Vadim Shipachyov: "Everyone really wants to win"

- Did you feel how the puck was flying when preparing to shoot for your goal?

- No, it was on its edge, but it's good that it went into the far corner.

- How do you feel after such a strange game? You scored six, but conceded some unneeded goals.

- Yes, we played poorly in the third period. We wanted to play from defence not giving away a lot of strength. We made stupid mistakes however and allowed the opponents to settle into the game.

- What did Vyacheslav Bykov say during the timeout?

- To not lose our confidence and not give the opponents any chances.

- Did that work out?

- Have you seen the score?

- It seemed as though SKA were doubly motivated today after dropping the last two regular season games. Is that true?

- Yes, we didn't finish the regular season that well. We are at home again, the Ice Palace is full, and everyone really wants to win.

- Did Torpedo surprise you in someway?

- They are a fast, physical team, and play hard. They are playing like they did during the regular season.

- Is there confidence after such a win that the series can be put to bed 4:0?

- We don't think like that, we simply go out to win every game.

- How is Artemiy Panarin's condition?

- I don't know, ask the doctors.
