Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Vladimir Konstantinov (Russian: ; born March 19, 1967) is a Russian retired professional ice hockey player who played his entire National Hockey League (NHL) career with the Detroit Red Wings. Previously, he had played for Soviet club CSKA Moscow. His career was ended in a limousine accident just six days after the Red Wings 1997 Stanley Cup victory. Vladimir Konstantinov, "Vladdie," was drafted 221st overall in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft by the Detroit Red Wings, after impressing a Red Wings scout at the 1987 World Junior Championships, where a brawl broke out in the Russia/Canada game. Scout Neil Smith remembers, "He was the only one of the Russians who fought back." Probably the most notable aspect of his hockey career was his aggressive style, specializing in getting opponents off their game. "For my game," he explained, "I don''t need to score the goal. I need someone to start thinking about me and forgetting about scoring goals." Konstantinov''s aggressive style of play also earned him the nickname "The Vladiator".
