GAME 3

In Game Three the Canadians continued to check the Russian successfully until the end of the 2nd. With 5 minutes left in that period the Canadians held a 4-2 lead and were looking pretty good, but that's when the Russian coach threw in his "4th line" of Anisin, Bodunov and Lebedev. The kids scored two goals before the end of the period. Nobody scored in the third and the game finished as a 4-4 tie.
