KHL ICE HOCKEY GAME - DINAMO MINSK VS CSKA - MINSK ARENA - 26 MAR 2025

https://rumble.com/v6r9qcg-khl-ice-hockey-game-dinamo-minsk-vs-cska-minsk-arena-26-mar-2025.html

March 26, 2025, Dinamo Minsk faced off against CSKA Moscow in an electrifying first-round playoff game of the Gagarin Cup in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).

The Minsk team started the KHL playoffs at home for the first time and was able to defeat the Army Men with a score of 5:2.

🏒In the first period, our team missed two goals. In the third minute, after a long rally in the opponent's zone, Demchenko, not seeing the moment of Samorukov's throw from a long distance, was unable to save the goal. Soon the "army men" doubled their advantage: Nesterov threw from afar, Demchenko blocked it in front of him, but after a series of ricochets, Karnaukhov picked up the puck and pushed it into the empty goal.

🏒🐃 With 5 minutes left in the first period, the Belarusians managed to pull themselves together and Sergei Kuznetsov reduced the deficit to a minimum, hitting the Muscovites' goal from an acute angle right into the near top corner, catching Khomchenko off guard. Then the Minsk team managed to capitalize on their numerical advantage. With a beautiful pass from the left side, Pinchuk passed the puck in front of the opponent's goal to Enas, who easily beat Khomchenko, throwing it right into the near bottom corner of the goal.

🐃 In the second period, Dmitry Kvartalny's charges took the lead. With his second touch, Borikov threw the puck into the Muscovites' goal right under the crossbar.

🐃 In the third period, Dynamo Minsk doubled its advantage. Pinchuk took possession of the puck near the boards and passed it to Volkov in the center, who moved forward at speed and shot right into the far bottom corner. Volkov scored the fifth goal in the final minutes.

🐃❄️ The next game will be held in Minsk on March 28, then the teams will move to Moscow for the matches on March 30 and April 1. If the series drags on (up to four wins), additional games will be held on April 3 in Minsk, April 5 in Moscow and April 7 again in Minsk.

Sergei, 1958

“When he was in a bad mood, he would lock himself in a shell. He had his own understanding of life and of hockey, which he held to firmly, and revealed rarely….”

[Sergei Makarov in his Red Army sweater, coming over the boards for a shift with a determined expression.]

Sergei Makarov was born in Chelyabinsk, Russia’s Detroit. His parents didn’t bother to send him to daycare, because they always knew where he would be, toddling around the apartment block, pushing a puck.

His favorite game was playing the “Makarov Championship” with his older brothers. Kneeling on the floor of their apartment to bat a puck around, they each pretended to be one of the three famous teams in Moscow. Nikolai, already a teenager, picked Dynamo, Yuri would be Spartak, and baby Sergei imagined himself as CSKA.

Outside the Makarov home, those teams had secret identities of their own. CSKA was naturally favored by the military brass. Dynamo’s biggest fans were intelligence officers—the KGB. (I don’t know if anyone liked Spartak.) 

Nikolai would soon be chosen by CSKA’s farm team. Tween Sergei visited whenever he could—not so much to see his brother, but his brother’s new teammate, a winger like Sergei wanted to be, named Valeri Kharlamov.

When Nikolai could come home, Sergei would beg him to teach him all of Kharlamov’s new moves. When he couldn’t copy them all to Sergei’s satisfaction, Nikolai pled ‘being a defenseman’, and invited Kharlamov home for dinner to meet his biggest fan. Nikolai was traded back to Chelyabinsk’s senior team, where he would have his own successful career, but the impression Kharlamov left on Sergei lingered.

[Two black and white pictures of Sergei and Nikolai Makarov on the ice. In the first, it’s extremely hard to tell which one is ten years older than the other. In the second, Nikolai is hanging off his brother while Sergei looks amused.]

With movie-star cool looks, he grew up confident and fiercely independent. By the time he was 17, Sergei’s two passions were ‘Kharlamov’ and ‘quitting hockey.’ When the team scraped together a win, Sergei was most of the reason. So when the team lost, his coaches would point to him for failing. Sergei would snap back about why they even needed him if he sucked so much, and so on.

