Press-conference

After the match head coaches of the HC "Donbass" and PHC "Kazzinc-Torpedo" talked to the press

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

- The game was like a battle. Until the end the audience was in suspense. There were two teams that have long been put in the playoffs. The enemy has played a very good today and showed a good aggressive hockey. Unfortunately, we have the problem, of which we are talking about with the team: ice hockey - it's not a football, it is very difficult to win with one goal. It is necessary to score. But the game was not bad. Yes, there were errors. At this moment, they certainly are. We had a ten-day break, we had not played, doing little other activity.

Oleg Bolyakin (head coach, "Kazzinc-Torpedo"):

- We talked to our guys that the "Donbass" - well-trained, very masterful team. Asked to play aggressive and tight, especially in the middle zone. Because when we played with this team on the road, in Donetsk, they have had the masterful skills to beat us. But little by little, our team adds. It's gratifying. More reliably began to play in defense, recently pay much of attention of each player to fulfill his functions, duties. Well done boys, even when we lost to the "Locomotive", the team still shows character, struggling to the finish. We has shown by our home games with the "Rubin", and today, too. I think the guys played decently, thanks to them. And it is gratifying that the fans start to believe in the team. Already, shall we say, this is our sixth player!
