Plushev called the idea of ​​reforming the KHL positive, but raw and untimely

MOSCOW, June 18, Vasily Bogdanov. Russian Hockey Federation (RHF) proposals According to the new format of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) championship, they are positive in concept, but raw and not timely in essence, said Honored Coach of Russia Vladimir Plushev. places at the end of the 2021/22 season, in the second — ten remaining. In total, the teams will play 70 matches in the regular season. Each team in the first conference will play 44 matches, the second — 36. At the same time, clubs from both conferences will compete for the playoffs, for which the FHR has prepared two options. «First, you need to understand what the FHR is guided by when it puts forward such proposals «I can only assume that there are still people in the federation who are worried about hockey and are trying to change something. If the KHL is developing, it is only in breadth, and the quality and level are falling. In ten years, we have not really won anything — not at the youth level, not at the adult level.Another question is that the FHR raises this topic at the wrong time.July is in the yard, pre-season tournaments are already starting, the start of the championship is just around the corner. to raise the level of the KHL is the right thing, but the idea seems damp and untimely,» Plushev said.
