The Edmonton Oilers very own 1st round draft pick Sam Gagner is leading the way in the slaughtering of the Russians with 4 goals and 10 points in 5 games played. He looks like a keeper to me.
This series is pretty one-sided, with the Canadians up 5 games to none so far in the 8 game series. After yesterday's display of rubbing-it-in-your-opponent's-face score of 8-1, I can't really see the Russians winning any of the remaining 3 games. That being said, does this little junior "Super Series" even matter than much? Sure, we get to see some of the finest young junior players in the country, but isn't that what the annual IIHF World Juniors tourney during the Christmas to New Years week is for? It's supposed to be the commemorating the 25th anniversary of the original Summit Series, but back then the Russians actually showed up and made it a series worth watching. Very few people are actually even giving a crap about this series. Hell, I haven't watched a game yet, just the hi-lites; and I'm only paying it that much attention due to Gagner; nothing more, nothing less.
