Vladimir Bryukvin talks about a 2–1 overtime win against Barys.
– Congratulations on the victory!– Thanks for the congratulations. It was a good game. We had the initiative, but conceded a goal. Then we bounced back and got a win. It is always important to start the season well. So it is great that we got these two points. Let's move on.
– Today you scored the first goal for Neftekhimik in the new season.
– There was an attack right away. Dmitry Zhukenov dragged the puck along the boards and skated behind the net. They all gathered in the crease. Dmitry Sokolov made a great pass to Pastukhov, the puck bounced to me and I scored.
– Both teams took the initiative at times.
– We also had some good attacks. It is clear that when the score was 0:0, we were more waiting for the opponent to make a mistake in order to counterattack. When we were already losing, we started to play more actively. The initiative was already in our hands.
– This victory is probably very important from a mental point of view.
– Yes, exactly. Like I said, it was important to start with a win. We are happy with the result, we are working on.
