“It’s a difficult start. The teams are still struggling to get into shape, there are a lot of boring games, goals are scored on vacation, half of the games with only two or three goals.
| Maxim Rybin: “Kuznetsov is a decoration not only for SKA, but for the entire KHL” |
The best example here is our native Spartak. A brilliant victorious match with CSKA with six goals – and a boring day later with a defeat to Sochi with a goal in the 60th minute. The same goes for Dynamo Moscow, SKA, Kazan, etc. What can we talk about if “Torpedo” barely scores two goals in two home games, and “Amur” has so far traveled the road without a single goal?
Our league and our teams need to think about it. In Soviet times, if two or three goals were scored per game, hockey would have been cancelled as a sport. Well, who needs this Finnish fuss – with echelons of defence and counterattacks?” Russia-Hockey quotes Kozhevnikov.
