István Bartalis, team captain: We were not the most fresh during yesterday's practices after the travel, but the lines started to come together, everyone can feel that they are ready to get this started. We have three strong scoring lines that will be able to score at anytime and to be creative, with a very aggressive fourth line, who has a scoring touch as well. We want to put pressure on Ukraine right from the start with two for checkers, we will not change our game plan because of them.
