Ilgiz Nuriyev: "This victory is even sweeter when many of the guys are covered in bruises, but are on cloud nine"

"First of all, I want to mention the opponent - a very combative, young, good and daring team. I just want to thank the guys for playing selflessly. They caught pucks on themselves, threw themselves under these pucks. This victory is even sweeter when many of the guys are covered in bruises but are on cloud nine. Congratulations to everyone on the victory! Well done, it was hard work."
- Head coach Ilgiz Nuriyev.
"There were two good games. This one was harder than the previous one. We spent a lot of energy in the last game but showed character and won this one too. The emotions are positive. I couldn't score for a long time. I just beat the defender, and then it was like in training – you throw under the supporting leg, between the legs. Everyone is positive. There are more emotions than after a loss, and confidence comes right away. Therefore, there will be more to come”
- Forward Pavel Gavrilko.
