Playoffs. Match #3, Barys vs. Traktor – 1:3. Press-conference after the match

Valery Belousov, Traktor’s head coach:
It was all or nothing for us; we had to win, and we did.

Vladimir Krikunov, Barys’ head coach:
We got a little bit overconfident after two away victories. We all rushed to score right off the bat, but allowed a goal instead. The same for the second goal; you simply can’t allow your opponents to score shorthanded goals in the playoffs. All in all, it’s not this easy; if we were to overcome Traktor three times in a row, you could just hand us the Gagarin Cup. Of course it’s not going to happen, so we will motivate ourselves for match #4.
