Former head coach of the Russian national hockey team Vladimir Pluschev commenting on about the striker’s low playing time Vladimir Tarasenko V Ottawa Senators said that now not everyone treats athletes with Russian passports objectively.
During the current NHL regular season, Tarasenko played three games for Ottawa, in which he scored 4 (1+3) points with an average playing time of 13:28. Last season, in 38 games for St. Louis, he averaged 17:31 on the field and 15:55 in 31 games for the Rangers. This summer, Tarasenko signed a one-year contract with Ottawa.
— Volodka is a typical guy. But there may be questions of a completely different nature. Not everyone treats guys with a Russian passport objectively. Maybe Tarasenko ended up on a team where the coaches weren’t too happy to see him for whatever reason. If a person is consistently scoring points, but is ambushed, it is probably not for gaming purposes.
Tarasenko will soon be 32, it is not a critical age. Hope everything goes well. You never know what the reasons are, it’s difficult to judge.
Volodka also started in my youth team in the third or fourth line, but after the Glinka tournament I promoted him to the first line. For the moments I gave him on the ice, he proved everything. He had enough time, the young people almost always play on par. Tarasenko simply proved himself and secured a place in the top three. “He is not a muslin young lady, he will not give up and will not be offended by the whole world,” Plyushchev told .
Last season in the NHL regular season, Tarasenko scored 18 goals and made 32 assists in 69 games with St. Louis and the Rangers.
