It is not looking good for USA

Trump made good on his word, calling the team this morning as they sat in their locker room before their morning skate. When a planned Zoom call failed to connect, the president spoke to them on speakerphone.

That's nice of the Dotard to take time out from his busy non-stop golfing to talk to them.

Without the Russians this is mock sport. Russkies are the gold standard in ice hockey. Are there Russians playing in NHL in USA or Canada? Were they kicked out by the sanctions?

When I was in school in Montreal the 'Red Army' came to North America and beat an NHL all-star team 6-0. Russian hockey was so good, that is why the 1980 US Olympic victory over the Russians is still celebrated.

No, the Red Army did not beat an NHL all-star team 6-0, but they did defeat the NHL All-Stars in a 1979 Challenge Cup series.
The Red Army, also known as HC CSKA Moscow, played the NHL All-Stars in a three-game series at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The Soviets won two games and lost one.

Image of 1979 Challenge Cup

A packed Madison Square Garden was stunned as Myshkin stonewalled the NHL. After a scoreless first period, the Soviets dominated the remainder of the game, winning 6-0 to capture the Challenge Cup


see if that helps!

CSKA Moscow, the famous Red Army team, bested the New York Rangers 7-3 at Madison Square Garden while the Soviet Wings defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 7-4. In perhaps the most famous game of the series, the Red Army had a New Year's Eve date with a Montreal Canadiens team on the cusp of winning the next four Stanley Cups. Montreal outshot the Soviets 38-13, but the magnificent play of goalie Vladislav Tretiak earned them a 3-3 draw.The Broad Street Bullies, as the Flyers were then known, managed to exact a measure of revenge with a 4-1 victory.

The Flyers, known for their physical, domineering approach, stunned the Soviets with their aggression, and they left the ice in protest 10 minutes into the first period. When they did return to play, the Flyers didn't back off. The crowd roared when Flyers defenceman Ed Van Impe leveled a ferocious hit against Russian star Valeri Kharlamov, whose ankle had previously been shattered by Flyers captain Bobby Clarke in the 1972 series. Still, when the final whistle blew, relations between the teams improved, with players from both sides sharing drinks in the locker room after the Flyers' win.


1979, the Soviet Union's national ice hockey team defeated the NHL All-Stars 2 games to 1 in the Challenge Cup. The games were played at Madison Square Garden in New York City.


It was the Soviet National national team, not Red army

I can't remember all the details, but remembered that the red army was basically the national team, may be 2 or 3 players from other teams.

I remember the Soviet team of that 87 Canada Cup.

They had a bevy of great players like Krutov, Larianov, Fetisov, and Makarov. Their only real weakness was in goal as the great Vladislav Trekiak had retired just prior to that tournament.

But I loved watching that iteration of the Soviet team play. They were so creative with the puck and were all wonderful skaters. Just a wonderful combination of speed and skill on the ice.
