It's amazing that the Russians don't do better in international hockey. Incredible offensive skills. But they seems to be missing the teamwork of the USSR days. I got to watch Larionov and Makarov play together for the Sharks back in the early 90's. Haven't seen passing like that since the Messier-Gretzky-Kurri line. Actually they were better than that line, they just didn't have a left winger of Messier's caliber.
Also Valeri Kamensky scored a better goal than that circa 1996. Searching for videos...
