Severstal vs Vityaz. Will supporting the home stands help Severstal hockey players?
Severstal, which claims to be the main opening of the season, will play against Podolsk Vityaz on December 28. The game will take place at the Ice Palace of Cherepovets.
Andrei Razin's wards continue to amaze the hockey community, with a relatively modest composition, confidently located in the eight strongest teams in the Western Conference. In December, the team ended up in a functional pit, as a result of which they lost five matches in a row, but still managed to interrupt the sad streak, winning in Kazan. The guest duel against Ak Bars, who had picked up the move, did not bode well, but Severstal made a good start already in the first period, leading the score 2-0. In the future, the more skilled Bars were able to turn the tide of the fight, bringing the game to overtime, but David Dumbadze brought Severstal a victory with his throw.
After this victory, Severstal gained 54 points, which allowed the team to retain its sixth position in the Western Conference standings. The threat of falling out of the top eight is minimal, the Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo, which is in ninth place, is 8 points behind Severstal, and if the Cherepovets do not fail the end of the regular championship, then Andrei Razin's wards will not have to worry about a place in the playoffs.
Vityaz
If the Cherepovets club should be considered one of the discoveries of the championship, then Vityaz, on the contrary, staked out the title of the main disappointment of the season by a large margin. Stable funding, a decent squad by the standards of the League, everything spoke of Vityaz as a strong middle peasant, quite capable of getting into the top eight in the West. The figure of the head coach was somewhat embarrassing. Yuri Babenko had no experience of independent work with clubs of the KHL level, but he had experience of work in the coaching staff of Valery Bragin.
The Moscow Region team fell down immediately from the start of the championship, immediately settling down at the bottom of the standings. The only bright spot is the play of the first three, which is made up entirely of legionnaires. Odette - Aaltonen - Oyamäki pull Vityaz all season, but their efforts are not enough. Everything goes to the fact that in the near future the Moscow Region team will lose even the theoretical chances of getting into the playoffs, turning the rest of the season into an empty formality. Now Vityaz occupies the penultimate place in the West, ahead of only Riga Dynamo in terms of points scored.
