Former coach of the Russian national ice hockey team Vladimir Krikunov called merit Igor Larionov the rise of Nizhny Novgorod “Torpedo” this season Fonbet Championship KHL .
– Such an unexpected shot from the “Torpedo” of Nizhny Novgorod this KHL season is a big part of Larionov’s merit. Igor is an experienced person, a star of the NHL and the USSR, he worked with various coaches, including abroad. Apparently, during his career, Larionov analyzed everything, passed by himself and is now progressing with his team. It’s great that he achieved such results in his first year with Torpedo, we can only wish him good luck. But I don’t think Nizhny Novgorod will be able to compete for the Gagarin Cup this year, they don’t have such a strong team to win this trophy. But they will fight in the playoffs.
Maybe if Larionov continues to climb the career ladder, he’ll leave to work in the NHL. Why not, maybe he has such a desire? He knows this league well and can train there, especially since there are specialists there who can be taken,” Krikunov told Metaratings.ru.
Under Larionov’s leadership, Torpedo is posting the best result in KHL history this season and is fourth in the Western Conference standings with 82 points in 60 KHL regular season games.
