Vladimir Grudinin: We were initially told that there would be a serious match

The defender of CSKA commented on the victory over Sochi.

— We created a lot of dangerous scoring chances. Probably, we failed to convert them, there were a lot of shots. The result is a victory, we can be happy with the game. 

— Many people thought that the victory would be big, but the match turned out to be persistent until the last seconds.

— We were initially told that there would be a serious match, the opponent was not conventional. It turned out to be an interesting match. Victory is victory. 

— Michkov performed a shootout. Is that a lot of pressure?

— I think it's more of a responsibility. Because of this, there may be stress, but Matvey coped with it. We failed to score, but it's in our favor. 

— This night is the final of the WJC. Are you following?

— It's a hockey festival, it's always interesting to watch. Especially for the peers. It will be an interesting match: Czech Republic — Canada. If I can't watch the whole thing, I watch the highlights in the morning.