It was only when it got up to the head coach of the senior team, who called him up to stop him walking, that Chelyabinsk started winning. When he made the junior national team, they won gold. 

Coach Tikhonov invited him to practice with the big boys. Then he added the rookie to the men’s national team roster for the ’78 Worlds. Then they won gold. It was the start of a long, strange pattern: for every major international tournament, Coach Tikhonov liked to bring a new rookie. 

CSKA decided they were interested in another Makarov brother after all. Sergei and another prospect from the junior national team, a left winger named Vladimir Krutov, joined a roster already stacked with famous players like Boris Mikhailov, young star Slava Fetisov, and, of course, Kharlamov. 

Vova, 1960

[A headshot of Vladimir Krutov in the famous green sweater that the National team's top line wore in practice. He has a round face, very blue round eyes, and a gentle expression.]

“Volodya was such a dependable and steadfast man that I would have gone anywhere with him — to war, to espionage, into peril.”

Playing in Moscow’s backstreets, the boys had a nickname for Vladimir Krutov—Пупсик (“Pupsik”) means “sweetie” or “babydoll”. As a young man he picked up another name that doesn’t need translation: “Tank.” 

With a cherubic, pink-cheeked face and easy smile, he inspired affection in very nearly everyone who met him, and kept it with a death-defying loyalty. He couldn’t stand, or understand, unfairness: if someone went after his friends, on or off the ice, he’d dive in to sort it out. 

But when authority figures treated him badly, his fairness and faithfulness butted heads. His best friend described a moment when, as a teenager, he took a puck to the face and fell down, then skated unsteadily to the team doctor. The coach screamed at him for coming off before a change. “Vladimir was crushed. Never before—or since—had anyone questioned his guts.” But he simply stood there and took it without talking back, as if he couldn’t imagine a coach could do wrong.

He wasn’t the enforcer you’d expect, though. In three World Juniors he always came out the top scorer, his speed and strength catching the attention of Canadian juniors who’d one day be his teammates.

In ’79 Vova was called up from CSKA’s junior team to join the men for a few games, and scored 4 goals in a game against arch-nemesis Dynamo. The next year Vova and Sergei both scrambled into the CSKA lineup full-time, and Coach Tikhonov decided Vova would be his rookie of the year. He was headed to the 1980 Olympics, without having even played a World Championship at the men’s level. 

“For American people, selective memory, it’s a national thing,” Slava says about 1980. “I admit, I own one of the most famous silver medals in sports history. Correct? Done?”

[An action shot of Vova sprawled in the crease beside the American goaltender]

The Miracle on Ice story looks up at the Soviet team from under the chin. But Kharlamov and goaltender Vladislav Tretiak were Coach Tarasov’s giants, not Coach Tikhonov’s. Slava and Sergei were only 21 years old. Lyosha, 20. Vova was 19. The player who would make him and Sergei world-famous was another teenager, not even on the team. I’m not saying the US’s win wasn’t wonderful, but it wasn’t a simple or satisfying end—just the beginning of an unraveling.

[Vova throwing his arms in the air as the American goaltender turns to see the puck bouncing out of the net behind him]

[Sergei carrying the puck through open ice. His stick is tangled with two American defenders’, but he’s still got the puck between his feet]

Vova scored the first goal in the game, and Sergei tied it back up before the end of the first. (In an underdog story, what does it say when we don’t name the 19 year old who’d never been here before, and stood up to the pressure at only 5 foot 9? Some college boys played a game against another boy called Baby. Any way we spin that is a choice.)

But Tretiak had let in two as well, so Tikhonov pulled the best goalie in the world after twenty minutes. He put in Vladimir Myshkin, who will be remembered to history as “Not Tretiak” (or just as Tretiak: many people think Tretiak played the Miracle game). He seemed to lean on other defensemen than Slava and Lyosha, despite how they’d helped set up those goals: the other d-men were older, and they were from the contingent of the national team that didn’t play for CSKA most of the year, but for Dynamo.

