Head coach “Torpedo” Igor Larionov after defeating “Kunlunem” said that it would be great if hockey players scored several goals thanks to the passes of the goalkeeper of the Nizhny Novgorod club Ivan Kulbakova who started the attacks well.
On Monday, Torpedo defeated Kunlun (4:0) in a KHL regular season home game, Kulbakov stopped 25 shots and played the first clean sheet of the season.
— Unfortunately, Ivan Kulbakov was not credited with two assists. He played very well not only as a goalkeeper, but also as a player.
– I told Nikolai Khabibulin (Torpedo coach – Editor’s note) after the first or second half that Kulbakov probably watched a lot of good modern football, where goalkeepers launch attacks. He was the third defender to launch the attacks. It would be great if one or two goals were scored thanks to his passes. But you can’t get carried away with that. It has to be on time and at the right moment,” Larionov said, according to the correspondent.
Torpedo has scored 15 points in 13 matches and ranks fourth in the Western Conference standings.
