BALASHIKHA (Moscow region), June 25, Andrey Senchenko. Goalkeeper of the National Hockey League (NHL) «Arizona Coyotes» Ivan Prosvetov noted that one of the reasons for the successful performance of Russian goalkeepers in North America is the mentality. Earlier, Igor Shesterkin from the New York Rangers won the Vezina Trophy prize, which is awarded to the best I didn’t communicate with Shesterkin after he won the Vezina. But I know Igor personally, we met at the training camp, we were together several times in the Russian Olympic team. In the season, I didn’t manage to cross paths with him, write off. But he's done well, the best goalkeeper in the NHL. Russia has a good school of goalkeepers, high-quality specialists from the coaching staff. Plus, the guys themselves are hard workers, this is our Russian mentality — always to prove something to someone. Shesterkin, Vasilevsky, Bobrovsky, Varlamov, Sorokin — ab salty tops. And their number is growing. I missed many. For example, Petra Kochetkov, who shows an excellent game in the AHL and, most likely, will become the league champion,» Prosvetov told reporters.
