Command Analysis

Gornyak Uchaly

Current form
The team from Verkhnyaya Pyshma has never won the regular season of the VHL in its history and has not won the Petrov Cup, but this season it can fix everything. The team has a good selection of players who act at the proper level and solve the tasks set. Alexey Alekseev's team has gained momentum and is fighting to win the regular season. The squad from Verkhnyaya Pyshma in the last confrontation on their ice could not beat the "army team" from St. Petersburg. The match was dictated by SKA-Neva, which opened the scoring first, retained the advantage and defeated the hosts – 2:4 in the end. This setback was the 23rd of the season and dropped the club to fourth place in the standings. A game earlier, the squad was able to break the resistance of Dynamo from St. Petersburg (5:2). The team has 72 points, scored 180 goals, acts with full dedication, but in some moments it is necessary to increase and act more confidently. It is worth noting that the team is the best in the league in scoring goals.
