Scott Gordon after the victory of Traktor over Dynamo wanted to take off his hat in front of Muscovites

The head coach of Traktor commented on a successful away match for his team, in which the Chelyabinsk team won in overtime over Dynamo Moscow with a score of 1: 2.

According to Gordon, in this match he is more satisfied with the performance of his team in the first and second periods, but you are in the third period, although in it he managed to catch up with the opponent, the Tractorists sat out too much. "Of course there was pressure from the opponent, they took advantage of our mistakes, including when entering the zone," the Traktor coach says. Today we lacked our characteristic actions with the puck, especially on boards. It was good for our rival. It was like a snowball. We spent most of the third period in our zone, although in the previous games we spent most of it in attack. I can’t help but take off my hat in front of Dynamo. In the third period they managed to close us in their zone in the third period.”.

Gordon at the press conference after the match had to comment on him with the players, in particular with one of the leading forwards of the “black and white” Mikhail Grigorenko, an emotional conversation with the coach who got into the sights of video cameras during this game. However, Gordon evaded a direct answer, explaining that during matches, it happens that the conversations of the coach with the players are really too loud. “It may seem that the conversation with some of the hockey players is quite tough, and with someone – just the facts, but all this is personal conversations,” says the mentor of “Tractor”. During the day, training, match, we as coaches always have to make it clear what we expect from hockey players. I think for the KHL and for Traktor I am still a new coach. The guys are still familiar with my requirements, just like I am with the guys.” At the same time, Gordon noted that he expects points and goals from Grigorenko.
