Vanguard “Vanguard” Arseniy Gritsyuk spoke about his mood for the KHL Eastern Conference Finals Series with Ak Bars.
– The playoffs are not the time when you train certain personal skills. We show everything we bought during the season. In our free time, we carry out restoration work. You have to approach Xeria with Ak Bars, their battle with the Admiral drags on, but you never know who will be on what tone.
Of course, we are ready for Kazan, all the time we meet them in the playoffs. I wouldn’t want to interrupt our costume, we’re tuned in to good hockey. I have never played in the playoffs against Bilyaletdinov before, yesterday I called Kirill Semyonov and asked him how he was as a coach, as a team. I’m just happy to be able to play against such a strong coach, for me it’s an even greater responsibility.
Ak Bars has guys that will crawl under my skin, but that’s only going to fire me up, give me even more emotions. Then the game turns out to be more difficult, and it is much more interesting to watch. Of course, you will have to fight somewhere, but if necessary, anyone can fight with us, defend the team. The time has come when there is nowhere to retreat, when there is no point in feeling sorry for oneself,” the club’s press service quoted Gritsyuk as saying.
The first game of the series up to four wins will take place on April 1 in Kazan.
