Bob Hartley is now coaching the team that I've been a fan since my early childhood. We're now in the finals and ready to win the Gagarin Cup. I wish.
Avangard out played all their opponents. Didn't even give a chance to them. (4-0 with the defending champion in the first round, then 4-1 and 4-2 series).
The team is playing a very entertaining hockey. It's fast, with lots of shots from all the positions (many not dangerous, though), 5 in offense, 5 in defense, deep forecheck.
Bob is always respectful to journalists, players, coaches. Loves to talk. Players respect him too. They often say that he always pays attention to details.
We're happy that he's our coach. I'm pretty sure that if we didn't have Hartley, we wouldn't see the finals.
