- The three days rest relaxed us a bit.

- Were Norway less fresh after playing yesterday?

- No, in the second period we only had an 8-7 lead on the shot count.

- Did you want to attack hard in the first period?

- Of course. The second wasn't great in terms of tactics.

- It's great. They got a feel for the game.

- Everyone is scoring except Pavel Datsyuk.

- Pavel is doing his job really well.

- It's important to rest, we lost a lot of energy. We will go to the hotel and sleep.
