Lyuzenkov Slams Sibir After Loss to Neftekhimik
Sibir's coach blasted a wasted power play and passive defending from Kuznetsov and Beck following the 0:3 defeat to Neftekhimik.
Sibiryak's coach Yaroslav Lyuzenkov did not hide his frustration after his side went down 0:3 to Neftekhimik, pointing first at the power play. The team failed to convert a single man-advantage opportunity across 13 minutes of it in that match.
Lyuzenkov could not explain why his players looked flat through the opening period despite a decent warm-up.
He was pressed on the gap between the team's pre-season form and its results now that the campaign has started.
Asked specifically about the front-line pairing of Yevgeni Kuznetsov and Taylor Beck, Lyuzenkov gave a blunt assessment of their two-way play.
He pointed to the sequence before Neftekhimik's opening goal, when the pair came on after an icing call.
