Red Army movie

Post by bgbill »

I saw this film yesterday in Cleveland Heights. It's a very good documentary about the Soviet Army hockey team and how tough it was for the players.
I recommend it to anyone who has an interest in hockey. There is a flash of Ken Morrow in reference to the Olympics game at Lake Placid.

I also recommend the popcorn at Cedar Lee Theatre, as well as The Wrecking Crew, another documentary.

I looked for it online, but not there yet. Found this though:
CCCP HOCKEY- Soviet Hockey Documentary

"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

Tikhonov...(smh) Pulling Tretiak for Myshkin in the 80 Olympic game against USA was possibly the biggest "panic" move I've ever seen a coach make. Yeah coach...pulling the best goalie in the world...maybe of all time...will surely get your team to focus. the back up got beat 5 hole for the winner? Didn't see that coming... :)
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.
