I liked it a lot. It was interesting to see how different in terms of their personalities the different players were. Some, like Fetisov, were not afraid to challenge the authorities, the others, like his partner Kasotonov, were loyal party men. Several interesting sub-stories, like that of Kharlamov, and his disappearance and untimely death.

BTW, it is TikhonoV.

The sub stories really do add depth to this movie.

I really liked that they went past the Cold War and showed as these guys flourished in the NHL. Tough to find a team today that does not have Russian players on it...

I was curious on your thoughts of Putin bringing Fetisov to run current Russian Hockey and retain players for the national team...it feels a little old school USSR like...but so does Putin, IMHO...

I was looking forward to seeing this and it exceeded my expectations.

Thanks for chiming in...

  Fetisov, in spite of all his previous problems with the authorities, remained a loyal Russian citizen, which is perfectly his right.
  
  Do you recall another famous defender - Ragulin? Three times Olympic champ, ten times - World.

    Fetisov has/had pickle jars for balls...and yes, he is a very loyal Russian...he did it after he made that American $bank$...his resume is unbelievable...
    
    I do not remember Ragulin. I looked him up and he retired in 1973 when I was 10. The CCCP lost to Canada in 1972, but won 1974...I remember the 74 games like it was yesterday...
    
    thanks
