In an 8 game series marking the 35th anniversary of the famed 1972 Canada-USSR Summit Series, Canadian juniors finished destroying the Russians with a 6-1 victory on the weekend to finish the Super Series with a 7-0-1 record. ''We just wanted to win the series so bad and honour the '72 guys that won,'' said Legein, who plays for Mississauga of the OHL and is a 2007 draft pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets. ''That's how we played out there. We weren't going to let them beat us in any aspect. We were down a couple of times (2-0 in both the first game and in a 4-4 tie Friday in Red Deer) so I think it was just our heart that made the difference.''Unlike the original series which was close and competitive, this one lacked heart, passion and enthusiasm from the Russians. Just like a night in the sack with Maria Sharapova.
