Honored Russian coach Sergei Cherkas believes that St. Petersburg SKA shows the game at the level NHL .
On Wednesday, SKA beat CSKA with a score of 2:0. Roman Rotenberg’s team is in fourth place in the Western Conference with 59 points.
– I am impressed by SKA’s last two matches – against Dynamo Moscow and CSKA. After the match in Nizhny Novgorod, where the army team lost to Torpedo 1:3, some worried that the team had become addicted. And then the moves got in the way. But the coaching team made adjustments and in the matches held in Moscow, such mistakes no longer occurred. In general, in terms of content and quality, the duels of the military team against Dynamo and CSKA were fantastic. At the NHL level.
– Despite the modest score?
— The score in the match between CSKA and SKA is 0:2. The St. Petersburg team scored the second goal into an empty goal. But what moments! The game is lively and intense. Sometimes teams play and roll cotton. And here – a bright, difficult game, a lot of fights, chances, the goalkeepers work wonders. And Serebryakov played very well for SKA, and Gamzin, a young man, for CSKA.
— For you, it’s no longer the score that counts, but the quality of the game?
– Certainly. I saw how the St. Petersburg Army team developed attacks, how they “covered” their opponents in the middle zone, how they put pressure on them in the other zone, preventing CSKA from launching their brand offensive. I had a lot of fun. And mistakes in the match against CSKA were kept to a minimum. If the SKA players allowed, Serebryakov “cleaned everything” at the gate. He played superbly and it was no coincidence that he got his first cracker, Cherkas said according to RB Sport.
