HC Torpedo top scorer Alexei Kruchinin told Sport24 that he was initially upset because of the head coach’s decision Igor Larionov to leave his bond in reserve during the away game with SKA, but then I understood the reason for such a gesture.
– In the first 10 minutes, I admit, I was upset. I have relatives, a family in St. Petersburg. Everyone was going to come to the hockey game. Also, I really wanted to beat SKA for the first time this season. I wanted a serious game. But, as I said, Larionov is a genius in this regard. He senses the situation very subtly.
After some time, we sat down with Kolya Kovalenko and Seryoga Goncharuk, talked and discussed what it was for. We came to the conclusion that this is a very smart and strong decision on the part of Igor Nikolayevich. As a result, everything went well, they won victory in St. Petersburg. Once again we were convinced that something Igor Nikolayevich is doing is fantastic,” Kruchinin said.
Torpedo is third in the Western Conference standings with 85 points.
