COACHES´ REACTIONS

Tibor Kapánek (SUI): „This was exactly the kind of game we needed after the last match. I think we were evenly matched with our opponent, we had chances, some of them clear-cut opportunities that could have been goals, but they were not. The opponent took advantage of their chance and scored one more goal. At the moment, however, it does not change much. It looks like we will face the USA in Friday’s quarterfinal, where everything will be on the line.“

James Mentis (USA): „It was a tough game. We had two defensemen go down early because of injuries so we were just basically holding on and we survived. It was an all-heart game. It was a tough and a really good game.“
