Question

Could the 1972-80 USSR ice hockey team beat any team today?

Answer 1

It's hard to imagine them beating Detroit.

Answer 2

i believe tat the super series proved that team canada could beat the russians, but if your talking NHL, they would embarrass any team

Answer 3

Even with modern equipment (or if today's players used pads from that era) the game has evolved so much over the years. But as Adidas says << Impossible is nothing >>

Answer 4

i dont think so.. .the players are just too well conditioned and trained these days  

Answer 5

No, the skill back then is no where near today.

If you watch the classic games on NHL network you will see compardes to the players today they can barely skate. The goalies were absolutley terrible back then and the players were all weaker then now.

Answer 6

Hi

The could beat any team yes. As we all learned in 1980 anything can happen and anyone can beat anyone.

Thank You
