Coach Vladimir Krikunov in a conversation with , he said that the coaches of St. Petersburg S.K.A. fatally confused with the goalkeeper in the first game of the first round of the Gagarin Cup.
On Wednesday, SKA lost to Dynamo Minsk in the first game of the first round of the KHL playoffs – 4:6. The gates of the St. Petersburg army team in this match were defended by Dmitry Nikolaev.
– SKA missed six goals from Dynamo Minsk. Not too much?
– The goalkeeper made mistakes there, to throw such mistakes – it’s excuse me.
– St. Petersburg army men in general are often criticized precisely for not very strong defense and weak goalkeeping brigade.
– No, it was just necessary to put (Vladislav) Podyapolsky in the first match, he is in order. It is not known why they kicked out Nikolaev if they took Podyapolsky. Even if SKA, in a good mood, should have won by attacking. Well, is the goalkeeper of the people of Minsk (Konstantin) Shostak somehow better than the goalkeepers of St. Petersburg? The atmosphere was not enough.
– Striker Dmitry Yashkin said that SKA could not enter the game after a long break. Reasonable?
– Of course, it takes time to regain a good rhythm of play. But the residents of St. Petersburg compiled the schedule themselves. So they were too smart, they prescribed themselves too much rest,” Krikunov told .
The second game of the series between SKA and Dynamo Minsk will take place on Friday in Saint Petersburg. The series will end when one of the teams has achieved four wins.
