my thoughts on every player on the 1980 soviet roster (october 2021)

Yep.

Under the cut is me going feral and only @hockeychaos knowing what the fuck i’m talking about KSDFGSHDFGSDB this also includes the nicknames we call some of them.

1. Vladimir Myshkin - Thot Energy. this man is a smol THOT and we have the PHOTO EVIDENCE but he is also such an adorable smol goalie (would defo ruffle his hair uwu) and HE DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER THAN TO BE KNOWN AS ‘TRETIAK’S BACKUP’, VLADIMIR IS HIS OWN PERSON FFS. probably my fav goalie, he’s a bean!!!! also he and Vasily (below) are Big OTP.

2. Viacheslav Fetisov (Slava) - So Iconic, he deserves the whole entire world. but I will forever be salty that he now supports THAT OLD COOT WHO P MUCH RULES RUSSIA NOW. YOU’RE BETTER THAN THAT, SLAVA, YOU KNOW IT. anyways, stan the (future as of 1980) papa bear, Brendan Shanahan Was Right.

5. Vasily Pervukhin - this mans is a grump in 90% of pictures he’s in but?? he also has such friend shaped energy??? so that’s his personality to me. he hates cameras but otherwise he is such a lovely friend. 555/5 would hug him. he and Vladimir 1) are BIG OTP, 2) are absolute BOYFRIENDS and later HUSBANDS in my ‘verse, 3) deserve so much better than to be remembered just for the Miracle.

6. Valeri Vasiliev (Lerik) - MY FAVORITE. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS and THICC, ABSOLUTELY LOVELY. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. yea, in the past year I went to not really knowing about him to simping for him 25/8. and yearning for him, I admit this. he is such a soft mans (and a Big Thot, have yall SEEN his bodychecking???). Lerik and Yuri (below) are Such An OTP but add my self insert and it’s even better as a triad, and have together stolen my uwus. STREAM BECAUSE BY DREAMCATCHER SINCE??? VIBES FOR LERIK MY BELOVED I WILL FOREVER BE SAD ABOUT HIM /pos

7. Alexei Kasatonov - HIMBO ALERT HIMBO ALERT HIMBO ALERT. he looks like the kind of guy who MEDDLES and will give you SHIT the moment you have a crush, but in a good way. and also a THOT which Mandy and I can vvvv attest to. tldr: his energy is annoying, but good annoying.

9. Vladimir Krutov (Vova) - cinnamon unit!!!!!! he may have been A Menace on the ice but I’ve read that off the ice???? he was???? such a sweet dude??? and just looking at him he has Wholesome Little Brøther Energy. Vladislav wanted to protecc this cinnamon roll with all his heart and tbh? he’s RIGHT

10. Alexander Maltsev (Sasha) - Everyone’s Uncle!!!!! Has 1000% Soft Uncle Vibes, Enough Said. I feel kind of bad that in my fics he’s stuck being Dynamo’s lone franchise player from ‘78 onwards but he’ll be alright, he has a baby winger to train. he is So Proud Of Her. also he and his wife looked adorable together.

11. Yuri Lebedev - BELOVED LITTLE SNOWDROP. I cannot escape this man and tbh, I’m glad he kept catching up with me in my subconscious/vibe checks since he is So Adorable and So Soft and has Such Kind And Gentle Vibes. I would vvv like many cuddles and kisses and soft words from him. he and Lerik (above) are probs my Favorite Hockey Ship excluding my OCs but it’s even better as a triad when I add in my self insert.

12. Sergei Starikov (Seriy) - lowkey shy energy, highkey soft energy. he seems like he’d be a bit shy at first but would also give such good hugs. in my fics he’s in the (sorta unspoken) Book Club Trio who are all p much BFFs and just have each other’s backs no matter what and it’s So Soft. also, I read somewhere that he loved dumplings so SERIY IS MY SWEET LITTLE DUMPLING.

