The Russian Five - Fedorov, Larionov, Fetisov, Konstantinov, Kozlov
Пікірлер
Without the red machine, hockey would never have developed to another level. Larionov and and rest of the guys were artists with a big heart. Hats off and a big respect.

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

It was the only girl. I still wear my number 91 Jersey all the time. Absolutely love the Russian 5. Fedorov was like a jet plane on the ice. I liked playing like Probert. Can't play anymore but I still go up to the local hockey ranks to just watch I will sit there for hours.

@coreykmvy1980 Жыл 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.

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.

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 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'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.

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
They also lobbied successfully to put his name on the Cup that year.

I am 40 years old now I grew up in Michigan. My brother played hockey I grew up in a hockey ring since I was 2 years old. I started playing After the coach let me practice and ask me joined the team. It was the only girl. I still wear my number 91 Jersey all the time. Absolutely love the Russian 5. Fedorov was like a jet plane on the ice. I liked playing like Probert. Can't play anymore but I still go up to the local hockey ranks to just watch I will sit there for hours.
Viva mother Russia 🇷🇺
Sergei Fedorov is the best all around hockey player I’ve ever watched. The guy could play everywhere and he was a pure goal scorer. 90s hockey bred some of the most amazing talents in NHL history.
Not sure if he is the best ever, but I really love ultra skilled offensive players who are also physical & dedicated on defense & fore-checking. Ovechkin comes to mind!
Gordy howe was another great red wing
Larionov is still one of the greatest players in NHL history, he could do anything from defence to offense, his super underrated
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
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.
@@zenonelealainen3750well said, he’s one of my favorites and I really enjoyed watching him destroy other teams traps

It's hard not to cry, thinking of the Vladinator.
Yes, that was tragic what happened to him. He was a fantastic player who would have had a great career
It was so sad. I was in high school when it happened. I was devastated. Vlad was my favorite Wing after Stevie Y. He was amazing.
The greatest 5 man unit in the history of the NHL, imagine if we got Igor and Fetisov in their prime and Vlad didn't get injured. I mean seriously you got guys mid to late 30's toying with prime NHL'ers. That line in that era for 10 years, 5 Cups minimum. Nobody had seen anything like it
Nah....in their primes they win a minimum of 7 in 10...and in the other 3 ...something catastrophic would have happened
👏
Since we had to give up Kozlov to get Hasek, can you imagine if they could have kept them together long enough to get Datsyuk on the ice and if they did not lose Vlad. Talk about scary.
If it wasnt for sovjet they would never been that good but maybe more happy and pro player but not that insane good
But i understand how you mean
I'm not Russian and I'm not a Detroit fan, but that line... No words.

Living in Detroit area my whole life and being a hockey nut, I just loved the Russian 5. My list of favorite from top to bottom Konstantinov, Larionov, Fedorov, Fetisov and Kozlov
As a native Detroiter and Wings fan I remember these wonderful times. I also remember much of the hockey elite like Don Cherry scoffed at this style of hockey. I grew up with "the Dead things" so it was all the sweeter when the Wings became the best team in the game for a couple decades.
@@tomsampson8084 Lmao @ Cherry scoffing at the Russian style. Talk about arrogance, they made him eat his words.
There's just new and old school players there that made a difference.
Fedorov was a 100+ point man
Konstantinov was my favorite as well. I remember setting off fireworks in front of my house in Plymouth after we won the cup in '97. What a great team. We'll be back soon.
The greatest 5 man unit in the history of the NHL
Ура ура ура. Всех благодарю за добрые слова про этих людей.
The best hockey team ever played.
Well apart from the national team of the Soviet Union.
Loved watching these guys! Vlad "The Impaler" Konstantinov was probably my favorite for his open ice checking that earned him his nickname. It wasn't all just skilled puck movement with Vlad. Sadly that limo accident ended an amazing hockey career.

Beautiful words! I live in Detroit and also huge red wings fan ❤ i love the Russian five. Spasibo 🙏🏼

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.
I lived in Soviet Union in 70s and 80s. I loved Soviet national hockey team but my favorite goaltenders were Göran Högosta and then Pelle Lindbergh
And when Sweden broke their supremacy it was like Frodo when reaching that mountain and finally got to win at last. *Tomas Sandström*

I’m a lifelong Avalanche fan and Fedorov was a menace, great player. Miss the Avs vs Wings in the late 90s!
Me too Jaff. It was one of the greatest rivalries in all pro sports...It was personal.
You could have constructed a Hall of Fame wing using just the rosters of the Avalanche and Red Wings from 1996-2002. The talent that oozed out of both those teams during that stretch was as good as any two teams in any era before or since. Just phenomenal hockey whenever they played each other.
These five men helped save Detroit Hockey I’ll never forget these times.
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.
Этот Детройт шатал всех. Молодцы красная машина 👍. Эх Детройт моего детства и юности ✌️
If you want to see what Pure Chemistry looks like, you look at the Russian Five. That’s probably the purest chemistry I’ve seen from a line in the game of hockey.
I can always say I was and am a fan and was watching those boys. Loved the R5 and how they changed the game ✌🏻🏒
The best game on Earth
I would say on ice, but can't disagree with you.
Really, it was very great 👍👍👍 But it doesn't best in the world, I saw better))))
And yet the greatest Russian born player ever on the wings was Pavel Datsyuk
As a kid I always wanted to have Fedorov's hair and I'd cry any time a barber would cut it incorrectly.
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!"
Sergei Makarov would have fit perfect in there. He is/was my all time favourite hockey player!

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.... kzhead.info/sun/lsmPisdubIelmnA/bejne.html&ab_channel=MatthewMontreal. so, your opinion is a bit out of order.
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".
Well stated.
Barcelona got a great lessons from 5 big Russians and became a best club under Pep Guardiola...best hockey....best football
