Vitaliy Chernochub: Omsk Hawks had a good start to the match

As the mentor noted, the team lost their own “patch” and a missed goal in the majority.

– We had a good start, in general, the first period. Further – of course, you can’t miss in the majority, we had analyzed such moments before, but alas, we missed it anyway. He must have been thrown off track. And then they missed the second one. In general, we lost on the “patch”, conceded three goals from there. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to play well on the opponent’s patch.

Hockey was not bad, but we lost a nickel, played the majority poorly, this, in my opinion, is the main reason for the defeat.

We always start actively, we are not afraid to play actively, the squad allows us to do this. In Omsk, the first game did not work out, then it was not possible to start actively, we lost. But today, two missed goals summed up, as I said. The goal in the majority did not particularly follow from the logic of the meeting.

Plus, “The Seagull” played a little differently today. In the minority – more active than before. But such mistakes cannot be made. This is the main reason.

– Timur Mukhanov was not in the first link today, Leuka was. What is it connected with? Planned rotation?

– Yes, planned rotation. We assumed that there would be a lot of struggle, that the opponent would play actively, there would be many joints. This team is pretty big. We wanted to add some dimensions somewhere so as not to lose the fight. As I said, the start was good. But… until the first missed goal. It happens in hockey.

Earlier we assessed the second match of the series against Chernochub.
