VLADISLAV TRETIAK - ALEXANDROV SET NO SURPRIZE FOR ME. JANUARY 1976



Boris Alexandrov Is Congratulated By Boris Mikhailov And Vladimir Petrov After Scoring a Goal Against Rangers On December 28, 1975

After the 1975-76 Series when CSKA has faced the NHL for the first time the new name attracted all attention - the youngster Boris Alexandrov has caught everyones admiration and passion.
Vladislav Tretiak was asked if Alexandrov's brilliant play during those games was any surprize for him.
"Not at all", was the answer, "for more than two years Boris is scoring me more goals than Kharlamov during CSKA practices..."

Today I would like to remind you this fantastic player whose achivments reeflected his abilities for maybe 10%...

  1. It's hard to imagine how many of top players were lost during 70s-80s in the USSR. Just killing system...Boris was one of them...

  2. As I told once. I think Boris Alexandrov was the most tallented player of the Soviets of 70s. Unfortunatl. he ruined his career - it's easy to say now - the Soviet system killed tallent (that is right, no doubt!), but one has to admit - Alexandrov was a person who is to blame for his own defeat as a major reason.
    Sorry...
