Head Coach “Metallurgist” Ilya Vorobiev said his team needed a win in the Fonbet KHL Championship game with Barys (2:1 OT) which was won with great difficulty.
Metallurg hockey players played the 1000th home game in club history.
“That’s a huge number for Magnitogorsk hockey,” Vorobyov said after the game. – A good figure, it’s very important that we won this match. Huge respect to the fans and leaders who built all of this in Soviet times and who continue to pay a lot of attention to hockey now. Huge respect for them. The game is tight. Although there were times when they didn’t hit the voids. This victory had to be snatched from oneself. The guys tried to minimize the errors, although there was still one.
“What can you say about Barys?”
– The opponent plays well in defense and recovers like a spring in counter-attack. Barys is also a very fast team, playing in short teams. In modern hockey, that’s how it should be – spending 20-30 seconds on the ice.
Metallurg is second in the KHL Eastern Conference table with 68 points, two points behind Sibir.
