Reaktor goaltender Semyon Lyubalin speaks with the media after a following 5–2 win over Sputnik.
– The game was fairly even. We made a lot of mistakes, so we were neck and neck almost until the very end. It wasn't easy for us to win today.
– Probably the most epic moment of today's game was your goal. Tell us how it happened? Did you plan it or was it completely by accident?
– Actually, I did not plan it. We try, try, practice at training. I was practicing.
– Is this the first time in your career?
– I have never scored in a game in my career. This is the first time this has happened. At first, I thought one of our guys would pick it up, then it started flying back to the crease, and I realized that this was my chance. I saw the puck flying into the goal, but I was afraid that someone would catch it. It started to stop at the end, right before the goal line.
