16.01.2024
Neftekhimik head coach Oleg Leontyev speaks with the media after a following 2–5 loss against Lokomotiv.
– We fought to the very end against a very strong opponent. We conceded goals due to our small individual mistakes. At the end we tried to use an extra–player on the ice. Nevertheless, the guys did their best. We are preparing for the next game.– How would you rate the way Nikita Buruyanov played?
– The guy is trying to do his best. It is too early to evaluate his game based on one game. We need to watch it over a distance of at least 5–6 games.
– What about coaches challenge?
– On the replay it was clear that the opposing player crushed our goaltender's legs. I think it was an Interference.
