“Torpedo” managed to achieve a good result thanks to the coaching staff, the Olympic hockey champion, vice-president for the development of the KHL, told Metaratings.ru Valery Kamenski .
Torpedo under Igor Larionov takes second place in the KHL Championship Western Conference Fonbet standings with 82 points in 59 games, 11 points behind leaders SKA.
– This result was obtained thanks to the work of the technical staff. Management work. It’s great that great hockey players become good coaches. The hockey they show reminds me of the hockey we played in the USSR. It’s good that Igor was able to convey this to the guys. New style in the KHL. Now many teams play an offensive style of hockey. Unite the guys, create a good team. And this result.
Will it be possible to keep the leaders? Obviously the season is going well and they will probably want to get more.
– How to keep? Need to talk. Guys have to understand that they open up there, they play there, they have fun there. Money, of course, is also the main thing, but no one will guarantee you that in other teams you will enjoy the game the same way as today. It is their decision.
– Will the team be strong enough for the playoffs? After all, the team is quite young.
— The coach has huge experience of playing in the playoffs, he played himself and knows how to win. He transmits his experience, which he himself lived and felt. Are they strong enough? I can not tell. Again, it depends on who they are playing with. There are a lot of nuances, but Larionov and the people who help him figure it all out.
