Dynamo Moscow - SKA. Press-conference of game two

HC SKA head coach Sergei Zubov:

- If I sum the match up in two phrases, we begun in lacklustre fashion. We fixed the situation after we went 0:2 down. In the third period we handed the initiative to Dynamo, however in overtime the chances were even. Today, we didn't get lucky.

- What would you say about Ilya Kovalchuk's overtime penalty?

- It's a disappointing penalty, but what can we do. We will prepare for the next match.

- Do you agree with the referee's decision?

- I have already said that it was a disappointing penalty.

- Will Vadim Shipachyov be SKA's captain until the end of the series?

- That's not a correct question.

- Why was Joakim Lindstrom replaced?

- We picked the optimal line-up.

- Steve Moses hasn't played in the first two matches. Will he be ready for game three?

- We hope so.

HC Dynamo Moscow Sergei Oreshkin:

- I agree with my colleague, the chances were even. Thank you to our fans for the great support. Our players got too confident when we went 2:0 up, and we had a poor second period. We were patient in the third.

- What happened to Maxim Karpov?

- The doctors will have a look at him.

- Talk about the reasoning behind your time-out.

- We needed a break, we gave the guys a rest. Everything worked out.

- Are you following HC Dynamo Balashikha's results?

- If I have the opportunity, I watch their games. When I can, I go to the stadium.

- Was Denis Barantsev left out because of his 5+20 penalty in the previous match?

- We have a lot of defencemen.
