Offensive “Admiral” Yevgeny Grachev after being defeated by “Ak Barsa” in a regular KHL Championship game, Fonbet told Metaratings.ru that the key moment of the game was the start of the third period.
The meeting in Vladivostok ended with the score 3:0 (0:0, 1:0, 2:0) in favor of the guests.
– How did you prepare? Did you change anything after their defeat the day before yesterday, in addition to the combinations?
– Nothing has changed much in the preparation. There’s no time for that now, matches every other day. So we watched the video, participated in the pre-match training and went to the match. I think we are making good progress. In any case, two periods exactly. And there were five to five chances to score with us. Probably not enough pressure at the end.
As for Kazan, then, probably, in the first goal we were a little unlucky, then we made a mistake twice, and we were punished for it. Key? Probably the third period, at the beginning we went out in order to recover, but we quickly cooled down.
– What can we note positive?
– There are few positives. The good news is that we still have games. And the positive is that we can play better and we know it.
– How is Ak Bars? What game features do you rate?
– Kazan defends well in his zone, very tight, plays actively. Clearly most are good and there are masters out there. The defenders started the attack well, they kept the puck well. Therefore, I didn’t notice any great features.
– Why does Admiral play much better away than at home?
– I can’t say exactly. To be honest, I haven’t tracked the stats, so I don’t know. I can’t cite any of the reasons that I know of.
In the next game, on February 18, the Admiral will host Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg. In the standings of the Eastern Conference “Admiral” is seventh with 71 points.
