Still wondering why he pulled Tretiak in that game against the States at the Lake Placid Olympics.

RIP Coach.

Tretiak said after the first, he walked in, pointed at Tretiak and said "You are playing poorly." And that was it.

No other explanation ever came as far as I know...

seems a shame he's often primarily remembered for that

3 Olympic Gold medals
8 World Championship Gold medals
13 straight league championships with CSKA
IIHF Hall of Famer




I can see remembering Crawford solely for leaving 99 on the bench in Nagano, however

Putting the accolades aside, he probably could be called "the principle mastermind" of this modern day infatuation with "puck possession".

No doubt he was successful and I'm not trying to dance on the man's grave, but what price did other people have to pay for Tikhonov's success? I haven't seen Red Army (2014) - IMDb yet, but Slava Fetisov would have first hand knowledge of some of the stuff the Red Army players had to endure.
