Striker “Salavat Yulaev” Alexander Khmelevsky admitted that he cried because of the departure of the Gagarin Cup team, but he is happy with the way the season has gone for him.
This season, Salavat Yulaev lost in the first round of the playoffs with Admiral (2-4).
Of course, I cried. I tried to give it my all in this game. I no longer cried because we lost, but because the season ended. After all, we had such a good team, we had become such friends… It’s a shame that this year you won’t come to the arena anymore, you won’t see everyone in training. You understand that’s it, the end, there will be no more hockey this season.
I’m happy with how the season went for me personally, because I started it. I’m happy that in the tough times I pulled myself out of the recessions. This year, I raised my level. As for the team, elimination in the first round is not what we wanted. But we got good experience and growing up, we realized that the playoffs are the time to fight. I’m proud of the guys. Of course, we have not realized our potential. It’s a shame, but now we have to prepare for next season, so as not to fly away in the first round, – said Chmielewski “Championship”.
