Head Coach of Traktor Benoît Grou said that today everyone understood why Yaroslavl “Locomotive” is the best team in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
Sunday “Tractor” In the regular season home match they lost to Lokomotiv Yaroslavl with a score of 3:5.
— Today we saw why Lokomotiv is the best team in the league. They can win in any situation, but we had plenty of chances to get the win. Today my team played a good match, but the mistakes could have been avoided. It was a very exciting game.
—Could unnecessary withdrawals during the match have been avoided? Perhaps an overabundance of emotions?
— I don’t know if our last championship match influenced this one in one way or another; I wasn’t at Traktor last season; But the guys were ready to play and getting sent off is part of the game. There are a few takeaways, but I won’t blame my players for trying to play with their hearts.
— You called Lokomotiv the best team in the league. Can you call Lokomotiv the most North American team you’ve played against in the KHL?
“I said they were the best team in the league because they are in first place. Speaking of the North American style itself, I don’t know, it’s hard to say. They have a lot of good things, just like the other teams. This is the third season of Nikitin, if I’m not mistaken, they have a character that they have developed. Apparently, it is bearing fruit and success,” Gru was quoted as saying by a correspondent.
Traktor is first in the East with 34 points. In the next match, Benoît Grou’s team will play away against Admiral on November 9.
