Joakim Lindstrom: "I will remember my first goal inside the Ice Palace for a long time"

- Share your emotions with us after scoring your first Ice Palace goal.

- It was great to score a goal in our building in front of our fans. It was a great feeling for sure, something I will remember.

- Have you got used to playing with your new teammates yet?

- So far it's been great. I have come to a really good team, a really good organisation, and everyone is taking good care of me. The guys have made it easy for me to become a part of the team.

- What can you say about the arena's atmosphere?

- It's really great. The people are loud, really into the game, and on their toes cheering for us.

- How is it working together with Andrei Nazarov?

- He has a lot of fire and passion for the game. It rubs off on all of the guys, and I think that all of the coaching staff have put a great system in place for us. We really believe in him and all of the coaches.

- What has surprised you most during this pre-season with SKA?

- I knew that I was coming to a great team, and it has been first class treatment all along for me. Everything from the off ice arrangements to playing has been excellent.

- Did you buy that cap yourself?

- It was a gift from someone, but I like it.
