 During the two @-@ week hiatus between games four and five , the Canadians visited Sweden and played two exhibition games versus the Swedish national team . The Team Canada management had arranged for the visit to Sweden to get used to the bigger ice surfaces in Europe , and stopping in Sweden would provide some rest for Team Canada before resuming the series in Moscow . The games took place on September 16 and September 17 at the Johanneshovs Isstadion arena in Stockholm . Canada won game one 4 – 1 ; the second game was a 4 – 4 tie . The first exhibition game introduced Canada to the two West German referees , Josef Kompalla and Franz Baader . These two referees would figure prominently in games six and eight of the Canada @-@ Russia series .
