Dmitry Kalinin: "Any shot is dangerous on this ice"

- How hard was it to get used to playing on a Canadian rink?

- At the beginning it was a bit strange, but then we got into the game. The second half was better for us.

- Do Lada also play in a North American style of hockey?

- The rink is small, and as a result there will be a lot of physical play. They made use of long passes, dumped into our zone and made some nice plays. They made good use of that tactic.

- Despite being in the second lowest position in the Eastern Conference, Lada have shown themselves to be a strong opponent.

- Yes, they played well today. Nevertheless we managed to score on the powerplay, and then in overtime. We didn't feel comfortable at the start, but then it became easier.

- Tell us about your winning goal.

Maxim Chudinov shot from the left faceoff circle, the puck popped back out and I just shot. I didn't even see where it went.

- Was this goal scored as a result of the ice size?

- Yes. At the start of the match we didn't take advantage of this, although here any shot from any distance is dangerous. We didn't shoot as often to start with as we did at the end. We managed to score twice.
