Advance “Torpedo” Vasily Atanasov believes that “Seagull” will once again be the hidden favorite for the Kharlamov Cup.
Atanasov has scored 26 points (13+13) in 27 games this season. The Torpedo forward was the first to be chosen by fans for the KHL All-Star Game, which will be held in St. Petersburg in December.
— There is a theory that young people from “Chaika” should play in the old hockey stadium of Nizhny Novgorod, so that when the city has a new arena, the guys will be encouraged to get there and take a step into their career. Do you agree with this?
— I recently played in the MHL myself. Of course, young people also want to play in the new stadium, so many fans will also gather for Chaika’s matches. So that each game has its own incredible atmosphere.
— Will people go to the “youth team”?
– Certainly! Remember what kind of crowd gathered at our playoff games. How long did it take for tickets to sell out? In three minutes ?
– But these are the Kharlamov Cup qualifiers.
“They’ll still make the playoffs.” And a lot of KHL, if this happens, will be able to play for Chaika – Silaev, Artamonov and Vinogradov. So “Chaika” will again be a hidden favorite,” Atanasov said in an interview with .
