World hockey champion Maxime Sushinski does not believe that Cherepovets Severstal and Nizhny Novgorod “Torpedo” will be able to successfully participate in the Continental Hockey League playoffs (KHL ).
Severstal, with 76 points, is in fifth place in the Western Conference standings, two points ahead of sixth-place Torpedo.
— In the West, almost all clubs can compete for the Cup? There are some good, very brilliant teams there. Dynamo Moscow is working well. Lokomotiv has now slowed down, but I think the players were overloaded before the playoffs. Igor Nikitin is already preparing for the Gagarin Cup. Spartak is on the move, SKA is on the move. The torpedo is very good. Severstal is also a difficult puzzle to solve, I tell you. Of course, I do not believe that Nizhny Novgorod and Cherepovets will climb high, but I think they will spoil the blood, ”Sushinsky is quoted in the Championship.
Fonbet The KHL championship will end on February 26, the playoffs will begin on March 1.
