fortune smiles upon the strongest

Postgame comments of the head coaches of "Neftekhimik" and "Sibir".

Vyacheslav Butsayev, the head coach of "Neftekhimik":

- First of all, I would like to congratulate "Sibir" and to thank our fans. In this game we had worst first period for all the games that we played. Our players did not understand that we played against fast team.

Yeah, we could tie the game when the score was - 3: 2, but again, such a ridiculous autogoal,  - from the skate of our defender. As it says, fortune smiles upon the stronges

Nikolay Zavarukhin, the head coach of "Sibir":

- Thank you for your congratulations. After a difficult trip, we tried to prepare ourselves to this difficult game. We were under pressure, somewhere we could not get out of this pressure. Probably in the beginning of the second period.

In the third period, our players played more disciplined. We got 2 necessary points.
