Disasters during Saint Petersburg’s four defeats SKA no, but conclusions must be drawn, because there was no consistent play in these matches, says the former head coach of the Russian national hockey team Vladimir Pluschev .
On Friday, SKA lost at home to Dynamo Moscow with a score of 1:3 in the regular season match of the Fonbet KHL Championship. This is the fourth consecutive defeat for Roman Rotenberg’s team.
— The question here is not the number of defeats, I do not see a consistent performance in these matches. There is a lot of desire, the guys give everything, but there are organizational problems. There are issues with the power play. There were matches where the team had such an advantage, but in most cases they did not use it, and it is a sharp weapon. If an opponent violates the rules and you do not punish him, it means that he begins not only to become impudent, but to believe in his own strength, that he can play in the minority. There is no catastrophe, but we must draw conclusions.
It was not clear that after the first two games anything had been done in this direction. Emotions, character, a call to give everything until the last drop of blood. But it’s hockey, there are still tactics and strategies.
I have always looked at statistics with a dim eye. Some even select teams based on statistics – they open the computer and look at the indicators, but you also need to see the player, feel him, know how to use him, in what combinations, and simple statistics are for those who follow the history of clubs, teams and players, – said Pliushchev “”
