1972 Summit Series.
Team Canada - Team Sweden. September 17, 1972. Hovet
arena in Stockholm.


En route to their 4 games in Moscow, Canada stopped for 2
exhibition games in Stockholm, Sweden against a Swedish National
team. The idea was that Canada would play the two games in order to
get used to the bigger ice surface before facing the Soviets in
Moscow.
This is the second game, which included an outburst from both
teams, which resulted in Wayne Cashman getting his tongue cut open,
requiring nearly 50 stitches and forcing him to miss the rest of
the Summit Series, although he stayed with the team.
Team Canada was heavily criticized by the Swedes for its
"criminal"-style play during the two games. Even the Canadian
ambassador was critical of Team Canada's play. The games in Sweden,
however, helped bring Canada together as a team and focused them
for the final four games.

Ken Dryden, Ed Johnston, Pat Stapleton, Jocelyn Guevremont,
Wayne Cashman, Phil Esposito, Jean-Paul Parise, Dale Tallon, Brad
