Former defender of KHL clubs Nikita Shchitov reacted to the head coach’s comments “Kunlun” Mikhail Kravets that his team’s goal is to win the Gagarin Cup.
Last season, Kunlun finished 9th in the KHL Western Conference and failed to reach the playoffs.
— I think the coach has no right to speak differently. He cannot say that the team’s goal is simply to qualify for the playoffs or to pass the first round. Kravets is doing the right thing by setting the Gagarin Cup as Kunlun’s goal. He sets maximum goals. This should be done in any club: even in Kunlun, even in a newcomer to the league. Since the team plays in the KHL, the goal should be to win the Gagarin Cup. Otherwise, there is no point in going on the ice, RB Sport quoted Shchitov as saying.
Team China has not reached the playoffs since 2017.
