Head Coach”Spartacus » Igor Grischine believes that incomprehensible goals flew to the gates of his team in the home match of the Fonbet KHL Championship (4: 7) with Avtomobilist, which did not allow the Muscovites to recover.
In the third period, the hosts reduced the gap to a minimum, but then conceded the sixth goal, when the puck hit the ice in front of the Spartak goalkeeper after a shot from the player Avtomobilist and abruptly changed direction. The guests scored another puck in an empty net.
“In the third period they tried to come back, but again that incomprehensible sixth goal is kind of bad luck for us,” Grishin told reporters. – In theory, such lenses should not fly. Because of him, all our efforts were in vain.
– Can we say that today you didn’t guess with the guard?
– Ribar is our first goalkeeper by any means. Once he had to start after an illness. He has been training with the team for a long time. We thought he was ready for the game. But it happened like that. I think he will be better in the next matches.
– Defense is Spartak’s weakest point today. How to improve it?
– Probably, every coach in such a situation will say that “we are working”. We work both in video and in training. I hope this work will bear fruit. And the sooner the better. But we won’t give up on offensive hockey. You just need to have a certain balance. To win, you have to score goals. And to score, you have to attack.
Spartak have conceded 13 goals in the last three meetings and now sit seventh in the KHL Western Conference standings.
