Igor Fyodorov: «It is good that we held out»

Reaktor Head Coach Igor Fyodorov speaks with the media after a following 7–2 win over Snezhnye Barsy.

– Underestimating the opponent led to the fact that in the first period we even lost in the number of shots – there was no sharpness, no pressure. Maybe the quick goal did a disservice. Plus there were some ridiculous penalties. It is good that we held out. Like yesterday, we were leading by 2 goals by the second intermission and could have built on our success. It seems like we did not have an outstanding game, but we still have to note that Muissu and Gizyatov scored two goals. Krivolapov scored a goal in his debut game for our team. Sokolov added two assists to his stats. He should set a goal to get into the top three assists of the season – he is quite capable of it. Well done for Rulikov. Nikolai also made 2 assists, which is a good result for a defenseman. But that is not even the point  he set a high level of toughness. According to our statistics, he has 8 hits. Once again, as yesterday, I will note the opponents  they forced us to abandon the leisurely hockey and play fast and energetic hockey.
