They worked with him to improve that part of his game. They even put him on the first power play where he was rather successful. The way Zadorov described it was - "The knights take pride when you develop into a good player". In contrast his time with the Red Army was more focused on team results rather than player development.
I might write up the rest of the interview in the next few days. There Zadorov talks about golf, being a father, the role of his wife in his success, wanting to adopt a child, the London Knights, OHL vs MHL, salaries in the junior leagues, and how Russian players used to manipulate the junior draft. There's just too many interesting topics he covers. I also started fixing some of the spelling and adding more details where I could on the first parts(the first 2 are done).

Considering how popular your initial translation efforts were received by CP…I know any further tidbits from this interview would be greatly appreciated by the Forum members.
