general director “Vityaz” Igor Varitsky told RB Sport that the team showed a good result in the Fonbet Championship season KHL even if I wanted more.
The White-Reds finished the regular season in sixth place and lost to Lokomotiv 1-4 in the first round of the playoffs.
— I would like to thank the team and the technical staff with the staff for the work accomplished. They showed a good result, finishing in sixth place for the first time. The minimum goal of reaching the playoffs has been achieved. Managed to play for the first time not zero. I wanted more, but as it happened, it happened. In general, there are no complaints against anyone.
It’s wrong to be fooled by a playoff win. In sport, the highest goals are always set. No one has reached the playoffs to win at least one game. Hence the discontent. We are ripe for more serious tasks. Somewhere the damage is touched, somewhere the lack of experience. It’s not an excuse, it’s a fact. No luck, but luck to those who are lucky.
The banal rebound flew in the overtime of Game 4. In the last game we lost players to illness, in the penultimate game not everyone played. Lack of balance in the composition. But the most important factor is playoff experience. Players who went through this experience felt confident,” Varitsky said.
Last season, Vityaz sat out the playoffs, finishing 10th in the KHL Western Conference.
