At move 4, I don't think 4. ... Nd7 would have hindered blacks development all that greatly as he's ready to play ... c5 striking back in the center. This isn't so different from the classical French 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. e5 Nfd7. The only difference is ... h6 instead of ... e6. Is that so bad?

yes in hindsight, after I wrote the comment, I saw that d7 wasn't so bad, but I do reproach the excessive movement of the 1 piece in the opening as it wastes time. That was my best weapon in this game : tempo!

I'd say that there is at least one other... 
(Where's the game, btw?)

sorry, it was there, then I made an edit - must have deleted it by accident - I'll repost
Hey all - just finished this most entertaining 3 min blitz game where sacrifices were thrown around like it's nobody's business!
Some nice tactics in this game - very useful patterns involved - both potentially educational and certainly entertaining - enjoy!
