KHL. Barys - Admiral Coaches' comments (video)

After the match "Barys" - "Admiral" (4:3) a press conference was held with the participation of the head coaches of the teams.

Leonid Tambiev, Head coach of Admiral

- In general, I liked the team game. Movement, good correct aggression. I didn't like two things: the discipline, on which the result depends. These are the two things I didn't like today. We are returning to Vladivostok, and we will correct these two things.

- How did the episode with the removal of Graovac affect the game?

- I've already said - discipline. The removal had affected significantly. It is unacceptable to receive such a large penalty.

Andrei Skabelka, head coach of Barys

- A good emotional match. Lots of fans! First of all, I want to thank them for the energy they gave us. The players are great. We needed our first win, especially at home. There were good matches before, but we could not win a victory. Today we made it. It is clear that there were different moments, there were some deficiencies, but we will analyze this. I think the guys will just gain confidence and be better and stronger. We will prepare for the next match.

- Did Alikhan Asetov's fight give an additional impetus to the guys?

- Of course, any fight gives momentum, especially when a player stands up for his player. It's always the right thing to do, the right atmosphere in the team, and everyone is ready to fight for each other. Alikhan is a good fellow and also won this fight.

- Grukov has been transferred to the injured reserve list What can you say about the other players?

- Savitsky has recovered from the injury, and perhaps he will be able to play in the next game or with Spartak team. The same goes for Adil Beketayev.
