hockey specialist Leonid Weisfeld in an interview with expressed the opinion that players CSKA influences post-champion syndrome, and also assessed the actions of Army team goaltenders early in the KHL season.
In nine regular season matches, CSKA won five times and lost four times. The difference between goals scored and conceded in these matches is 27-26. Sergei Fedorov’s side, which won the Gagarin Cup last season, now sit sixth in the Western Conference.
– Obviously, CSKA stumbled at the start. What’s wrong with the defending KHL champion?
“It’s really a surprise. Because both in the last games of the “pre-season” and in the first games of the championship, CSKA looked so powerful that they were directly impressive. It seems that the team met later than everyone but it was in perfect order. But I think the post-champion syndrome still affects the Moscow army team. Well, their goalkeepers, of course , are not of that level now.
– The current CSKA goalkeepers do not show the class of the championship?
– They can’t show it, it’s not their level.
– It turns out that the army team needs to reinforce this line?
– I don’t know what the club’s management thinks about it, but I’ll think about it. And not now, but long before.
CSKA’s goalkeeping line consists of Swede Adam Reideborn, Russians Alexander Sharychenkov and Daniil Dorneanu.
In July, Ivan Fedotov, who won the Gagarin Cup with CSKA and was recognized as the best goalkeeper in the previous season, was drafted into the army. Now he serves in a unit in Severodvinsk. In May, the goaltender signed a contract with the Philadelphia Flyers club in the NHL.
