Yaroslavl coachLocomotive” Igor Nikitin took responsibility for the team’s loss in Game 7 of the KHL Second Round Playoff Series to CSKA Moscow.
CSKA beat Lokomotiv 5-0 on Wednesday. The army club won the series with a score of 4-3 and will face SKA Saint-Petersburg in the semi-finals of the Gagarin Cup.
– You transferred CSKA, but the score was 0:5. For what?
– If the blows were active, it would be good.
“Maybe it was worth playing harder?”
– You had to be skillful. We conceded two quick goals. It gave CSKA confidence, but it took us away. This is the problem. I won’t say we played well at 0:5. In the end, it doesn’t even look good.
– Don’t you regret having left Ivan Chekhovitch in reserve?
– When I determine the composition before the game, I believe in these guys. Without it, it is difficult to count on success. Of course, it’s my mistake that the misalignment was on the ice today. But it’s a coaching job, I’m responsible for it, ”reports the correspondent according to Nikitin’s words.
