Head coach of Lada Oleg Bratach after the regular KHL championship match against SKA, he said that the new St. Petersburg Ice Palace should be perceived as a gift for all Russian hockey.
On Tuesday, Lada suffered an away defeat against SKA (1:2). This match became the second official at the SKA Arena.
— Let me start with the fact that today we played against the strongest team in the league. We must pay tribute to the technical staff, who tightened the cogs of the system.
Today, SKA has a team with no visible weaknesses. We fought, we resisted, we had a chance to score points. But we were disappointed by the many suppressions used by the opponent. For the guys who previously played for SKA, it was an added incentive. I want them to keep this attitude for the next matches.
— How do you like the arena?
– Gorgeous! This is a gift for all Russian hockey, not just St. Petersburg. Every match here is a holiday,” reports the correspondent according to Bratash.
Lada is in seventh place in the Eastern Conference with 72 points.
