Igor Fyodorov: «We did not take advantage of goal–scoring chances»

Reaktor head coach Igor Fydorov speaks with the media after a following 3–4 loss against Mamonty Ugry:

– We did not take advantage of goal–scoring chances. Well, due to their age, some guys were unprepared. I will say this: everyone should play. We had a weak defense, finishing the game with five defensemen is difficult. The opposing team is a strong opponent. I have mixed feelings – I am both pleased and dissatisfied with our game. Dissatisfaction comes from conceded shorthanded goal. In games like this you have to score. Let's hope that things get better.

– The team scored three goal in the third. How did it happen?
– The season is coming to an end, the guys all know the price of mistakes. Nobody wants to watch hockey on TV, they want to play hockey. It all depends on the guys. For young players, this is their first JHL season, they do not have enough experience.

– Have you changed anything in the way your team played in compare with first game against this opponent?
– We have not changed anything. We play the way we play. We play fast–paced hockey with puck battles. In general, the boys tried hard, everyone wanted to win, but the strongest and the one who makes the least mistakes wins.
