Neftekhimik forward Evgeny Mityakin speaks with the media after a following 1–6 loss against Ak Bars.
– We lost the game, but not the series. The day after tomorrow we have a game and we are ready.
– In the third period, despite the 1:5 score, the team tried to play to the very end. Do not give up - is it Neftekhimik style?
– Sure. Why should we give up? We have shown our character. They know that we are ready for the puck battles. We tried to do our best in offensive zone. There was a tough, men's duel in the playoffs.
– Evgeny, we had a great first period. What happened in the second?
– If you play against Ak Bars, you should not get any penalties. They scored three power play goals.
