mogilny broke his leg in the 1993 playoffs against montreal.
Yeah, it was terrible. Ew. Anyway, I was probably wrong to begin with. Fedorov beat him in the final of the fastest skater competition in 92. Mogilny wouldn't have made it to the final in 94 (it was Coffey who got smoked by Sergei).
The video of the final race used to be on YouTube; just not anymore, which is too bad, as it's quite possibly one of the most (if not the single most) breathtaking race. You can probably imagine Mogilny held his own.
Anyway, unlike Staniowski who saw them play as a bunch of teenagers, I always thought and felt Fedorov was faster. Other than that, yeah, Mogilny was very smooth and elegant and natural.
EDIT:
Confirmed:
43rd NHL All-Star Game
A photo finish. Mogilny lost by a hair. Somebody should put the video back up.
Here's the ugly moment that feels painful to watch:
It was actually the second fracture in twelve months and quite possibly the one that kinda broke his spirit and passion for the game.
