The club from the Northern capital completed its performance in the qualifiers of the KHL in the second round.
“The playoffs are a completely different game, it’s not the regular season. Although we saw there how ugly SKA started the season. Then St. Petersburg picked up such a pace that “it seemed to me that they would take everyone further. When The SKA was on the move, it was able to recover from an unsuccessful start, the army team crushed and destroyed everyone. Why “Didn’t this happen in the playoffs? It’s not clear to me, but there is certainly no need to look for reasons from the outside. “, quotes Soviet Sport Fetisov.
