Inarticulate at the beginning of the season, “Salavat Yulaev” took home CSKA Moscow, who in 4 games last suffered four defeats. Down-the-line.com describes a meeting in which no overtime to decide the winner and could not …

CSKA in this off-season and regular season is already in the course of doing all that we may boldly say: “All right!”. The general manager of the club Sergei Nemchinov finally satisfied that the work is the head coach – it's not his job. CSKA finally decided on what was supposed to do a few years ago – to invite a foreign expert. Such was found in Riga, his name – Julius Shupler, and for his powerful back three last season in “Dinamo”, in which it recommended the Slovak best. Three years in a row Shupler wrung from Riga everything I could – and it is not in itself a powerful composition. Can long list of his services to the team, but confine ourselves to one fact: November 18 last year, Julius was named Rigan year for his contribution to shaping a positive image of the city of Riga abroad. A gray-haired mentor was completely surprised by such an honor, but the other little surprised – Slovak deserved award, as yet earned.

Shupler stuffed a tattoo after victory over “Slovan” in the playoff series, dyed his hair to the dispute and drove to Riga on a white horse dressed as Napoleon once lost a bet Sandis Ozolins, breaking out of Gagarin Cup SKA. This is the coach of CSKA and perfectly suited: instead of platitudes and syplyaschego and regularly saying “we do not work, we will find out the cause,” Sergei Nemchinov army stood at the helm terribly energetic coach with the most insane peppercorn, which allows you to do great things. Shupler with beautifully versed in the tactical plan, and worked overseas in the junior leagues and is famous for his work with youth.

But of course one coach CSKA did not stop. Solidly entrenched defense: the club joins defender Alexander Guskov, stayker and Jacob Rylov and Eugene Ryasensky, already invoked in the squad for Euro Hockey Tour. Returned capricious Sergei Shirokov, ironed a single season in Vancouver (or rather, in its farm club), signed contracts with strong legionnaires Tomasz severe and Niklas Persson. Throw in an experienced goalkeeper and Alexei Badyukova Rastislav Mill – here's the really strong team, which may well compete for the semi-finals of the conference.

“During last year's tour, tough guys,” Phoenix “Paul Brandon Sugden Bissonet praised, but about Vero said simply:” This is a little cuckoo “.

But the main

transfers CSKA provernuli later: he was picked up by the remainder of the contract without Vero Darcy, who had already spent in the club six matches. Canadian statistics are impressive: 6 games, a rating of “3″, zero points, but 30 penalty minutes. Something like this, and we waited, but hardly Vero buy for, so Darcy scored three goals in every game. Darcy scores: half to death those who accept his challenge. Darcy attacker: those who dare to anger than anything Canadian. Darcy rezultativen: it strikes very often result in serious injury. Darcy attacking player, he is always attacking each and every previously off his leggings. He wrung his defender “Severstal” Lyamina already in the second minute of the game, he beat all the young and old alike. He attacked even Jagr, making it a memorable time in “meetings of graduates” in the games against the “Vanguard.” During last year's tour, tough guys, “Phoenix” Paul Brandon Sugden Bissonet praised, but about Vero said simply: “This is a little cuckoo.” If at the end of the season in the “points” in Vero will be something other than zero, it will be great – but they took a Canadian first and foremost to protect its leaders, and he copes with it.

“In 14 games,” Salavat “scored 19 points – and, frankly, the schedule of” Metallurg “from Novokuznetsk (which” Salavat “in the last match losing run dry well), but reigning champions league.”

And leaders in the team there. Alexei Yashin has not won anything since 1993 years, still gets alimony from the “Islanders”, but still in demand in Russia. CSKA drove Yashin on the examinations, checking his knees, and negotiated the contract – and that he was here, in the game. Something, but to approach it is now not everyone can: guys know – somewhere out there on the bench CSKA sits Darcy “a little cuckoo,” Mero, who will not stop nor judge, nor the coach nor his players.

Before the season with CSKA modestly talked about how they would like to go on schedule “Salavat”. Dreams come true, but not because of the fact that CSKA is so good, but more because of the weakness Ufimtsev. In 14 games, “Salavat” scored 19 points – and, frankly, the schedule of “Metallurg” from Novokuznetsk (which “Salavat” in the last match losing run dry well), but reigning champions league. CSKA also now has 18 points after 13 games – and if we talk about the lost, the army team ahead.

