Neftekhimik forward Grigory Seleznyov speaks with the media after a following 4–5 loss against Dynamo Moscow.
– It was a good game. It is a shame to lose in such game. Our discipline let us down a bit, there were a lot of penalties we took.
– Having a two–goal lead, did we start playing to hold the score or did the home team tried to tied the game up?
– No, we continued to play our game. We played well, fulfilled the coach's instructions. I repeat, the penalties let us down. We conceded two goals while shorthanded.
– You had a chance to score a goal...
– I did not take part in the last game and tried to do my best today. I wanted to score and help the team to win.
– What was the turning point in today's game?
– It is hard to say. I think we dominated the whole game. We conceded a goal while shorthanded at the end. Overall, we played well.
– After 3:3 on the scoreboard, Neftekhimik took the initiative into its own hands...
– The score of 3:1 was in the second period. Sometimes they were squeezing us in the zone, we were tired. Because of the far bench, we did not have time to change in time. When the game was tied up, of course, we got angry. After all, we had a wild desire to win.
– Nevertheless, it was a good game...
– Well done guys. There were a lot of blocked shots. The goalie played great. Everyone tried to win today. It is what it is.
– Perhaps additional motivation appeared because of the captain's injury?
– Of course, he caught the puck and set an example for the others. I think that the point won is also not a bad result in such a tense game.
