I feel him on the Rodriguez thing.
I used to be a big NHL fan (before they pussified the sport), and it was disconcerting when all the Russians came over, and everyone was named Blank-onov.
"Larionov, passes it up to Kasatanov, over to Krutov, shoots, SAVE by Lynchnikov!"
(That sentence doesn't seem so overwhelming in 2007, but it was mind-blowing in 1987.)
I remember marveling that Al Michaels could keep up with it in the 1980 USA/USSR game.
