Viktor Tikhonov: "We need to be ready for Severstal"

- After beating Jokerit, how is your mindset for this game?

- We're pumped up. Severstal are a good team, they play great at home. We need to be ready.

- Soon, the team will leave for an Asian away trip. How tough will it be?

- There will be long flights, but all teams are in the same boat. It's a chance for us to test ourselves, we will see how prepared we are mentally and physically. We'll play to win.

- You have already beaten Severstal 4:0 at home. What can we expect today?

- That game was a long time ago, some of our players were competing at the World Cup. Today, both sides will have their main teams out. It will be a different match.
