Roman Rotenberg speaks after playing Severstal in Cherepovets

HC SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg:

- We will draw conclusions about what happened in the first period. In that particular frame, we moved away from our principles. Nonetheless, I liked the way we competed in the subsequent two stanzas, we created a lot of chances which we should have converted. We must give credit to Severstal, they defended solidly and played excellently. Unfortunately, a lot of our guys couldn't participate in this match because of illness. We'll now prepare for our next game in Saint Petersburg on Wednesday.

- What can you say about the two quick conceded goals in the opening frame?

- They were conceded because of individual mistakes. We lost track of Cherepovets' players.
