Before “Salavat Yulaev” Artem Pimenov told Metaratings.ru that the defeat of “Admiral ” in the third game of the series of the starting round of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs due to poor implementation and careful play by the Ufimians.
– Why did you miss the advantage in the match?
“They didn’t play their game. Rolled back, gave the opponent a breath of air. Their fans pushed them, they felt they could score. We had to keep running forward and press.
– Why does Salavat have such a hard time creating chances?
– The site here is smaller than in Ufa. Therefore, such a hockey is obtained. But we have already created moments, they were. We need an implementation.
– Are there any physical problems in Vladivostok?
We’ve been preparing for it all season. Everything will be alright.
– Thanks to what did two counterattacks succeed, from which you scored all the goals in the match?
– Well defended. The partners brought me well to throw. Fallen and hit.
What needs to change for the team?
“We have to play more in the attacking zone. We let the opponent play a lot in our half of the field. More puck control in the offensive zone. You have to throw, because the platform is small, there are a lot of bounces.
– Didn’t he intend to play defense in the third period?
– There was no installation. They were cautious themselves. We let go a lot, the opponent felt it. They gained confidence, they realized they could score. The first goal gave them a lot of confidence.
“Admiral” won the second victory in the series and again took the lead in games won – 2-1. The teams will play in Vladivostok again on March 7.
