Famous Russian coach Fedor Kanareikin, in a comment to socialbites.ca, talked about which clubs were discovered at the beginning of the season in the Continental Hockey League, highlighting Moscow Spartak, Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo and Tolyatti Lada.
“Spartak” – the opening of the season. Spartak has been playing well and consistently so far. We, Spartak fans, are happy with this. Opening the season for the second year in a row, Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo continues to progress without lowering the bar after its breakthrough last year. Frankly, I don’t know what to attribute Lada’s success to! This is either a decline in the average level of our league or a kind of breakthrough in the East. A team that came together piece by piece at the last minute shows such a result! There are three teams here that I will keep an eye on,” said Kanareikin.
While “Spartak” ranks second in the Western Conference by collecting 40 points in 28 matches, “Torpedo” ranks third with 36 points and even “Lada” is the leader of the Eastern Conference with 39 points after 30 matches played by the team. From Togliatti..
