Traktor head coach Andrey Nazarov feels pity that his team has to finish the season so early after losing KHL play-off series to Metallurg Magnitogorsk.
"On one hand, Traktor reached play-offs for the third consecutive season under my reign and sealed the first cup victory", said KHL youngest coach to sport press. "On the other hand, we have a feeling that we didn’t manage to find out Metallurg’s weakest sides and play better against this super club. We don’t want to finish the season so early, because the team is in excellent form now".
"We were weakened by injuries of our leading defensemen plus our top scorer Skachkov was suspended. In general we are one of the youngest clubs in the league consisting mostly of products of our own school, that is very important for development of the whole Russian hockey".
"Traktor had been conflicting with our fans during the season, but they saw off the team with ovation. This situation increased people’s interest in our club in the whole country".
"By the way, even despite our budget is one of the lowest in the league, Traktor and fans will always set for maximum goal".
"To be honest, I didn’t keep my promise to our fans because we didn’t advance to the second knockout round though we were very close to fulfilling our task".
