Alexey Kudashov: “It was important to leave for the break in a good mood” – Hockey club “Dynamo” Moscow – dynamo.ru

Dynamo head coach Alexey Kudashov:

“Today it was very important to win in order to go into the break in a good mood. This is the 15th away game out of the last 18 – it was hard for the guys to find emotions, they played a lot of matches away from home. Well done, you coped with it and got out everything you needed. Severstal and I have already had scores of 0:0, 1:1 and 2:2 – in the next game, apparently, it will be 3:3 (smiles). It turned out to be another tough meeting with a good opponent – I’m glad we won.

— In the third period, Severstal had more shots on target. What was your mood when you initially entered this period?
“We should have won today’s game in a festive mood.

— How great is Maxim Motorygin’s contribution to today’s victory?
– Any victory is the merit of the whole team, I have said this several times. When something doesn’t work out for someone, it also works. Today’s game is no exception.

Severstal head coach Andrey Kozyrev:

— Today we played with the championship leader – a very good and skilled team, well equipped. We spent a lot of energy the day before in the game with Ak Bars. This year we had very tough matches with the blue and whites – there were both overtimes and shootouts. Alas, today we lost again. Well done guys for pulling out this game. The upcoming pause will benefit us now, we have a lot of injuries and the guys are tired.
