“It’s better for the rooster to peck our players before the next game, and not during it” – Rotenberg after the defeat from Dynamo Minsk

SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg, after the defeat from Dynamo Minsk in the KHL championship match, expressed hope that the players of the St. Petersburg team will be ready for the next match and will show a high-quality game from the first minute.

On Thursday, SKA lost to Dynamo Minsk in a home match of the KHL regular season – 2:4. In the next game, Rotenberg’s team will host Avtomobilist on October 12.

— We understood that the game would be difficult. The opponent was no weaker than Lokomotiv, today we did not see the same energy that was in Yaroslavl. We gave a lot of effort there. You can win in the minority, but it is better not to complicate the task. We will work to remove the deletions. At home, players are required to find emotions to play for 60 minutes. There is no shame in the third period. There is a saying: “When the rooster pecks, the man crosses himself.” It’s better for the rooster to peck our players before the next game, and not during it,” a Match TV correspondent quotes Rotenberg as saying.

The St. Petersburg club scored 17 points in 14 matches and ranks fifth in the Western Conference standings.
