Nikita Popugayev:

- You can lose to any team, but it is not okay to lose with the score 7:1.

- Your team scored quick goal. What happened after scoring first goal of the night?
- «Torpedo» played well. We made mistakes.

-You had some kind of a break. How did you fell today?
- I feel great.

-In previous game against «Torpedo» in Nizhnekamsk, «Neftekhimik» got a win 1:0; today the score is 7:1. What is the difference between these two games?
-It is two completely different games. In Nizhnekamsk we played like a true team. Today we did not do the same thing; we made many mistakes and did not take advantage of our goal-scoring chances.

- «Neftekhimik» has theoretical chances of making the playoffs. Will it be easier for you, as for a young player, show your best hockey, when your team just finishing the season?
- It does not matter. You have to prove that you are the best from the start of the season to the end of the season. It is important especially for young players, who have spent here not much time. You have to be better, to work on your mistakes. In this way, you will definitely get a result.
