| | CNS: April 27, 2003: The rise and fall (and rise again?) of a Russian hockey powerhouse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | Vasily Viktorovich Tikhonov, who coached across Europe and for the San Jose Sharks in the NHL, now works for CSKA as an assistant to the head coach, his father, Viktor Tikhonov, the silver-haired, iron-fisted 72-year-old patriarch of Russian hockey. |
 | | "Tikhonov was really part of the Soviet machine -- he was stoic, he was evil and he was successful," said Stephen Warshaw, who once worked as the liaison between Pittsburgh Penguins and CSKA. |
 | | The elder Tikhonov's resume speaks for itself, though his methods certainly earned him the animosity of opponents and players alike. |
