This really puts the 'Red' in Red Wings, eh comrades?!?

The Detroit Red Wings assembled their famous Russian Five line consisting of Sergei Fedorov, Igor Larionov, Slava Kozlov, Vladimir Konstantinov and Viacheslav Fetisov. It marked the first time in NHL history that a team used five Russian players on the ice at the same time. The group accounted for two goals (Kozlov and Larionov) in a 3-0 win against the Calgary Flames.

Man, no wonder the Flames didn't get a sniff, that was one talented group of players.

Amen, Dash....especially with Vlad the Impaler leading the way....I still can't believe what happened to him...what a shame...one of the true greats...

I remember that. I also remember that after a week or two Keith Primeau was concerned about playing time had the equipment guy change the name on the jersey he wore in a pre-game skate to Primeaurov.

Only time I've ever been even slightly amused by the big lug.
