— What can you say about the goal? The end of the first period, what did you see?

— The offense in transition, it did not logically end. I knew there were a few seconds left to get the puck to the slot. And then a lucky carom happened and it flew into the goal.

— And your penalty?

— I do not want to talk about it. I only hope that it will be an example for me and for the whole team to know better than. It was on instinct. Again, you can not do that. There’s nothing to comment on.

— Did they say something to you in the locker room?

— No, no one and nothing. I apologized to the guys. They stood up being shorthanded. Dandies.

— Why was the game so tough and stiff?

— A lot of newcomers, we haven’t had game practice for a long time. All the same, two-way games are not that kind of game. There was little thought in the game, but I think it will improve.

 

On social networks, they wrote that you now owe Fedotov a dinner. Because you stood up being shorthanded.

— Of course, the goalie played great. Vanya pulled up at the right time, including me, thanks to him.

— Will this game be enough to play with Denmark and the Czech Republic more confidently?

Of course. We are glad to play this game. We felt the competition, not just a game. The next game will be of higher quality.

— Was it good that you played in the beginning with this particular opponent?

— It is great that we won. But here all the opponents are strong.
