Reaktor Acting Head Coach Ilnar Misbakhov speaks with the media after a following 8–2 win over AKM–Novomoskovsk.
– We played more interestingly and responsibly in compare with yesterday's game. We created many goal–scoring chances. It is great that we scored three power play goals. Plus Makar Kurbatov scored a ashorthanded goal. Sevastyan Sokolov's two goals should not surprise us. Previously, he mainly supplied his partners with passes, and himself did not score much. But now he orved himself as a great center. Igor Borodinov responded correctly to criticism – he scored two goals and did his best in physical play. We really wanted Vladislav Rukhlyadev to have a shutout. He kep us in the game. Moreover, the players themselves on the bench were shouting to each other from the middle of the second period that Rukh needed help with getting this shutout. It is a pity, it did not work out. Therefore, at the end of the game, we let Alexander Kolymayev play a little. In general, I liked not only the score, but also the fighting spirit of the team. It is also necessary to note the atmosphere in the stands in Novomoskovsk. Fun, noisy, happy faces of fans. It is nice to play when a hockey game is like a holiday.
