Head coach of Khabarovsk “Love” Andrei Martemianov explained why the team performs poorly in the third periods of Fonbet KHL Championship matches.
In 15 matches this season, Amur hockey players have beaten their opponent only twice in the third period. The team is in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings with 16 points.
— Why is the team one of the worst in the league in the third period?
— Most likely, it’s physics that makes itself felt. The new ones, they haven’t played in the Far East yet, they come from the Moscow time zone. We also had a training camp in Novogorsk, they didn’t understand their bodies. Now that we’re back here, they’re starting to understand what’s happening to him. We will have an acclimatization period again, we will return home. This is not an easy question. It takes time to adjust your body. The same Gizdatullin has been playing here for eight years, so he adapted in one day.
I worked that year in Novosibirsk, there is a four-hour difference from Moscow, I will say that the first trips were also incomprehensible. There is still a difference, but you get used to it quickly. And there is a seven-hour difference with Khabarovsk, it’s not easy, but I’m not complaining, I’m just stating a fact, ”Martemyanov quotes Metaratings.ru.
