Thanks again for chiming in...this is a subject, that I know very little about...but was a big fan of the CCCP as a Hockey player growing up in the 70's...they were the BEST...
Hockey in Russia, is the equivalent of scorer in Brazil...good analogy...totally agree...back then, the Czech's were their closest competition...
It does make this Documentary very intriguing to me...