Remember, the KGB’s favorites. And Tikhonov had been trained there, years before. Maybe Tikhonov wanted to please somebody, wanted a different position, coaching Dynamo during the season instead of CSKA, which was still packed with players who Tarasov, not Tikhonov, had chosen. If he had played Tretiak and Tretiak won, in their hearts people would still have given the win to Tarasov, not Tikhonov. That was only rumor, but hey, that’s Russia. What mattered was respect. 

“Tikhonov was quiet like a fucking rabbit after this game,” Slava says. “But he had no choice but to stick with us, and we took over the world, just like that.”

Tikhonov’s loss in February 1980 was followed by another he might eventually have regretted more. 

Vova had scored as many goals as Boris Mikhailov, a legend on the team. Sergei, just behind him, tied for points and squeaked passed Kharlamov in goals. But all the pieces around the two young stars had been Coach Tarasov’s—30, 32, 32, 35. Old, old, old. Coach Tikhonov scrambled the plans, put the rookies together, and went hunting for a center for them.

Igor, 1960

[A candid headshot of Igor Larionov in practice. He has blue eyes and an expression I can either describe as ‘wistful’ or ‘pouty.’]

If you like horror movies, spoiler: Igor Larionov will be Coach Tikhonov’s ‘final girl’.

Just down the river from Moscow, Igor was born in Voskresensk, a one-stoplight town that eventually grew to two. Voskresensk’s team, Khimik, is a bit of a spoiler too: they might not be very good, but they’re good at kicking the shit out of Moscow. 

His grandfather had been kicked out of Moscow for mocking the regime. His parents had been raised as laborers, who moved from peasant farming to the town as factories grew. Igor loved his parents and his hometown, but already from a little distance. Unlike the Makarovs, he never felt quite the same as his brother, who played hockey too but who Igor thought wasted every opportunity with some knucklehead move. No one else ever seemed to see the opportunities Igor did, waiting spaces for a perfect plan to slither through. He was always small, and he had a lot of thoughts about everything, and even more feelings. Most of those feelings ended with “f— you.” He liked people a lot, but he would never feel sure enough if they liked him.

Apparently he loved ‘80s glam rock music.

No one noticed when he started to play for Khimik. His second season, he put up 45 points in 43 games, and that was enough to draw attention. In the fall of 1980 CSKA played Khimik, and before the game Coach Tikhonov sent a note inviting the 19 year-old to meet outside the rink. He made him the usual offer: sign with CSKA instead, and maybe you’ll make the national team.

Igor said something like, “Uh, I have a game to play? (F— you),” and picked up five more points against CSKA that night.

Igor knew signing with Coach Tikhonov’s CSKA was bad news. He knew other players from Voskresensk who had passed through CSKA’s grinding system, and who intimated that the coaching was nothing like Khimik’s. He knew that once you travelled to Moscow’s training facility, there wouldn’t be any going home on weekends. Worst, once you signed as an officer of the Army, he knew that breaking those contracts counted as treason. He was the teenage geek being invited to a party in the woods by the lake where teenagers always get murdered by the lake monster.

But he was also a teenage geek getting invited to a party. 

He had gotten to go to World Juniors U-20 twice, both times with Vova. Like most people, Igor liked Vova rather helplessly, and he had loved traveling. He was proud of his English, proud of his reading and writing, and proud of his ability to understand people. Hotels full of visiting teams had been like feasts: he loved meeting other players and snatched up every opportunity to talk with them. He liked to sit in the stands to watch every game he didn’t have to play in, and cheered for his opponents. He refused to call them ‘rivals’, or 'enemies.' He thought that was how you talked about soldiers and war, not players of a game.

That year in U-20 Vova had been the top junior scorer as usual, but Igor had been voted the MVP. He’d been sure it meant something, that the two of them would be going places, together. Then almost as soon as they’d returned from World Juniors, Tikhonov had appeared in a whirlwind and whisked Vova away on an American adventure, off to the Olympics--alone. Igor watched the Miracle game on TV with his Khimik teammates, and realized he was running out of time. 

