CSKA forward Maxim Sorkin summarized the results of the match with Vityaz.
- I was a little surprised when Ilya Petrovich said that today I would play with the captain's patch. It's an additional responsibility, and I tried to justify it. I wasn't worried, it wasn't my first time on the ice.
My goal was a coincidence. I hit the referee, because of that Poltapov ran out to zero. I was just trying to pass.
Minsk Dynamo is a good, disciplined team. We lost all the games in the regular season. But in the playoffs, of course, it won't matter, we'll tweak the details and go out on the ice to fight. There's always extra motivation in the playoffs, no matter who you're playing against. You have to give it in every shift, in every moment.
