St. Petersburg forward SKA Marat Khairoulline said that the team’s hockey players are enjoying a winning streak in the regular season of the Fonbet KHL Championship.
On Tuesday, SKA defeated Dynamo Moscow in a home match with a score of 5:3. SKA won its ninth consecutive victory and is in fourth place in the Western Conference standings with 44 points.
— How difficult was the game with Dynamo?
— “Dynamo” is the leader of the championship, they did not need additional attitude. We started the match well, then we received unnecessary penalties. These errors must be taken into account as a whole. So the victory is very important for us.
— In such a situation, where the team wins all the time, are there any difficulties?
– Nothing complicated. We came to hockey for the victories, for these emotions, they never get boring. In addition, SKA started the season badly. Now we just enjoy the matches, the victories and we only want more.
— When we say that a series can put pressure on the players, isn’t that about SKA?
– To be honest, you said that, but I didn’t even mean it. We play match after match, the championship is long, a lot will happen.
— How were your goals born?
– Yes, everything is according to the classics: close your eyes – throw – hit. Seriously, I just saw the throw line and threw it. This season I’m not doing much in terms of performance so far, hopefully it will break through now, I’ll keep adding to it.
— Maybe the injury got in the way?
– Yes, I missed a month. All this had a hard impact. But now I’m gaining fitness and momentum.
— At the end of the match, Dynamo already wanted, if not to win, at least to fight?
– Well, their Canadians began to throw something at our doors. Hockey, emotions… It’s their business. We won – we move on,” Khairullin said, as quoted by RB Sport.
