Vladimir Jursinov – Big Moves
Jursi was the assistant coach for Tikonov with the great Soviet teams. The Russian players insisted he be the coach for the 1998 Olympic team or they wouldn't play. It was the first time NHL players participated in the Olympics. He has coached another Olympic team since, I think 2006. Jursi came one week a month to do skills and mentor the coaches when I was working for the Red Bulls in the 2008-09 season.
In these drills the focus in on big moves, hard fakes and handling the puck all around the body. Yashin is in a lot of the video and this is when he was MVP in the NHL and captain of Russia. Koivu is the player in green where him and Yashin are demonstrating the skills.
