Offensive “Salavat Yulayev” Alexander Kadeikin told Sport24 which NHL teams he liked the most.
— Do you watch the NHL, the highlights?
— There are several teams that I like. Entire games are impossible to watch. The reflections are sometimes not revealing, you look and think: wow, cool. And then you turn on the games and you see that everything is a little different. You understand that there are no gods playing either.
– Especially in the third or fourth link.
— Yes, especially somewhere in the middle of the season, the teams that play floor hockey. Better watch some KHL games.
You mentioned Boston. Who else do you like in the NHL?
— I like system teams that are not lacking in creativity. When Lou Lamorello arrived at the Islanders, I really liked their team. He rebuilt the whole system so quickly in a year that the team that didn’t make the playoffs lost Tavares, managed to get into the top eight the next season, reached the second round. The Islanders used their system to beat strong opponents – that’s cool. I’ve always loved Pittsburgh since they won the Stanley Cup. Impressed with their game system. Now that he was in the national team, he worked with Sergei Viktorovich Gonchar.
Did he say anything interesting?
— Its game system is to help the players. You basically play hockey, do instinctive things, all five of you know what everyone else is going to do. However, you don’t think about it. In other words, such a system helps you to play. You’re constantly moving, you’re under pressure, you’re playing tight, you’re sticking to the puck. It’s just that it all adds up to one big puzzle.
Salavat Yulaev is 6th in the KHL Championship Eastern Conference Fonbet standings, with 69 points.
