Top Ten Greatest Russians in NHL History

I was literally thinking of making a best of Russian video myself , once the Cold War was over all the players from Russia 🇷🇺 came here

I would’ve had the 🇷🇺 🚀 a little higher but I’m biased he was my favorite player growing up as a kid. It’s crazy how most of these guys are from the early 90’s I saw them all play in person

Alex Kovalev in (Most NHL GP by Russian, One of the 1st 4 Russians engraved on Lord Stanley's Cup), Yashin out.

Maybe a nod to one of the greatest Blue-liners of all time, Slava Fetisov. A plus-114 rating in a 9 year NHL (2 Cups) career after 13 years w/CSKA, and being a catalyst for all the non-defection Russians to follow.

Fuck, you're a legend for these videos. Thank you!

I'd have Malkin a bit higher tbh

Pity that Fetisov didn't come over to the NHL until after he was 30. Add to his career his play in Russia from around age 24 to 30, and surely he'd have made the list.

You rank russian rocket 6 you suck should be top 3

Mother Russia breeds the best Hawkey-players. Solidarity from Norway!

I think this list is pretty spot on.
The only caveats I would add are:
Although, I think Federov is the 2nd Greatest Two Way Forward of All Time…
I think Peter Forsberg is #1.

I’d also have Datsyuk at #3.

And as far as the Greatest the Russian Players of All Time—I would add Ilya Kovalchuk.

Either way, great video.

As a Russian living in St. Louis, I think we might have the best Russian player: Vladimir Tarasenko. HE IS THE BEST



PERIOD.
