The Canadians played,as a group, of individuals and possibly too much was ex- pected of'them to form a closely - knit unit in, just three weeks. ,On the other hand the Russians. have played together fear years. Canada got off to a fast start as Esposito tapped one behind Soviet goaltender Vladislav Tretiak at the :30 mark. Paul' Henderson followed with a goal ,four minutes later -as lie took a pass from Ron Ellis and Bobby --Clarke ' and drove a low, hard shot to • the far corner. Even though Canada was ahead 2-0, they weren't deserving ofthe lead. The Russians, a little ner- vous in this first encounter, made too many passes at times and ruined good scoring oppor- tunities. Ken Dryden was called upon to make no fewer than three key saves in the Canadian nets. When Eugeny Zemin scored for the Russians at 12:30 of ,the period, the Russians really caught fire.

The Canadians had to weather two penalties.. one to Park for cross- checking. the other to .Hender- son for tripping.
