Former defender of "Salavat Yulaev," Nikita Shchitov, shared his thoughts on "Barys's" performance in the current KHL season.
“I believe that 'Barys' has the potential to compete for the eighth spot in the East. The coach needs to effectively organize the team's efforts. The players, both homegrown and imported, must be united by a single goal — making it to the playoff of the Gagarin Cup. The team should be cohesive and friendly. They need to give their all in front of their fans. Only then do they have a chance,” Shchitov's words are quoted by Legalbet.kz.
“After 29 matches, 'Barys' is in second-to-last place in the Eastern Conference, with 20 points to their name. They are 5 points away from the playoff zone.”
