Artyom Borodkin: the game of catch ticked us off

- We did a lot of things right tonight. Francis played an amazing game tonight. About things that did not go too well – the defensive play. We got caught with the same mistakes. Coaching staff told us not to play like that, but we still did, so we are to blame.

Traktor got a quick lead, but Amur tied it up pretty fast. Did theteam lostfocus?
No, just mistakes that we made ourselves.

Did this game of catch influence Traktor psychologically?
I wouldn’t say so. Every one of us is a professional and understands that we need to play from start to finish without the emotions getting the best of us. I think it even ticked us off a little. Head coach said that we needed to keep it up.

Tell us a little about the last goal when you assisted Pare.
We were shorthanded, Deron turned the puck over, I picked it up, passed to it Francis who scored.
