Amur - Barys. Trainer's comments

After the match Amur - Barys (2:1) a press conference was held with the Head Trainers of both teams.

Oleg Bolyakin, acting head trainer of Barys

- We analyzed the mistakes we made in the first match with Amur, showed the guys and asked them to play more correctly, to be responsible for their sectors in the defense zone. I think that the third period was equal, in the first period due to the unwarranted penalties that we committed, the opponent took the initiative and threatened the goal quite a lot. Then, the game evened out, and I think the second-third period was almost equal. In the third period they could have saved the game in two seconds, but unfortunately they started making up extra passes instead of shooting on goal. Shutov's playing? We have no doubts about the goalie line. A positive factor, such a sweet pill - Roman Starchenko set a record (for the number of games for one club in KHL history - 780 games for Barys), if he had scored a goal a second before the end, it would have been even more valuable.

Andrei Martemyanov, Amur's Head Trainer

- As we suspected, today was a different matchup. You could see that the opposing team came out energized. I know a lot of people from that team, you can see they are progressing and playing with more confidence. We lacked, frankly, emotion - tough home series, and guys were playing beyond emotional strength. On the game - we did the task, we got what we wanted, we liked that the ending held up well, an important point. Bob [Igor Bobkov] kept us in the game - even though there weren't many throws, he caught his own.
