Reaktor head coach Igor Fyodorov talks about a 3–2 win over Tolpar.

– Well done guys. We played against strong team, they put pressure on us for about two periods, I would not say that they had complete superiority, it was back and forth. After two periods we talked to the guys, made some small adjustments, got them going, and in the third period they showed a completely different game.

What was the most important thing we managed to change after the games against Ladya?
I would not say that we played bad. We played with two and a half lines, for these reasons. New guys arrived, we play with 4 lines, 7 defensemen, we can already sculpt something. I wouldn't blame the team for the games against ladya, the guys came out on their own, well, yes, they lost, but they fought, their eyes were shining. We couldn't pull it out purely physically. They tried, they wanted to, but it didn't work out.

There are games against teams from the gold division ahead. Are these any special games for you?
There are no special games, we approach each game the same way. It makes no difference. We have a working-class team, we do not have any purchased stars, we play with what we have collected. We all fight, we work for each other, brother for brother. And after 60 minutes, the result is either we hug or we swear.
