"Gi Buche expresses his rush-inducing feelings about Avangard's loss at the hands of Ak Bars"

In the opening game of the KHL regular season, Ak Bars emerged victorious over Avangard, securing a 2-1 win. Guy Boucher, the coach of Avangard, acknowledged that Ak Bars outplayed his team, praising their stable and confident performance, as well as their strong defensive efforts that prevented Avangard from creating many opportunities.

Boucher expressed dissatisfaction with his team's subsequent actions after a goal was scored against them, noting that they started rushing and wanting to equalize as soon as possible, which played a bad trick on them. He believes that if Avangard had scored earlier, the game could have unfolded differently.

Despite the loss, Boucher gave credit to Ak Bars for their performance. He praised his team for their initial segment of the game, stating that they were playing confidently. Boucher believes that you always get what you've worked for and what you've earned.

Looking ahead, Avangard will continue their home series on Thursday with a match against Amur. Boucher believes that his team needs to learn to handle such situations better and start their games more consistently. The specialist also noted that Avangard took too much time to calm down after receiving a goal in their net.

The game with Amur will begin at 19:30. The Canadian specialist remains optimistic about Avangard's potential, stating that their hockey in the third period was similar to what they would like to demonstrate. He believes that with some adjustments, Avangard can turn their fortunes around and secure a victory in their next game.
