Admiral - Barys. Trainer's comments

After the match Admiral - Barys (2:3) a press conference was held with the Head Trainers of both teams.

Oleg Bolyakin, acting head trainer of Barys

- Happy for this victory. We had a long string of defeats. I've already noted that we had enough moments, but lacked a step somewhere. Today the hockey God was on our side. Pasquale played great at the right time, especially in the beginning keeping the team in the game. The rival created quite a few chances, but the skill of our puckstopper tipped the scales in our favor today.

- Both teams are unfortunately already eliminated from the playoff race, but the game today was a sharp, playoff-level game. What motivates you to play at this pace?

- First of all, we play for the fans, so we asked the guys to give their best. Delivered the right words to them that our fan base has been waiting for.

- There was a moment in the second period when 19-1 in shots on goal was in Admiral's favor, but it was just after the equator and Barys started to play differently.

- We changed the scheme of the game, because the hockey we wanted to show today, we lacked a bench today. Therefore, when there was a commercial break we rebuilt the team, changed the scheme of the game and this scheme brought us victory.

- Are you satisfied with the play of the team leaders, foreigners first of all?

- Mercenaries have worked two of those games solidly. If we had a little more of them, we'd have a better result. Everyone knows that we have injured players - Cerveny, Grant, Sklenicka didn't come for family reasons. That's why we have to change combinations, we try to improve the situation. But we create plenty of chances: we played on equal terms at home with Amur, and we lost to SKA on a shootout. It's hard to play without goals, but today we scored a lot and it became easier.

- It's hard, the emotions are overwhelming. Everything liked it except the score. It takes a long time to get ready to throw, it takes a long time to make decisions. We created a lot of chances, but we need to be able to realize these chances. Like the second goal we scored - past the puckstopper, a cleverly chipped shot. We have to make decisions faster. We had the advantage throughout the game, 50 shots, but what can you do. If not for Shulak's suspension at the end, there was every chance to equalize. There would have been a beautiful comeback, but it wasn't enough.

- Yesterday you said you weren't happy with the first and second period, but there was a win. Today we worked on our mistakes, but we managed to score only in the third period. What's wrong?

- I don't have an answer, there are games like this. The opponent had a lot of hits today. Yes, we had the advantage in the first and second periods, but the score is on the scoreboard.

- A double substitution of goalkeepers occurred. What happened to Ivanov?

- He was injured in the second period. I don't know how serious the injury is, we'll see.
