Sergei Fedorov, on Igor Larionov's podcast, is reminiscing about Detroit's record-breaking year

Sergei Fedorov, as a guest on Igor Larionov's podcast on Kinopoisk platform, dove deep into the legendary era of the Detroit Red Wings. He started by reminiscing about their record-breaking 1995-96 season, a year where the team dominated the league like never before. "We were flying," Fedorov said. "We felt unstoppable, setting that wins record. But then came Colorado..." The mood turned somber as they discussed the painful playoff defeat to the Avalanche. That loss to their budding archrivals, after such a dominant run, was a bitter pill to swallow. The conversation then shifted to the following year, the 1997 championship season. "That Cup was everything we worked for," Fedorov recalled. "We got our revenge, we were on top of the world." But the celebration was short-lived. The elation of the Cup was almost immediately shattered by the tragic car accident that left Vladimir Konstantinov and team masseur Sergei Mnatsakanov critically injured. Larionov called it a "punch to the gut," and Fedorov agreed, describing how the city's parade, which should have been pure joy, was instead filled with a somber, unifying strength. The Stanley Cup that year was no longer just a trophy; it was a symbol of resilience for their brothers. Finally, they touched on the documentary "The Russian Five." Fedorov, with a somewhat heavy heart, admitted, "You know, I still haven't been able to finish watching it. It's just... too much. It brings back all those emotions—the glory and the pain—all at once."
