SKA - Vityaz. Press-conference

HC Vityaz head coach Oleg Orekhovsky:

- I would like to congratulate Sergei with his appointment as head coach. I am satisfied with how we held the game together. The guys gave everything for the victory, however we were lacking something. In hockey this happens. We are not allowed to speak about the referees, but I want them to act like real men. I tell this to my players, and the referees are not acting well at all.

- What incident are you unhappy about?

- The five minute penalty.

HC SKA head coach Sergei Zubov:

- I hope that all of the fans inside the Ice Palace enjoyed the game, thanks go to them for the support. I also say thank you to my players, they got it together after the second period and managed to win.

- As a result of Evgeny Ketov's injury, Nikita Gusev played with Vadim Shipachyov and Evgeny Dadonov. How satisfied are you with their chemistry?

- Any injury gives you a problem, and you have to find a solution. Today Nikita went into his own line, and made the result.

- SKA played like a real team today. Are you satisfied?

- The team showed character in the third period, and that led up to the positive result. Nevertheless, the start wasn't great. Of course I am satisfied, a win is a win.

- Did the fact that you were named as permanent head coach put any pressure on you?

- There is always pressure. If there's no pressure, then you aren't competing.

- What can you say about Anton Belov's and Dinar Khafizullin's injuries?

- With Anton we are taking it from day to day. Dinar will be out for a bit longer.

- And Evgeny Ketov?

- Day to day.
