Roman Strochkin: "We won't reveal the secret of our chemistry"

"The final score on the board is 4:2 – we won. We played poorly in the first two periods, we were not fully executing the coach's instructions, we were trying to find our game. In the third period, we pulled ourselves together, got focused, talked as a team. We set out to win in the third period and started executing the plan, blocking shots. We played tight defense and scored our goals.  
- What are your off-ice relationships with Stepan Levitsky like?
- Great, we’re buddies, we spend a lot of time together. We go for walks, eat together, all in all, everything is fine. We won't reveal the secret of our chemistry, it’s only between two of us.”
– Forward Roman Strochkin.  
"The emotions are positive. It's not even about the goal I’ve scored, but about the way we turned the game around in the third period and showed our inner strength. The coaches constantly tell us to play to the end of the game. It's unfortunate we started off poorly. We haven't played in a while, so we might have lost some game rhythm. This is hockey, and every game starts differently.  
We have a good team, a great squad. The city is wonderful too – I've had time to explore and see the sights. I only have positive emotions."  
– Forward Daniil Sokolov.
