Head Coach “Vityaz” Vyacheslav Butsaev was pleased with the players who managed to bring the game into overtime in the Fonbet KHL Championship game with Sibir.
On Sunday, Vityaz lost to Sibir in extra time with the score 4:5.
– In addition to the end result, it is probably worth thanking the guys. We managed to recover with the score 1:3, 3:4, but unfortunately we made a mistake in extra time. Again in the first half, discipline failed. We can’t win such unnecessary deletions which led to the opponent’s goals. Again, well done, that managed to even the score.
I can’t say from the match that we played badly. These reasons that I have already mentioned cost us the loss of an additional point. Why was the goalkeeper not removed in overtime? There was no such thing as us owning the puck 100%. It was a tight match. It took a while. I repeat once again that the game in overtime is a game of patience. You cannot score a goal immediately, you have to play patiently and skillfully. Of course, we were unhappy to have scored two goals in the last three games. We stressed the need to strengthen the game in attack. More passion, more focus on the door. Today it worked, but we conceded two goals in the minority after unnecessary withdrawals. Will Dorozhko get another chance? We have a goalkeeper plan for every game. Don’t worry, the season is long,” the KHL press service quoted Butsaev as saying.
In the next game, Vityaz will play with Amur.
