Press-conference

Alexander Kulikov (head coach, HC "Donbass"):

- The game was not easy, we played twice with the Petersburg club VMF and both games were not easy. There are opponents - not very comfortable. We do not specifically prepared for this game, the most important for us now would be drawn into a game rhythm. Now we worked out on the "ground", worked out a lot and, of course, break that we had a little affected. In general, our guys looked really good, created a lot of moments. I am pleased with the result and what is now the guys have worked very well.

Yuriy Leonov (head coach, HC VMF):

- I want to congratulate HC "Donbass" with the victory. Contender won deservedly. The match is good. The nature of the game was tense and, moments were created were good. In the end, played some nuances. The main factor can be called a skill of the opposing team.

- Due to what the VMF could build an advantage after the first puck? What was the game plan?

- Game plan was: to go out and fight. It was the third match for us over the past few days. Naturally fatigue factor could affect, but we do not give the reduction on it.
