Firsov's Deke

Anatoli Firsov (#11) seals the gold for Russia, scoring the fifth and final goal for Russia in the 5-0 drubbing of Canada at the 1968 Olympics. Before the goal, one can also admire Firsov's great burst of speed and hard slapshot on the first scoring chance.

@Evgeny161179  It"s just my opinion.

[Evgeny161179]

@quarktrue For your information, Vladimir Krutov played for our team much longer than Mogilny. From 1978 to 1991. The same goes for other great soviet players. Khomutov, for example. won three olympic golds and a lot of world championships. Is Khomutov worse than Mogilny??? I doubt it. These guys played for our country and they were more talented than Mogilny. I don't know why you admire him. He didn't care about team USSR. He cared about money and the NHL.

@quarktrue In 1988 we won only because we had a great soviet team! And in 1996 we lost with disgrace. Mogilny escaped from the USSR and after that all the best players started to leave Russia and we started losing!!!

@Evgeny161179 Mogilny was in USSR team in 1988 (Olympic gold) and in 1989 (World gold). In 1996 he was in Russia team at the World Cup.

@quarktrue Mogilny??? What the hell? What did he do for Russia? He played in the NHL for the most part. He shouldn't be on this list! When he played for Russia in the 1996, we lost to Canada and the USA. Do you remember that? We had much better players! For example, Krutov, Khomutov, Mikhailov, Larionov.

@before2after Bykov, Khomutov, Kamensky...There were many excellent forwards.

[quarktrue]

@before2after I had never seen Bobrov, but know about him. Не had absolutely dominated in the fifties of 20th century. Не had scored twice per a game at the average.

[before2after]

@quarktrue It’s very intelligently. Maybe it’s the best of qualification. But you and I had never see Bobrov and Fedotov. My rule is to be telling about I was see only. And … The second problem: Bykov-Drozdetszkiy-Homutov –absolutely SUPER players. And... NOW!!! To stop Canadians attacks. This is theme for winners. Not for losers.

@MaxWraith It"s my top 5 forwards in SSSR/Russia

1. Bobrov

2. Firsov

3. Kharlamov

4. Makarov

5. Mogilny
