With grief in half “Salavat Yulaev” interrupted his series of failures. How much hurt “bitten” Ufimtsev “Lion” and that was the decisive factor behind happy to host a match? This was not only – in the material Sport . ru .

a long time, “Leo” remained in a small cage, out of which obscured the broad backs of the Czech federation leaders. Originally the club was based precisely in Hradec Kralove Czech Republic, but the leadership of the local federation peacefully and without alternative, not looking up from their more important affairs, said “no” and locked the cage on the second lock.

author of “Leo” serves Czech hockey agent Jaroslav Zidek, and two businessmen from Carlsbad with typical Czech and last names: Sergei Zaitsev and Roman Slavcho. After hearing from local federations ban, the authors of the project over the last month agreed to address the club on the territory of neighboring Slovakia. The local federation was more accommodating, and the City gave the club an arena for performances, taking for this transfer one euro. Now think how much paper money had to draw in Russia, and for how much the club would have provided an arena, if at all granted. A league-it is one.

In general, cells from the “Lion” was released. But here, the emotions did not initially pleased: Instead of the terrible lion we first saw the ragged cat that ran fearfully from the neighborhood cats. Running, but howled and whined not.

successfully lost five matches starting the KHL, “The Lion” took the usual niche Novokuznetsk “Metallurg” at the bottom of the standings. As soon as remembered by Ladislav Nagy, who came to settle in the offseason, “Severstal”, but there was denial – there is this good enough without it, the assurances of some participants in the guest of the club. A “Leo” quietly signed Nagy, and during the season began slowly to grow roots on the hockey map CHL. Instead unpedigreed cat who settles silently in the corner, trying not to attract attention (notice the animals pozubastee – kicked out yet), has yet to emerge not a lion, a young and brash young lion, that growing up as long as claws had already created some of his roommate beating.

If

thrown out and forgotten (as did, perhaps, in the Slovakian team) the first five games the team in the CHL, a further impressive: in the next eight meetings Slovaks scored 18 points, but it's more than two points per game – the leader of the schedule the championship. Already whip their sides OHK Dynamo Riga and received his “Siberia”, beaten dry Novokuznetsk “Metallurg”, but this team is now quite a strong – ask “Salavat”, there is confirm.

last two meetings of the “Lion” has spent away from the noise pogastrolirovav in Tatarstan: defeated 4-1 two-time Gagarin Cup, and for dessert in the open hockey capped Nizhnekamsk “Neftekhimik” (5:3). Media headlines were full of expressions like “Lion's claws pierced the leopard,” and all the latest non-believers in the Slovak club were forced to surrender if not, then talk so loud – the category of weak teams present “The Lion” does not include.

But “Salavat Yulaev” stormy now: from the last seven meetings Ufimtsev won just one, and that at last vegetative division in Chernyshev “Barys”. The current champion KHL continues to haunt the minds of the fans supposedly conflict-leading scorer last season Alexander Radulov and Sergei team coach Bashkir Mikhalev. The latter recently was pleased that it does not put the match defender Andrew Kuteikin, accompanied by this heartbreaking event commented: “it is hot,” – answered Sergey journalist's question, what caused this coaching decision.

Ufimtsev now lost on points located outside the play-off their conference, gaining only 20 points in 15 meetings. In “The Lion”, by the way, 18 points in 13 games – and judging by the standings, the favorite in the upcoming game should be considered Slovak Club, completed with “if somewhere there is a Czechoslovakian hockey player who can not get a job we take it. ”

newspaper “Soviet Sport” on the next day after the defeat of wards Mikhaleva in the game against CSKA Moscow came with the following headline: “Champion, wake up!”. The article never mentions the name of Ilya Zubov winning goal scorer in overtime and brought his club win. But the article ended with positive words Ufimtsev mentor: “One point today, we still have”. Congratulations to you, Sergey.

place at the gate “Salavat” resumed Vitaly Kolesnik, but the guests at the last line appears Jan Laco – and this is only the second match for him in the CHL, the rest of the meeting held Tomas Duba. But even with the number in Jan is not dense, there are no problems with quality – in his only game he missed goals, neutralize all 22 shots on his goal.

