He was also on the losing team in that 1980 Miracle on Ice game, and went on to be an assistant coach for 4 NHL teams.

Probably why Vlad picked him. Some combo of revenge for 1980 and a guy who should know the NHL quite intimately.

Somebody’s going to Siberia.

As long as it's not Ovechkin - the Caps need him back!

Did anyone see the late night Bob Costos interview with a blond and a guy in a FAIL spotted jacket? Who was that guy?

No, but I did see them interview 79 year old Vladimir Posner about their loss to the US.

I recall hearing an interview with the the head of the Russian Hockey Federation.

He said, "When I was growing up, there were three horror films I saw from the West; A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday The 13th and Miracle On Ice."

“It was kind of tainted as well, as the Russians should have been awarded that goal. Maybe the US comes back anyway, but we’ll never know.”

“Tainted” because the olympic officials actually complied with the rules? That’s ironic.
