Valeri Bragin speaks after beating Sibir Novosibirsk on the road

HC SKA head coach Valeri Bragin:

- It was a great match, both teams had their opportunities and I think that the fans enjoyed it. The main thing is that we won.

- Why did SKA decide to play without the initiative today?

- Both teams had their spells of pressure, Sibir also played on the back foot at times.

- Mikhail Vorobyov raised his hands to his ears after he scored. Was he replying to the fans who criticised him during the second period?

- I didn't even see what happened there. All of our players are full of motivation.

- Two 5+20 penalties were reduced to minor penalties after video review. Had you ever seen this happen before?

- No, I hadn't. There's a first time for everything.
