Public official and well-known hockey expert Leonid Weisfeld believes the goalkeeper Yaroslav Askarov you need to relaunch your career abroad.
Askarov spent last season at SKA, where he received very little training. After the KHL championship ended, the 20-year-old goaltender signed a three-year rookie contract with NHL club Nashville.
“Askarov needs to relaunch his career,” Weisfeld said. – So many praises have been sung to him that involuntarily you begin to follow him closely. But the special celebrity game is not visible. I remember only one match (when SKA played against Spartak in Moscow), where Askarov showed the level that is expected of him and that is constantly talked about. At the same time, there were many games where Yaroslav acted very poorly.
– Do you have an answer – why did Askarov practice so little in Russia?
He didn’t have much practice because he played badly. You are a young goalkeeper, they give you a chance. Don’t miss, grab it! And I remember the game against Riga. SKA consistently dominated and barely picked up an overtime victory. Because Askarov, like a vacuum cleaner, missed everything.
– It was possible to send it to the VHL.
– That’s how they sent him. And that there were some exploits? If you’re a star goalkeeper with potential, you need to coach the team every game. And it wasn’t.
– What are Askarov’s chances in Nashville?
It all depends on his game. Shesterkin went to the farm club, and now he is part of the symbolic team of the season. And no one has any questions! Because you have to make claims against yourself, and not look for reasons on the side – why am I not playing?
