Goalie “Spartacus” Dmitry Nikolaev praised the game Severstal in the first round of the KHL playoffs.
“Spartak” defeated Severstal at home on Friday in the fifth match of the first round of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs. The meeting in Moscow ended with a score of 5:1 and allowed the “red and white” to win the series 4-1.
— It’s not an easy series, Severstal has a very good team in terms of tactics and system. She made it clear. Our coaching staff is great. He instructed us to press in all areas, so that everyone plays in their place and there are no sudden moments near our goal. Severstal has a good and young team, I can’t say anything. Maybe she burned somewhere or didn’t have enough strength. It was great playing with her. We haven’t yet thought about who to play in the next round. We played our series and we didn’t think about who we would face,” Nikolaev said, as quoted by RB Sport.
