The Head Coach”Dynamo » Minsk Craig Woodcroft said that at the start of the game with S.K.A. The team was not strong enough.
On Friday, Dynamo Minsk was beaten by SKA (2-5) in the second game of the first series of the KHL playoffs. Series score 1–1.
– We expected a quick start on the SKA side. And it happened. Probably, we were gentle, we gave the opportunity to score three easy goals. We didn’t play hard enough near our goal. But then they were able to come back to the game, because they believed in themselves and in their plan. The next 40 minutes the game was even.
Luck was not on our side tonight. We created problems for ourselves. The most important thing is that we still have time to fix everything.
Before the third match in Minsk, we are ready to switch, it will be interesting. I disagree that we played two different games in terms of content. Our game with SKA is a character battle. If there had been a better implementation, the game would have been different. We are hungry and believe in ourselves, these are the things that will help us.
As I said before the start of the playoffs, we respect the opponent. But when the game started, there was no room for sentimentality, – the correspondent quotes Woodcroft.
On March 7, Dynamo Minsk and SKA will play the third game of the series, which will be held in Minsk.
