Dynamo vs. Traktor – 5:1. Press-conference after the match
Valery Belousov, Traktor head
coach:
- We were not ready tonight. Dynamo was fresher, faster, stronger. Poor performance from the first line - they get minus 3 for tonight.
Oleg Znarok, Dynamo head coach:
- We were somewhat anxious in the first twenty. Thankfully, we were able to compose ourselves and take over the initiative.

Znarok: Hard to say. We have a busy schedule, so it's too early to make any conclusions. We'll see.
Question to Znarok: Dynamo showed plenty of power game tonight.
Znarok: We did not want Traktor to feel that they have enough space.

Belousov: We tried Mamashev during the power play, but he still has work to do.

Belousov: I didn't say we were not ready for the season - we just were not prepared for Dynamo's style of play.
