Vyacheslav Anisin
Team USSR # 22

Vyacheslav Anisin played on one of the most promising Soviet lines of the first half of the 1970's. The Lebedev-Anisin-Bodunov line was instrumental in several international games and many USSR championships. Like his linemates, Anisin graduated from the Red Army Club youth hockey school and played a few seasons for a mighty CSKA. Later, the whole line was invited by Boris Kulagin to play for his Krylya Sovetov. Anisin's line brought this overall unspectacular club the championship in 1974 and became the top scoring "troyka" of the season. A slick passer and skater, Anisin was a gifted playmaker setting up many goals by his crafty wings.