13. Boris Mikhailov - TIRED DAD!!!!!!!! BUT GOOD DAD!!!!!!! I SWEAR this man has a resting tired dad face (which Miracle (2004) GOT WRONG, HE DOES NOT HAVE A MF RESTING SMUG FACE) and yeah he has to deal with everyone’s shenanigans and Accept A Lot Of Things so he deserves to have a nap and some cuddles already. but we stan a great captain. stop making him talk about the Miracle.

14. Zinetula Bilyaletdinov - seems really cool! if memory serves me correctly I remember reading he was kind of a secretive person so who knows what cool tales he could tell us about? there’s gotta be something to be BFFs with Big Z over.

16. Vladimir Petrov (Vladik) - OG CHAOS MANSSSSSS!!!!!! at least in my ‘verse, he is So Chaotic and is always Up To Something. or yearning. OR BOTH, WHY NOT, BOTH IS GOOD. at the same time he seems so soft nnnnn and in a lot of pictures his expression is So Gentle and So Tender so yes he may be plotting the next chaos run but he is also yearning for his equally chaotic husbands (again, in my ‘verse) who he is So Soft For and misses So Much during the Miracle ordeal, THEY DESERVE EACH OTHER PERIODT.

17. Valeri Kharlamov (Valia) - TEAM COUNSELOR. HE IS VERY SOFT I DON’T CARE WHAT THOSE ‘EPIC’ TRIBUTE VIDEOS TRY TO PAINT HIM AS. somehow I??? got the vibes right for him??? since I guessed he was so gentle and so kind and loved to be outside in nature and I was right????? there are so many pictures of him out there which is Such A Blessing and I am very sad about him /pos, HE LIVES IN MY ‘VERSE SINCE HE DESERVES IT. AND SO MUCH. side note, Valia could make friends with anyone which I LOVE but in my ‘verse he has an extra soft spot for the book club uwu

19. Helmuts Balderis - Mustache Man 1, I don’t know/write much about him but from what I read about him and how he Up And Refused to go into the military he seems iconic. also, sorry Helmuts but, aforementioned baby winger (yes, an OC) is going to be faster than you òwó

20. Vladislav Tretiak - SOFT GOALIE AND BEST GOALIE OUR BELOVED!!!!! I don’t care what the Miracle does to his reputation, he was SUCH AN ICONIC GOALIE and it was so so so so sad how he retired so early since TIKHONOV WAS A DICK TO LIKE EVERYONE. anyways. Vladislav was also such a good friend to like anyone and I LOVE THAT FOR HIM, he has The Best Energy.

22. Viktor Zhluktov - Mustache Man 2, has stache game but I don’t know/write much about him.

23. Alexander Golikov (Sanya) - wholesome big brother NO CAP!!!!! his brows may be Menacing /lh but do not let that fool you, other than that he has such good brøther energy and, he and Volodya (below) seem like they’d be close and IT’S SO ADORABLE THAT THEIR NUMBERS WERE MOSTLY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. BUT I AM VERY SAD THAT IRL THEY DIDN’T FIGHT TO PLAY TOGETHER. also Sanya was captain of Dynamo for a season and that’s???? so iconic???? and in my ‘verse he will also protecc Seriy (and Valia) in the Book Club Trio uwu

24. Sergey Makarov - ULTIMATE SOFT GRUMP!!!! has outwardly grumpy energy, and was apparently So Stubborn which VIBES, but is also Very Soft especially for his kid(s) which is apparent in a bunch of photos. someone give this man and said kids a hug. they probably need it. (I spelled his first name differently on purpose, it’s to differentiate from another Sergei, a certain Red Wings gremlin.)

25. Vladimir Golikov (Volodya) - Cryptid Bean. he looks like a mf CRYPTID in the very few non-team-picture photos of him and I’m guessing he does Not Like Cameras or the media in general which is VALID. also has shy energy but also soft energy when he trusts you. I love the thought of him and Sanya being close to each other, especially of Sanya being protective of Volodya, and Volodya CANONICALLY FOLLOWED SANYA TO WHICHEVER TEAM HE PLAYED FOR WHICH IS SO SOFT??????

