** Vladimir Krutov, nicknamed "The Tank", played the first 12 seasons of his career (1977-1989) with the Moscow hockey league. For the Soviet Union national team, Krutov won the 1981 Canada Cup, two golds (1984, 1988) and one silver (1980) in the Olympics, and six golds (1981, 1982, 1983, 1986, 1989, 1990), one silver (1987), and one bronze (1985) in the World Championships. He was one of the first Soviet players to make the jump to the NHL, doing so with the Vancouver Canucks in 1989. Krutov left the NHL after one season in No. America and played for a number of smaller clubs before retiring. Krutov died in Moscow in 2012, just five days after his 52nd birthday.
