17:05 Riga – Almaz Cherepovets

So begins the playoffs MHL and I have to take this. Almaz is a subsidiary of Severstal of the KHL and Izhevsk from VHL and the playoffs are getting plenty of reinforcements, even five players. These are the backs Khokhlov and Arefyev, first played great on the NHL level, although it has only 20 years, in the 19 games he attended, and even five assists. He played 21 games in Izhevsk, there has 5 goals and 5 assists. So great quarterback, top reinforcement for Almaz. Arefyev only played 9 games for Izhevsk in the VHL and has two assists, but before that he played 33 matches for Krasnoyarsk, where he collected a goal + 4 assists. Last year he played for Omsk YASTREB and was very dominant in the 50 games he collected 15 goals and 32 assists which is fantastic for a quarterback, even in the MHL-in where there's a lot of goals. There are still three attackers. The first is Gimatov who played for Izhstal and collected 9g + 7a in 38 games, and played for Russia U20. Then there's Sergei Kuptsov, a great player, this season he played for Almaz in 21 games has 19g + 15a, miraculous stats, boyfriend in MHL-to scoring almost a goal per game. He played in the KHL-in for Severstal, in 25 games 2g + 2a, clear sound with respect to the playing time. But the icing on the cake is definitely Pavel Buchnevich. He is arguably the strongest gain, although the youngest of all of these (19 years old). But it's a huge talent, predicting his NHL career, but also plays superbly on KHL level so that the MHL should be dominant. It's like Cristiano Ronaldo playing for a second division team. In Severstal's third scorer this season, 13g + 16a in 48 games. There are plenty of experience playing for the junior national team, and this season he got a chance to play in the seniors. So Almaz is tremendously enhanced with two backs and three attackers, that's the whole quintet that has enough senior experience to be dominant in the MHL-in. Riga does not have any amplification, and although they are in great form lately I think that this amplification Almaza
