Hurriedly reflecting on Avangard's loss to Ak Bars, Gi Buche voiced his thoughts.
In the season opener, Avangard Omsk faced a tough defeat against Ak Bars. Guy Boucher, the Canadian specialist and coach of Avangard, expressed dissatisfaction with his team's performance in the second half of the game.
The match, a closely contested one, saw Avangard starting confidently. However, after Ak Bars scored the first goal, the team seemed to get too upset, according to Boucher. Instead of playing patiently, they started rushing to equalize, which negatively impacted their performance.
Boucher acknowledged that Avangard had opportunities to score and equalize the game but failed to do so. He believes that if they had scored earlier, they would have been less nervous, and the game could have unfolded differently.
The coach also noted that it took too much time for the team to calm down after conceding a goal. He stated that Ak Bars outplayed Avangard in the match, acting confidently and defensively.
Despite the loss, Boucher is confident that the team gets what they've worked for, and Ak Bars deserved the victory in the match. He believes that the team needs to learn to handle such situations better.
Looking ahead, Avangard will play their next home game on Thursday against Amur. Boucher's comments suggest that the team's hockey in the third period was similar to what they would like to demonstrate.
The exact date of the next home game in the KHL 2025/2026 season is not specified in the provided search results. However, the specialist stated that in the third period, the team started to look like they can play.
As the team prepares for their next game, Boucher emphasized the need for Avangard to maintain their composure and play patiently, focusing on their own game rather than chasing the score.
