The fact Messier wasn't on the ice was a huge factor... Russians feared him..

@Shredboy1

Nice excuse... Who told you that they feared him?

Lol ur on crack right fuhr won 2 cups in a row with the oilers, and he was the best goaltender in the world. He outdueled billy smith 1-0 when smith and the islanders won 4 cups in a row in ny on the road in game 1 which probably is the greatest shutout in finals history.

Watch the other games fuhr had against the russians particularly game 2 in 1987 canada cup. Big game and the game on the line he was the go to guy. Igor Larionov once said in an interview he was the best goalie he ever faced

Don't exaggerrate silly...

In that 87 Canada Cup Fuhr gave up many bad goals against the Soviets, including a few from the blue line.

During the season this game was played, Fuhr was maybe considered more reliable than Moog since he played most of the playoff games, but not clearly better.

@raj2007ca watch game 2 if it wasnt for fuhr no way canada even makes it for a game 3. 45 saves game 2 vs a russian juggernault. Moog was a decent goalie but he was never elite. When fuhr was on his game he was the best goaltender world. He was clutch throughout his career. His last playoff series win with the blues was a game 7 1-0 shutout against pheonix coyotes. Thats clutch

That one great save everyone talks about in game 2 in 87 was more of Krutov messing it up if I remember correctly...

They were way ahead. Plyometrics, off ice stickhandling, powerskating. All the things we do now they were doing it since the 60'S. The fall of communism ouloud some of the best Soviet instructors to come to north america and introduce their secrets. Crosby attended Turcotte Stickhandling clinics inspired by russian trainings and was trained using russian style powerskating.Same with Stamkos Hall, Seguin etc etc. We will never give them the credit they deserve cause oi course we invented game

It"s a very funny game.

ДА ГРЕТЦКИ КАК ЩЕНОК ЗА ШАЙБОЙ БЕГАЛ)))СОВИЕТС КАК СЕРПОМ ПО ЯЙЦАМ НА СЛУХУ КАНАДЦЕВ)))

As I understanding right,Edmonton was 1985 Stanley Cup Winer.Here we can see,that Red Army(USSR champion)beat Oilers without any questions.

N.Americans talking that Canada is No 1,but according to this video I can see,that Soviets outshoot them 2 times(game result 6-3).It was done on a Canadian home ice.

Have a question:Who was best in the Universe?

[DEZERTlR]

@Shredboy1 Русские не боялись Мессье, потому как не знали кто это!

Макаров,Крутов,Ларионов,Быков,­Каменский, были намного лучше чем Мессье,Гретцки и таму подобные!!!

@Shredboy1

When did Kovin say that?

Just because Messier elbowed him...
