Press-conference
Head Coach of "Donbass" Alexander Kulikov said that in the third period of the match with the club "Kazzinc-Torpedo" he already had in mind a second bout.
- We have a very complex calendar. This month, we play 13 games. And, from 10 to 15 of November, we`ll have four games with teams that are in the leading roles in the Eastern Conference - "Ermak", "Sokol" and "Kazzinc-Torpedo". Guys were in the good mood , we have specially prepared for this game, and, in general, players comply fully with the installation and played very well. Especially - in the third period. A second break emphatically that if we stand now three against five opponents, we will surely win. And so it happened. Played great defense, and then scored a quick two goals. And, in general, the outcome was predetermined.
- What caused the timeout in the middle of the third period?
- We started to play in the open hockey. With such a team to play like this is not necessary. Twin games for us are not accustomed, in contrast to our opponent. We need to continue to stick to our line, and in open hockey, we are still not ready to play. We wanted to play properly and prepare for tomorrow's game. And, you see, after a timeout, we still scored.
Head Coach of the club "Kazzinc-Torpedo" Oleg Bolyakin noted that the fate of the first VHL championship fight against "Donbass" (3:8) decided the third period, which his team failed.
- Analysis of the game we`ll arrange tomorrow, but today I can say that the match was divided into two parts. In the first two periods, the players performed the installation, in the third - our defense completely collapsed, badly played goalie. We predicted that, with such a team we can not be removed. Removal, as a rule, lead to the fact that we miss the puck. "Donbass" have good organized team, which proved that by the law holds the first place.
