Forward of a hockey club Norilsk Mikhail Anisine told that the quality of hockey in Russia hasn’t really improved lately, but pointed to the Nizhny Novgorod game “Torpedo” under the direction of Igor Larionov .
Anisin played in 343 KHL games and scored 172 points (84+88), adding 30 points (22+8) to them in 39 playoff games. As part of Dynamo Moscow, he won the Gagarin Cup in 2012. Over the summer, Anisin concluded a viewing contract and signed a full deal with new VHL club Norilsk.
– Many people say that the level of hockey does not increase much in our country. I would agree. Everyone has learned to run, but playing is something else.
I am very impressed with Igor Larionov, his “Torpedo” style of play. It’s a blast they made last season. The whole country supported Nizhny Novgorod. And after all, Larionov rightly says that hockey is not work, but play. You have to live it, create on ice. And watch how he reveals the guys no one believed in. After all, the team was drafted from the major leagues. Excellent passing game, combined hockey. Spectators who need goals and emotions go there, – Anisin told .
