Alexei Tertyshny: Win was necessary for team spirit

Traktor acting head coach Alexei Tertyshny: 
 It was a good tough game, it was full of action. We are very glad that we won. This win was necessary for team spirit. Guys did a great job. I would like to thank them for not giving up even when it was 2:3 for Vityaz, they tried to to everything and were awarded with the victory. I would also like to thank all the fans who came to support the team. We heard you supporting us.

Vityaz head coach Valery Belov:
I`d like to repeat my colleague`s words, it was a tough game. The problem was that we couldn`t score for a long time. The coin has two sides: from the one hand it`s a bitter loss, from the other hand we were close to the win. Probably we weren`t fortunate enogh. I`d like to put this loss on me as I failed with the lineup a bit. In the 3rd period we played in 3 lines and it affected the ending. Those the mistakes were made by experienced guys. Well, overtime is a luck of draw. I can`t blame anyone. I put this loss on me.
