Avangard captain Damir Sharipzyanov has asked supporters to stay with the team after a poor start to the season. The Omsk club have 6 points from 7 games and sit eighth in the Eastern Conference.
"The easiest thing now is to turn away from the team and say how bad everyone is… But the fans in Omsk and Avangard fans across the country and the world are always with the team. Especially in periods like this, when everything is against us! The team is fighting, there are no indifferent players in it! At the moment circumstances are slightly stronger than us, but we will get through this!" Sharipzyanov wrote.
The 30-year-old defenceman has not played this season. He is recovering from an injury sustained in last season's play-offs.
