CSKA Forward Mikhail Grigorenko in a conversation with , he called the outgoing year excellent for the team and noted that the start of the season could have been a failure for any club.
On Saturday, CSKA defeated Severstal on their ice with a score of 3:1 in the Fonbet KHL championship match. This victory was CSKA’s first in the last six matches.
CSKA, current winner of the Gagarin Cup, with 50 points in 45 matches, occupies sixth place in the Western Conference.
— We played well, as a team, we helped each other, worked for our partners. We finally took two points and now we approach the break in a good mood.
— Has the five-game losing streak put a lot of pressure on the team?
— I would say it wasn’t the series itself that was so pressing – I don’t think anyone thought about these defeats – it’s just always a shame to lose, especially in the last matches. We seemed to play well, we tried, but something was missing, and this match had just that something.
— The calendar year ends. How can you evaluate this period for the team?
— We won the Gagarin Cup in 2023, so I consider it excellent. Yes, the start of the season went a little badly, but that doesn’t matter, that’s what happens in hockey. The most important thing is that this year we won a trophy,” Grigorenko told .
