Before “Metallurgy” Roman Kantserov after the match with “Lokomotiv” (2:1 OT) spoke about the key moment in overtime where Grebenkin provoked the opposing goalkeeper Daniel Isayev .
On Monday, Lokomotiv lost at home to Metallurg in the third match of the Gagarin Cup final series (1:2 in overtime). Alexander Petunin scored the winning goal in overtime when he took advantage of Daniil Isaev’s mistake: the puck hit the Yaroslavl goalie’s skate from the boards and ended up in the goal. The score in the confrontation became 3-0 in favor of Magnitogorsk. The next meeting will take place in Yaroslavl on April 24.
— What can you say about the match?
– Great fighting game. You can feel how much Lokomotiv was pushed forward by the fans. But we resisted their pressure. Our team of video trainers has once again done an excellent job. Their first goal, which could have been a turning point, was canceled. Then we found our game. Quick counter-attack, we scored first. This is a key point that decides a lot. And in overtime Sashka Petunin played billiards. And I think Isaev was a little shaken there.
— How did they tease Petunin in the locker room for such a winning goal?
– What is there to tease? On the contrary, we unite even stronger. Happy are those who are lucky. This makes us even more excited. And these goals which are canceled… Always, honestly, according to the rules. It inspires us too. Thanks to our trainer-analysts who follow all of this.
— Will you remind Isaev of his mistake in the next match?
— Nikita Grebenkin provoked him before overtime. He just stopped and said a few words. I left and got ready for the extension. I see Grebenkin rolling towards their goalie. Isaev tries to move away from him, but Greba becomes more and more persistent. Apparently, Nikita knows the psychology of goalkeepers,” Kantserov told .
