Michael Garnett: I’m glad we overcame the reigning champions

Is it nice to score a victory against the reigning champions?

Of course it is, even though it was a hard-fought victory.

You once were a Dynamo player

Was it an additional stimulus for you to perform well?

It’s always great to emerge victorious against a strong opponent, so it really didn’t matter to me whether it was Dynamo or any other team.

They say after matches like this goalies lose from two to three kilos.

No, in general it’s not like this, but I think today was an exception (laughs).

Did you know about Valery Belousov’s ground-breaking record?

Quite frankly, I learned about that after the game. It came off a bit unexpected, but I am really happy for Valery Konstantinovich.
