The Lokomotiv Kuban forward is preparing for the semi-final series against CSKA with a bandage on his eye, and a good mood in his soul.
- What's with your eye?
- I got hit in the eye with someone's fingernail in the first quarter of the game in Perm.
- But then your bruise didn't look so creepy.
- It's okay. It doesn't stay in the way of me playing and training.
- Well, okay. How are you feeling ahead of the semi-finals?
- Great! We finished the quarterfinal series so quickly, so we were given a day off. We have enough time to properly recover and prepare for the next series, against CSKA.
- What can help Lokomotiv in beating CSKA?
- Focus. We need to be focused for the entire 40 minutes. And we need as many of our fans as possible to cheer us on as loudly as possible. We hope to see them in Moscow, and we're expecting a full house in Krasnodar!
