Roman Rukavishnikov: "We need to keep that winning feeling"

- What is the main thing for SKA at the moment? To win, or to lose but prepare well for the playoffs?

- We cannot lose. Each game is practice for the playoffs, and we need to keep that winning feeling. We will try to win.

- This will be already the fourth match against Dinamo this season. Are you not bored of facing them yet?

- No.

- The format this KHL season has seen some teams playing against each other four times. Has the championship lost something as a result of this?

- Let the people at the top decide that. For me it's easier and more convenient when the regular season has two stages, like last year.

- We and Dinamo are already in the playoffs. Will this game have less attraction about it?

- Nothing is certain, as Jokerit can still catch us up. I don't know Minsk's situation, but it's 100 percent that both teams will play to win.

- Jonathan Cheechoo, Ryan Vesce and Alexey Kalyuzhny will all play in this match for Dinamo.

- We don't play against individual players, we play against a team. I don't think that we will pick somebody out.

- Have you looked to see who you will play against in the first round of the playoffs?

- Everyone keeps swapping places constantly, it's pointless to guess.

- SKA will probably play against either Torpedo, HC Sochi or Atlant. Do you have any personal preferences?

- No, it makes no difference who we will play against.
