The CSKA goalkeeper answered journalists' questions after the match.

— The ending was tense. The fans were waiting for a victory. We tried to play reliably, but we played uncertainly in little moments. We made the slightest mistake in a key moment, and that's what it led to. Victories are hard for us, we need every scored puck like a breath of air. Each of us needs to increase our dedication. Statistics on blocked shots, fights and everything else leaves much to be desired. Our task is to find the things that help us dominate the ice as soon as possible. Victories are very important to us. We need to relieve the pressure load, throw off this burden. Everyone wants to win. The guys and I understand that this situation does not suit the team. Our men's self-esteem must be at the highest level in order to be respected. It's not for nothing that we win cups.

— My decision not to throw the puck away at the end of the third period when we missed? The decision was right. We are always taught that if there is an opportunity to make a pass to a defender, then we must give it to him. I could have made another decision, but they were closing the nearside to me, and it was pointless to throw it away. In any case, my throw would have been weaker. As it turned out, it turned out that way. Bad ice, you need to simplify the game.

— Do I feel extra pressure? Why should I worry? I basically don't go online. Our life is arranged in such a way that everyone likes to get under the skin, condemn and look for some topics to discuss, pick at dirty laundry. Panara (Artemy Panarin) and many others said that we don't need to add more pressure and cyberbullying to our lives. That's the way the world works, people will always try to cling to the bad moments rather than the good ones. You need to focus on yourself and the people close to you who really support you. Of course, I feel supported. For example, from the fans who really express such feelings, they help. The world is not without kind people. Due to such a positive emotional background, it will be easier for all of us to improve with each match.
