Igor's choice, he did not want anymore money going to the Russian Hockey Federation, and the deal the Canucks had with Russia was as long as Igor remained a Canuck they would have to send money overseas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and his damned principles. A shame for us, but hard to blame the guy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now remember that bit, he didn't want the RHF getting anymore money from the team that took a chance on him. Man, what a talented hockey player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragar Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 The only time I went to a training camp session was when Krutov was there. Only thing I clearly remember was Craig Coxe loudly introducing him to the other wannabes (this session was for the second tier of players)... this is VLADIMIR! Was worth a chuckle at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I went to Igor's first camp as a Canuck, was a little bit worried at first. He would make passes to no one, but after a bit of thought I realized there should have been someone there. Guy was doing beautiful set ups to spring odd man rushes. Heck of a hockey player, and to all accounts a good guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met him years ago and he was as patient and down to Earth as they come when it came to fans and especially children. I've got nothing but the utmost respect for Larionov. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
