Vadim Shipachyov: "The result is more important than the performance"

- The forwards are finally beginning to score.

- No, we played awful today. It's good that we won, but during the game there were a lot of moments where we lost the puck. We can't blame the ice, but it was terrible: it's +30 outside, and we are playing in some sort of ditch. We need points though, and they are more important than performances.

- There were problems with the ice at training.

- Yes, we skated in puddles. Both teams were in the same boat, but they play here more often.

- Did the team do everything that the coaches wanted?

- I repeat again: we played terribly. The coach wanted us to play differently. It's good that we won and sometimes we showed a decent game.

- Was it physically hard to play in such conditions?

- We lost ten kilograms probably. We had to drink a lot of water.

- Will you recover in time to play in Moscow?

- We will have a day off to train and get ready.
