Damn.
It felt great from the get-go in Red Army.
Me and Alex got together.
A year later, Pavel came in.
We spent...
Last season at Red Army, then play in World Juniors.
Adirondack, I believe.
We won there.
And me and Alex went to adult, first national team to Stockholm, and we won there in 89.
He left, I stay.
So when you mentioned before that you knew nothing about the NHL, even when you came over, would you say that as a young kid in Russia, is it your dream to play for the Red Army or growing up where you were?
You don't even really know about that before the Internet and all this.
That's correct.
Very limited information.
As you know, I said, we train on the ice twice, 11 months out of the year, with the games going on and stuff.
Then we have morning warm-up, which is we run or do something.
Then, first two years, we even train with Alex and Pavel eventually at 9 p.m.
also, before we go to bed.
So it would be like almost three to four practices.
But it's only two years, you know.
