Attack SKA Sergei Tolshinsky summarized the results of matches with Traktor and Spartak during the regular season of the Fonbet KHL championship.
On November 6, the St. Petersburg team lost to the Moscow team with a score of 2: 3, and on November 9, SKA beat Traktor at home in overtime with a score of 4: 3.
— After the victory over Traktor, it is difficult to understand how the end of the match will turn out for SKA – good or bad? On the one hand, you allowed the opponent to equalize the score 26 seconds before the final siren, on the other, a second before the end of overtime, you scored a shootout, which brought victory to the team.
– No, why… Traktor achieved its 6×5 numerical advantage at the end of the third period. And then we won. Every defeat teaches us something, just like every victory. Let’s analyze the “video”, and if such a situation arises in the next matches, we will be more experienced. Let’s study the errors. We will try to remove them.
—What makes Traktor difficult as an opponent?
“They have artists who cannot be ignored. The team is fast, “works”, the goalkeeper is good, he carried a lot.
—Why did you decide to throw that way during the shootout?
“It seemed to me that he had opened the right side, under the crepe, and decided to throw it there.
— How did the SKA players survive the end of the match against Spartak, when the puck landed in your goal at the last second after a lost throw-in?
“Immediately after the match it was painful. We were sitting in the locker room, no one was talking. A defeat like that annoys me, I don’t remember that at all. But experience also makes us stronger. The next day the errors were corrected. During the match against Traktor, we already kept in mind that anything could happen. In overtime, 15 seconds before the siren, there was a throw-in in our zone, we stayed focused,” Tolchinsky said according to RB Sport.
