Command Analysis
Gornyak Uchaly
Russian FederationCurrent form
The team from Verkhnyaya Pyshma has never won the regular VHL championship or the Petrov Cup in its history. The team is a typical mid-table team with a good selection of players who perform at the proper level, but in some areas they still lack skill. Having failed at the end of the last season, Alexey Alekseyev charges are still following all the instructions of the coaching staff and the club looks an order of magnitude higher than last year. The team from Verkhnyaya Pyshma failed to cope with Bars in the last game in Kazan. The match was a fierce struggle and ended 3:3, but the hosts were more accurate in the shootout. The team was able to break Neftyanik resistance on home ice in the previous game, winning 5:3 in the end. The team has 49 points, scored 123 goals, and is playing with full dedication, but in some areas they need to improve and act more confidently. It is worth noting that the team is in the TOP-3 of the league in terms of goals scored.
