Alexei Kruchinin: "We continued playing the same way after conceding"

- It was a very difficult match against Barys.

- Yes, the opponents play in an aggressive manner all over the ice, we had to be patient. These are two good points for us.

- Did the early Barys goal affect SKA?

- These things happen. If we want to achieve something this season, conceded goals shouldn't have an effect on us. We continued playing our style of game and managed to win.

- How is David Rundblad?

- David and Alexander Barabanov didn't see each other and it was a big collision. David is in hospital at the moment and we wish him a speedy recovery.

- Did Barys change since the previous match with them?

- No, they played in the same manner. Maybe they played with even more urgency this time and it was very difficult for us.

- Are you ready to play Sibir in Novosibirsk? It's very cold there.

- We're all in the same boat. Sibir are fighting for the KHL Gagarin Cup playoffs, so taking that into account, they will have a special mindset for the game.
