Metallurg head coach Andrei Razin explained the reasons for the team’s defeat in the second match of the semi-final series of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs against Avtomobilist.
On Friday, the Magnitogorsk team lost on their own ice with a score of 2:4. The next match in the series will take place in Yekaterinburg on April 7.
In the second half, with the score 1:1, the attacker Magnitogorsk Maxim Mukhametov received a 5-minute suspension for hitting an opponent in the head. After that “Motorist” scored two power play goals.
– Something went wrong ? In principle, the result is simply not good, the game discipline has seriously failed, we cannot give up like this. We played well, we turned things around in the second half, we scored, there were a lot of chances, but unfortunately we couldn’t convert and it was the stupidest sending off. In the third period there were also a lot of chances, we could have come back, but it happened like that. Everything restart.
Mukhametov’s fate after his expulsion? Now I’m going to name five guards and we’re going to shoot him. There is nothing more to be done – since he promised to kill for such things, he will have to kill (laughter). Well, what should I answer? I joked and joked, but I can’t adjust the hockey player’s head and say “don’t walk away.” Every hockey player is responsible for his actions, I don’t know what he had in mind when he committed such an act. No one is going to execute it, and now, ”Razin was quoted as saying by the KHL press service.
