Deputy head coach of Nizhny Novgorod “Torpedo” Mikhail Vasiliev, commenting on the club’s 1000th game in the KHL, said on that the team’s coaches and management are striving to improve the team’s results.
At the moment the Nizhny Novgorod team is playing an away match against Moscow “Spartacus” as part of the Fonbet KHL Championship. This game is the 1000th for Torpedo in the KHL. On this occasion, Igor Larionov’s team plays in the form of the 2008/09 season.
— The 1000th match for such a legendary club is of course a result. We would call Torpedo legendary because he participated in all the championships.
— Are Larionov, Vasiliev and Kharlamov moving “Torpedo” to where it was in Soviet times?
– There is truth in these words. We said from the first year of our work that we wanted to promote spectacular hockey. At that time there were great players like Alexei Mishin, Yuri Fedorov, Mikhail Presnyakov, Kokorin, Varnakov, Skvortsov. We name names who glorified not only Gorky and Nizhny Novgorod hockey, but they played at the world level. We strive to achieve this and want to move the club in the right direction,” Vasiliev said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match!” on the channel.
