Neftekhimik Head Coach Igor Grishin speaks with the media after a following 1–2 loss against Sochi.
– It was a disappointing game for us, even though it started with a quick goal. As I often say, I don't like quick goals unless they're immediately followed up with another goal. Everything didn't go according to plan, with taking advantage of scoring chances. The opposing goalie played well. We had some unfortunate injuries. The game just didn't go our way. We tried to save the game in the third period, but unfortunately, we couldn't score a tying goal.
