Press Conference «Avangard – Neftekhimik» 02/17/2023.

Oleg Leontyev, the head coach of HC Neftekhimik:

– It was a tough game. Yeah, Avangard was a little stronger, but our guys fought to the very end.

– Vorobyov blocked the shot with his neck or head. How does he feel?

– Kirill is an iron man. He always feels good (laughs). He is good.

– Neftekhimik have two games in the upcoming home series with opponents who have no tournament motivation, but they have nothing to lose. Is this a good bad for Neftekhimik?

– There have been many games in history when a team that seemed to need nothing at the end of the regular season, but they try to do their best.

Mikhail Kravets, the head coach of HC Avangard:

– The team deserves the highest praise. After the game with Salavat Yulaev, the team played well. The only thing is that you need to take advantage of the goalscoring chances. It is good that we won.
