Mikhail Kravets: “Avangard had a problem with an accurate shot”

Friday, October 28, Omsk hockey players lost at home in the KHL championship game to Admiral 0:1 in overtime. And about. The head coach of the team, Mikhail Kravets, appreciated the meeting, noting that, in general, everyone did their best and, it would seem, it would be impossible to make any claims against anyone.

The mentor also noted the excellent game of the opponent’s goalkeeper Nikita Serebryakov.

– A very disappointing defeat, because, in my opinion, our team played stronger than the opponent, in all respects. And on throws, and on dangerous moments, we had an advantage. In general, throughout the work – the game in the zone. But alas, the problem was in order to score. Here, of course, the opponent’s goalkeeper played very well, pulled out, but such games happen.

I have nothing to reproach the players with, everyone was “burning”, tried, even the ratio of shots was 45:15 – I think this is a big difference. It cannot be said that someone was serving a number or was not tuned in. Who does what – everyone understood.

It’s good that, in principle, we scored 5 points in the home series of 6 points, ahead of the away game, we need to win there.

Recommendations on how to shoot this particular goalkeeper? They are generally given to us before the game, the goalkeeping coach prints them out, with an analysis of strengths and weaknesses, so, of course, they asked him to close it, as a result, there were a lot of moments with finishing off, closing someone else’s area, but you just can’t despair and don’t talk about the negative, we did everything we could.

As for the assignment to Tolchinsky to execute the bullet, which he himself earned.

It was my decision, I proceeded from the fact that he knows how to score such things, he has already shown himself in shootouts, plus in training we also see how someone beats them. He did a good job throughout the game. I thought it was a good chance for him to excel. And he would bring victory.

Also earlier we reportedthat Avangard defeated Barys 6:0.
