- Vyacheslav Kasatkin, What are your emotions and feelings after making debut in the KHL.

  Feelings are positive. At the first blush, the game does not differ from the JHL, but the tension and pace of the game are much higher.

  This is a question to the doctors.

- Will you be on the «Reaktor» bench tomorrow?

   Yes.

- The opponent today was not shy about throwing shots from all positions, at the same time we played more defensively ... Why?

   It was as best as possible.

- How many players from «Reaktor» were in today's roster for the game and what exactly did you say to the team before the game?

- Before the game, the experts said that the score would be 0:10, 0:15. Nevertheless, the score is 1:2. Did it gave you some satisfaction or you was upset because of a defeat?
