FEARS “CHEMISTRY ”
“Apparently, participating in the Spengler Cup, which I insisted on, was a mistake,” Peter Vorobyov admitted at a press conference. He did not find other explanations for the unsuccessful game of the team.
The third round of “Chemist” is really terrible. In nine matches - only three wins and one draw. The worst thing for the fans is that the team cannot gather strength even at home. On her ice, she completely limp lost to “Salavat Yulaev” - 0: 4.
The leadership of the club are unhappy with the fifth place and are thinking about changing their coach. It seems that the main reason for postponing a serious decision is the lack of free people in the coaching labor market. Nobody thinks that Vorobyov is an excellent specialist. But you just need not to perceive him as an alchemist, capable of turning any stone into gold.
In “Chemist” throughout the season, for some reason, the players, and now the coaches, are unnerving. Each failure is an occasion for a showdown, as if the team from Mytishchi fought for survival, and did not occupy a place at the top of the table. In such an environment, nothing good will come of it. To become the best club in the country, you need to learn how to hold shots, and not to panic when something goes wrong.
CONSCIENCE OF SEVERSTAL
Krylyev Sovetov General Director Roman Khairetdinov withdrew the lawsuit from the sports court, where he disputed the actions of Severstal, which took forward striker Oleg Gubin without compensation. This may mean that the leaders of the Cherepovets club realized that they had acted ugly, having entered into secret negotiations with the hockey player.
Despite the fact that the FHR arbitration court sided with Severstal, the Wings did not calm down. They have every penny counts. And they hoped to get something for Gubin from Dynamo, interrupting the contract with the athlete. Now, judging by the recall of the lawsuit, the metropolitan club managed to somehow agree with the Cherepovets.
An important detail of the whole story is the decision of the arbitration committee of the FHR. This organ has not been taken seriously for a long time, and, to be frank, it is not worth a penny - at least, the strongest players in the hockey world. What laws govern there? Why is every committee decision controversial? It’s time to sort it out. Yes, no one.
By the way, an explicit outsider of the Super League “Wings of the Soviets” took one point in the match with the team, which in the third round defeats everyone indiscriminately. We hope that compensation is still not so modest.
ZARIPOV'S RECORD
Five goals in one meeting, no one before in the championships of Russia scored. Surprisingly, Kazan Danis Zaripov led them into the gates of the HC MVD. And this opponent is not among the "plush".
“I will keep the stick,” the record holder said after the match. “But he hasn't decided yet whether she should play ...”
Note that once again the whole three flashed Zaripov - Zinoviev - Morozov. On her account in this game 12 points. And Sergei Zinoviev played on the monument, who refused to go to the location of the team “because of a serious injury”. How can I make four assists in an official match if something hurts you? Only one hockey player knows the answer to this question.
We must come to terms with the fact that the first Kazan link is for internal use only.
VERDICT GARDNER
Forward Yaroslavl “Locomotive” Fedor Fedorov moved to the Swedish “Malmo”. Thanks to his father, who was handing out sensational (and somewhat funny) interviews, the brother of the Enkhael star was watched especially closely.
From conversations with the parent it turned out that Fedor is a star of the Sergey level, and underestimated in Russia by mediocre specialists. Many of our coaches fussed with him, and then they executed themselves for the fact that nothing happened. Paul Gardner, the new main “Loco", had enough of a couple of training sessions to conclude: the player is unsuitable. It is a pity that Gardner does not read Russian newspapers. Otherwise, he would give Fedorov Jr. a couple more chances.
