“Washington” lost a series of the first round of the NHL playoffs with Florida, in part due to psychological problems, the team did not believe in itself, said the defenseman of the Capitals on Dmitry Orlov .
Washington lost to the Panthers in the Stanley Cup Round of 16 series with a score of 2-4.
– We (Florida goalkeeper) Seryoga (Bobrovsky) wished each other good luck before the series, but during the series we did not communicate, we were focused on games. See you this summer and we’ll talk about everything. There are mental attacks to unbalance the guardian because he is the only one who cannot be wrong.
It’s a shame that we were leading the series 2-1 and lost the game when we didn’t score in an empty net, it turned the tide of the series. We couldn’t believe in our strength, that we could beat them. They had a good season, won the President’s Trophy (a trophy awarded for winning the regular season – editor’s note)… We had every chance of passing the first round, but we ourselves gave them the victory and we flew away quite early.
Next season there will be changes in the line-up, we will do our best to raise the cup above our heads, ”Orlov said on the air of the show” Everything for the game!
In the 2021/22 season, the defender updated his personal performance record, earning 35 points (12+13).
– Every season you try to improve stats, something works, something doesn’t. You always try to play better, to add. A defender must always be on time both in defense and in attack when trying to squeeze the maximum. Because of the coronavirus, I couldn’t play all the regular season games. Maybe I could score more points. It didn’t happen,” he said.
Orlov also spoke about his thoughts on the Stanley Cup semifinals, where Colorado will face Edmonton and the Rangers will face Tampa.
– Vasilevsky is one of the best goaltenders in the world, he shows it with his game. He was an important part of Tampa’s success last season. It’s much easier to win games with such a goalkeeper. The best is not the best, we will see, but God forbid he is healthy.
All teams deserve it. Colorado is strong offensively and defensively, but things are unpredictable in the playoffs. The goalie who makes the most saves wins. Long tournaments are won by goalkeepers? Yes, defense, goalkeepers, – said the hockey player.
