The head coach S.K.A. Romain Rotenberg said that the winning match with Dynamo Minsk in the Gagarin Cup was reminiscent of a judo duel.
On Friday, SKA beat Minsk “Dynamo” (5:2) in Game 2 of the KHL first round playoff series. The series score is 1–1.
– An important victory for us, played with one fist, all for each other. Before the start of this series, I said that sports anger was necessary. It’s the playoffs – everything starts again here, each player must increase his level.
Strong opponent, many Canadians. Provocations – crawling under the skin. You have to be able to take a hit, respond with goals and not fall into Canadian dirty tricks. And whoever is strongest in spirit wins. Today we saw it. I’m going according to plan. As in judo, the opponent’s forces were used against the opponent himself.
There is good news. There are those who come back. I will not name names, let it become a headache for the opponent, ”reports the correspondent according to Rotenberg’s words.
On March 5, SKA and Dynamo will play the third game of the series, which will be held in Minsk.
