famous trainer Vladimir Krikunov says “” as an Olympic champion Pavel Datsyuk will continue to work in Russian hockey.
Earlier Thursday, Datsyuk announced on that he was considering announcing his retirement as a hockey player.
In 2000, Vladimir Krikunov took the injured, non-player Datsyuk to Ak Bars, where for several months the striker was helped to develop a stiff leg after surgery. Thus, the future career of one of the best centre-forwards of the beginning of the 21st century was saved.
“Even before last season, it became clear to me that Datsyuk would finish,” Krikunov said in a conversation with a correspondent. – Time takes its toll, and Pasha’s career turned out cool, because he won everything possible: the World Championship, the Olympics, he won the Stanley Cup and the Gagarin Cup.
– It’s a shame that we won’t see Pavel again at the professional level.
“Of course, he has a unique talent. Here the work of the hands, and of the head, the sense of distance is simply colossal. I don’t even know which of the modern centre-forwards can be placed next to him. But it’s time to move on to another job.
– Can Datsyuk become a coach?
– Difficult question. Pasha always helped young people, he did not refuse advice. But being a coach is something else. Well, he himself said he wanted to be more comfortable with his family. And with coaching, you will stay at home? But Pacha does not quit hockey! He already supervises, how to say, the team of the Sverdlovsk region. He says: I’ve watched the last few years, when I was playing, youth hockey guys go to VHL and don’t add anything, they don’t grow. I want to try to make sure they come to the KHL as ready-made players. He started a good and necessary thing, let him try.
