Alexander Dergachyov: "We wanted to play a lot better"

- How tough is it to play in a game with so many goals?

- It was an interesting match for the fans. Everyone loves overtime and penalty shots. However, we wanted to play a lot better. We'll move on.

- Are you prepared for the fact that every team will give 100% against SKA?

- Of course. Other clubs are pumped to play us.

- Did you expect Vityaz to battle so hard?

- They have a good team with excellent players. They're improving every year.

- Did Mikhail Biryukov play like Vladislav Tretiak?

- I won't comment on the goalkeeper's performance.

- The differences between this match and the 2016/2017 KHL playoff series against Vityaz?

- Vityaz analysed our powerplay well.

- Before the match began, the fans sung the Russian national anthem without music.

- To be honest, I can't even describe the feeling with words. It gave me extra motivation. We need to say thank you to the whole arena. It's the first time I have heard the fans sing the anthem without music, and I don't think I will see this again for a long time. I'll remember it for the rest of my life though.