In the last game

Alexander Radulov was quite different: he was constantly in motion, his energy rippled in the eyes, and the vast majority of dangerous moments “Salavat” became possible after its action. All this is perhaps that was not reflected in the outcome of efficiency – in the “goals” in Ufimtsev was zero, and Radulov quietly scolded himself something under his breath. But there is a positive move.

Before the match, players

“Salavat” (both nynenie and have passed already) become a real orchestra. “No we have no conflict – just do not” is “- Maxim Sushinsky deduced falsetto.” Do not over-dramatize the situation, “- bass caught defender Dmitri Kalinin.” Salavat “handle and victory will come to him!” – Echoed St. Petersburg's Norwegian Thoresen them. So be on the ice, a chorus. Match, among other things, promised to be a battle of two opposites. Ufimtsev come in second place in the league for the implementation of the majority, scoring one out of four times (CSKA at the 10th place), but the third guest on the game in the minority: 90% of CSKA in the minority left the gate dry. “Salavat” on the game in the minority, it is terrible to say, 19th. Spit promised to find the stone, but just which one?

From the starting whistle

owners like to break the chain, for the first 2 minutes of the match creating three real possibilities for opening an account – and if the two points it would have been brought before the throw, then Rastislav Be sure to vygreb the puck out of the gate. But “Salavat” all the forces to storm the gates thrown army – an impression that is the last minute and the hosts lose in one washer. Having started to attack the entire quintet without regard to their gates, to the owners immediately poured a bucket of cold water: it is Alexei Yashin, beating with Shirokov, strikes have an empty corner of the goal – 0-1. Army troops of fans celebrating the puck rapidly, drowning the dangling silence at the stadium, which begins to break through the whistle.

“Match, among other things, promised to be a battle of two opposites.”

If you think that the owners have started to play more cautiously, then you are mistaken. The game moves back to the gate of the camp, and 2 minutes later, the score is equal to: Alexander Radulov throw it out of the defender to the near corner caught the goalkeeper off guard army. Soon the army team and make removal begins checking: what is more – the majority of the owners or the destruction of the advantages of the guests? The result is the chaotic: the guests stood in the minority, but after only 3 seconds after returning to the ice Yevgeniy Kurbatov for the second time gate of the camp burned a red light. Goal of equal composition, but in fact had not Kurbatov back and help her. That's up to you, who's stronger.

Scored second washer, owners calm down. The last 9 minutes of the first period look much duller, almost no real moments, but because by the end of the period did not change – 2:1.

Start of the second period is exactly the same as the ending of the first – boring, dull and uninteresting. At the 29th minute Alexander Guskov earns removal, but instead of implementing the most “Salavat” quick calls formulations Oleg Saprykin receives a small penalty for dangerous play vysokopodnyatoy stick. Oleg barely has time to return to the ice, as Sergey Shirokov gaining second point in the match, breaking Vitaly Kolesnik. Orientation meeting for the last second period Ufimtsev again get the chance to realize the majority, but CSKA confidently assign a threat to their goal – 2:2 after the second period.

“The beginning of the second period is exactly the same as the ending of the first – boring, dull and uninteresting.”

Third period particularly lively in the game does not make all the same a lot of errors, accurate game and minimum throws. 5 minutes before the end of the third period, “Salavat” receives a majority, but once again calls formulations – Vitaly Atyushov for delay arms sent to the penalty box to box. Sergei Gaiduchenko, even in the first period, replacing Stan, frankly boring, Vitaly Kolesnik also comes into play occasionally.

It is entirely goes to overtime, but when the time is getting ready to go at the last minute, the hosts once again get silly removal. Can survive, but the first 60 seconds of overtime would have to play in the format of “three to four.” Pleasant fact is also present: after three consecutive defeats Ufimtsev gain the same first points. Better than nothing.

No

60 seconds followed. CSKA most accurately realized: Yashin gave the puck Shirokov, he otpasoval Zubov – Ilya locked at the far post, crossing the puck into the empty corner of the goal, do not have time to stop Blatyak.

Of the five goals

only one was filled in Powerplays – decisive. CSKA threw her – a team playing in front of 19th place on the implementation of the excess. A “Salavat” their chances and did not use. Found a cut diamond.
