Frans Tuohimaa talks about his first KHL game.

- Frans, congrats on your KHL debut. How was it?
- It was nice, finally get into the games after practicing hard for couple of weeks, it was really nice to play today, but, obviously I am not too happy with the result. There is some good and bad things, 4 goals I’d like to get back, it is what it is, first game in the book and we have lots of time to improve, its good start.

- Were you nervous before the game?
- Not that much. It is part of the process to start playing these exhibition games, for now, it’s more like improving, we still got month before the real games starts, obviously you always want to be a little nervous that makes you focus a little better, obviously not too nervous.

- There are goalies who forget about the game right after final horn; other goalies prefer to analyze the game. Do you prefer to forget about the game or to analyze it?
- Well, I am moving forward for now, of course, I need to analyze the game, probably watch some video, what I did well, what I did not so well, what are the thing to improve.

- Could you compare Finnish Hockey League (SM-Liiga) and KHL?
- Just one game here, Kazan has skilled guys in the lineup, now it is hard to say after one game, maybe after ten or fifteen I could say.

- We wish you all the best, good luck!
- Spasibo Bolshoe! (Thank you very much!)
