Vice-President of the KHL Valery Kamensky appreciated the availability “Spartak” for the season.
At the end of the last regular season, Spartak took fourth place in the Western Conference standings. In the playoffs, the Moscow club reached the quarterfinals, losing in six games to the future winner of the Gagarin Cup, Metallurg.
— Do you feel that the team is too dependent on Goldobin and Poryadin?
— I think that Spartak creates a team that can play with or without leaders. There are different tactics and coaching plans. Hockey is a contact game, no one is safe from injuries. I don’t think that only Poryadin and Goldobin are the leaders of the club. The team has talented young guys and there are guys of mid-level. Spartak is a balanced team with a good composition. The team has remained the same since last year and has become even stronger.
— Don’t you have the impression that the “red-whites” have a short bench?
“There are promising young guys in Khimik who can already play 10-15 games for Spartak during a season and compete,” Kamensky was quoted as saying by Metaratings.ru.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
