Honored coach of Russia Yuri Gailik said that for the Russian striker of the “Rangers” Artemy Panarina and Tampa forward Nikita Kucherov, the clubs created all conditions for a productive match.
Kucherov became the NHL’s top scorer in the regular season and won his second Art Ross Trophy in his career: he had 144 points (44 goals and 100 assists). Panarin took fourth place in the list of scorers, with 120 points (49+71).
– The fact is that in these clubs the game is designed for Kucherov and Panarin to score. A single player doesn’t decide anything, this can’t happen. Kucherov is neither Kharlamov nor Maltsev. Just like Panarin. But the team created the conditions in which they scored. Because if a player knows how to score and pass, you have to give him this opportunity. That’s all.
—And all five of them work for that?
– The whole team.
— Weren’t you surprised that Panarin opened up so much in the NHL?
– No. I say: “underneath” there are people who give him freedom. When the site is cleared for you, you go to the site and give results. In the NHL, they try to free “artists” from unnecessary tasks.
— Don’t you be forced to “carry the piano”?
– For what? Does anyone make Ovechkin “carry a piano”? He must score. This is how the Washington game system is built.
– But Panarin is not as powerful as Ovechkin. Sushinsky, Tkachev and his ilk did not play in the NHL.
— I said to Sukhoi one day: “Where have you gone?” Are you crazy?”
—How is he different from Panarin?
— Panarin was able to reveal his best qualities with the Rangers. Sushinsky did not have such an opportunity in Minnesota, ”quotes RB Sport Gailik.
