 A good start for Team Sweden's coach Curt Lundmark in his first game as head
 coach. This was not the best Team Russia we've seen but like Curt says
 there's never a bad Team Russia.

 Team Russia had just arrived from Stuttgart, Germany where they won Deutschland
 Cup, beating Canada, Czechoslovakia and Germany in 3 games on 3 days. Due to 
 Russia's economy, Team Russia is on a bus tour through Europe. This was
 probably the reason for their poor performance in the first period.

 Sweden's goaltender, Ridderwall, had a good game. The third line (Forsberg,
 Renberg, Viktorsson) was probably Team Sweden's best but the first line
 with Naslund, Rundqvist, Larsson also deserves praise. Among the defenders
 Stillman and Jonsson impressed me but Christer Olsson also had a good first
 game in the Tre Kronor jersey.

 In team Russia, Roman Oksiuta, Alexander Cherbaiev and Pavel Torgaiev
 played well. Noticeable is that Torgaiev plays for TPS Turku's farm team
 (He can't make the team due to that TPS have 2 other foreigners that's
 better).
 
 2. Sergei Selianin was injured (broken jaw) in the first period in a
 collision with Kenneth Kennholt.
