Yushkevic and Markov were two of the best D the Leafs had in the 90s. They loved the city and especially Danny "Elvis" Markov, brought a lot of joy and personality to the team. He was the opposite of everything my Dad taught me to hate about the russians growing up.

I know because of Borje and then Mats, the Leafs are a popular team in Sweden. Maybe the Leafs can become the new Russian desirable place. I read an article that Zaitsev was blown away by the Leafs and the city etc. Apparently he was courted by quite a few teams but once he met with The Leafs his mind was made up.

Maybe the buds start mining talent from mother Russia on the regular. Can't hurt, right? KHL works like a really good testing league with the talent level.

I knew it.

The Russian five - do your research you (franks). The Leafs will always

have 3-5 Russians on the team moving forward. Definite part of the

former Russian teammates & friends.
