Former head coach of the Russian national team Vladimir Pluschev believes that the decision to invite Russian specialist Oleg Znarok to the Philadelphia coaching staff is logical.
Previously, Znarok joined the Flyers’ headquarters, serving as a European hockey player development specialist and scouting assistant.
— Perhaps he was invited to the club as a scout for Europe and Russia. If so, such a decision is quite appropriate. This is a normal phenomenon, since Znarka has extensive experience working in Russia and good knowledge of hockey players. As far as I know, before inviting a new hockey player, NHL teams collect a lot of information about him. If Znarok does just that, then the decision seems normal and logical. He will analyze the game of young hockey players and give them characteristics. His knowledge, experience and work in Russia are suitable for this, “Plyushchev was quoted as saying by Metaratings.ru.
Previously, Znarok worked with the national teams of Latvia and Russia, as well as HC MVD, Dynamo Moscow, SKA, Spartak and Ak Bars, and since 2022 he has been without a club. In 2018, with the Russian team, he became the winner of the Olympic Games, and four years earlier, the world champion.
