Neftekhimik defenseman Ilya Pastukhov speaks with the media after a following 5–6 overtime loss against Traktor:
– We fought well, we took the lead. We should not make such mistakes. Because of these mistakes we lost this game. We know that we have the responsibility to win games. There is a fight for making playoffs. And that is why we need to figure it out, we cannot play like that.We are not paying attention to how our direct opponents are playing to make playoffs. For example, I found out how the opponents played after our game, in the locker room. We did not even look at the scoreboard during the game to see the results of other games. Everyone is focused on their game. We have to fight and get points.
We have a good mood. In two consecutive game with strong opponents we took one point. We just need to work on our mistakes and make sure we will not male the same mistakes again.
