- With HC MVD you all easily ended. As if they hadn’t played in the playoffs.
- I do not agree. There are no weak teams in the playoffs.
- 15 goals in three matches!
- It just worked out well. We can talk about our full advantage only in the first game. And in the second and third there was a serious struggle.
- In the second match you won 5: 2. What kind of struggle is it?
- We were just lucky - they scored a quick goal.
- But in Podolsk, it seems, it was really difficult.
- Yes, it was not easy. We did not use a lot of points at the beginning of the match. This influenced the further development of events. The game went wrong right away, nothing worked. And the opponent, on the contrary, added in motion. I would note that Travis Scott played successfully. But still, after all, they lost for a long time in the course of the meeting.
- By the way, it was rather unexpected. HC MVD in the third round played as if they no longer needed anything. But in the third match of the playoffs the team gathered, even led in the account. And in general, she acted as if the couple's favorite was not Metallurg at all.
- By the way, HC MVD has a very good attack. They added, got an advantage. But we were not ready for this.
- The hero of the first round of the Kudrna playoffs - 4 goals and 5 assists. It depends on him now how the team will play?
- I do not agree. Yes, he scores, but we have all three drums. Each link is strong and helps each other. It’s just that while Kudrna’s triples get better with the realization of moments.
- By the way, in your first match with HC MVD you made four assists. In the next two meetings did not score a single point. The fuse is over?
- Of course not. Just in the first game, the attackers scored from my assists. But in the other two matches they missed when I did the same comfortable passes to them (laughs).
- In the first round of the playoffs there is not a single surprise. Even watching is not interesting.
- I liked it when there were 8 teams in the playoffs. From the first game, the passions were higher.
- Do you follow how others play?
- Of course, we will know the results. But do not watch the game.
“Do you have any surprises?” For example, were you not surprised when Ufa outplayed SKA only on shootouts? Or did Dynamo lose to Lokomotiv in three matches?
“No, why be surprised.” This is the playoffs. Here all the teams fight, not sparing themselves.
- But you met with the HC MVD three times in the regular season and invariably won.
- And still they didn’t go out to the match relaxed. Because if you treat your opponent with neglect, you will be punished immediately.
- They say that the referees in the playoffs completely forgot about the changes in the rules and miss a lot of violations?
“I didn't notice that.” In general, I think that neither we, nor the HC MVD can make any claims to the judges.
- But the referees decide a lot?
“I didn't notice that.”
- How do you prepare for the next round? Do you continue to exercise daily?
- No, today is our day off. And tomorrow we will work on a light schedule. You can also say relax. We are given time to recover.
- But what about the notorious game rhythm?
- Nothing terrible, I'm sure it will not happen. And in general, because of the terrible calendar at the end of the championship, we did not see the family. But everyone has relatives, I want to spend time with them. And the next match is still far away.
