Lada - SKA. Press-conference

HC SKA head coach Oleg Znarok:

- We didn't play well during the first period. In the second, we scored on the powerplay and managed to win.

HC Lada Togliatti head coach Artis Abols:

- The team performed well in the opening, but we couldn't score. Any team, especially ours, should take the lead when playing SKA. Everyone knows that you can't take penalties against Saint Petersburg, we conceded three goals shorthanded. I can't blame my guys for how they played before the score became 3:0, but after letting the third goal in following a faceoff draw, we played poorly for ten minutes.

- Why were you unhappy with Kirill Dyakov's penalty?

- Because he was given an extra ten minutes in the penalty box.
