Press-conference

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

- First and foremost, I want to congratulate an opposing team with the victory. In the third period, "Sokol" fought very well. They showed how to play. Hockey is not 20 or 30 minutes game, it is 60 minutes. Unfortunately, our guys after the second period, thought that the game has already been done, because they were scored four goals. However, the opponent has shown us that nothing is impossible, that this is the sport and that's needed to play. I think today's game will give to the "Sokol" a good push up. As for us, we will do the right conclusions. Life does not end there. We understand that we need to prepare for the playoffs. Now we have a lot of guys under stress, working with a barbell, but it does not relieve us of responsibility for the defeat in the match, where we were leading 4-0. After two periods we had to win this game.

Vyacheslav Dolishnya (acting head coach, HC "Sokol"):

- It is very difficult to set up a team against the leader. The first period we failed. The second one - began to enter the tone, and began to play in the third. I would like to thank to the guys for what they did in the third period, they showed that they can play. I would also like to say a big thank to the fans for their support!
