Head coach “Lokomotiv” Igor Nikitin after the match with SKA said his team did inappropriate things.
On Monday, SKA beat Lokomotiv (4:3 OT). Alexander Nikishin scored the winning goal in overtime.
— Ambiguous emotions of the game. Without harming the merits of the opponent, we did things unacceptable for the team game. We’ll sort this out tomorrow. I think this matter needs to be resolved tomorrow.
— Are you talking in particular about the second goal, when Plotnikov scored and all the Yaroslavl players fell to one side?
– No, it’s a technical and tactical question. Hockey is a team sport. It has its own laws. And the team that plays better doesn’t always win. And who is responsible for winning today. We wanted to win, that’s for sure. And I think the fans liked the match. But there are internal laws that we have violated. But we will find out for ourselves.
— Now Artur Kayumov is nominally on the fourth line. Is this necessary?
– Yes, this is not the fourth link. He plays as much as before. We simply have the possibility of four equal links. You can consider this a plus. This also goes with the fact that hockey is a team sport. And what difference does it make what level you are at? After all, you work for the team. And today Arthur scored his goal, did a lot of good things,” Nikitin was quoted as saying by the correspondent.
