Postgame comments of Vyacheslav Butsayev (Neftekhimik) and Sergei Svetlov (Admiral)

- First of all, I would like to congratulate my team on a victory. Both teams had different tasks for this game. We wanted to look at our players who did not play enough in this season.
I think that it was not right, that some "newsmakers" wrote a lot about money. It is difficult to catch a black cat in a dark room, especially when it is not there. We got more in terms of character, in terms of the team. The main thing is team’s attitude to hockey.
Sergei Svetlov, the head coach of HC "Admiral":
- Congratulations to "Neftekhimik" on a victory and playoffs. They played well enough decisive games. I wish you good luck in playoffs.
In addition, I would like to thank our team for their attitude to hockey. We battled through pain and adversity. All the team tried to win today.
We started well in the first half of the season. Unfortunatelly, in the second half of the season we failed to win enough games to be in playoffs zone.
I want to thank our fans. They supported us a lot during this season and despite the fact, that we did not get enough points to be in playoffs.
