Red-hot Larionov keeps eye on cold state back home
Vancouver Canuck center Igor Larionov has more than just skating and scoring on his mind these days. After going pointless in his first eight games, the Russian-born Larionov had eight goals and 20 points in his next 21. But these have been difficult times for Larionov. He is keeping a keen eye on political developments in his homeland where Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev has been clinging to power. It was Gorbachev, and his policy of glasnost which paved Larionov’s route to the NHL. “Gorbachev will always live in my heart for what he has done,” said the 31-year-old Larionov, in his third season with the Canucks. “He opened the doors for myself and the other Soviet players. I think all Russian people should appreciate him. He took the Soviet military out of Afghanistan…

It’s forgive and forget time for Crisp with Golden Brett
Although Brett Hull spends an entire chapter (“Burned To A Crisp”) in his new book criticizing his ex-coach Terry Crisp, Canada’s Olympic team assistant coach refuses to be drawn into the one-way feud. Confronted with such Hullisms as, “Crisp wanted to break my spirit,” Crisp tells Bluelines, “Brett was a super young man and still is a super young man. Things are said, but that’s life. When I had him, I had no problem and we’re still the best of friends. Matter of fact, I talked to him the last three times he was in town (Calgary.) Those things (that Hull wrote about) happened a long time ago and I have nothing further to say about them.” When his Olympic team tour of duty ends in February, Crisp will begin…
Flames dying a natural death
In early 1985, the New York Islanders visited Calgary and were outclassed in a game by the Flames, then a team on the rise. Afterwards, coach Al Arbour and center Brent Sutter admitted something they’d suspected for awhile: That the Islanders, after four Stanley Cup championships between 1980 and 1983 and a trip to the ’84 finals, were on their way to becoming just another ordinary team. By then, I thought everybody else had figured that out already. After all, success in pro sports isn’t forever. It’s cyclical. Just because you’ve won before does not guarantee you will win again. In fact, it becomes much harder. As an organization, you draft right at the bottom. As players, you get a little fat and less sassy and maybe even a touch complacent. Something similar to…
