The Russian Five
This is the story of the five Russian hockey stars who generated among the most notable chapters in Motor City sports history and also helped propel the Detroit Red Wings. The film provides the behind-the-scenes story of the Red Wings' strategy in luring the five Russian players, including Fedorov and Vladimir Konstantinov's defections. It also provides new insight to many important moments in Wings' history, for example coach Bowman's decision to play with the Russian Five at the identical time, the damn competition between the Wings and Colorado Avalanche, the 1996-97 Stanley Cup run and the dreadful limo accident that seriously injured Konstantinov and masseur Sergei Mnatsakanov at the bash wake.
