FIRST GOAL PENALTIES
Vladislav Tretyak was asked the question: why in the NHL the teams that occupy the last places receive privileges during the draft, and with us they get the money. Of course, the leader did not like the wording. And he got nervous.
- The regulation for next year says that 16 teams should play in the Super League. We must act in accordance with the regulations. But at the same time, we give clubs a chance to stay in the super league.
In FHR, everything is very strange. Slightly, they refer to the rules of the competition. But when necessary, the rules are forgotten. Take, for example, the situation with Tractor and Lada. The regulation says that clubs that do not have an appropriate sports palace should be excluded from the Super League. Or one more point: according to the results of the past championship, two teams should leave the elite, but Amur remained inexplicably.
However, the clubs at the last meeting behaved very aggressively, although the council did not have the most charismatic figures of Russian hockey - Gennady Velichkin and Yuri Yakovlev. But even without them, we managed to get out of obscure, absurd fines. They say that this time the clubs were more than ever close to simply leaving the FHR. With the full support of the team owners.
SECOND GOAL. Legioners
Vladislav Tretyak, the opponent of the legionnaires, took a step back and allowed four ice hockey players, who do not have the right to play for the Russian national team, to put on the ice. It is possible, by the way, that the federation will not have to pay 1.5 million rubles for them, which goes unclear for what. The leaders proved that if the number of foreigners remains at the same level, then the salaries will increase markedly, and now everyone is just concerned about the reduction of payrolls (except for three or four teams). There was only a ban on foreign goalkeepers. But this rule will be introduced only in a year. And it is possible that after a season it will also be crossed out. Because for 20 teams you can’t find 40 good Russian goalkeepers. Even in the NHL are not local.
THIRD GOAL. CONTRIBUTIONS
Russian clubs will not pay obscure fees for participating in the championship. And from next season, they will also earn - depending on who takes what place in the championship. True, the question arises: if there are no contributions, then where will the funds for the arbitrators, inspectors and organizational aspects, for example, the work of the apparatus, be found? Yes, 5 million from the team was an overestimated amount, but you can’t do without money either. How will the Federation earn? On TV, where are the ratings for the national championship at a very low level? At the expense of sponsors, whom the mess in Russian hockey is not very happy? This issue remains to be discussed.
FOURTH GOAL. Veterans
The ceremony before the meeting turned into an embarrassment. FHR provided social assistance to Evgeny Mishakov, our famous veteran. Vladislav Tretyak was waiting for some thanks, but he heard the following.
- I was ashamed of the national team at the World Cup. Hockey players do not know how to play there, ”said Mishakov. - In our time, this was not.
Tretyak turned pale. He believes that the third place in the championship is his merit. It is merit, not loss of gold medals, as some believe.
CHANCE THREE
The regulation will be approved only at the executive committee of the Federal Property Fund on Monday. There have already been cases when they recommended one thing, but claimed a completely different one. So it's too early to celebrate.
MAIN DECISIONS
- In the super league, 20 teams will play.
- According to the results of the championship, one club will leave the elite.
- 16 teams will play in the playoffs.
