Former director “Tractors” Andrey Balandin appreciated the game of the former club hockey player Valeria Nichushkina behind “Colorado” this NHL season.
During last season’s playoffs, Nichushkin missed several games for “personal reasons.” In the current regular NHL championship, the Russian forward played 24 matches, in which he scored 21 (10+11) points.
“I think the whole thing with the girl was a provocation.” The people there were literate, they were able to understand what it was, so there was no disqualification. Valera is a great guy, he survived. He is 28 years old, in his prime and in his prime. He’s been playing in the NHL for a long time, gaining experience and maturing. We will only be happy if he continues to play good hockey and score goals,” Balandin said, as quoted by RB Sport.
Nichushkin was born in Chelyabinsk and from 2012 to 2013 played for the local Traktor.
