Press-conference

Alexander Kulikov, head coach HC "Donbass":

- What can be said about the game? You've seen all. Such a great atmosphere, such support of the audience. And the game was very good today. This season we have not performed matches of such kind level and support of the spectators. Indeed, your team assembled, young and very talented guys and within a particular work, they can grow into masters. But - if they will work hard. Today's game you have seen. It is up to the end kept everyone on their toes. This kind of hockey loves an audience. Now then, let's say, when the score is 1-7 all is clear, and when the affair goes until the very end, and who knows what will be in the end, when all will be over. We are pleased to win this game. We are glad because we won it here. Once again, here is a very good team. What I would like to wish? To the guys continued to grow, becouse they are the future of Russian hockey.

- How did you lead the team to a sense before the third period and whether the desire to spend more of such kind of the games before the Continental Cup?

- We already have had more than 50 games by this time. Already on January 2 we are gathering after the New Year. When you play 13-14 games a month, with traveling, it is very difficult to carry out any other games except of the championship.

Petr Vorobyov, head coach HC "Lokomotive":

- The first period was equal, more or less. In the second I think we dominated and created a lot of moments. Somewhere two in a row remove cracked us a little, but we continued to play. And the second period we played in the same manner as outlined. And in the final already gone to recklessness, "the head" was not Good, that in the end it all ended. Thank`s to the fans, that have not given up and support us in every game until the very end. But you still need to understand that young are still has many emotions. This is sometimes overwhelming their minds, seriously, very seriously. Still we have very much work to do, especially in the plane of psychology. Because a lot can do many, but when the situation extreme, incredibly difficult to get to their consciousness.
