Karri Kivi: Traktor keeps allowing easy goals

Kari Heikkila, Neftekhimik head coach:
It was an important win for us, and a home win too. It is always great to win on home ice. Tonight we battled a very good team which, in my opinion, is going be one of division’s leaders soon. This makes tonight’s victory that much more precious.

Karri Kivi, Traktor head coach: 
Typical start for us – a lot of mistakes in the first period. We just keep allowing easy goals which make us chase the opponents throughout the match. 15 players or so play a good game, but then a black sheep spoils the team’s effort.
