Former head coach of Ufa “Salavat Yulaev” Vyacheslav Bykov told that Chelyabinsk Traktor hockey players were better prepared for the first round series of the KHL playoffs.
On Sunday “Salavat Yulaev” lost on the road “To the tractor” (2:4) in the sixth match of the Gagarin Cup first round series and lost the series with a score of 2-4.
— Can the leak of “Salavat Yulaev” be called shameful?
— I am not in favor of stating this categorically and talking about some kind of shame, since the level of KHL teams stabilizes every season. Worthy rivals try to show their best in this stage of the competition, but only the strongest advance. Traktor hockey players were better prepared for the Ural derby competition. I would like to congratulate Traktor for reaching the next stage of the tournament,” Bykov told .
