Evgeny Timkin: "It felt as though the stadium was full"

- What emotions do you have after your first match at the Ice Palace as a SKA player?

- I only feel positive emotions! I think that around 50% of the capacity was at the stadium today, but it felt as though it was full. It was great.

- Lokomotiv played with the initiative towards the end of the game. Did you relax?

- I wouldn't say that. They made the score 3:2, so it turned out to be a tense end to the match. Nevertheless, these games happen, the main thing is to play well and win.

- Did you focus on the fact that Lokomotiv have two young goaltenders on their roster?

- No, we focused on our own performance. You always need to shoot the puck on a regular basis against any goalkeeper.

- When preparing for the match, did you bear in mind that Lokomotiv were undefeated?

- We always fight to win every game! The support was fantastic today from the fans. I would like to extend a huge thank you to them.

- Do you like SKA's black and red jersey?

- Yes, it was easy to play in this jersey.
