Totally. Trains with sleeping cars are pretty cool, actually. St.Petersburg is a beautiful city, architecturally. Compared to Moscow, it is quieter and more stately. Moscow City Centre is busy as hell, hectic, full of traffic in all directions at all times. People are, in general, nicer and more polite in St. Petersburg, as they regard it as Russia's cultural capital. Make sure to visit Hermitage Museum.

But be warned, St.Petersburg can be really miserable in winter - humid, cold, windy, slushy. Pack a warm scarf, mittens and hat; this is very different from Alberta dry cold.

Also, PM Pointman - he lives in Moscow, I believe. Perhaps, you guys can connect over there. It's always easier to get by and see the city with a local; especially, a Flames fan.
