Tolchinsky on SKA’s relegation: “There has never been a more shocking defeat in my life”

Before SKA Sergei Tolshinsky was shocked by the defeat of the St. Petersburg team in the second round of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs to Yekaterinburg Avtomobilist.

Avtomobilist won the series 4-1.

“It’s still hard to believe that this is the outcome.” No, there has probably never been a more shocking defeat in my life. I don’t know how long I’ll be gone. It’s difficult to evaluate everything now. Crucial moment? Maybe it’s because the third game was given away. Although we still qualified for the next match and won. Today we also took the lead. If we had maintained this score, we would have been 2-3 in the series. We are going to Yekaterinburg and it remains to be seen how the series would have played out.

There was probably no turning point. I think the opponent just made fewer mistakes. Of course, we really missed the guys. We lost a lot of guys, even the captain. Pashka Dedunov is also an excellent captain, but Nikishin is still the main defender, as well as Borna and Pedan. All these losses, of course, took their toll,” Tolchinsky was quoted as saying by “Championship”.

The Yekaterinburg team became the second semi-finalist of the Gagarin Cup after Chelyabinsk Traktor. Avangard and Lokomotiv, as well as Metallurg and Spartak, continue to fight for the two remaining places in the semi-finals.
