Head coach of St. Petersburg SKA Romain Rotenberg after the away victory against Dynamo Moscow (3:2), he said that his team’s hockey players were “playing with fire”.
— Excellent match, both teams showed brilliant hockey. We didn’t start in the best way, we got away, we have to start playing with discipline against an opponent like Dynamo – there are a lot of talented players there. Bravo to our guys, who survived in the minority, took the initiative, scored on the power play, then we imposed our game and played with the puck. The second half was ours, then we made a mistake, but we have to give credit to the team, the guys played together, with one fist. The most important thing for us is the next match.
— When should we expect goalkeeper Pavel Moisevich from the first minutes of the match?
— Pacha is great, he works very well in training. Time will tell, but he is one hundred percent ready.
—How important was it to throw first?
— In every match it is important to score first, we always strive to achieve this, but we play as well as the opponent allows us. They perfectly understood the level of Dynamo, it is a strong team, many guys have experience in the NHL, Stanley Cup winners, Olympic champions. Our guys played with passion, in the next match it will also be important to score first.
— How would you rate Laipsic’s performance?
— Lipsik worked very well in training, he was seriously injured and recovered afterwards. We held back and did not force its recovery. He is one hundred percent ready, he played well, but he can do better.
– Why was Glotov absent?
“We won’t reveal our cards, but he couldn’t participate due to health reasons.
— Information appeared on the Internet that Alistrov was absent until the end of the season. It’s true?
— I don’t know who is spreading this information, there are a lot of things that can be written on the fence. Vladimir is recovering, we expect his return in the near future. Let’s hope that everything will heal quickly, like in a dog, ”reports a correspondent, reporting Rotenberg’s words.
