The head coach “Siberia” David Nemirovsky believes that his team is capable of playing attacking hockey in the style of Nizhny Novgorod “Torpedo” under the direction of Igor Larionov .
On Thursday, Sibir in the first official match of the Fonbet KHL Championship at the new Sibir-Arena beat Barys on penalties – 1:0. The winning shot from striker Taylor Beck.
“Why does Sibir have so many deletions?”
– Now all teams are deleted, new rules have been introduced in the league. Now we get a good lesson on how not to miss those fines. We try to remove deletions. And children should learn these rules as early as possible.
– Evaluate the form of Nikolai Prokhorkin, who did not spend the pre-season with the team.
He still needs time. In the first two matches, he played well on emotions. And everyone knows how he plays and what he can do with the puck. Especially when the quality of the ice is at the level.
– What is your situation with the goalkeepers?
– We had planned that Anton Krasotkin would play at least the first three matches at the start. We expect a lot from him and he plays very good hockey. We believe in him.
– Can Sibir become the new torpedo of the East, showing spectacular offensive hockey? By the way, you’ve been running Torpedo for a long time.
– I think so. We started playing faster. We have to work constantly, make quick decisions. This is the most important thing if you want to play from the attack. And if you’re slow, you’ll play defensively. In practice, we work on moving the puck faster – that’s the main point. Here is the first match (September 4) against Barys (5:4 OT), we were spectacular and from the attack you saw a lot of goals, – the correspondent reports Nemirovsky’s words.
