Eh, he just practices passive hockey with 1.5 lines in offense and dilutes the talent for the sake of his "model".Myths again. He expects resposible defensive play. Is that uncommon?
Oh god, what done. Kokarev, of course. All those Dynamos out there...Free your mind from nogomyach. It's poisoning you!
I didnt say that I hate him. It's silly to shoot the pianist, he does what he knows best. And what he does isn't really suitable for best-on-best competitions and an NT of a country that doesn't produce elite defensive players in contrast to its offensive talent pool.One could argue some ppl should give their hate a rest and give Bill's system a look. His system is as modern as it gets. He also works with the assets he has, not trying to let players do things they can't do by design. His "inappropriate on international level"(wtf is that? if it works, it works, if it doesn't, it won't on any level) style won him a WC with half the guys he'll have in the Olympics.
The BS about "disgraceful to russian hockey" is as childish as it gets. You also probably have no idea of the systems Tarasov, Chernyshov or Tikhonov played. You'd be surprised about how "defensive minded" and "outdated" they were.
Yes, it can't be helped. Ppl on hockey boards will always be smarter than the NT coach
People on the boards will always express their opinions and they don't have to be coaches for that.
