Oleg Bratash: "It was a difficult and interesting match"

Both Oleg Bratash and Andrei Altybarmakyan shared their opinions after losing to RF North-West 2:4 in the concluding match of the 2019 Saint Petersburg Hockey Open.

Russian Olympic team head coach Oleg Bratash:

- Yes, we had an advantage and registered more shots, but Alexei Melnichuk was solid for the opponents. In the past, we summoned him to the Olympic national team, and he will play for us again in the future. We always want to win! Today, we have to congratulate the opponents with their victory. This tournament gave us a chance to look at our young and talented players.

Russian Olympic team forward Andrei Altybarmakyan:

- This was the most interesting game of the competition. We started poorly, and after going ahead, the opponents managed to protect their advantage. My plans? To rest finally! It has been a long campaign, but with the national team, you always receive new emotions.
