CSKA – Sibir. Comments from the coaches

Sergey Fedorov, head coach of CSKA PHC:

— Good game, fast. Sibir offered us good speeds. I think we've dealt with them. A couple of unnecessary dismissals in the second period. I'm glad for the guys — they found the keys to the goal in overtime. Dmitry Gamzin played great in the same overtime. There was a very good atmosphere on the bench, there was energy, it feels good. We are preparing further, correcting mistakes further. The absence of Nesterov? Planned activities in relation to the leading players. Is the mood different today? There are many factors. I would not like to reveal everything. But the guys are aware that the playoffs are coming. We have to play well, the filling of the game should be better — even after today's victory. The bench was friendly, the guys came from the line change to rest. We ask the guys to put all their emotions on the ice so that everything on the bench is aimed at recovery before the next change.

Sergey Krivokrasov, Acting Head Coach of Sibir:

— I think that the game turned out to be beautiful for the audience. Overall, we played well, both offensively and defensively. The technical elements let us down a little bit, but I'm happy with how the team got the game back. Even with the score 3:1, we didn't stop and played to the end. The guys did well, they showed themselves today. What tasks were set for the game? We always play to win. We have our own tasks that we solve, that's why we had this attitude. The guys are having fun and holding on to the game they've been showing for many games. They cling on and keep playing on.
