Reaktor Head Coach Igor Fyodorov speaks with the media after a following 0–1 loss against Irbis.
– It was a competitive game, both on our side and on our opponent's. We witnessed a game where no one wanted to give in. Despite the loss, I thanked the team for the game. If we keep this up, we have a great future ahead of us.We played against a strong opponent. They have five players in their fifth year. Overall, Kazan hockey has a strong system. Besides Irbis, there's Sputnik and Dynamo Kazan. So, there are about 120 players on the roster. That's worth a lot. I enjoyed the game. Looking at the stats, we had 39 hits, while Irbis had 33. We also blocked a lot of shots. It was a real derby.
