Andrey Nazarov called on the management of "Barys" to take action.

The KHL is actively preparing for the playoffs, with the teams for the cup already largely determined. Unfortunately, there are some disappointing teams, such as "Barys." It’s my hope that the new management of the Kazakh club, currently at the bottom of the standings and suffering heavy losses like 0-8, will draw the right conclusions. Relying solely on young players is not a viable strategy, especially if you're aiming for positive results. Every team and its fans want to win. I know that "Barys" has always had some of the best foreign players in the league—remember players like Daus, Boyd, Bochenk, and Dahlman. Let’s hope the management understands the essence of these issues, as the current situation does little to promote hockey in Kazakhstan, a country that truly values and loves this sport,” said Nazarov.

The former head coach of “Barys” and the Kazakhstan national team, renowned Russian specialist Andrey Nazarov, commented on the disappointing performance of the Kazakh club in the KHL during the 2024/2025 season, which is currently at the bottom of the league, as reported by Sports.kz with reference to Championat.com.

“The KHL is actively preparing for the playoffs, and the cup contenders have essentially been determined for a while. Unfortunately, there are teams that are disappointing, such as ‘Barys.’ I hope that the new management of the Kazakh club, which is struggling and losing matches with scores like 0:8, will draw the right conclusions. You can’t rely solely on youth, especially if you’re aiming for a positive outcome. Every team and its fans want to win. I know that ‘Barys’ has always had some of the best legionnaires in the league: remember Daous, Boyd, Bochenk, and Dallman. Let’s hope that the management understands the essence of all the problems, because the current situation does not promote hockey in Kazakhstan, where this sport is valued and loved,” said Nazarov.
