DETROIT: Sergei Federov. Vladimir Konstantinov. Fetisov, Kozlov, Larionov. The stars of the Detroit Red Wings' 1997 Stanley Cup team were more than an example of the NHL's decidedly foreign flavor. They were the Red Army. So it is fitting that this summer, Lord Stanley's Cup will make its first trip to the former Soviet Union. The cup will be in Russia from Aug. 16-19. Fetisov, Kozlov and Larionov plan to parade the Cup through the streets of Moscow and then put it on display in Red Square. The announcement comes on the same day that Konstantinov...
Viktor Kozlov. Igor Larionov. Vlastimil Kroupa. Sandis Ozolinsh. The list reads longer then War and Peace...

By the grace of a fresh understanding between Moscow and the National Hockey League, stars Vyacheslav Fetisov, Igor Larionov and Sergei Makarov are now free to negotiate with the teams that drafted them: the New Jersey Devils, Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames (which already employs Sergei Priakin). Only one Soviet applicant has felt the need to defect. Alexander Mogilny saw Buffalo and just couldn't live anywhere else. Shrugging everything...
...optomistic about the chances for a Crimson triumph similar to last year's? Here's the big answer: Harvard's starting first unit is as dominating on the ice as Makharov, Fetisov, Krutov, Larionov and Lomakin are for the Soviet Olympic hockey team. Any one of the Russian five can get hot at any time, and so can the starting five for the icewomen...
