KHL. Barys - Admiral. Coaches' comments (video)

After Barys vs. Admiral (2:3 SO) there was a press conference with the head coaches of the teams.

Leonid Tambiyev, head coach of Admiral

- First of all, I would like to congratulate the whole team on the victory. Such a victory is important. Everything is so difficult for us this season, it's hard to win so far. As for the game, I would say that until the score 0:2, we played a very solid game. When we scored the second goal, for some reason we lost the thread of the game and the initiative. We gave it to the opponent by our wrong actions. It was such a nervous ending. But I am glad that we won the match. We need two points now. We need to prepare for the next match.

- After the last game in Astana, you said that discipline let you down. Today how do you evaluate the actions of your guys? After all, two pucks were conceded in the short-handed play.

- I repeat, until 2:0 the game was in our hands. After 2:0 the penalties came right away. It was a slightly wrong action. It's like a snowball rolling in.

Andrei Skabelka, head coach of Barys

- I liked the match a lot. I want to thank the guys for their dedication, for such drive. The team worked hard today. Of course, such matches should be brought to victory, when you get back from 0:2 and dominate during the second half. Unfortunately, we lacked a little bit of composure in finishing, especially in the second period. And probably a little bit of skill, maybe, or luck on the shootout. Once again I want to thank the guys, very good teamwork.

- Two centers Omirbekov and Cherveny go on the power play in the second brigade, is this a build-up?

- These are guys who know how to play with the puck. It is clear that Cherveny is a master, a good, strong hockey player. Alikhan deserved this place with his work, his play. We have two power-play teams. While Batyrlan (Muratov - author) is injured. Most likely, he will take part in the next game. We'll think about it. He has already had two trainings with the team. We'll see who he'll replace in the second power play.

- Any information on injured Starchenko and Grant?

- Sore question, I don't think they'll be out anytime soon.

- Why wasn't Pasquale on the application list?

- Such a moment had come that he needed to rest a little, to look from the sidelines. Naturally, we count on Eddie as the leader of the team. He has to be the best player in every game. We wanted Andrei Shutov to come into the starting lineup today and play the match. We thought it was wrong to put Pasquale on the bench, we gave him a different look at the game.
