Neftekhimik defenseman Timur Kol speaks with the media after a following 3–4 loss against Avangard.
– It felt great to play my first game in this tournament. Honestly, I was not even expecting to play. We just could not score. I had another good look in the second – pretty much an empty net, and I missed it. So yeah, if we get sharper in front of the goal, these games will be ours.– Maybe you lacked a bit of guts out there? I mean, you were facing a top team.
– No, not at all. This squad battles hard in every zone. We were fighting for every loose puck, every one‑on‑one all over the ice. So guts were nott the problem.
