Slava Fetisov and the Soviet Hockey Legacy

А по моему Фетисов был у момента создания Вада к этому причастен. И чем это обернулось для нашего спорта. Чиновник Хренов.

From 1975 to 1991, the clubs of the USSR played 108 matches with the teams of the National Hockey League. During this time, the Clubs of the USSR won 58 victories, 10 matches ended in a draw and lost 40 times to the representatives of the NHL.


The most successful team in NHL history is the Montreal Canadiens, with 24 Stanley Cups and 35 Finals appearances. The greatest number of times the winner of the USSR championship was CSKA Moscow - 32. Their meetings with each other:

12/31/1976 Montreal Canadiens - CSKA - 3: 3
12/31/1979 Montreal Canadiens - CSKA - 4: 2
12/31/1985 Montreal Canadiens - CSKA - 1:6
09/18/1990 CSKA - Montreal Canadiens - 3: 2

CSKA won here!

Also, CSKA is the record holder of the European Ice Hockey Cup, which won 20 titles, and from 1978 to 1990 did it 13 times in a row. Champions of European countries participated in the draws of this tournament.

Therefore, CSKA can be called the strongest team of all time!


Meetings of the owner of the Stanley Cup with the champion of the USSR, who became in the season in which the match took place:

12/29/1979 New York Islanders - CSKA - 2: 3
12/31/1985 Montreal Canadiens - CSKA - 1:6
01/12/1991 Pittsburgh Penguins - Dynamo (Moscow) - 3: 4


Meetings of the owner or finalist of the Stanley Cup with the champion or silver medalist of the USSR Championship, who became in the season in which the matches between them took place:

12/31/1976 Montreal Canadiens - CSKA - 3: 3
01/11/1976 Philadelphia Flyers - CSKA - 4: 1
12/29/1979 New York Islanders - CSKA - 2: 3
12/29/1985 Calgary Flames - Dynamo (Moscow) - 4: 3
12/31/1985 Montreal Canadiens - CSKA - 1:6
01/09/1990 Boston Bruins - Dynamo (Moscow) - 1: 3
09/13/1990 Spartak (Moscow) - Minnesota North Stars - 8: 3
01/12/1991 Pittsburgh Penguins - Dynamo (Moscow) - 3: 4

As can be seen from the results, the USSR clubs on the field turned out to be stronger than the NHL clubs.


Also, the symbolic team of the century included 4 players who played in the USSR championships and 2 players who played in the NHL. The six members of the symbolic team were chosen by voting organized by the IIHF. The selection committee included 56 hockey experts from 16 countries in Europe and North America.

Symbolic team of the century:

Goalkeeper: Vladislav Tretiak (USSR) - 30 votes.
Defender: Vyacheslav Fetisov (USSR) - 54 votes.
Defender: Börje Salming (Sweden) - 17 votes.
Wing: Valery Kharlamov (USSR) - 21 votes.
Wing: Sergei Makarov (USSR) - 18 votes.
Center forward: Wayne Gretzky (Canada) - 38 votes

In connection with the above, the USSR championship can be considered the strongest league in the world!

; BEYOND AMAZING; Merci!

Alvi is not a founder

I wish politics was run by sportsmen.

“Two years Super-League.”

👍remember gläntan slava?

I remember The 3 games in Leksand! I newer fortet them Leksand dont vin or loose !

👍

As a red wing fan I remember the golden times of the Russian 5 until the limousine accident that cruelly took him away! RIP konstinov I'll never forget your honey badger style of play.

Selective memory. It's normal in the Western part of the world. True dat

I love Russian hockey!

FETISOV. LARINOV. MAKAROV THREE OF MY HEROES...

Most beautiful hockey ever played, when bowman would put all five on the ice for a full 2 minute powerplay

The miracle on ice doesn’t even bother him one bit because he saw it as a life changing experience for him and didn’t see it at the time. He went from being force to play hockey for nothing but a Russian officer salary year round to playing for a lot of money and for the love of the game while being free waking up later during the day for a two hour practice or a morning skate eating at his favorite restaurants afterwards and traveling in style on the road. He loved every moment in the NHL and it changed his life forever along with some of the others. Even guys like Igor Larionov are now US citizens and stayed here in the US.

I wish they had won in Lake Placid.

best defender ever

Ok I don't know where he grew up but I was born in Odessa USSR in 1975 and we lived in a most basic apartment building, a 5 story Khruschev they were called, and we had freaking bathroom with running hot and cold water. Who da fuck didn't have a toilet? And he talks about Soviet propaganda? I've been living in the states since 1990 and everything the Soviet government said about the US turned out to be true. So Slava, while I admired you as a hockey player, as a patriot of your country you brother are shite

Anatoli Tarasov should be in the International Hockey Hall of Fame. He was the father of Russian hockey and their revolutionary style of play, only to be pushed aside by politicians for purely political reasons. WOW ! Nothing ever changes does it. PS. Don Cherry is still a clown and a hack!!!

My favourite when being a kid. Spasibo!

Papa Bear

“We never took any players as our enemies. We just took them as the team we need to beat” if that doesn’t say anything about sportsmanship in hockey... I don’t know what will. (They weren’t trying to be political... they were trying to be champions)

Having been to Ukraine a few times, what Slava said was true. The politicians talked hate and division. The people, not so much. We expect them to feel the way we did towards them. The evil empire. I won't address that but the soviet people didn't look at it that way.

I know about the history, but since this interview, Fetisov hired Kasatonov to be the head coach. There is a pic of them two in an exhibition hockey game and they are smiling with arms around each other. So, with that said, somebody should do an interview with four the the remaining five members of the Green Unit, together! Or, if there is already a video, post it!

I could sit and listen to this legend talk for hours! Canada is the greatest don't get me wrong, but how these ruskies revolutionized a technical approach is staggering to say the least...

Somethings tells me this interview would have been a lot more interesting to hear unedited.

They kicked the S@it out of Sweden in 1981. Result 13-1!

As a Flyers fan, Fetisov's last quote puts a little dagger that was already in there from 97 and turns it just a little bit.

Bobby Orr, Nick Lidstrom, Slava Fetisov. Top 3 all time.

Гавно со льдом ваш Фетисов.

Ты думаешь не кто не видел как ты прятался за спину Константинова в "Детроеде"?

Тебя СССР научила играть в хоккей.Зачем гадить .?

Слава не плюй в страну которая тебя воспитала

What a documentary... very inspirational

я,как и многие у нас, считаю фетисова предателем

JR I need your help, my show life is a corridor .
,

Slava Fetisov, Vladmir Konstantinov, Sergei Federov, Igor Larianov and Slava Kozlov are adored here in Michigan and by all Detroit Red Wing fans. It was beautiful. We loved them and never thought of them as Russians. We thought of them as our Red Wings and Americans who just happened to come from Russia.

Best players ever !!! (sweden)

This team that the Americans beat was the best .. they beat a group of NHL Allstars including a young Gretzky and 13 other hall of famers and coached by Scotty Bowman by 10 Goals in an exhibition before the olympics 11-1

So glad that he gave credit to his original coach Anatoly Tarasov who basically trained all the elite Russian hockey players back then... one of my favorite players from Russia never got to play in the NHL but was a goalie coach Vladislav Tretiak probably one of the best goalies EVER... still honored by some of the NHL'ers today by wearing his number 20

great personality! I have alwys as aplayer been very impressed by him! A real leader in its best meaning!

Слава, ну хули ты пиздишь про бараки? Бараки это хрущи?

One hell of a hockey player right there.

You see, Libs?? They’re not monsters

Those Russians are great!
