“At Ak Bars and Avangard, the players demonstrated to the point of absurdity. They lost in the playoffs at home with a score of 0: 7… They did not listen after the first match, and this is the result. No one has canceled the leadership role. Who will take it? Take responsibility? It’s not just about signing documents, but about being fully involved.
At Ak Bars, did the players also play a role in the departure of the coach, as in Omsk? Obviously, the players simply did not agree to play according to the tactics proposed by the coaches. They did not protest, but their play was not enthusiastic. Without energy, nothing will work on the ice,” Pliushchev noted in an interview with Tatar-inform.
Michal Kravets was fired from the post of head coach of Avangard after the team lost the second match of the series against Lokomotiv with a score of 0:7. Sergei Zvyagin was appointed in his place, with whom the club extended his contract for two years after the end of the playoffs. Avangard lost to Lokomotiv in the seventh match with a score of 0:2 and finished the season.
