WITHOUT A SELECTED NICK

The tournament schedule was promised to us on June 15th, then the KHL twice postponed the release date. As it was possible to know, for two reasons. First, all embarrbaded CSKA. Having moved to another arena, where "Spartacus" is already playing, the army club has seriously hit the editors of the schedule. Now you can not hold a home game red and white on Monday, and red and blue – Tuesday. We need a technological break every day. Otherwise, you will not have time to glue the ice, take on the banners, change the sides. In addition, on the morning of the match, guests are required to provide ice cream to guests.

The second reason is the wish of the FHR. Initially, the league allowed 10 days to prepare the team for the World Cup, but when the schedule was already ready, the federation sent a message saying that the national team needed two weeks. Everything that was ready had to be redone.

Without a two-week preparation, the team could definitely succeed. The fact is that the next world championship in Slovakia will start a week later than usual, which means that almost all of our players can come to it, with the exception of the four-team hockey players. It seems that even in the absence of the Olympics in the calendar, we still spoil the club tournament due to several KHL players who will really need the national team [19659009] MONDAY – WE WILL NOT RECEIVE

made compilers of the calendar. Until now, this is done manually, but only because there are too many introductions in the equation. For example, breaks for Eurotrans. Once again, we are waiting for conflicts.

The League has acted in principle: now the matches will be held on Monday, November 12, although on November 11 in Helsinki, the Russian team plays at 2 pm in Moscow. On the 12th, the houses will be played by Sibir, Avangard, Salavat Yulaev, Vityaz, SKA, Spartak and Minsk Dynamo. Add seven more guest teams and you will realize that many will not have the time to come back. Perhaps, Moscow will have time, in St. Petersburg. But not at Omsk

In the KHL, they raise their hands. If they gave more and Mondays, then it would be necessary to lead pair matches in the playoffs but they categorically refused. There were other difficulties. Dynamo Moscow may move to a new arena in November – white-blue will have to spend more than ten home matches in another stadium.

Kunlun starts the season in Shanghai before moving to Beijing. There will also be matches in Vienna and Zurich

– Why Slovan and Riga Dynamo will play there? – I was surprised. – Since when have these clubs become symbols of the league?

– Because there are questions about the organization of the game. Residents of the European Union are easier to organize, they explained to me.

This year, 97% of the total number of games in the mobile application of the KHL (or on the site) will be displayed, but the money will be taken for 100%. However, clubs will be obliged to broadcast on the Internet if necessary.

The most important news did not concern the calendar. Now the players' union is "dead" because it makes no sense to pay its dues. The rules removed the point that only union members were allowed to participate in the tournament. Previously, this mark was, which allowed Andrei Kovalenko to have an impact on the hockey players. Now, that will not happen. However, even before the players who did not join this strange organization, they were still allowed to participate in matches, even if it was strictly forbidden.

Two clubs that had payroll problems will continue to play in the tournament. "Admiral" in general changed the legal entity, however, leaving behind these same debts. They say that with the hockey players, they signed an agreement on the restructuring. The "Torpedo" is expected to receive budget revenue in mid-July and then all will return it.

The news that the matches will be held in the KHL on September 7 was discussed in the spring on the board of directors. So we knew that this day will not only play "Locomotive".

Maybe it was worth saving the day of memory without a match, but the clubs must pbad 62 games in the season – every day on account

Until now , only one match is open in the open air. It will be held in Riga, the rival of the local club will be Minsk "Dynamo" or "Slovan". More so far, no one has resorted to such an initiative

FORGOT THE RATING? [19659004] But about the scoring clubs, it seems that this season will not be retained. Vice President Georgy Kobyliansky responded very evasively to the question of whether the reduction of participants will take place at the end of the season. Already there are discussions that the "Lada" will come back in the next season. Only those who wish can leave

The playoffs will begin on February 25 and will end on April 25. This time, in the first round, two pairs of the West and two of the West will play on the same day

Yes, there are four matches a day, and the conditional Eastern pair "Torpedo" – "Ak Bars" will play at the same time as "Westerners". But for a two-day break, there is no possibility for certain reasons.

Of course, we will always hear criticisms from team representatives who will be dissatisfied with the schedule. But they can only blame themselves. After all, no one wants to refuse to win the Russian title, in which case KHL will host the tournament for their own benefit.