With 20 looming, the only way he’d ever travel again would be if he could make the men’s national team too. Igor was proud of his play, and he knew that he was good enough to make the national team while playing on any team he wanted—as long as it was Moscow’s. No one who cared would keep watching Khimik.

And at 20, like everyone else in Russia, he was already in debt—those two years of mandatory military service. Spartak was courting him that year too: their coach acted friendly, and bought Igor food, and offered to help his family. But Igor knew Spartak’s coach was out of favor with the Army officials, and Tikhonov was in. So even if he signed with Spartak and tried to fulfill his service through work assignments and trainings on their side of Moscow, he could be mysteriously called up to “active duty” on CSKA’s side at any moment.

At least, he thought, Tikhonov was honest. He knew something was wrong, or he maybe he just thinks he should have, looking back. But he was lonely. 

While Igor was overthinking everything, Coach Tikhonov played Sergei and Vova with a center named Viktor Zhluktov for the rest of the ’80-81 season. Viktor Zhluktov probably has a rich interior life like anyone else: for our purposes he is a transparent cut-out with “Mean Girl” stamped on his forehead. He even has an evil mustache. 

[An old Soviet graphic with a headshot of Viktor Zhluktov. He has a really bad mustache.]

Vova probably thought he was nice. 

Igor, who was still with Khimik and totally didn’t care, thought Viktor “did not shine as a player, but thanks to his faultless obedience to Tikhonov, he got onto the national team with no problem.”

By August 1981, Coach Tikhonov was ready to make the team a little more obediently his. He told Kharlamov not to bother joining the national team for that fall’s Canada Cup: he was getting too old. 

Kharlamov had been privately planning to retire before the winter, but he’d wanted to travel with the team and play one last time, a goodbye tour. While driving back to Moscow with his wife Irina, he was killed in a car crash on August 27. 

Overnight, it was official: Vova became the best left winger outside the NHL by default. He inherited CSKA’s top line spot, the top line on the national team too. Sergei, who had just lost his childhood friend, rose silently on the right. 

That summer Igor signed as a private in the Army. He was not going to be a good soldier, and he knew it. But he reported to Moscow’s training camp.

Liverpool's trophy haul compared to every other club in professional sports via /r/LiverpoolFC

Liverpool's trophy haul compared to every other club in professional sports

Bit of background: last year I was part of a research project that looked at different factors that can lead to sporting success, as part of this project my team was tasked with putting together detailed data on the most successful sporting clubs across the world in every team sport! I transcribed and published our data for every individual sport on Reddit as a sort of side hobby and a little while back a different user asked if he could use my stats for his own posts, to which I said sure. The user than made a serious of posts that I thought were very cool where he compared a club's trophy cabinet to that of every other team in sports, but as a Man U fan he to no surprise never did one for Liverpool. So I figured I'd make one for The Mighty Reds myself!

As we know, Liverpool have won 64 trophies in the club's glittering history: 18 leagues, 6 European Cups, 3 UEFA Cups, 4 UEFA Super Cups, 1 Club World Cups, 7 FA Cups, 8 League Cups, 15 Charity Shields, 1 Sheriff of London Charity Shield and 1 Football League Super Cup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_F.C.#Honours. It's pretty much common knowledge that this makes us one of the most successful clubs in Europe, but let's see where we measure up not only in comparison to every football club in the world, but every other club in all of sports:

FOOTBALL - https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/30-most-successful-football-clubs-19428893

Ignoring that this list is based on stats from early May 2019 and thus misses out our latest Champions League, Super Cup and Club World Cup trophies, factoring them in sees us officially the 16th most decorated football club in the world today (as Juve would stay above us thanks to their trophies at the end of last season that weren't clinched at the time of writing either)!

