Offensive “Torpedo” Alexei Kruchinin on-air “” said the team must score at least one goal in Game 3 of the second-round playoff series KHL against S.K.A. pointing out issues with player psychology.
The meeting in Nizhny Novgorod ended with the score 4:0 in favor of the guests.
“We were timid in the first half. I don’t know what we were afraid of – the crowds, the stands, on the road played in a completely different way. We conceded two goals, in the second and third we tried to fix something, met counterattacks, in the end it was 0:4.
– Created a lot of chances in the second half, but didn’t convert. Can it be fixed?
I think it’s psychology. There are different times the throw does not work. But you’ve seen it yourself, some moments defy explanation. In the second period, Kirill Voronin misses the empty goal from the center, has Serezha Goncharuk forgotten how to shoot? Jagr once said, “If the puck doesn’t go in, then it doesn’t go in.” Today, she has never found a way to get there, no matter what we do.
– To what extent did the performance of the SKA goalkeeper influence?
“He caught the game, made some good saves, stayed warm.” It’s more about us than the goalkeeper and the other team. It’s hard.
– The fourth game, nowhere to fall back. Can it relax the players?
“We play as best we can. We create enough chances to play evenly. The games in St. Petersburg showed that we can score a lot of goals, but 0-3 in the series. In the playoffs, the main thing is to win the last game, now for us every game is the last, “said Kruchinin on the air of the program” All for the match!
The score of the series up to four wins was 3-0 in favor of the St. Petersburg club. The fourth game will take place on March 22 in Nizhny Novgorod.
