2007 Super Series

According to the paper, Fradkov called upon Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper to support consideration for another Summit Series.

Russia: 0 W - 7 L - 1 T Canada: 7 W - 0 L - 1 T The Russians got off to a flying start, as the Canadians seemed sluggish to begin the series, turning the puck over in the neutral zone many times early in the first period.

Alexander Ryabev made the game 2–0 with a power play goal three minutes and 13 seconds later, on a shot that could have been easily stopped by Canadian goalie Steve Mason.

Canada's Stefan Legein replied at 15:47 to make it 2–1 Russia with a slap shot right through the wickets of Russian goaltender Semyon Varlamov.

They made it 4–2 with 1:10 left in the period when Gagner scored after making a great play behind the net to bring it out front and slide it through the Russian goalie.

Also contributing to the win was the solid play of Mason, who bounced back from giving up two early goals and finished the game with a total of 40 saves.

Canada was the home team in game two, allowing coach Brent Sutter to make the last change and get the line match-ups he wanted.

On a Canadian power play later in the first period, Kyle Turris finished off a give-and-go with David Perron with a nifty backhand upstairs into the Russian goal.

They smothered Cherepanov all game long, and also chipped in with a goal by Legein in the final minute of the second, one-timing a pass from Sutter.

With 2:01 left, David Perron scored a terrific goal, as he dangled the Russian defender, then using a spin move and backhanding the puck through his legs into the net.

Facing a 3–0 deficit in the third period, Russia scored two quick goals in 36 seconds to open the final frame, cutting the lead down to one.
