Yegor Yakovlev: "No one said it was going to be easy"

- How do you feel after losing the first playoff match?

- No one said that it was going to be easy. Probably, the long break took its toll. Our powerplay should have been better. Nevertheless, we will move on.

- Did Dynamo surprise you at all?

- No, we analysed their tactics and they didn't do anything differently.

- Dynamo were constantly arguing with the referees. Did you pay attention to that?

- No.

- What happened when Dynamo scored their first goal in overtime which was waved off?

- I fell into the goal crease, I couldn't really see what was going on. The puck slid under the goalkeeper.

- Does the team need to play more simple?

- Yes, we need to change things up.

- What was Artyom Zub's overtime mistake down to?

- These things happen. I haven't seen him yet, but we will review that incident and make sure it doesn't happen again.
