21.02.2018
- 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.
- Those players who couldn't score in the previous matches did it today.
- It's great. They got a feel for the game.
- Everyone is scoring except Pavel Datsyuk.
- Pavel is doing his job really well.
- Have you watched the Czech Republic play?
- Yes. They also struggled after resting for three days.
- Looking at the Euro Hockey Tour, the Czechs are a good opponent for you.
- Here, all teams are on an equal footing. The smallest of errors can affect the result.
- Despite winning, you don't look happy.
- We weren't playing in the final today.
- Czech goaltender Pavel Francouz has won two penalty shootouts at these Olympic Games.
- He is a difficult goalkeeper to beat, he catches the glove in the other hand in comparison to most goaltenders. We will prepare.
- How will the team rest before the Olympic semi-final?
- It's important to rest, we lost a lot of energy. We will go to the hotel and sleep.
- Did the fourth line lead the team today?
- They scored the first goal. However, we don't have a fourth line, we have a team. Anyone can score.
- Will you change the roster?
- I don't know, I'll discuss that with the other coaches.
- Are you unhappy with something today?
- There is always a reason to be unsatisfied, there are problems even when you have won. Each mistake can be crucial at the Olympic Games.
- Looking at percentages, how well did the team perform today?
- Not very well.
