Pavel Buchnevich: "We followed the game plan"

- Why was the first period so tense?

- I don't know. We knew that it was a crucial game in the series, and we didn't want to concede. We were all focused on defence, and made good use of our powerplays.

- Could you say that SKA won because of having tougher nerves?

- We were solid in defence, and followed the game plan.

- Did the 0:4 defeat in Saint Petersburg wake the team up?

- Maybe.

- What would you say about the foul against Vadim Shipachyov?

- If I'm honest, I didn't see what happened.

- Have you got used to playing without Ilya Kovalchuk?

- I won't answer that question.

- Can you say that the Dynamo five on three was the key moment of today's game?

- Yes, and I would like to thank our guys for blocking pucks. Mikko saved us, and this helped us to win.

- Was it difficult for you to play in such an atmosphere, or did it help you?

- It's not nice that the fans threw coins at us, that doesn't happen in Saint Petersburg. They have uncultured fans here.

- Did anyone get hit by a coin?

- Yes, they were thrown on to our bench.

- Will the series finish in Saint Petersburg?

- I hope so.
