One of these stats is good the other one is not. We defended well in the 5 on 5 play and we were creative in the offensive end. We played well for 58 minutes of the game. We will play tomorrow and have a chance to improve.
Vitali Donika, head coach, Gyergyó: We left everything on the ice and played to the best of our abilities. With the travel and the previous games we were tired today. I feel we wanted to win the game more than they did and we picked up some important points. We did not play pretty but we won.
