In key moments, luck was in the game”metallurgist “in the first-round playoff with”motorist “, the Yekaterinburg club will have to suffer a heavy defeat, this opinion was expressed by the defender of the team Nick Ebert .
On Tuesday, Avtomobilist lost at home to Metallurg in overtime (3:4) in the seventh game of the series and ended the fight for the Gagarin Cup.
– We were leading 3:1 nine minutes before the siren, but we couldn’t lead the game to victory. At first, the opponent converted the majority, then, with the help of luck, he was able to even the score. I don’t even know how the third puck hit the goal, apparently from the skate. It’s a very painful loss, but we have to get over it. We have a very good team and I can only speak positively about the players, the coaches, the staff. Next season, we will have to move forward.
– He said that Metallurg had the experience of playing in the seventh matches, but you didn’t?
– We also have enough players with playing experience, including with the championship, in the playoffs in different leagues. Luck and rebounds were on the opponent’s side, but that’s no excuse for us. In the playoffs, it doesn’t matter how the goals are scored.
– What was the season like for Avtomobilist in general?
– We started the season very well, but in the second half of the championship things didn’t go so well. In any case, we proved that Avtomobilist is a serious team. We have accomplished a lot this year. Already in the new season it will be necessary to continue working and thinking positively, Ebert told RB Sport.
