SKA - Amur. Press-conference

HC Amur Khabarovsk head coach Miskhat Fakhrutdinov:

- We didn't plan on playing open ice hockey, but unfortunately, the guys pushed forward too much and we ended up losing. We let the opponents do too much in our zone.

HC SKA interim head coach Pyotr Vorobyov:

- During the three periods, we managed to keep more or less at the same level and we scored on the powerplay. However, it's disappointing that we conceded on the penalty kill again, it's a real problem. Yes, it was practically an own goal, but nevertheless they scored..

- Mikko Koskinen was seen inside the Ice Palace today. Why didn't he play?

- He only arrived at the start of this game. Sami Lepisto of Salavat Yulaev, a Finnish teammate, played for Salavat Yulaev today though.

- Forward Sergei Plotnikov was penalised with another penalty. Have you spoken about this issue?

- Not yet, but he has taken a lot of penalties. We will talk.

- Knowing that Amur play a defensive style with a good goaltender, how did you prepare for this game?

- My colleague has already spoken about this. In the end, both teams played open ice hockey, Amur made it easier for us.
