Press-conference
After the match, with the Angarsk "Yermak," head coach of hockey club "Donbass" Alexander Kulikov said about staffing problems faced by his team during the match.
"The game evolved for us was not easy. In the course of the match our hospital joined the two players. Valerka Dydykin broke his finger early in the second period and did not play. Plus Lyutkevich is injured and we see out the match in four defender. Against a team like "Ermak" this is very, very difficult. As for the game, after 8:1, how could we not say the guys came out for the first time a little bit with unminded. We felt that we wanted and we can, but somewhere it is not present 100 percent availability. I am very happy for the guys that they were able to overcome such a difficult game. Even, one might say, to snatch, given that played with two pairs of defenders. Won a very good team that demonstrates the recent very effective hockey. I am very pleased and I want to thank the guys for what they showed character and in the third period have played as they should have been played today. "
Head coach of Angara "Ermak" Alex Zhdahin after the match with hockey club "Donbass" thanked his players for their dedication.
- Before we talk about the game, I would like to congratulate my colleague. Within a short period, and the "Donbass" I saw today for the first time, he created a team of battle-worthy, which is very hard to beat. We see that the experienced players are moving in the right direction. As for the game, we lost out because of our own mistakes. Gross errors. The second and third pucks have led to that a little later we opened. But anyway thanks guys - two periods, they kept their line to the end. Grateful to our goalkeeper, who fought at the last line as ever.
- "Donbass" has not faced such problems. From the height of your experience, how to adjust this need to play in different time zones? (By the end of the match in Angarsk was the third hour of the night - approx.)
- It's hard. Organism do not be fooled. We have just the fourth day of acclimatization. Now we're a little getting used to, going to Balashikha, where five hours time difference, and then again in Angarsk. Of course, it is hard.
