Dmitry Ryabykin: Traktor was smarter than Ak Bars strategy-wise

- We made necessary conclusions after two starting losses. Since then we played our own game, and you can see the results of it today. I believe it is the aspect of game planning and strategy that Traktor was better in than Ak Bars.

Finals start already on Sunday.
- I know what you are implying – will we have anything left? We’ll see, there’s no point in talking about it now. But one thing I can tell you for sure – we will fight.

Traktor’s injured list has many names in it, yet there aren’t many of those who could replace the injured partners.
- We have a couple of days to lick our wounds. I agree – the length of the bench is an important factor in playoffs, but then again, we have just won a grueling series without anyone that could have substituted those unable to play. Besides, as they say – only the dead miss the playoffs.
