Torpedo - SKA. Valery Bragin's press-conference

HC SKA head coach Valery Bragin:

- It was a good game, both teams tried to attack. The second period was great for us. However, when we had a 5:1 advantage, we needed to calmly see the match out. We knew that Torpedo would keep pressing, they deserve credit for their performance.

- Despite being a centre forward, Artyom Shvets-Rogovoi is playing on the wing.

- We are happy with his showings on the flank, he is more productive there.

- There is more competition for the centre forward position following the arrival of Vladislav Kamenev.

- That's a good thing. When he is ready, we will decide where he plays. Why didn't Vladimir Tkachyov play today? He had a problem.

- What happened when you led 5:1?

- We lost concentration, thinking that the game was done. The main thing is that we won. Torpedo's players tried to annoy our guys? We told them not to reply.

- How do you feel about this away series?

- We earned five points out of a possible six. We are starting to improve.

- Does it please you that all of your goals were scored by Russian players today?

- This means that we have potential. Defensemen are scoring a lot of our markers? It's a tendency of modern ice hockey. They must be capable of playing successfully both in defence and in attack.

- Anton Burdasov has scored three goals in three games.

- He's playing well, Anton has been the captain for two matches as a result of Evgeny Ketov's small injury. He is displaying leadership.
