Severstal head coach Andrei Razin after beating Amur in the KHL Championship Game, Fonbet said his team often fouls opponents which helps them to succeed.
On Saturday, Severstal beat Amur at home in a shootout – 4:3. All goals in regulation time, the owners of the ice scored in the game in the majority.
“We started well, forced the opponent out, played a lot in the majority, scored three goals in uneven line-ups,” Razin said as quoted by . – But Amour’s curious goal shattered our confidence, but we still played well, creating a lot of chances. Victory is victory.
– Why didn’t you take the risk of changing goalkeepers for the fourth outfield player in overtime?
– Today the ice was not of the best quality, the puck jumped, which increased the probability of unexpectedly scoring a goal in an empty net. Probably because there was a full house in the palace, the temperature rose. If it wasn’t for that, they’d probably take the risk. Because Amur has been playing well in shootouts lately, scoring three out of five.
– After two difficult victories, can you “breathe” a little? And how do you put the team back together after such stubborn and nervous games?
– Let’s catch our breath when we are highlighted in bold in the table as a playoff participant. And we constantly restore guys. We have a good recovery complex. Everyone says Torpedo plays fast, but we’re also very fast. We force the opponent out more often than any team in the KHL. And that’s despite my relationship with the head of the judiciary, we have such a “warm” relationship with him. We are still in first place in this indicator. This suggests that our team has a lot of puck possession and moves well. This causes the opponent to foul.
Severstal is seventh in the KHL Western Conference table with 66 points, six points ahead of ninth-place Spartak.