BASKETBALL - https://np.reddit.com/r/Euroleague/comments/fmw6rf/basketball_clubs_in_the_world_with_the_most/

Liverpool would take a place in the top 5 on the list of the most successful basketball clubs, coming in 5th.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL - https://np.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/flzsg6/nfl_teams_with_the_most_leaguerecognized_trophies/

Liverpool would finish well clear in 1st amongst American football teams, our trophy haul almost trebling the Green Bay Packers' who are the most decorated team in the NFL!

CRICKET - https://np.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/fmatu8/domestic_cricket_clubs_in_the_world_with_the_most/

Liverpool would once again finish 1st on a list of the most successful cricket clubs, four trophies ahead of New South Wales (Australia) and 15 ahead of HCC (Holland)!

HOCKEY - https://np.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/fn48q6/hockey_teams_in_the_world_with_the_most_trophies/

Liverpool would be 3rd amongst hockey teams, seven and nine trophies behind the sport's top two of CSKA Moscow (Russia) and Steaua Rangers (Romania) but 22 trophies in front of third-place Acroni Jesenice (Slovenia).

RUGBY UNION - https://np.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/comments/fmx0bt/rugby_union_clubs_in_the_world_with_the_most/

Liverpool would finish 2nd on a list of successful rugby union clubs, just two trophies ahead of the team in 3rd but 21 and 22 trophies ahead of the teams in 4th and 5th positions!

RUGBY LEAGUE - https://np.reddit.com/r/rugbyleague/comments/fm9t9k/updated_rugby_league_clubs_in_the_world_with_the/

Liverpool would be joint-2nd amongst rugby league clubs, our recent Super Cup and Club World Cup wins bringing us level with Leeds Rhinos and St. Helens on 64 trophies each! However, we'd all still remain miles off from Wigan Warriors, who are the sport's undisputed historical powerhouse.

HANDBALL - https://np.reddit.com/r/Handball/comments/fmuzn1/handball_clubs_in_the_world_with_the_most_trophies/

The Reds finish 5th in comparison to handball clubs, just one trophy behind 4th place and seven trophies ahead of our nearest would-be challenger in the other direction.

VOLLEYBALL - https://np.reddit.com/r/volleyball/comments/fmuvw1/volleyball_clubs_in_the_world_with_the_most/

Liverpool's trophy haul would place us 4th on a list of the most successful volleyball clubs, and just seven trophies off 2nd too!

BASEBALL - https://np.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/fn4oem/the_most_decorated_baseball_franchises_in_the/

Liverpool would come 2nd amongst the most decorated baseball clubs in the world, and be just three trophies off the New York Yankees while being six, eight and 26 trophies ahead of the Yomiuri Giants, Neptunus and Draci Brno just below us!

AUSSIE RULES - https://np.reddit.com/r/AFL/comments/fljdz7/australian_football_teams_with_the_most_trophies/

Liverpool would comfortably finish 1st in comparison to Aussie Rules sides, as we'd be five trophies ahead of Port Adelaide, 16 ahead of Norwood and 25 ahead of East Fremantle in fourth place.

WATER POLO - https://np.reddit.com/r/waterpolo/comments/fmwth8/water_polo_clubs_in_the_world_with_the_most/

Liverpool would be joint-4th in comparison to water polo clubs, and just five trophies off 3rd and six off 2nd to boot!

BANDY - https://np.reddit.com/r/Bandy/comments/fljywy/updated_bandy_clubs_in_the_world_with_the_most/

We would easily finish 1st on a list of the most decorated bandy clubs, 11 trophies ahead of the most successful side in the sport, Dynamo Moscow, and 30 trophies ahead of the next best team, Vasteras SK.

PESAPALLO - https://np.reddit.com/r/Pesapallo/comments/flk3ue/updated_pesapallo_teams_with_the_most_trophies/

Finally, we'd similarly finish 1st and well above every club in Pesapallo in terms of success, as we've won more than three times as many honours as the most successful team in the sport otherwise!

