Antti Karhula, head coach, DAB: This is our fourth game in seven days, we lost and then traveled home. Mentally we are fresh. We just played a rough 60 minutes but we had more energy than they did. I am proud of the guys and the way they played.
Greg Lindqvist, head coach Brasov: We had two shorthanded goals scored against us, the other two were from individual mistakes. We unfortunately were unable to take advantage of the mistakes of the other team. Both goalies played well but Sevela and saw all of the shots. We still have a lot left from the season and we will work hard.
