Ufa striker “Salavat Yulayev” Daniil Alalykin said that in the Fonbet Championship match KHL with Kazan Ak Barsom there was even play, and in the shootout his team was unlucky.
In the meeting, which took place on Thursday in Kazan, Ak Bars won on penalties – 2:1. Alalykin became the scorer of the only goal for the Ufa team.
– The hockey was spectacular from the first shifts. The game was even. Bullits are a lottery, today we were unlucky. The start of the third period we almost didn’t ask for anything. “Ak Bars” started to put pressure on us, made two players fly. We started throwing ourselves away from the puck, playing hockey that wasn’t ours. Any support is heard on the games. Kazan fans tear their throats out for their guys, just like ours. It was such that our fans were a little screaming in the third period. We are very grateful to them for their support.
How did the goal arrive? We play it constantly in training, we open up to each other. That was the standard we were developing. We defended well at that time, Lesha Pustozerov dragged the puck along the board, played with Danil Bashkirov, I opened deep, I just had to score.
“Ak Bars” did not surprise. How many games have we played with them in a short time. We got used to each other, we were ready for any outcome.
The toughest segment of the game is the start of the third period. The rest of us played as best we could.
Performance doesn’t interest me. A while ago – I’m trying to implement. Lots of blocks? It is the duty of every player to catch the puck on himself. Coaches don’t even have to ask. We understand everything ourselves,” Alalykin told reporters.
