Varitsky: Severstal in crisis after losing top line
Ex-general manager Igor Varitsky says Severstal are in crisis with 3 points from 6 games, citing the lost first line and shaky goaltending as key causes.
The Cherepovets side have taken 3 points from 6 games and sit tenth in the Western Conference of the Fonbet KHL.
Said Varitsky, the team's head coach.
Four goals in six games is a sharp drop for a team built around open, possession hockey. Varitsky points to two specific causes: the loss of the first line, and uneven form in goal.
