Head coach of HC CSKA Ilya Vorobyov commented on the outcome of the winning game against Avtomobilist.
- I want to congratulate the city and the club on the opening of a wonderful, beautiful and modern arena. It's a pleasure to play on it. Indeed, especially from the outside it looks very modern and beautiful. As for the game - we had very good first two periods, which predetermined the outcome of the match. We let the opponent get close in the third period for nothing. Apparently, to keep the spectator in the drive until the end.
- Today Stanislav Galiev scored two points, in the last game he scored a double. Can we say that he is gaining form?
- If he's scoring points, he's gaining. I wanted stability from him. His goal sense was lost in the previous games. He is a sniper, God willing, that he continues to do so. If he feels this confidence, he will score. This is a very important moment for us.
- CSKA won the battle in the slot. How did you do it and how did you analyze the opponent?
- We told the guys to get on the stick and shut down the goalie. Today they did a good job.
- Was there no fear and uncertainty before the game in a new arena?
- There was no fear, but there was a little bit of uncertainty. Maybe it's the honor that CSKA was the first to play in this arena. Basically, it has its own boards and bounces, the ice is still so bad. It's a new arena, it's going to take a little bit of time. So that was the essence of the unknown.
