Vyacheslav Butsayev:«Today it is more about team victory»

Vyacheslav Butsayev, the head coach of  «Neftekhimik»:

- It was interesting game. In the second period, we got unnecessary two penalties. Of course, the opponent's strong point is playing in the majority. Later, we played in the right way. I think that games like this are useful for us, when you got one puck lead and had to stick to the system and tactic. I would like to congratulate our team on a victory.

- Yesterday, Aleksei Kovalev, after first victory over «Kunlun RS», said that his team got a victory due to character. Is it right to say the same about victory of «Neftekhimik»?

- You know, there is probably more than one thing that influenced the game: skill, character, luck etc. These things combined. Today it is more about team victory.

- Our PK unit played well last game not taking into account today’s game. Why did «Neftekhimik» concede three pucks?

- I repeat - this is one of the strengths of the opponent. We need to work on this. 

- Mikhail Byakin played his second game and scored 2 points (1+1). Why did he not play more before?

- I will not reveal a secret to anyone - you know the reason. Mikhail was gaining good physical condition after being ill. Now he is in the lineup.

- Pavel Poryadin was injured. How does he feel?

- Our medical staff will exam him. Now I cannot say anything for sure.