Alexei Yashin Net Worth, Biography, Career, Income, Home & Age

What is Alexei Yashin's Net Worth? Alexei Yashin is a former Russian professional hockey player with a $42 million net worth. Alexei Yashin played for the teams Avtomobilist Sverdlovsk and Dynamo Moscow in the USSR and the RSL, respectively. In the 1992 NHL Draft, Yashin was taken by the Ottawa Senators with the second pick. He was traded to the New York Islanders in 2001, and they quickly gave him a $87.5 million contract for 10 years. Alexei played for the Islanders and Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the RSL and KHL. In the KHL, he played for SKA St. Petersburg and CSKA Moscow. After the 2011–12 season, he quit. Yashin has competed for Russia in international competitions and won a silver medal in 1998 and a bronze medal in 2002. In 2012, Vladislav Tretiak, the president of the Russian Hockey Federation, chose him to be the general manager of the Russian National Women's Team. Early Life Yashin was born in Sverdlovsk, Russia, which was part of the Soviet Union at the time, on November 5, 1973. We don't know much about his early life, except that he started playing ice hockey at a young age, which is common in Russia. When he was 19, the National Hockey League took notice of how good he was at hockey. Career Yashin's name made its first big splash on the international hockey scene in 1992, when the Ottawa Senators picked him with their first draft pick after the team grew. Since he was already playing with Dynamo Moscow, he chose to stay in Russia for the 1992-1993 season. He then moved to Ottawa for the 1993-1994 NHL season. He came with Alexandre Daigle, another Russian player. Both were expected to be stars, but Yashin turned out to be the team's best player. He scored 79 points in his first year with the Senators and was nominated for the Calder Memorial Trophy. Yashin became an even bigger star player in the NHL in the years that followed. In 1997, he helped the Senators get into the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time. The next year, in 1998, he scored a key overtime goal in the playoffs that helped the team beat the New Jersey Devils in their first playoff series win ever. Yashin was named team captain for the 1998-1999 season. Even though the Senators were swept in the first round of the playoffs, he had a very good season. In the end, he scored 94 points, which was the most he had ever scored in his career. By the end of the season, he was a runner-up for the Hart Memorial Trophy, which is given to the NHL's most valuable player, and was named to the NHL's Second Team All-Stars. Yashin's time in Ottawa was very successful on the ice, but he had many contract disputes while he was there. When Yashin first signed his contract, Daigle, the other Russian player, was expected to be the star player and had the most valuable contract on the team. Yashin later asked for more money and broke his contract before the 1995 season because of how well he did. Because of this, some fans began to dislike Yashin. After Yashin said he would give $1 million to the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, he made things even worse with his fans there. But when the Centre found out that one of the conditions of the donation was that they pay Yashin's parents over $400,000 in "consulting fees," they hesitated and Yashin canceled the donation, which hurt his relationship with the public even more. Getty Images Yashin's worst moment with the Senators was in 1998, when he again broke his contract and asked for a pay raise that would put him on the same salary level as NHL stars like Joe Sakic. Yashin asked to be traded, but the Senators said no. Instead, the Senators took away his role as captain and, when he continued to refuse to play, suspended him for the 1999-2000 season. Yashin's public image took a big hit when he tried to play for a Swiss team but was stopped by the International Ice Hockey Federation until the dispute was settled. He played his last season with the Senators in 2000–2001, and when he came into the arena, people would often boo and jeer at him. Yashin was traded to the New York Islanders on the day of the 2001 draft. Mike Milbury, the general manager of the Islanders, gave Yashin a ten-year, $8.7 million deal. At the time, this was a very high amount. Yashin's point production went down after he signed the contract, but he did help the team make the playoffs for the first time in years. In 2005, the team lost a number of important players, and Yashin was named captain. But the Islanders did not make the playoffs that year for the first time since Yashin joined the team. Over the next couple of years with the Islanders, Yashin had trouble getting back to where he used to be, and he also hurt his knee. In June 2007, the Islanders bought him out of the rest of his contract. Yashin signed a one-year deal with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the Russian Superleague in July 2007. This was after he turned down contracts from other NHL teams. Then, in 2009, he signed with the Kontinental Hockey League's SKA Saint Petersburg.
