Agent Alexey Dementyev believes that in the current playoffs of the Fonbet KHL Championship, clubs are returning to the offensive style of Soviet hockey.
— At the end of the first round of the playoffs, what struck me and what I am very happy about is that two-thirds of the goals were scored on moving attacks. It’s about a quick counter-attack, a quick puck play, and a loss to the goal. This is the most important asset we can see in hockey today. Because in positional play, the teams developed their abilities in attack and defense very well. And at the moment, the defense is superior to the attack, and few goals have been scored thanks to the positional attack. The fact that we are returning to the roots of our Soviet hockey – to moving attacks and showing the advantages of fast play, I like that most of all,” Dementyev said, as quoted by RB Sport.
