Head coach of Yekaterinburg “Motorist” Nikolai Zavarukhin said he was not satisfied with the way the team played the end of the FONBET KHL championship match against Novosibirsk Sibir.
On Thursday, Avtomobilist beat Sibir away (4:2). This is Siberia’s first defeat in six matches; the Avtomobilist extended its winning streak to four games. In the third period, with the score 0:4, the hosts took the numerical advantage twice, playing five against three opponents. At first the majority was done by Sergei Shirokov, then by Vladimir Butuzov.
— We have four tough games on the road. We fly over the country. It’s good that the guys recovered, had a good second half, scored goals, punished the opponent for their mistakes. And the ugly end, when we gave Siberia oxygen with our cheap moves. And congratulations to the guys for a good, hard race. The team played well, but there is a resource, and we expect even better play from many leaders.
— Can we say that Avtomobilist played for the score in this match?
— The main thing was that in the second half we did not allow the opponent to change, we crushed them with movement. We were afraid that the fourth away match would be difficult for us. Moreover, “Siberia” started strong from the first period. But we withstood this onslaught and played well.
— Check out the moment with Nikita Tryamkin, who abruptly pushed Sergei Shirokov after scoring a goal.
– I know they are friends. Maybe he gave her a friendly nudge. It was a friendly move. Everyone knows that Seryoga is a master and I thank him for last season. He helped us a lot. It was a pleasure to work with him. Respect and respect, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Zavarukhin’s words.
