SKA - CSKA. Press-conference

HC CSKA Moscow head coach Dmitry Kvartalnov:

- I congratulate Oleg Znarok with his win. In the dressing room, I thanked my team for this match. We lost because of our individual mistakes, you can't put a foot wrong against SKA. The guys fought hard, but our discipline let us down a bit. We will continue working on this aspect. Nevertheless, the next match with SKA will be in Moscow. So far, the score in our series is 1:2.
