak was willing, but the move was blocked by the Soviet government.

Although never getting the chance to play in the NHL, Tretiak is a beloved goaltender around the world. He currently operates his own goaltending school's, while living in Russia with his family. Vladislav Tretiak was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1989.
