memories of hockey...

the most famous trio of brothers ever to play,in NHL,were the Stastny brothers(Peter,Anton,and Marian)... they came from Czechoslovakia,during the Soviet era... they all played for the Quebec Nordiques,at the same time... Peter scored 450 goals(380,with Quebec),Anton scored 252 goals(all with Quebec),and Marian scored 121 goals(all with Quebec)... Peter also played for the New Jersey Devils,and with a cup of coffee,in St. Louis,with the Blues,(23 games,over two years),and without the Stastny brothers,you do not have a Russian explosion of players,when they defected through Canada,i believe,at that time... the Detroit Red Wings do not have "the Russian Five",without the Stastny brothers coming before them,because back then,the Soviet Union put a cap on hockey players,and their travels,in Eastern Europe...(remember "the Iron Curtain"?)...