26. Alexander Skvortsov - he seems p nice, and sometimes looked a lot like Slava, but I don’t know/write much about him.

= BONUS - PLAYERS CUT IN FEBRUARY 1980 =

3. Vladimir Lutchenko - two words: CHAOS THOT. this man has a resting thot face and y’all can’t convince me otherwise. what is he thinking about (in my ‘verse)? probably plotting the next chaos plan, or Getting Ready To Thot Around. who is he looking at? OF COURSE at Vladik (above) and also at Alexander Gusev aka Goose since, in my ‘verse, they’re all married and would do a n y t h i n g for each other.

4. Sergei Babinov - I don’t know/write much about him either (insert shrug face)

OVERALL THOUGHTS - This roster first got me into Soviet hockey for real, and I do have to give credit to the Miracle for introducing me to it and inaverdently luring me down the rabbit hole. They were Such A Lovely Roster and deserved So Much More than what they got, some of these men missed their chance at their own Olympic gold because of it and?? that’s v sad in general??? To this day this roster is still my favorite of all time, since most of my fav players were on it. The above comments/vibe checks of them have come from almost a year of developing my Soviet hockey fic ‘verse which involves a LOT of OCs and has a bunch of AUs!

Speaking of which, Mandy, said ‘verse has become a huge collab with you and IT’S BEEN SO INCREDIBLY LOVELY TO COLLAB WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!!!!! It’s around a week until the first anniversary of our friendship, as far as I remember, and here’s to the iconicness that has come out of it!! CHEERS BESTIE BIG UWU

#28 JOHN HARRINGTON

A/N: Sorry if it’s not that good, English is kinda my second language. Hope you will enjoy it anyway :)

After the Olympic flame was extinguished, the men of Miracle went their separate ways – many of them continued their career path in the NHL, but John Harrington was undrafted by the greatest league. He still went to the tryouts with the Buffalo Sabres and was assigned to the Rochester Americans, an AHL team.

~~ROCHESTER, N.Y.~~

As he first enters the locker room of Rochester Americans, he feels uncomfortable. Thirty-one pairs of eyes are now focused on him, some of them (American players and those who are the seniors on the team, to be exact) looking at him with much friendlier eyes than the Canadian part of the team. There’s only one person, who looks at him with friendly eyes, is his teammate from the Olympic team, Eric Strobel. The silence is broken as one of the players, tall guy with slightly curly hair, stands up and offers the Minnesotan his hand and a big smile: “Paul Crowley, team captain. You must be John Harrington, right?”

“Nice to meet you, Paul. Yeah, that’s me,” handsome Conehead answers with a slight grin and shakes captain’s hand.

“Welcome to the Amerks. Just a fair warning,” Crowley leans closer and leaves Bah with no other option but to lean down a bit, since the Olympian is slightly taller than his Canadian captain. When Crowley makes sure no one else can hear him, he whispers: “Told your friend before…we are your team and we will stand up for you if needed, but don’t run around with your gold medal. Okay?”

“Understood. Thank you,” Bah nods and straightens up.

During the practice, despite following Crowley’s instructions, the two Olympians barely get the puck in their possession. John finds himself next to Eric and jabs him with a stick to get his attention. His former teammate turns to him: “I am glad you are here…” “They are giving us hard time, that’s for sure. Do you think they will act like that during the game?” “If they do, I am sitting it out.”

“Yeah, me too…” “Hey, Harrington, move!” Dave Schultz shouts, smacking his stick against the ice. John sighs and skates for the puck, thinking somewhere in a back of his brain, what an experience playing for coach Brooks had been. At least he got the puck and at least he had on-ice chemistry with his linemates. But right now, he can only hope it will get better. For both of them- Eric and himself.

