Head Coach CSKA Sergei Fedorov after defeating S.K.A. (3:1) in the KHL regular season game answered questions from reporters. The specialist separately rated the game Konstantin Okulov .
– Our team with a victory. We went through a lot today,” said Fedorov. – We found strength, opportunities, character in the third period. We didn’t implement all the qualitative moments initially. Nevertheless, we were in on it. We did a little better in terms of eliminating the puck. The opponent created good difficulties for us. We had a great experience, watched some new guys. We managed to pull together in the third period and turn the game around.
– CSKA lost to SKA with the score 2:6. But after that he won against the St. Petersburg military team twice in a row (2:1 and 3:1). Is that how you reviewed your game, pushing back the bottom?
“I don’t want to go back to that time. But in this match, everything really fell into our hands. Then it did not start. In the second or third period showed some hockey. But they lost the game.
Low or not, but we’ve got all that stuff sorted. They explained that was not the way to go. But with the first period we still have a little trouble. Today was better. The adversary is fresher, faster. However, we created some quality moments. Although the former missed an easy goal. Our forwards didn’t work on the throw line.
However, negative or positive, it remains an experience. We analyze it, directing the guys to a specific job. And everything will be played in the playoffs.
– You criticized Konstantin Okulov after the match against Lokomotiv (1-3), putting him on the bench. Now he answered you with a double?
– He who sits on the stove is not mistaken. I always say it. You see, hockey players are people too. They get tired too. And in the middle of the season, the main reason for a bad game is fatigue, physical or psychological. I watch the guys’ run, dedication and energy for the first 10 minutes of every game. And decisions have already been made.
There were no strong criticisms or punishments against Okulov. We approached constructively, even the possibility of playing against other guys who looked better. If his grip was the answer, I don’t know. But for such an experienced player, everything is obvious. The next game he played better, and today he gave a completely different game.
