Omsk Avangard Head Coach Dmitry Ryabykin says that Andrei Nazarov section “Sochi ”, predicted a fight between the players a few minutes before the opening match of the Nikolai Puchkov tournament in St. Petersburg.
Thursday “Avant-garde lost to Novosibirsk “Siberia” with the score of 1:2 in the pre-season tournament. A day earlier, at the start of the match between the Omsk team and Sochi, there was a massive fight of hockey players.
– If you remember the start of the tournament: the first match, the starting face-off, the fight – why?
I don’t know, that’s not my question. There is such a Mr. Nazarov, I think he will answer you. I found out that they were re-scheduling this fight three minutes before the match started.
Is it unsportsmanlike not to participate?
– Listen, if a person’s task is only to fight, these are his problems. The same does not happen, if you get hit in the face will you dodge or what to do? We play a male sport and are used to fighting back, defending ourselves, defending a partner.
– Now all meetings between Avangard and Sochi will start like this?
– I do not know. We don’t agree with it, but if Nazarov wants it, I mean it. It is purely his wish.
– In the match with Sibir, Avangard seemed to be replaced in the first two periods. What do you think is the main reason for the defeat?
— I think the guys came out a little undertuned. In the first half, there was a lot of majority, but they didn’t realize it. Somewhere they wanted to show a nice scratch, it turned out that in my opinion, for the first four majority, they only threw at goal twice when the puck came. There are no goals without shots. In the second period, it turned out that we played a lot in the minority and that we cashed. What I liked was that in the third, the guys gave it their all and tried to win that game, but it kinda didn’t work out.
– The fact that there was a pupil of Omsk in the opponent’s goal and at the moment has he trained everything in general?
– Denis played well today, with confidence. On the other hand, we made his life easier. They didn’t close it, we didn’t have a player in front of the keeper, there were very few shots I think. It’s also our fault – they left it feeling like a Tretiak.
– Do you agree with the cancellation of the puck for offside?
— To be honest, I haven’t watched this moment yet, I can’t say. I trust the judges, they barely found anything there.
– And Yarosh – did he leave earlier?
– I felt a little bad. The doctor has not yet said what is wrong with him.
“What are you going to try to change before the meeting with Severstal?”
– Tomorrow we will give more rest to our leaders, there will be a more experimental team. The gift of self must be changed. A lot of young people are going to join us, so I think everything will be fresher, we’ll see.
– Is it important to win the Saint Petersburg tournament?
– I kept repeating: no, it doesn’t matter. The only thing that will be fundamental is the game with Peter – it’s the last game before the start of the season, it’s the final preparation. We need to see all those guys we’re planning for Game 1 in action, if they’re up for it.
Are Gritsyuk and Bereglazov worth the wait?
– Let’s see. We are waiting for them to recover.
