SKA St. Petersburg on Friday scored a home victory over the dry, “Siberia”. What helped the St. Petersburg team: changes in the composition or the same great game goalie? This is related by coaches at a press conference at which the reporter visited Down-the-line.com.

Coach of SKA (St. Petersburg), Barry Smith:

– Congratulations to Sergey remarkable game team. “Siberia” perfectly played the second part of the game. Excellent in the third period was played Lamotte. In the second period, we spent a lot of effort for most. Guests have demonstrated that they have more power when going with the majority. Has done a great job our line of young players in the third period. Excellent return to the “Ice Palace” is much better here than in “Jubilee.” I hope that we'll stay here. Thanks to all the fans.

– What accounts for changes in the composition?

– Most likely in the near future we will not see any Moskalev, nor Hannula. As you know, the situation with injuries is always changing. Well, that Nemirovsky again in the composition. In fact, we're playing with three new units.

– Who would you like to play in the playoffs?

– Now more important to us have a great three weeks of the regular championship spend as much as possible. And how better to play with anyone, we do not even think.

– What would have been punished for fighting overseas in the match as “Ak Bars” – “Tractor”?

– The first player who climbed over the side, gets removal of 10 games. The same thing is happening with the coach. The remaining decisions are made after viewing the video.

Coach “Siberia” (Novosibirsk), Sergei Kotov:

-I really enjoyed today's fighting game. The only thing is that in the first and second periods, we had a lot of deletions. We had a lot of defense, but a minority took too much effort from the team. But before the third period, we kept the account 0:1. In the last period and could get even had the game in the majority. But, nevertheless, the final shot and failed. Once again to be congratulated on winning the SKA. This is largely the merit of the goalkeeper. In my view, in three games so we could not score him any goals. Do not score – not win.

– Who would you like to play in the playoffs?

– We first need to get into the playoffs. And any team from the top of the table is very strong.

– In the last game played well with the SKA goalie Evdokimov. And then left the team. What is the reason?

– Henriksson and Evdokimov left the team on the ground that are not shown very good quality. During the first minutes of the match and we lost 0:2 and 0:3. While they were at zero. I do not know, that did not have them. Three months was enough for running.
