Two-time Gagarin Cup winner Alexei Potapov suggested the cause of the unstable game SKA this KHL season.
— How would you explain the unstable results of the SKA? Either a series of victories or a series of defeats.
— SKA can’t score first, and this is no longer just a coincidence, but a problem that needs to be resolved. The opposing team immediately starts the match with a lead, then can close, catch up with the counterattack and increase the advantage. At the same time, SKA must take even more risks and move to a three-line game.
— Maybe the SKA players approach matches with too much self-confidence?
– It is possible that they think they have such an eminent composition. But in fact, SKA players must understand that there are now four teams that any opponent targets. You can lose to Kunlun, Vityaz, Barys, but every team has to beat SKA. And if you start the match with a handicap for the opponent, it complicates the situation,” Potapov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
The St. Petersburg club occupies 4th place in the Western Conference standings with 35 points.
