I for one am glad to see the Russian input and influence on this team - hopefully replacing the overly strong Swedish influence that this team has had for over a generation, which has gotten us nowhere.  Besides the above average talent and skill they bring to the team, most Russian players at least smile occasionally and have some form of human expression and don't carry a "scowl" on their face 24/7 which is a breath of fresh air.

I had no idea, apologies to anyone offended.

I havnt heard anything about him for years but remember the excitement in town when he and Larionov joined Bure here.

 

Yeah that was a move by management that didn't quite work out but it was still bold and brilliant and I respect it to this day.

 

Canucks really were ahead of the curve with that kind of stuff.  Ivan Hlinka back in the early 80s was quite an acquisition as well.
