Goalkeeper “Avant-garde » Ilya Proskuriakov spoke about his expectations for the upcoming KHL season.
The Omsk team will start the new championship without its two leaders, strikers Vladimir Tkachev and Reed Boucher, who are injured.
— Last year we failed to win. A new season is a new opportunity to realize the plans and goals that have been set for us.
— Do you see the potential of this team to achieve these goals?
– Certainly. Avangard is a top club, it couldn’t be otherwise.
— Will the injuries to leaders Vladimir Tkachev and Reed Boucher have an impact?
“The best team has to cope with difficult situations when there is no leader, achieve victories and score points,” Proskuryakov was quoted as saying by RB Sport.
Last KHL season, Avangard finished second in the East in the regular season and lost in the second round of the playoffs to Lokomotiv with a score of 3–4 in the series.
The new season of the FONBET Continental Hockey League Championship begins on September 3.
