The Head Coach”kunlun » Ireland said his team this season is competitive in the Fonbet KHL Championship.
In the regular season, Kunlun scored 49 points in 68 games, finishing 10th in the Western Conference and not making the playoffs.
“On the one hand, it was a serious challenge for Kunlun. The main problem was that we started preparing for the season late. This happened for reasons beyond our control, but we needed to catch up with most teams. Nevertheless, in August-September we did a good job and managed to compensate for the lack of normal pre-season training. During the championship, we had to add players to the squad, everyone saw that it was good for the team. We gradually added play and competitiveness. We managed to get several blowout wins, and when we lost, we tried to force a fight, giving up only one puck. In general, it can be said that Kunlun was competitive at the KHL level.
As for the formation of the team, it was also a challenge for us. Many found themselves in a new environment, some did not know much about the KHL. And it was necessary to rally this team, to ensure that it had character. I think we have made great progress in this direction. An important part is the connection with the environment, in our case with Mytishchi, with the fans, no matter how many. We have carried out various actions, charitable and recreational. We tried to be part of Mytishchi’s life. And we have, I think, succeeded, – the correspondent of quotes Ireland.
