Anvar Gatiyatulin: today is celebration day for Chelyabinsk
Harijs Vitolins, Dynamo Moscow head coach:
- Congratulations to Traktor on tonight’s win. We had no right to lose tonight. It seemed as though we lacked confidence. We have to get out of the predicament that we ourselves created.
Anvar Gatiyatulin, interim Traktor head coach:
- Today is a celebration day for the entire city. We understood that and were as motivated as ever. We would like to thank our fans for their support. I believe we were able to return the favor by taking this tough game.
Question to Gatiyatulin: You changed the order of line change. Was it planned?
Gatiyatulin: No, someone played an extra shift, that is why this happened.
Question to Gatiyatulin: Why Demchenko over Francouz tonight?
Gatiyatulin: Vasya had a very good away series. So, after having consulted with the coaching staff, we made a collective decision to make Demchenko the starting goalie tonight.
Question to Gatiyatulin: Are you satisfied with his performance?
Gatiyatulin: Yes, absolutely.
Question to Gatiyatulin: What about the first goal?
Gatiyatulin: Vasya could not see the puck due to heavy traffic, so I don’t think he is the one to blame here.
