Kudashov: Avtomobilist conceded very easy goals in loss to Dinamo Minsk

"I want to congratulate Dinamo on the win," Kudashov said. "We tried to get back into it, there were moments, but it did not work out. When you concede five goals, it is hard to count on an easy win. We concede easily, and that has to be fixed."

Asked whether Avtomobilist had made the wrong choice in goal, he did not single out the goalkeeper. "You can always blame someone. You know, no, because it is always the team that plays," Kudashov said. "A lot happened before those shots. We conceded very easy goals, which we let the opponent score ourselves."

Avtomobilist had four power plays and scored once. Kudashov was asked what went wrong. "I am used to being glad of what there is," he said. "One goal scored is already good."

If the goals conceded are the flaw Kudashov describes, the fix is more likely to come in defensive structure than in the crease. That is a reading of his words, not something he said.
