Honored coach of Russia Vladimir Krikunov commented on the victory SKA in the match with “Cupid” and noted that he expected the St. Petersburg team to break the losing streak.
On Saturday, SKA won in Khabarovsk with a score of 4:0. On Wednesday, Roman Rotenberg’s team defeated Severstal at home with a score of 4:1 and ended a five-game losing streak in the KHL.
— Of course, there is nothing surprising in SKA’s victory. I said from the beginning that things would improve for the team, even after five consecutive defeats. “Amur” is a good opponent, but the army team was simply head and shoulders stronger. Everyone said: why did SKA take goalkeeper Pleshkov? Today, everyone understood why. Even before the start of the season, many also wondered why the St. Petersburg team needed a player like Alistrov. Now if you watch his game and study the statistics, all the questions will disappear.
Look at how Galchenyuk and Kadeikin played, but they haven’t reached 100% form yet, we will see their best game yet. Gritsyuk, Khairullin and Khusnutdinov were put on the reserve list? They were not included in the reserves, but simply received rest. There is a six-game road trip coming up, so the team will need new players, Krikunov quotes Championship.
