Press-conference
After the match, "Donbas" - "Diesel" opinion about the last match to share the head coach - rivals.
Alexander Kulikov (head coach HC "Donbass"):
- If to say about the game, we knew that it would be difficult. We had a tournament at home, played three games, players sent to the Continental Cup matches a lot of strength, both physical and psychological. It was very difficult to tune from begin. We lost the first period of the game and it is fortunate that we played it 1-1 on the account. There were many moments for our competitors. In the second period, we continued to play well, but "Diesel" sold their moments. With the score 4-1, we changed the goalkeeper, and it was a time when the opponent has to score one or two pucks, we would not have saved the match. Indeed, the goal of Kochetkov in the second period greatly helped us. We talked during the break with the guys, they all knew and played in the third period as they should play. Many thanks to them, they showed character and, losing 1-4, they drew the game. This is not a friendly game, a game with a team that goes on the third place in the Conference.
- Do you tend to blame Goryachevskih with a missed pucks?
- When a goalkeeper misses three or four goals, he is usually changed. We rarely miss four goals and not to fracture the team, replaced the goalkeeper. As you see, we won the game. In a few moments Tsaregorodtsev rescued and the team felt confident.
- Before the bulletes was an interesting point. Suddenly, Goryachevsikh wore a mask, and was about to go to the net, but eventually came Tsaregorodtsev. What happened?
- There was a time when we were thinking about to get back Goryachevskih to the gate. You know, there are moments when everything is solved. We believe that we have two very good goalkeeper. There was a time when we wanted to return Goryachevskih, but eventually Tsaregorodtsev came to the gate.
- What about Dydykin and Lyutkevich?
- Lyutkevich has a concussion. I do not know when he started training. Dydykin also have a headache, but how it all seriously, we will know tomorrow morning.
Victor Bogatyrev (Head Coach HC "Diesel"):
- I would like to do more, leading to a 4-1. Turning point was that puck, which was missed by us for 14 seconds before the end of the second period. As they say, a goal in the locker room. Followed early in the third period, a third puck had broken guys a little. In the first period, there were moments where we had to score. Overall, I commend the players, who have tried and wanted to win, but the bullets -is the lottery. This way we have lost to "Dynamo" from Balashikha.
- Did you know that "Donbass" played three games in European competition. Focused attention on the players that included the maximum speed?
- Of course, talking about it. They said to keep a close play on the counterattack in the neutral zone play. We arrived too tired, traveled 28 hours. Moscow time today just went to bed at 3am. It was hard, not enough physics. The fact that the opponent played in the Continental Cup and tired, of course, this moment we had to use.