After twelve games and seven scored points, things get better for right wing from Virginia, Minnesota. His team accepts the two Olympians and is willing to stand up for them. And the two Olympians do the same for them. But now, the danger comes from the outside – players with Canadian ancestry are resentful and jealous of American’s success at the Olympics and John, more than Eric, becomes a marked man. And the fact he was credited with an assist on Mike Eruzione’s goal against the Soviets, doesn’t bring him any good.

During one of the games, the jealousy becomes clearer as one of the Canadian players from the opposing team strikes him in the face with a stick on purpose. John is taken to the locker room to get his face taken care of. Even before, there were some scars on his face, but this time, the damage is a bit bigger – six stiches to close a bloody gash on his chin. While his face is being fixed, his teammates take matters into their own hands and the player, who struck their “Bah” in the face exits the game with a slight concussion.

During the game against Hershey Bears becomes clear, how deep the wounds of the Canadian players are. He finds himself being targeted by Lou Franceschetti, right winger from Toronto, Ontario. What pisses off his teammates (and the fans at the game) off the most is the fact his assaulter gets away without a penalty. It may looked as an innocent hit at first, but then it becomes clear it was anything but that. Hard working Conehead, who always seems to look at everything from the bright side, is laying in a pool of his own blood, unconscious. The fans on the stands get on their feet as they see him not getting up, pool of red, warm blood around his head getting wider and wider. His teammates gather around him and Gilles Hamel, a Canadian kid from Asbestos, Quebec, kneels down to him: “Come on, Bah, get your Virginian ass up. I know you can hear me. C’mon, man, your girl is on the stands, she has to be going nuts from worries.”

Eric Strobel kneels down next to his still unconscious buddy from the Olympic team: “Bah, come on, get up. We need you.”

Five minutes seems like an eternity. The blood finally stopped pouring out of John’s mouth, but it takes some more time before he is taken off the ice and straight in the hospital, where he has to spend the night. And the consequences of the hit are anything but innocent: concussion, fractured jaw, broken nose and four loosened teeth. But that’s only the physical damage – the mental damage is much worse. During the night, when the pain is keeping him awake despite the countless pain killers, he wonders how the hell what Franceschetti did to him, wasn’t called a penalty. How did the Canadian’s shoulder “happened to hit him in the back of his head��, knocking him unconscious. There is a flash of pain, when his teeth aches and his heart throbs with sadness. He does not understand how can someone hate player’s success so much he decides to knock him unconscious. And the visit of his girlfriend was, despite the good intentions, painful too. John couldn’t bear to see her worrying so much. He hated Franceschetti for what he did to him when he watched the love of his life gently tousle her fingers in his hair, felt her lips on his healthy cheek and her eyes fill with worry and tears whenever their eyes met. And when he saw her like that, he realized he could kill Franceschetti for causing so much pain. But not just to him – to his girlfriend, the last person in the world who deserved to see him like that.

During one of his sleepless moments, it hits him. He realizes if he went to Europe, to Switzerland, he could play a much cleaner game.

The next season, he finally gets the taste of European ice. After spending a season with Amerks and seeing the glimpse of what jealousy can bring, John joins the Swiss team HC Lugano, a team in NDB league (National League B). To make things better, he is reunited with another third of a Conehead line – quiet, but talented Mark Pavelich. The only thing he really misses, is his family in Minnesota and his girlfriend back home. He didn’t want her to join him overseas until he has ensured a solid future for both of them and has a good foundations to start a family with her. But he really misses her, he misses her support, her challenges how he can be much better than he is showing,… to sum it up, he misses her presence next to him.

One night, when he sits in a dark apartment in Lugano city center, he reminisces everything that has happened to him in the past two years, since he and the team, full of dreamers, won a gold medal at the Olympics. He may not play in the NHL, but he is getting the taste of Europe, farther away from home than his teammates from the Olympic team, who decided to stay in the States. He recalls all the support his girlfriend has given him when he needed someone to lean on the most (and even when he pretended he didn’t, she was there for him. His hand finds its way on the table next to the chair, where a pile of her letters lies. As soon as his fingers touch the paper, he realizes how much he really misses her. So much the words can’t describe.
