Head coach of Moscow “Dynamo” Alexei Kudashov said that the “blue and white” want to take first place in the regular season of the Continental Hockey League (KHL ).
On Monday, Dynamo broke its ice “Salavat Yulaev” in overtime with a score of 2:1. Now the Moscow team, having scored 92 points in 65 matches, occupies second place in the Western Conference standings, behind SKA (93).
– Good game. It’s a shame there weren’t many goals scored. But I think the audience liked it. A match worthy of the playoffs.
— The team has started to split matches, what do you think of this trend?
– Of course, that makes me happy. We played the whole match responsibly, just like our opponents. Now there is no more “game”. Now all teams play on skill and not on awareness of the opponent’s mistakes.
—Why didn’t you release Gusev during the final assault?
– Nikita is not made of iron. In such cases, it is not always necessary to release the managers.
— Are you thinking about the Continental Cup?
— Of course, I want to win to have the first seed in the playoffs. But otherwise I don’t see the point… After that, let’s not shout that we are the strongest on the continent.
— Did you want to give Nikita Gusev a rest before the playoffs?
— Gusev loves to play, but we don’t even have the players to replace him.
— In your opinion, judging by the regular season, has the team taken a step forward compared to last season?
— Clearly, the team is gaining points and moving forward. The progressive movement is visible, it is the result of many years of work,” reports the correspondent of , according to Kudashov’s words.
