Magnitka is the best at the start of the season: even without a coach beat Dynamo, Shipachev got 5 + 20, and Goldobin had a hat-trick

Urals have only lost 1 match.

September 7, 2021. Metallurg on their own ice falls under Salavat Yulaev – 2: 7. Fans simply destroy the team in the comments on Sports.ru and in social networks – everyone gets it: the goalkeeper, the field, and the management, who signed Zernov (“-5” per game), but most of all – the head coach Ilya Vorobyov. If we briefly and censorily summarize the main ideas, then his qualifications are not enough to work with such an eminent and ambitious team, all the trophies with him are the merit of assistants, the baggage of his predecessors and the talent of Mozyakin and Zaripov, and in general the coach must write a letter of resignation.

October 3, 2021. Metallurg is beating Dynamo away and gaining 24 points in 13 matches – this is the best team in the league right now, even taking into account the lost opponents. The defeat from Salavat remained the only one in the season: Magnitka managed to skate away from the Far East to Siberia, play with both finalists of the 2021 Gagarin Cup, and also came to visit the best team in the West – and never lost points. The winning streak of the Urals has already lasted 10 matches, along with Dynamo they are the most productive club in the KHL, and their defense is the third most reliable.

But by coincidence, no one today praises Ilya Vorobyov – before the match with the blue and white, he left for self-isolation from – for a positive test for coronavirus. All the praise for the important victory from the fans will surely be received by Mark French, who became Acting. for the nearest future. Metallurg really played great, but the coach did not mention one of the key moments of the evening that broke Dynamo’s game – Shipachev hit Artem Zemchenko with a stick between the legs and finished the match in the second period.

“Any removal breaks the game. There were a lot of rearrangements because of this, ”Aleksey Kudashov noticeably underestimated the problem. The league’s top scorer was removed from Dynamo, who is gaining points in every match of the season. This, by the way, was no exception – at the beginning of the second period, Vadim managed to cut Klinkhammer’s transfer to an empty net .

Magnitka also has a star at number 87 – not as stable as Shipachev, but no less bright. Nikolai Goldobin became the main character of the evening: he took part in all the goals of his team and scored 3 + 1.

Goldobin’s third goal, by the way, will compete with the first for getting into the top Week 10:

“I just feel different about hockey,” – the main quote from Nikolai’s post-match speech. In 40 matches last season, he scored only 6 goals, now in 11 games he already has 8 goals and 16 points in general. He is the fifth striker of the regular season – although he plays on average 6 minutes less than the same Shipachev.

The main intrigue of October: when will the winning streak of Magnitka end? Predict in the comments – by the end of the month, the Urals will have 3 matches with Ak Bars, one with Salavat, and also a trip to Helsinki, where not all players are allowed.
