Igor Ozhiganov and Vladislav Kamenev speak after the first match against CSKA

HC SKA defenseman Igor Ozhiganov:

- So far, in these playoffs, CSKA Moscow always win if they score first. How can you break their defence down?

- We do have the answers. However, the fact that we didn't score today shows that we didn't follow the game plan. CSKA are very solid when leading, their players have been competing together for a long time.

- What needs to be done in order for the second match to be different for SKA?

- It's not acceptable to lose a game by conceding twice during a single minute. Yes, the first marker was unlucky from our point of view, but we made poor mistakes for their second. 2:0 is a comfortable score for CSKA.

HC SKA forward Vladislav Kamenev:

- Your line was SKA's most noticeable today. What about the other players?

- All of us tried hard. The guys created opportunities during the first period, but we couldn't score.

- What do SKA need to change ahead of Sunday's second match of the third-round series?

- We have to want it more. Today, we didn't produce the level of performance which we had showed against Dynamo Moscow. We have to follow the coach's scheme.
