Press-conference

After the match, with "Yuzhny Ural" Alexander Kulikov said about force and class of the "Eastern" Conference teams.

- The game will be severely affected, the beginning of the game and lost one goal conceded, could still miss, but I'm glad that the boys had gathered showed character and won a difficult game. It is a pity that we in the third period did not realize their moments, they have had enough. The game was very tense until the very end, until the last seconds of holding the audience in suspense. The command "South Ural" we liked: very fast, mobile, Hammer in the first period they have one goal, I think we would have had very difficult. But great to have a good goalie and played our time we scored the opponent at the end of the third period, we, of course, helped. We were preparing very seriously after the defeat of the team "Mechel" - held a meeting dismantled game HC "South Ural" and I think that we helped to win it today.

- What are your first impressions of the game with the teams of "East" Conference?
- It is not easy, as the team we have created the first season, that year we played in the Ukrainian championship and then jumped over the first league, went above - just in VHL. For us, all contestants are very good and decent. Last game we had with HC "Mechel". It seems that it is not in the lead, but we lost them. Also, could today. At home, we lost the HC "Sputnik", although the team at the bottom of the tournament table. Lost HC "Ruby", although the game was the same. Instead, beat HC "Toros". This is hockey, sports, you can not win everything, you need to aspire to in every game, I agree. Teams Division "East", I think a little harder "West." This is the first trip to the "East" and we have taken just two points out of six. And we have not yet traveled to Tyumen and Neftekamsk! ..

- Why do you not invite players from Europe, with your opportunities?
- We have another team where the part is already playing an American, so this is an open question. Building a team - it's a complicated question. We have changed the composition of the ninety-plus percent. To the team played and gave the result always need a little time. While only three months had passed. Maybe we any of the players and get more. While those guys get along, are now in the composition.

- Is there a chance to invite someone from the Orsk hockey team?
- We have special people who are searching for and viewing players. I like your team, there are good guys.

- The task is to win the Cup Bratina?
- Our goal - to reach the final, to get to the playoffs. You should always put the maximum problem. Just playing, we are not tuned, we will fight.

Eugene Zinoviev, the head coach of HC "Yuzhny Ural":

- Today, although some goals have been abandoned, but the game was interesting, emotional, and the audience clearly liked me as a coach, liked both teams. It was evident that HC "Donbass" - masterovitaya team. We are today, especially in the first and second periods, imposed his hockey team and the opponent in the general look of the game with dignity. It's a pity that it is not implemented in the first period, a lot of things. A draw in regulation time - just after the match and the opponent in overtime realized his time.

- We have earned a point or lost two, for today?
- Most have earned, because the opponent was a very decent and things could take shape in two ways. It is a full time legitimate draw.

- Today in the links were changes, what is that for?
- Sergei Mikhailov played on the emotions of the first few games, but physically he is not ready, due to the fact that recently joined us. Vlad Sokolov sat down, as had all the game without substitutions in recent games and did not show that ice hockey, which is expected of him, and today we gave it a planned vacation.

- The goal was to solve something in the first period or a rival gave no further self-realization?
- In the first period, the forces of all many, a desire so much. An opponent playing cautiously, maybe we surprised them speeds, they were not ready for it. But in the second period earned eight penalty minutes and played in three pairs of defenders. In the third - missed in the second minute goal, he went mental decline. In general, our team look good, but in the first period just fine.

- Again, the same defenders were mistaken, that last game had to fail, may it be physical decline?
- Today in the standings, we are the fourth most missed washers in the league. I think this is a very good indicator. Which game we're missing one or two goals. Yes, there are errors, but without them nothing.

- Will there be changes in the roster for the match with HC "Dynamo"?
- Tomorrow will meet, we'll see an entry game, we learn, as one feels. Of course, we will make adjustments.
