St. Petersburg Striker S.K.A. Pavel Dedunov said that the club’s management had every right to expect the team to win the Gagarin Cup in the new season.
– A management with such sponsors, such a selection of masters should hope for nothing other than winning the cup. Every hockey player who comes here must be ready for this, there should be no pressure,” Dedunov said on .
– Expectations are the highest, we are aiming for the cup, that’s the main objective, but there is a lot of work to do, a long regular season. We will try to give 100% in every game, we will see what happens, – said SKA striker Sergei Tolchinsky .
SKA will kick off the KHL regular season on September 2 with an away game against Dynamo Moscow. Last season, two-time Gagarin Cup winners SKA reached the Western Conference final, where they lost to eventual trophy winners CSKA Moscow 2-4 in the series.
