Head coach of Siberia Vadim Epanchintsev after Avangard’s loss at the FONBET KHL Championship, he said he disagreed that his team acted timidly in the third period.
On Monday, Avangard won a willing victory at home against “Siberia” with a score of 3:2. The winning goal was scored in the penultimate minute of the third period by Ryan Spooner, who was playing his first match for the Omsk team after his return.
— When the score was 2:0, we played badly. The opponent surprised us on the counterattack and took advantage of these opportunities. In the third period, the match ended with a goal. Unfortunately, the opponent scored from a free kick. We looked at these times, but alas. It’s a shame to lose such a match in the end. In terms of play and dedication to their players, other than these mistakes, there is nothing to complain about.
— In the third period, it seems your team acted timidly.
– Why shyly? It was a balanced match! I didn’t notice any shyness!
— Did you keep in mind that Avangard was on a seven-game losing streak?
“We all read the press and know the situation. Every match is important. It didn’t affect us. We have to correct our mistakes by handling the puck correctly.
– Do you blame anyone for these moments?
— Personally, I never blame anyone. This is our kitchen and we will find out the situation inside.
— Valentin Pyanov noticeably improved his game there compared to last season, when he played at Avangard. Is this your job?
“I don’t know what he had before that.” I knew he was still playing decently at that point. They stay after training and pay a lot of attention to it. During meetings, we study how the center forwards play, how they position themselves, what type of grip they have. In other words, we are working on the nuances,” reports the correspondent, according to Epanchintsev.
