Former Dynamo Moscow striker Konstantin Glazachev commented on the victory SKA against Metallurg in the Fonbet KHL championship match, noting that the St. Petersburg team needs to improve its discipline.
SKA beat Magnitogorsk in a shootout (2:2, 2-1 B).
— Current top KHL teams met in Magnitogorsk — Magnitogorsk had just ended a record winning streak, SKA had won 10 games in a row before this match. The match itself was also enjoyable: open hockey, many chances, excellent goals and combinations. I especially liked the first period, in which there were few penalties and the highest speeds – the opponents were worthy of each other.
Roman Rotenberg regularly repeats that SKA needs to improve its discipline, but so far the hockey players do not listen to their head coach. You can understand forced deletions, but taking penalties after the whistle or when there is no puck is unacceptable. This didn’t happen in the first game; now such a small minority is perhaps the only problem for the SKA. “Magnitogorsk in this sense was more careful and saved more energy for the end, but the draw in regular time, I think, is fair, and SKA has not lost on penalties this season” , Glazachev was quoted as saying by “Championship”.
SKA extended its winning streak in the KHL to 11 matches, Roman Rotenberg’s team with 48 points occupies fourth place in the Western Conference standings.
