Striker “Salavat Yulaev” Yevgeny Timkin told RB Sport that the team did not have enough luck in the first round of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs with the Admiral.
“Salavat Yulayev” was defeated by “Admiral” with a score of 2 to 4. The team lost in the first round of the playoffs for the first time since 2017
– How was the season for the team and for you personally?
— The regular season went well for the team. There have been ups and downs. When there was a series of defeats, we found the strength to get out of it. But the playoffs, of course, fell through, as they were knocked out in the first round. For me, the season turned out to be difficult, there were injuries. At the start of the championship, I didn’t play for long, I was recuperating, and then the match didn’t continue. But still, the season turned out to be interesting, I learned a lot on my own. The whole team has gained a lot of experience.
– What was missing in the playoffs?
“Actually, good luck. We dominated the opponent, but we couldn’t score. But it happens in sports. Admiral Nikita Serebryakov’s goalkeeper also played well.
– Can Serebryakov be considered the best goalkeeper of the playoffs and of the season?
– The playoffs aren’t over yet, but the guy has been playing great all season. It happens that the goalkeeper catches everything in one or two matches, then there is a “landing”. And Serebryakov kept level in all matches, and that commands respect. With Ak Bars, he also helped the team a lot. Good game.
