Not only did the series come down to a decisive game, but you'll notice all major statistical categories are similar as well. The scoring leaders, goaltending statistics and specialty team statistics all resulted in accurate results in the replay as compared to the actual series.

1972 Summit Series.com gives this product a thumbs up. Other games I've seen Classic Hockey replay result in deadly accurate results as well - be it NHL, international or other major hockey leagues.

One of the neatest features is the ability to make dream matches. We can replay the 1988 Oilers vs. 1972 Bruins, or the 1956 Canadiens vs. the 2002 Red Wings.

Perhaps the best endorsement this product has gotten is from bookies. Such people are very interested in Classic Hockey because of the ability to replay games so accurately.
