Reaktor defenseman Ilya Vasilyev speaks with the media after a following 10–8 win against Sputnik.
– The coaches got us ready before the game. We learned from the previous game in Nizhnekamsk. We really wanted to win today, because it was the final game of the season, and we wanted to end this season on a good note. The emotions, of course, weren't very positive, because in the third period we did not complete a game task that coaches had for us. We conceded a lot of goals and ruined Sasha Kolymayev's stats. The main thing is that we won.– How did you score your goal?
– A big thank you to my teammates for creating that goal for me. I just had to score with a perfect shot. I'm really glad I did it. I worked towards this all season. I tried to play more for the team, but I couldn't score, and then this goal came. I want to thank my parents and dedicate this goal to them.
