The head coach “Torpedo” Igor Larionov spoke about the state of the team after a six-game winning streak.
On Saturday, Torpedo beat Minsk “Dynamo” in the home game of the Fonbet KHL Championship (3:2) and won the sixth consecutive victory. Nizhny Novgorod gained access to the playoffs on February 1.
“For a lot of guys, making the playoffs ten rounds before the end of the regular season is something new,” a correspondent quoted Larionov as saying. “It’s a very subtle story. Because if we lose, it won’t matter. A certain psychological calm in today’s game is linked to this. This match decided a lot for Minsk, but not much for us. That’s why I felt a little tired. Still the sixth win in a row. Including on SKA, CSKA, Spartak… It’s a colossal expenditure of emotions. After such battles, moral fatigue is inevitable. Some even get sick. Therefore, you need to distort the composition. But no matter how tired we are, we have to give it our all to win.
Torpedo moved back to second place in the KHL Western Conference standings after the game against the Minskers, beating CSKA.
