Reaktor player Nikolai Rulikov speaks with the media after a following 1–2 loss against Ladya.
– It was not a bad game. We managed to score first goal of the game, but we were not able to maintain the advantage. At the end of the third, due to our mistakes, we allowed the opponent not only to tie the game up, but also to win.
– What was the reason for the conceded goal at the end?
– First, we lost the faceoff. That was the beginning of the first goal for the gues team: we lost rebound control. The second conceded goal was even more bad to concede: we screened our goalie’s view and were not able to block the shot.
– In the third period, the team played without two defensmen. How difficult was the last period of the game for you?
– Actually, it was not difficult for me. We had good training camps, so we have enough physicality. Perhaps at some point it became difficult, but we got into the game rhythm quite quickly.
