Athletistic / Hockey. Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod head coach Igor Larionov shared his expectations for the match with CSKA. He also stated how closely he was following the military team and its current condition.
“Looking at the standings is a common thing for both a hockey player and a coach. However, we focus on our game and our hockey. In the next matches we will not deviate from our line – we will try to play aggressive and fast hockey, which is typical of our team.
Individual mistakes are upsetting, but it’s part of the game. As for the playoffs, “Lokomotiv”, CSKA or “Dynamo” are just names. We respect every opponent, but we are not afraid of anyone – we will move forward as a team, overcoming each other,” Larionov said in the Spartak press service.
The day before, on January 29, Torpedo lost to Spartak Moscow (2:3) in an away match in the KHL regular season. Avtozavozhets has scored 68 points in 58 matches and is in fifth place in the Western Conference standings.
