Honored Russia coach Yuri Novikov commented on the performance of the Vegas striker Ivan Barbasheva this season, noting that the hockey player is becoming a superstar.
Vegas beat Dallas in the NHL Western Conference Finals Series (3-0). Barbashev, 27, in the current Stanley Cup, played 14 games in which he scored 13 (5+8) points.
– What is the meaning of champions and scorers? The meaning is in the development of hockey and in personal examples. We have already talked about Ovechkin and Malkin, but what about guys who do not have large dimensions? I can’t help mentioning Romanov. Absolutely fearless defender, possessing no murderous dimensions. It will lie under the tank without hesitation. We say the same of Namestnikov and Dadonov.
Now Barbashev opens. He derives joy from hockey, showing courage, courage and bravery. Vanya is becoming a superstar and we are happy about that. This is an example for guys and hockey players who do not have large physical dimensions. Some of the children will have the prospect of becoming Malkin and Ovechkin, while others will have the prospect of becoming Dadonov and Barbashev. Very happy for our guys! I wish them victories, – quote the words of Novikov “RB Sport”.
