Defender of OmskAvant-garde » Ziyat Paygin told RB Sport that he did not consider the team’s performance in the Eastern Conference Finals playoff win with “Ak Barsom ” ideal.
The match in Kazan ended with the score 3:2 in favor of Omsk. The series score is 1–1.
– In principle, a good game came out. Great start, led to victory, except that in the end they slowed down a bit. They played with confidence, showed their speed. It’s good that we won. Let’s get ready for the next game.
– Do you think the first two periods were ideal for Avangard?
– You can’t play perfectly. It’s a game. There is always room for error or risk. But we have to fight for it, of course.
– In the playoffs, you play well in the first periods. Do you have any idea what went wrong in the last game?
– I didn’t really think about it. We have to start every game the way we started yesterday. So everything will be fine.
– Did the coaching staff emphasize the importance of the first goal?
It’s always good to score first. They played well. First, Vitya (Viktor Svedberg) charged from blue, then the second was dropped. All is well.
– Will a missed puck 3 seconds before the end affect you in any way?
– Already forgotten. The game is over, take it to victory. The rest is secondary. Now we are preparing for the next game.
– There are two upcoming matches in Omsk. What are the expectations?
It’s always nice to play at home. Stadium for 12,000 spectators – everyone is pushed forward. Just yesterday, we heard their support. We play for them.
The third game will take place in Omsk on April 5.
