Vladimir Antipov: we are not giving up!
After game 1 you said that to overcome Ak Bars Traktor should stay
focused and disciplined, but…
Yes, we weren’t disciplined in tonight’s game – two shorthanded goals. It’s an open secret that Ak Bars is great in power play, and unfortunately we gave them the opportunity to showcase that. Ak Bars was also focused on the defensive end tonight, and we didn’t attack as sharp as in game one.
During this season’s playoffs Traktor already had the experience of winning the series after trailing 0-2. Is that a comforting feeling?
Well, we have a couple of days to think everything through and make necessary corrections. We are not giving up! This series is far from being over.
