	ESPN Classic - Fetisov's iron will matched his iron defense
		Fetisov grew within the greatest hockey machine in the history of the world until he became the most important piece of that machine.

		Fetisov might have played in a restrictive system under a tyrant of a coach in Viktor Tikhonov, but he also played on what he believed was the greatest hockey team ever.

	Viacheslav Fetisov
		Tecnicamente, Fetisov era non solo dotato di una grandissima mobilità e di un incredibile senso della posizione, che gli permettevano di proteggere il proprio portiere in maniera perfetta, ma anche di grande intelligenza ed istinto hockeistico, con cui creava delle splendide occasioni da rete per i propri compagni di squadra.
		Grandi protagonisti nel trionfo di Detroit furono i celeberrimi Russian Five (Viacheslav Fetisov e Vladimir Konstantinov in difesa, Slava Kozlov, Igor Larionov e Sergei Fedorov in attacco), che formarono la prima linea completamente russa nella storia della NHL.
		Fetisov aveva coronato il proprio sogno e poteva finalmente leggere il proprio nome inciso sul mitico trofeo; inoltre assieme al suo compagno Igor Larionov aveva realizzato un poker di vittorie assolutamente strepitoso: titolo mondiale, medaglia d'oro alle Olimpiadi, Canada Cup e Stanley Cup, cui si devono aggiungere i successi con la nazionale Under 20.

		While Fetisov and Kasatonov have displayed an ability to team up on the ice once again, there's obviously no love lost between them when they are seen up close and personal.

		Fetisov, meanwhile, was the ring-leader of a circle of players last year on the national team and Red Army club team that contested Tikhonov's authority and his rigid training methods.
