Neftekhimik forward Vladimir Bryukvin talks about teammates, changing teams and scoring a power play goal on the ice of Neftekhim Arena.
– Vladimir, is there any difference in quality of the ice between Moscow and Nizhnekamsk?
– I did not notice any difference.
– Have you scored here any goals?
– Yes. I remember one for sure. I scored on the power play.
– Who are you neighbors in the locker room?
– Garipov and Dergachyov are my neighbors. We were teammates during my hockey career. By the way, I know Nail Yakupov and Ilya Khokhlov; I played against Rafael Bikmullin during 3 on 3 tournament.
– Is it hard for you to change CSKA jersey for Neftekhimik jersey?
– No, it is not hard. Sometimes you have to change teams - this is part of hockey life. Sure, it is not easy to leave your native city. You know, my team now is in Nizhnekamsk that is why it is okay. I am glad to be part of the pack.
