Igor Shestyorkin: "I am grateful to the players for blocking shots"

- Which game was the most important in this series?

- Today's. We managed to win and qualify for the final. I am grateful to all of the team for blocking pucks, they fought hard. Everything worked out well for us.

- Looking at the series score of 4:0, it seems as though it was easy for SKA.

- Every game, except for the second, finished with SKA winning by only one goal. The games were tough and there were two overtimes. Today, we spent almost the entire third period in our own zone. Lokomotiv put the pressure on. They have a well organised team, but they were a bit unlucky.

- Before these games, only Mikko Koskinen had played during the playoffs. Did you feel the responsibilty?

- I managed to go out and treat it as a normal game. I tried to not think about the fact it's the playoffs.

- SKA blocked 12 shots compared to Lokomotiv's one.

- This shows how committed our players were.
