Forward of Yaroslavl “Lokomotiv” Sergey Andronov in an interview with , he said that there was no point for the team to choose an opponent before the KHL playoffs.
Lokomotiv is in second place in the Western Conference standings with 78 points from 57 matches. The team has already guaranteed its participation in the Gagarin Cup.
— The Western Conference table has a high density. Are you somehow trying to calculate who it will be more convenient to play with in the playoffs?
– There is no point in calculating anything. In this case, you will not be able to concentrate on the matches. You must direct all your attention to a specific game. There is no point in listening to someone, in choosing someone for yourself. Because then things don’t go very well for the team. If a team has a goal to achieve, it will still have to play against the best opponents.
— Lokomotiv now has a difficult part of the schedule – SKA, Spartak, then Dynamo. Will you find the strength and emotions necessary to maintain the level that the team showed against the “reds and whites”?
“I think that should work to our advantage.” It’s not like a dress rehearsal for the playoffs. But these are good matches in which we have to test ourselves to understand what level we are at and what we need to improve. I think it’s just a plus for us,” Andronov told .
