"Sergey Mozyakin is a handsome guy"

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Mozyakin is a handsome guy. And speaking of today's game, I don’t see him in the national team. ”

The head coach of the Russian national team, Vyacheslav Bykov, continues to ignore people who for some reason left the army club. As one of the experts correctly noted, Bykov is slowly turning from a coach with a Western mentality into a representative of the Soviet coaching school, with his grievances and complexes. There is no other reason why Sergei Mozyakin, who scored 33 points in 30 matches, cannot be invited to the Eurotour stage.

SERIES OF THE WEEK

Defender of the “Lada” Alexander Guskov scores points in 11 games in a row. Dmitry Nabokov scored for Sibir in the 23rd game of the championship.

23 matches this Dmitry Nabokov, a hockey player with experience playing for Dynamo, Hammer-Prikamye and 11 more clubs in 11 years, could not hit the opponents' goal. Finally, he succeeded. They say that Nabokov went to church several times, but only last week they heard him. Recall that the worst among the forwards - Magnitogorsk player Igor Korolev - does not score at all in 29 matches. But the defender of the “Lada” Alexander Guskov continues to work miracles. The NHL would now follow his every move, to score points in 11 meetings in a row is almost a miracle. Especially for a defense player.

RESPONSE OF THE WEEK

Omsk "Vanguard" refused the player of the Russian national team Denis Tyurin.

The management of "Vanguard" decided to refuse the services of striker Denis Tyurin. But this forward this season won the first stage of the Eurotour as part of the Russian team. But in Siberia, he did not stick. 28 matches, 1 goal We are fired for lesser offenses. So, Yaroslavl Lokomotiv refused the services of Czech Jan Pardava (4 matches, 1 goal). The statistics didn’t work either.

SENSATION OF THE WEEK

Krylia Sovetov goalkeeper Dmitry Yachanov invited to the national team.

A veteran of Russian hockey, a 32-year-old goalkeeper who played his best matches for Ak Bars, probably himself was surprised by the challenge. But what can you do if the country has a tense situation with goalkeepers of Russian origin? Zvyagin is injured, Sokolov loses the competition to young Belov. Fomichev is a former soldier, so he was ordered to join Bykov’s team. But something new is not visible. In general, a challenge to the team to Yachanov, who, by the way, does not stand out at all, playing for the “wings”, is another confirmation that there is a problem with Russian goalkeepers in the country. And if foreign goalkeepers are banned at all, then it will be just a nightmare.

PUNISHMENT OF THE WEEK

The arbitrator Yuri Tsyplakov is deprived of part of his salary.

According to the FHR Competition Authority, the referee of the CSKA - Neftekhimik match Yuri Tsyplakov was punished for several mistakes. In that match, the judge counted a controversial goal (a strange hockey player was lying on the Nizhnekamsk goalkeeper), appointed the wrong shoot (Neftekhimik player Denis Sokolov cleanly took the puck from the striker), but he didn’t suffer for that. The expert commission recognized 5 other actions of the judge as incorrect (in total 12 claims were presented). Now Tsyplakov will lose part of his salary. But he will continue to judge.

TRAGEDY OF THE WEEK

Neftekhimik striker Denis Loginov suffered in a car accident.

Forward "Neftekhimik" Denis Loginov on the road from Nizhnekamsk to Kazan was in an accident. The taxi on which Loginov and his mother were traveling crashed into a truck. As a result, the hockey player received fractures of the base of the skull and bones of the pelvis, and his mother - concussion and fracture of the bones of the pelvis. Loginov was immediately given trepanation of the skull.

INJURY OF THE WEEK

Defender Dynamo Denis Kulyash received a concussion.

Last week, defender Denis Kulyash was to avenge SKA striker Igor Makarov for his injury in the first round match. Revenge did not take place, and Petersburgers took away three points from the capital. And in the next match against Severstal, Kulyash received the third concussion in a season. Now he will miss two weeks, and most importantly - he risks prematurely ending his career.

WEEK RESULTS

Dynamo - SKA - 1: 2, SKA - Ak Bars - 5: 2.

Finally, Yuri Leonov, sensationally appointed to the army club instead of Boris Mikhailov, began to win. No, Mikhailov left naturally, and the team with him showed not hockey, but only a parody. But the invitation of a person who does not have experience working with large teams surprised everyone. He could not win four games, and then the army broke through. True, the leadership also helped here. The fact is that the players of the St. Petersburg team announced a reduction in wages (and several times). And they will receive all the money only if they get into the eight or ... win the remaining matches. Both goals are almost unattainable.
