Moscow Dynamo forward Alexander Ovechkin after the game with Sibir" (3:4 SO) stressed that the white'n'blue should've end the meeting with a victory, reports from Novosibirsk correspondent "SE" Andrei Vereshchagin.

"I think we are the ones to blame for two lost points," said Ovechkin. "We allowed Sibir to seize the advantage when the score was 3-1, you can't do that, especially in our own zone. We are to blame for the second goal... We need to forget this loss, but should work on eliminating the errors. Probably all of us, including our line, in the case when we are leading in the third period, should think about saving the winning score. It is very upsetting, for the most part we played our game and played well. But sometimes playing well is not enough."

How did you personally feel playing after the First Channel Cup?
I felt great. Crowded stands, great atmosphere, awesome ice... However, it was pretty chilly.

Did you freeze?
Of course, when it is -40C (-40F) outside or what it is there now? You can feel it. It's easy for you, you all wear fur cap while standing...

Have you ever experienced the freeze when it was that cold?
Yes. But not to be that cold at the stadium, I have never had it in my career!

Has anything changed here in Novosibirsk since your last visit?
I vaguely remember it, it was a long time ago. I remember that the locker room was at another place. Well, and it was not that cold.
