Most of the game is no good
Nothing new. Of course, in this team there are no players from the NHL, there are no representatives of Ak Bars and Magnitogorsk Metallurg. But these hockey players have been training since April 3. And from the 8th - and under the leadership of Vyacheslav Bykov (including a trip to the theater). Yes, it sometimes takes years to test the implementation of the numerical advantage, but still at least something could be remembered. Any simple combinations. In the first game, four times our team played in the majority, but failed to create anything.
Something must be done with defense
Also not surprising. Andrei Khomutov, recently appointed to the post of head coach of the Ministry of Internal Affairs HC, said that the Swiss can claim 3-4 place in Moscow. It may be so, but it’s not in the composition that went against the Russian team, where there were no two players from the NHL, but nine youth players played.
However, the Swiss still had the audacity not only to reach the gates of Vasily Koshechkin, but also to quit, but not once. In general, there was a complete feeling that they had transferred our team. At least the owners made an indecent amount of attempts to hit the gates of Koshechkin. So we are waiting for the winner of the Ottawa – Pittsburgh Enkhael pair to decide as soon as possible. Volchenkov or Potter definitely will not be superfluous. Of the defense players, we note Grebeshkov and Korneev. The rest of the first match has more questions.
Power struggle is not a trump card of the Russian team
Alas and ah. Most often, after the clashes, our guys fell on the ice. But, we repeat once again, an experimental team played against Bykov.
Vasily Koshechkin copes
And that is bread. True, at first the Lada goalkeeper was nervous for some reason, but then he pulled himself together and saved the team several times. He mastered, began to help out. Rather, take your throws. He was a little lucky that the owners did not risk getting close to such a giant, preferring to throw from medium and long distances.
What did the attackers remember
Kharitonov - Happy - Mikhnov
Kharitonov, as always, held the puck a lot in the corners and pulled the opponent, who was dizzy from the energy of Dynamo, and, most importantly, from the meaninglessness of these actions. The happy one acted extremely useful, and Mikhnov, in order to stand out with something, did not have enough mutual understanding with partners. Although a couple of points Alex had.
Shafigulin - Booth - Simakov
The working link has almost done its job. Their task is to exhaust the opponent. Exhausted. Simakov, by the way, was impeccable in the programs.
Mozyakin - Leshchev - Artyukhin
The best link in the Russian team. Mozyakin scored a goal (but still did not score twice). Leshchev retained the habit of giving sharp passes. Artyukhin turned out to be a little out of place. In Yaroslavl, he was more of a destroyer, and here we found creative partners. Only by the end of the second period, Eugene realized what was required of him. And in the third - he scored.
Nepryaev - Kuryanov - Zhmakin
The link was not remembered by anything. Although the Lada player made an unpleasant sawn-off shot in the second period, because of which the Swiss almost scored a goal.