“Branislav worth considering: the first bullet, turning bare, became possible after the foul, and the second the puck flew into the gate of John Laco, as Mezei was released from the penalty box”

And then he had to show wares: the owners to bring down the gates of “The Lion” hail their attacks, earning the majority, but things are out there – keeper of the Slovak team played beyond all praise. About Vitaly Kolesnik so hard to say: in the 11th minute of the Kazakh goalkeeper missed the puck after a shot Juraj Mikus – 0:1. “Salavat” then played in the minority, but to give a difference of two goals after the first period would not be quite honest – some moments of the owners had more statistics that confirm and rolls (14:9 after the first period) and the weary gait keeper Guests at the end of the first 20 minutes of the game – but he hardly expected anything else.

Ufimtsev second period beginning in the majority and already on the 37th second of the bullet to make that easy implements Sergei Zinoviev, who had just returned to the composition. It seems that “Salavat” is about to burst, if only the energy in the right direction forward – and then Alexander Radulov breaks down at the judges and waving his long stick, accompanying these actions are not the most decent expressions, which are perfectly readable on my lips. All this for the usual (and correct) decision of the judges of the PACE arm – but Radulov still furious.

“Lion” itself has fallen off by the Bashkir commands Bartechko, using the rebound of the personal side, sending the puck over the flap Kolesnik directly into the goal. After another 160 seconds by the change again: when drawing the majority of Ladislav Nagy does not meet with anyone – standing for a few seconds in the center circle with the puck, Nagy reluctantly sends her to the far top corner – 3:1! Jump for joy in a sweater girl, “the Lion”, but the local fans are beginning to whistle.

All would be nothing but fouled itch guests – and Branislav Mezei as put forward from the bench penalty box to help partners, Alexander Svitov throw from the right circle vsbrasyvaniya reduces the gap in the long run. Oleg Saprykin movement returns skate the puck into the net, and Branislav worth considering: the first bullet, turning bare, became possible after the foul, and the second the puck flew into the gate of John Laco, as Mezei was released from the penalty box.

last fifteen minutes of the second period “Salavat” hosts guests in the area, creating a dangerous moments. The judge may remove a player of “The Lion” for a foul in the last seconds of the period (I think it was lucky Mezei), but it gives the teams play – 2:3 after the second period.

On resumption

game does not go a minute, and Maxim Sushinsky already compares the account – 3:3! Rostrum celebrate – it seems that now, “Salavat” finish off an opponent, but instead Ladislav Nagy gave a pass-candy Vaclav inexpensive, which breaks the fourth time Vitaly Kolesnik. Flight losses, the owners passed smashing kontraataku – 3:5, Nagy draws a double.

The owners would

buck, look around, will not fly at breakneck speed. Cool the brain, in general, so that the brain controlled arms and legs, and not vice versa. “Salavat” somehow gets the advantage of having 1.5 minutes for the implementation of “4 to 3.” Enough for a minute – several gears, revealing the defense of the guests, once two players Ufimtsev are alone in front of Ian Laco – and Alexander Radulov scores his third goal in season, using the transfer of Sergei Zinoviev. Cat and mouse game some, but not hockey.

“Poor John Laco found at” zero “in his first match, got six goals”

Grant Lewis gets 2 minutes – and I must say that the fourth puck “Salavat” has scored the most because of the removal of American. “Repeat?” – As if Lewis says. “Okay!” – Meets Alexander Radulov, making out a double. 5:5!

game explodes, and the dangerous moments occur at the gate of each of the teams with alarming regularity, but the goalies already napropuskali and sixth shovel the puck out of the gate does not want. Tribunes chase the hosts ahead, shouting “Shay-boo,” but best of all, Branislav Mezei hears them, earning the deletion. Yes, again it is! And for the first time “Salavat” goes forward again by implementing the majority – Oleg Saprykin scored the sixth goal in the gate of Jan Laco.

Grant Lewis brought two goals, Branislav Mezei – three. A thousand times good Alexander Radulov and Sergei Zinoviev and the other players “Salavat”, but the defenders of the “Lion” in this game rather Sergei Mikhalev protected – from the wrath of the fans and the possible resignation. Defended, covering her breasts – and received honorary 0 points in the match, the final score is better suited for hockey with a ball.

And poor John Laco found at “zero” in his first match, got six goals. Stability – a sign of skill.
