We are in good shape for the playoffs. Personally, I’m fine too.
As for the opponent with whom we start the playoffs, it does not matter. If we want to win the Gagarin Cup, it doesn’t matter who we beat. Psychologically, it won’t be difficult to get into the playoffs as a leader. The pitch and the fans will help us in this task,” Nikolaev told .
