Scott Gordon praised the first home victory of Tractor and spoke about the fans

Head coach of the Chelyabinsk hockey club Scott Gordon gave an assessment of the match with Avangard, in which Traktor won with a score of 2: 1.

According to the mentor of the “black and white”, he in his entire coaching career has not seen a team that would work so hard. He noted the coach and the ability of the "tractorists" to fight until the very end. “When your team loses a few games in one puck and two goals are canceled, it’s hard,” says Scott Gordon. You come to the arena and you have a thought in your head: what is going to go wrong now? Even though we conceded first, whether that goal should have been cancelled or not, we kept fighting and fought until the very end.

Gordon also said that the support from the fans is incredible and he feels vibe in every match.

Regarding the game itself with Avangard Scott Gordon, answering a question from journalists why defenders throw goals at the opponent’s goal, and not attackers, said that he sees no difference in which of his players scores. "I want to note that our strikers have done a lot of work to ensure that the defenders have the opportunity to throw, even if our attackers do not fall into the final protocol with pucks," the head coach of Traktor said.

Scott Gordon also revealed what the coaching staff talked about with the players four minutes before the end of the match during an impromptu timeout. According to him, they gave advice to players in case the opponent removes the goalkeeper and the game goes into the format of “five on six”. “We didn’t have to play five-on-six so often this season, but what we practiced in training, we had to repeat with the guys to better understand how to act,” the Chelyabinsk coach said.
