Mikhail Anisin, winner of the 2012 Gagarin Cup with Dynamo Moscow, appreciated the Yaroslavl player’s style of play “Lokomotiv” in the FONBET KHL Championship.
Lokomotiv, with 52 points in 30 matches, leads the KHL Western Conference standings.
— I wonder what you think of the Lokomotiv’s style? Many people don’t like it.
— Recently in the KHL there are more and more offensive teams that do not close and do not play defensively. Yaroslavl residents preach hockey, which was part of the Super League in the 90s and early 2000s. Passive style, waiting for your opponent’s mistakes. It’s difficult to watch such hockey, but it’s not easy for hockey players to play either. Hockey is a game, but with this style it turns into work. And hockey players are tired, so defeats are inevitable. Success in the regular season is one thing, we will see what happens in the playoffs,” Anisin said according to RB Sport.
