Head Coach S.K.A. Romain Rotenberg after the game between Fonbet of the Continental Hockey League (KHL) championship and Yaroslavl “Locomotive” said judges should pay more attention to episodes where there is a threat to player health.
The meeting in St. Petersburg between SKA and Lokomotiv ended with the score 2:1 in favor of the guests. In one of the episodes, SKA striker Emil Galimov was hit in the nose with a club. In the second period, the teams received a total of 24 penalty minutes.
In the table of the Western Conference, SKA (91 points), which suffered its third consecutive defeat, remains in first place. In the next game, on February 3, the army team will host Ak Bars Kazan.
– A strong opponent, we tried to play actively. Satisfied with our speed. We saw the team that played the first four months, a team almost impossible to beat.
There are no questions about the team’s dedication and desire. We have to score more, we will get there. Everything else I don’t want to comment on. When a person is covered in blood, and the judges say they didn’t notice that moment…Judges are people too, they’re professionals, they’re going to settle that moment. I hope that there will be no such situations in the future. When there is a health threat, it is wrong. I don’t want our players to get injured before the end of the season.
Today we threw 44 times, the opponent – 16. At the same time, we scored a goal for ourselves (Grigory Gryaznov put the puck back in his own net – “”). We need to take a more responsible attitude towards implementation, walk out with a penny and score points. Worth noting goalkeeper Isaev, he played well, but the playoffs will be a different game.
We look at the content, and today we played one of the best games of the season. It’s a good rehearsal before the playoffs. And everything else… you can’t fool people, you can’t fool life, you’ve seen it all yourself, karma exists.
The absence of Gusev? There are no conflicts in the team, there is a rotation. If you noticed, we already had all the leaders resting. We take every player to the playoffs. We work with Nikita, we discussed everything. We want to see the best Gusev in the playoffs, – the correspondent reports Rotenberg’s words.
