Vyacheslav Butsayev:«Our team have a lack of defensemen»

Vyacheslav Butsayev, the head coach of «Neftekhimik»:

- Congrats to «Ak Bars» on a victory. We had one of the best games in compare with previous games despite the fact that «Ak Bars» won. Our team have a lack of defensemen. It is what it is. The guys tried to do their best but our mistakes led to this score. In the third period, we could tie the game.

- «Neftekhimik» had a five-minute power play. Your team failed to capitalize it. Was it the key moment of the game?

- Of course, that was a great opportunity. The opponent played well in D-zone. We gave an opportunity for our most experienced guys to get the job done. Instead of entering offensive zone and taking an advantage of a power play, we had too many transitions. There is no 100% tactic plan for every step on the ice. You have to know what you want to do on the ice.

Dmitry Kvartalnov, the head coach of «Ak Bars»:

- It was a good start; we played not good in the second period. There were no emotions until we played well in the PK. It is great that we scored a game-winning goal in the end.
