Commentator Philip Maykov, author of his own YouTube channel “HockeyPhil” and participant of the popular podcast “Slippery Ice”, assessed in his commentary for socialbites.ca CSKA Moscow’s chances of a successful performance in the debut season of the Continental Hockey League after an intense transfer campaign.
“For example, CSKA is interesting, which brought together a group of soldiers, because to think that these guys are weak players because they could not get a place in the NHL is, of course, wrong. Because the same Iskakov, in my opinion, if he had suffered and stayed, I think he would have deserved this chance, he would have taken advantage of it. But he did not want to wait. For example, I understand him very well. And this is probably the right decision. The same with Afanasyev, the same with Okhotyuk, the same with Prosvetov. By the way, this is about goalkeepers. Prosvetov is one of the main candidates for the title of the best,” says Maikov.
In the KHL regular championship that started at the beginning of September, CSKA, led by Ilya Vorobyov, who has been at the helm of the team since the new season, is in sixth place in the Western Conference, having collected five points from five matches.
