Chelyabinsk attacker “Traktor” Buddy Robinson commented on the victory over Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik in the Fonbet KHL championship match.
On Friday, Traktor defeated Neftekhimik on the road in a shootout – 6:5.
— The game was back and forth. I don’t think it’s the best this year in terms of content. I would like to highlight the character and spirit of the team when we managed to overcome all difficulties and come back into the match, losing by two goals with 20 minutes to go. I give credit to the guys, such victories are worth a lot. Separately, I would like to mention Mylnikov, who was in perfect condition throughout the meeting, we were charged with his energy. An important victory both in terms of confidence and in terms of position in the tournament. You have to try to climb as high as possible.
— Zavarukhin noticed the lively and friendly store. Do you agree that this was the key?
– Yes exactly. Even though we were on fire with two goals and the rebounds weren’t going our way, we didn’t despair, we pulled ourselves together, believed in our system and our skills. I have to say about Burdasov’s double at that time, it helped a lot.
— When Burdasov equalized in the last minute, did you have the feeling that the match would be yours?
– Yes, I agree, it was a big boost. We could have decided it in overtime, when there were some nice moments. But in the end they won in the penalty shootout, where our guys are among the best in the league in terms of performance,” Robinson said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
