Sergey Plotnikov: We understood that we had to pass and the audience would not forgive us for losing

The CSKA striker summed up the results of the playoff series against Severstal.

— I don't want to comment on anything for a long time. The main thing is that we won — we go to the next round. Scored, probably gave some kind of impetus to the team. We continued to play more active hockey, brought the puck and scored the necessary goals. 

— Were the two goals in the third period the key? 

— We caught the rhythm of the game, added emotions. Perhaps the opposing team sagged at that moment, and we added to the game and scored. 

— Will it be difficult to switch to a new series? There is very little time.

— You never know which is better — a lot of rest or a little. There really isn't much time to rest. The best training is a game, so we will be in good shape.

— How do you assess your physical condition?

— On the contrary, the first two games were hard to roll in. And now I'm in good shape and I feel good. 

— What happened in the locker room after the victory?

— Nothing much. It just a load was taken off the mind. We understood that we had to pass and the audience would not forgive us for losing We tried to pull this match out even with the score of 0:2. Many thanks to the fans, a full palace. I hope there will be even more fans in the matches against Lokomotiv.
