09.09.2021
Oleg Leontyev, the head coach of Neftekhimik:
- Our team did a great job! Our PK unit did a good job, Frans (Tuohimaa - ed.) kept us in the game, especially at the last minutes. We blocked plenty of shots. We are getting ready for the next game.
- Why did Neftekhimik get so many penalties?
-I remember that feeling from the times, when I was a hockey player. Its like, you tried to do your best, to stop the opponent or to do a better play and due to these actions, you got penalty. During our meetings, we constantly tell the guys that it is too risky to get penalties in the KHL. Sibir have a good power play unit, we pointed it out at the tournament in Magnitogorsk.
Andrei Martemyanov, the head coach of Sibir:
- We played not bad in the first period; the team were completing our task. The second period was a bad one for us. We did not complete the game task for the period. In the third period, we tried to tie the game. In addition, we had good chances to score.
