Dmitry Semenyonok: «We had a good first period»

24.10.2025

Reaktor defenseman Dmitry Semenyonok speaks with the media after following win over Ladya (8–5).

– We had a good first period: we capitalized on our chances and played well defensively. In the second period, we relaxed. That is not good; we need to improve. In the third period, we knew we had no choice but tdo our best. Luckily, that is what happened.

– You scored two important goals in the third period from the slot. How did you manage to do that, being a defenseman?
– It was 4–on–4 back then. In those situations, our game changes; we try to pass as much as possible. It just so happened that during a positional attack, I ended up in the slot. A big thank you to the guys who contributed to both goals. I just had to put the puck in.

– For the second game in a row, the team lost its three–goal lead. Why?
– I would not say we always relax after a comfortable lead. There are always small things. For example, sometimes we concede absolutely ridiculous goals. After a conceded goal like that, the team's spirit drops a bit. Nevertheless, despite the difficulties, we find the strength to get back into the game.
