As an American and also a diehard Blackhawks fan, I have to say that it was a lot of fun yet frustrating to watch these guys play because they were so good. The Russian influence really made the game so much better. Much respect to them! I really miss watching them play.

My favourite Red Wings moment was in 1998 when they swept the Caps in a championship clinching game, the team brought on Konstantinov, who was on wheelchair with a permanent injury, then put the Cup on his lap, as a gesture of "bro you are not forgotten"....damn...i was touched

@coreykmvy1980 Жыл бұрын
If you watch the highlights of his three Stanley Cups with the Wings, you’ll see he was on the ice in the most crucial moments. Down a goal, protecting a lead etc. He was the straw that stirred the drink as they say
@zenonelealainen375011 ай бұрын
Totally agree. Larionov is by the way the third best playmaker in hockey history after Gretzky and Lemieux. Not an overly physical player, but a tough guy and a super hard working guy who went there into the boards to dig the puck against two opposing defenders who were both 20cm taller than him and he always got the puck. Datsyuk was very much like Larionov, but with better stickhandling and shot. I though still think that Larionov was a better playmaker because of his ability to open offense.

Perhaps true, but don't under rate what Scotty Bowman contributed to Detroit's success. Not only did he gather the Russian Five, but was smart enough to let them loose as a stand alone squad. But Bowman also found a way to take Stevie Y and turn him from just a points accumulating player into a team leader and true winner. Bowman also found the right talent to make what would be on other teams the 'goon squad' - the forth line bangers into a scoring and penalty killing power house.

The Russian (Soviet) 1st five have shifted over the decades. In the 70's, "The Big Red Machine" consisted of Valerij Charlamov, Boris Michajlov, Vladimir Petrov, Aleksandr Maltsev and Valerij Vasiljev. In my decade, the 80's, the team consisted of Vladimir Krutov, Igor Larionov, Sergej Makarov, Vjatjeslav Fetisov and Aleksej Kasatonov. And as goalkeeper of course Vladislav Tretiak. In connection with the World Cup 2008, the ice hockey team of the century was named: Vjatjeslav Fetisov (Sovjet), Börje Salming (Sweden), Valerij Charlamov (Sovjet), Sergej Makarov (Sovjet), Wayne Gretzky (Canada) and Vladislav Tretiak (Sovjet) as goalkeeper. 4 out of 6 is quite impressive.

The control, oh the control. It was hilarious, like they said in the video. They'd just keep passing...and passing....and passing until the shot was perfect. The way the Wings recruited back then was genius too. They didn't play the Penguins and Avs game and just buy talent. They knew they wouldn't get good draft picks, so they looked for those players far away, the ones like the 5, Osgood, Datsyuk, and Z and would play as a damn team. I saw an interview with Scotty Bowman, and he told Stevie Y " Hey, I don't need you scoring 60 goals a season, I need your whole line each scoring 30 a season". It was that kind of play and teamwork that fit with the way the 5 had been playing their entire lives. I miss watching the control. I watch the Wings now and just scream at the TV "Slow down! Own the damn puck!"

I remember at away games the crowds would chant USA, and that would just inspire the Russian five.

Even more impressive when you consider they played like that during a clutch and grab era, with no 2 line passing allowed! If you're a true hockey fan, you gotta appreciate the artistry.

I'm a die hard Boston Bruins fan. But for those couple of years I was following the Red Wings and the Russian 5 hard core! Not only can they play hockey and do many other things very well. But they are also a great people who have suffered so much hardships through out history and are still standing proud today. They have saved the world many times in the past, and here they are once again fighting against the same evil that threatens humanity yet again! And once again, they save humanity from evil! GOD BLESS America and Russia!

I just watched this about how the Bruins are perceived overseas.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZa5i5ZsarqinZo&ab_channel=MatthewMontreal. so, your opinion is a bit out of order.

As a Jackson, Michigan native watching the Wings in the 90’s are some awesome memories. Wings fans in those days were some of the most dedicated.

I’m so happy to have been around and old enough to remember these guys. I was just coming up through the junior hockey ranks and they were just so inspiring.

I was a 90s baby. One of my fondest memories is seeing Detroit. I saw a game at the Joe before they switched. That night will be a night I will never forget. Red Wing fan for life!

Those 5 men skated and thought as 1 person. They "felt" as one, they may ave had skated with 10 legs, but when those 5 players were on the ice..they were one

Это были не красные крылья, это были ЦСКА в НХЛ. Скоти Боумен великий тренер или менеджер... Кому как понятнее. Но после них случилось страшное. НХЛ заиграл в наш хоккей, а мы пытаемся играть в хоккей образца 80х НХЛ.

Это была стальная пятёрка. Тренер молодец, что соединил их вместе. Они понимали друг друга с полувзгляда, с полужеста. Этого было достаточно для взятия ворот. Тогда крылышки были на ходу.

Detroit forward Doug Brown should get an honorable mention here. After Konatantinov's accident they paired Brown with the other Russian players because he played a similar puck possession style and fit right in with them. He even got the honorary name Brownov here in Detroit.

December 1982, Red Army vs Edmonton Oilers , Gretzky and the boys versus all the Russian greats (except Tretiak, taking a rest )....the first game I watched in person... we didn't have the money but my Dad got my brother and i reasonable tickets at $16 each. Gretzky was on his way to scoring 200+ points that season. Couple steaks at Costco cost me $50 the other day....

I was 14 years old in 96 living in Perth Western Australia and got a good report card so I got to buy a game. I got NHL 96. I'd never seen a hockey game but played field hockey over here so I thought why not an ice hockey game. We only had 1 ice rink in town but that was miles away bit I did play some roller hockey. Picked the Red Wings as they had some of the best stats and here I am today watching hockey clips. It probably took another 7 or 8 years before I actually got to watch my first game of hockey but I've been a hockey fan ever since and have been made it Canada to watch a game. Fedorov is still my favourite player of all time but I never knew this back story about him and the others. Awesome video, cheers. Go Red Wings. Just thought I'd share👍

Though not born in the US, they never "took a knee" when the national anthem was played. Loved it when it was just sports and not "sports and politics".
