Press-conference

After the match, with Lviv "Lions" Coach "Donbass-2," Igor Andryushchenko said about positive changes in the game of his team.

- Second in the course of the game, led in the account, again gave way, and in the end overcame rivals. Why match was so nervous?
- We have had many chances to score early in the match, but our attitude towards them, so to speak, "cool." Here it upsets me. Missed one goal, playing together. In the case - not the case our disposal, now is not so important. In some moments lost concentration, for which we punish an opponent. But in general I liked the game. It was a solid, high-quality.

- Due to what has been twice changed course of the fight? This is the nature of the team, your adjustments or something else?
- Moments were and missed goals. The team just did not use them, but was able to gather. At the end of the match, when it was necessary to pull out just the result, took up and brought it to the end.

- In the last two games of the third period of your team produces a crumpled. Today, in the end of the match the team played much on the contrary collected. This is the result of "debriefing"?
- Yes. That's what I like today, it is clearly on a mission, and did not try to finish the game and dropped, and it is played to the end. What had been previously analyzed and carefully dismantled with the players.

- Today, Denisov earned 10 penalty minutes. Are all the removal is justified, and whether in such cases, the coaching penalties?
- Of course. He led us today.
We only have 24 minutes of fine and nearly half came from him alone.

After the match, with the "Donbas-2" head coach Lviv "Lions" Denis Bulgakov expressed his satisfaction with the actions of his subordinates.

- Thanks guys for the dedication they have shown a desire to achieve results. We withstood the onslaught, often playing in the minority, we were able to score in the majority. There were plenty of opportunities to implement, tried to play responsibly as possible in the defense. Once taken into account, like hold the advantage, but removal was not allowed to do so.

- Today, your players' problems with mood was not much. Where was the moment when the lost thread of the game?
- Not so much the third and fourth as the puck missed the game work. It was a defining washer. But even when the score was 3:4, we fought to the end, had chances to equalize, but unfortunately did not happen. We pay the players' attention to the fact that the last two matches, "Donbas-2" failed to play the third period.
But today the scenario was different.

- Happy with the way things are your tournament, a place in the standings?
- Are we. The truth is not quite get to select points from teams that are higher in the standings, but our task is to get to four.
