Steve Moses: "The early goal was really important"

- What conclusions did you make after the previous match?

- I think that we played a really tight defensive game. We wanted to wait for our opportunities and make the most of them. Our powerplay did a great job, and we played solid as a team. I think that it was a good performance.

- For the first period, what was the game plan?

- We wanted to play a tight game, and limit their chances. We didn't want to give them odd man rushes. I think that we executed the game plan, and it was a great win.

- How did you create such a contrast between Friday's game and this one?

- It seems like kind of the same question. We played a little bit loose with the puck last game, and made too many turnovers. They are a good team on the counterattack. We need to continue playing like we did today, and not give them too many free chances.

- How did you wish Vadim Shipachyov a happy birthday?

- We said happy birthday to him, and I think that he gave himself a nice present today with the hat trick.

- Vadim's line has racked up a lot of points. What is preventing the other players from doing the same?

- They are playing really well on the powerplay. Everyone wants to do their job. In the playoffs only the wins matter, and that's all that we care about in the locker room. The regular season is one thing, but in the playoffs it's more about winning.

- What was today's key moment? And how important is it psychologically to travel to Moscow level at 2:2?

- It was important that we scored the first goal. It's going to be a tight game every time we play, so if we can make them push their offence a little bit, we know that they will make more mistakes. The first goal was big, and it was a great pass on the powerplay. An early goal was really important.
