Metallurg Magnitogorsk - SKA. Press-conference

HC SKA head coach Ilya Vorobyov:

- It was a good, playoff like game. I am grateful to the guys for a great third victory and the victory.

- This was your first match in Magnitogorsk as the head coach of a different team.

- To be honest, I simply tried to do my job as to avoid being overcome by the emotions.

- What went wrong in the first two periods?

- The opposing defence played well. After the second period, I asked the guys to begin crashing the net more, and they listened to what I said.

HC Metallurg Magnitogorsk head coach Josef Jandac:

- I can only praise my team. It was an even game against such an opponent. We didn't make a lot of mistakes, the opposing team simply played effectively and won the match.

- Defenseman Evgeny Biryukov only played in three shifts.

- He picked up an injury. I don't know how serious it is yet.

- Metallurg will now play an away series after a tough stretch of home matches.

- We didn't create the schedule. However, we have already played a lot of games in quick succession. Tomorrow, we will rest and travel to Moscow, where we will play our next match. I think the players will be ready.
