SKA - Severstal. Press-conference

Acting HC Severstal head coach Igor Petrov:

- I would like to thank the whole team for their professional attitude to their work. Everyone worked at 120%, and we managed to grab a point. We began the first period well, but made some mistakes and went down 0:2. The opponents then let us back into the game, and we did just that. We showed character and a will to win, although on the four on three SKA's class told.

Speak about Sergey Magarilov's performance.

- He was fantastic. We counted on Sergey, and we gave Jakub Stepanek a rest as he has already played a lot of games. Sergey was great, and helped us take a point away.

HC SKA head coach Vyacheslav Bykov:

- We won, so we can be happy with the result. However we aren't at all satisfied with our game. Our players approached this match too casually. We will review everything.

- How did Igor Shestyorkin play?

- He played well. He didn't make any real mistakes, and he saved us when it was 0:0. He did a good job, and settled into the game.

- Ilya Kovalchuk appeared today. When can we expect Viktor Tikhonov and Ilya Ezhov?

- I think that we will see Viktor before Ilya. Ilya can't even skate yet, and Viktor should be able to play in the next few games. But of course, everything depends on how he feels.
