I remember them, they became legends in the Swiss league later as well. Kamensky - Bykov - Khomutov line won the Olympics for us in 1992.

Kamensky wasn't there in 1992 though, I think Yuri Khmylyov played on their line in that tournament.

Ah, yes, my bad, forgot about this.

Khomutov was probably the craziest stickhandler, I've ever seen, and he was really small. I think, Johnny Hockey is the closest to him by playing style amongst modern players.

Incredible players. i'm watching game 2 of the Canada Cup 87. Bykov was probably the Soviets best forward in game 1.

One thing that stood out was the lack of right shooting d men . Canada had Murphy and Patrick,,Patrick was being used up front.

Russia had no right shooting d.
