Valeri Bragin speaks about playing Severstal at the Nikolai Puchkov Tournament

HC SKA head coach Valeri Bragin:

- We did not have a good first period, we didn't enter the game in the correct manner. In the second and third frames we made an improvement. Unfortunately, our needless penalties have returned, we are constantly speaking with each other. I think that this won't repeat itself in the future.

- They say that teams need to work hard for their goals. Was that the case with Severstal today?

- Their second goal was on a two-man advantage, and there was a mistake from one of our players for the first one. We do not have the right to commit such errors.

- Why is Ivan Morozov not performing at a stable level.

- Yes, he plays really well in one game, and then problems arise. That is why we took him off the ice today.

- You will begin the 2021/2022 KHL campaign against Severstal Cherepovets. What can you say about the opponents?

- We will analyse this match. We'll be prepared.
