Coach Guy Boucher of Avangard explains why Galimov is not playing in the playoffs
Tossing Away Opportunities:
Emil Galimov, the enigmatic forward, has spent most of his training sessions away from Canadian coach Guy Boucher.
At the post-match press conference on Tuesday, April 1st, 2025, Coach Boucher of the Avangard Omsk hockey team explained why Emil Galimov wasn't playing in the playoff matches. It's worth noting that Galimov had been out for a considerable time due to injuries, and upon recuperation, he was still absence from the lineup.
"He's not in the roster because his teammates are surpassing him. He's almost always absent when the team was under my leadership. It's hard to expect a player who hasn't trained with us, doesn't know our system and has played only a few games to outshine the others and be better. There's neither his fault nor mine—it's just the way things have turned out, with him being absent during the crucial moments when we were working.", Coach Boucher stated.
On April 1st, Avangard Omsk suffered their first defeat against Metallurg in the 1/8 playoff round, after winning the initial three games. The next faceoff between the two teams is scheduled for April 3rd in Magnitogorsk.
