– Obviously, before the game, they were first in the conference, and we were second, so it turned out to be kind of an Eastern final. We really wanted to win, the match was close and tough, with good energy.
What made the difference in the game?
– The answer is on the surface – the single ball decided the outcome. In general, an extremely competitive game with mutual chances. Personally, I really wanted to beat them, but that’s okay. Now is the time to prepare for the playoffs, we will focus on that.
– Did you expect the first line to play so well? Two Tatars scored – Yakupov and Dergachev, and Tolchinsky was just a little short of putting Radulov in the race for the top 3 league scorers.
– The guys played very well, cool attacks from the start. It’s nice to see that on the eve of the cup matches.
– Tell us about the fight at the end with two-time Stanley Cup winner Voinov.
– To be honest, I didn’t immediately understand who I was fighting with. I felt a push from behind, grabbed it further and rushed forward. Maybe the long arms helped, but there was no point in fighting, just trying to protect yourself. I was angry at the blow, we splashed our emotions. Everything stayed on ice, no problem.
– First round to come. In the season, you drew 2-2 head-to-head with Sibir, opening this championship.
– There will be a high intensity series, the opponent is not easy, we expect a great atmosphere in the arenas. It is known that in Novosibirsk they play particularly well with the support of the stands. It will be interesting and exciting, let’s see where we play, since you talk about the probability of a match in their new arena. Difficult emotional matches are ahead, you have to be ready, they have a great attack, they have their own interpreters. We have to build on our strengths, play well and beat them.
“How is your life in Russia?” I see you have echpochmaks, how do you like local food?
– Everything’s good. In fact, it’s the one pastry that I love the most. Chak-chak? It is also a dessert.
