Krikunov expects Dynamo to do better under Tambiev than Kudashov

Former Dynamo coach Vladimir Krikunov says Leonid Tambiev can lift the club, which has 8 points from 8 games and sits sixth in the Western Conference.

Vladimir Krikunov, a former Dynamo head coach, expects the club to do better under Leonid Tambiev than it did under Kudashov. Tambiev, a Latvian, took over the side in the close season.

"Tambiev has been working in the KHL for six years, he is an experienced coach. Leonid is the man who can take Dynamo to a new level. With him Dynamo will perform better than with Kudashov. That is my feeling. The previous coach was not very successful. For now the team is only getting used to the demands of the new head coach, but it is already visible that Tambiev is instilling his own style in the players," Krikunov said.

Dynamo have 8 points from 8 games and sit sixth in the Western Conference.

A start of that kind leaves the table open. If the style Krikunov describes takes hold, the side has room to move up before the standings settle.
