Press-conference

After the match, "Donbass" - "Lada" head coaches shared their opinion about the last match.

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

- In the first period, "Lada" had some very good moments to capture our goals. Very well played by our goalkeeper. Somewhere from the second period, we began to "wake up" and leveled the game. Scored a couple of pucks, and in the third brought the game to win. However, from the start, the game was very difficult for us , and if guests scored goal or two, it is unknown how it would all ended. 2:0 - slippery score. It`s stuck to almost the end of the match, and the game was really nice content. Thanks to the fans who came to support us.

- Today, the arena was almost full. Is it time to expand?
- If the arena was biger, for the spectators it would have been even better. Although this arena at the moment, we are satisfied. And for viewers and for the teams good conditions were created  here. Over the last year the team began to show good results and fans went to the hockey. I think people went to hockey precisely at the expense of the game, which shows the team.

Gennady Tsygurov (head coach, HC "Lada"):

- I want to congratulate an opponent with his victory, with regard to our game, we had an overwhelming advantage in the first period. During the game five or six outlets in a zero ... We have no right to squander these moments. We did not use its moments, and the opponent waited patiently for it`s chance. In the second period Donetsk players punished us twice for our blunders, and competently, solidly brought the game to the finish. I would like to mention on goalie of our competition play. Unfortunately, if you compare the game of goalies, the goalkeeper of the opponent just rescued his team. I would like to draw attention to one fact. After the second period, we turned to the inspector, but he did not respond. After the match he said that he will be dealt with in regard to judging. Fourteen penalty minutes to four, I believe that this is not biased, but one-sided arbitration.

- Does all the installations for the game completed by your players? What were those jobs?
- We expected to play an active first period. However, this tactic requires the implementation aspects. Be sure to get results, having the advantage. If you do not try to get it, some effort go out . Rival stood, we did not score, what happened next, you know.
