- The opening ceremony was nice, with six members of the original Summit Series.
- Tretiak got the biggest cheer.
- Russia's first powerplay was a tale of two teams. The first minute consist of them setting up and passing it around trying to make something happen. The second minute it seemed like Canada was basically the one with the extra man.
- The moments before Russia's first goal was entertaining, as both teams had multiple up-ice rushes.
- Russia's second goal was kind of questionable from in the arena. It looked like it just hit the post (no overhead replay was shown).
- The weirdest penalty of all happened in the third period: 2 minutes for a faceoff violation.
- Got to feel kind of bad for Tom Wilson, when he wasn't committing a penalty he was serving one.
Tiebreaker: Canada 1 - Russia 0
- Nice to know that there was a 20 minute period before a shootout could happen. Plenty of time to avoid it.
- Most of the overtime went like this: Canada enters zone, shoots, Russia clears. Rinse and repeat.
- Stomre had a nice shot from inside the faceoff circle to to win hte game for Canada.
- Yakupov with a touching moment after the handshake line. He skated around with a Lokomotiv Yaroslavl flag.
