Patrik Hersley: "My focus is to get back in shape"

14 February 2017

- Why was this game so bad?

- We're not happy with the game, we expected to play like in the playoffs. In the next game, we will try to play better.

- For SKA fans, matches against Spartak Moscow are very important.

- Well, I think that this match was more important for us than the fans. Every game is important for us, especially when the playoffs are just three matches away.

- In the first ten minutes, SKA were excellent. What happened afterwards? Was it done to the team's physical condition?

- No, Spartak had a break too. Maybe we worked harder than them at the training camp, but when the game started, we were ready. It's ice hockey, sometimes these things happen.

- How do you feel personally? You hadn't played for a long time.

- That's a tough question. I am not where I was before I got injured, before I felt that I had really found my game and I started to play really well. I felt comfortable. Everyone who plays hockey knows how important it is not to skate for a month, my focus now is to work hard in order to get back in shape.
