Head coach “Torpedo” Igor Larionov after the regular season game KHL against Kunlun Red Star noted the quality of the opponent’s performance in matches against SKA and Salavat Yulaev.
On Monday, Torpedo defeated Kunlun in the home match of the KHL regular season – 4:0.
“We were afraid of Kunlun.” We knew that they would bite to the end, like in St. Petersburg and Ufa. Thanks to the fans who missed the team. We dedicate this victory to Torpedo fans across the country.
— Were you afraid of “Kunlun” or that “Torpedo” would take longer to get into the rhythm of the game?
– Both. You cannot ignore the results displayed by your opponent. They won two matches against strong teams. We were afraid there were two sides to the coin, especially when you have a week off. You lose the rhythm of the game, but you give the players a break. But at the same time, no training can replace the game,” Larionov was quoted as saying by correspondent.
Torpedo has scored 15 points in 13 matches and ranks fourth in the Western Conference standings.
