COACHES´ REACTIONS

Ryan Shannon (USA): "In a game like this, it´s important to not fall into bad habits. That´s what I told to kids today, to always come out and do things and play the right way. We are very happy with the outcome, and also I am happy we came through injury-free. We have an important game this evening against Canada, which can decide who will play for the gold medals. We are going to go back to the hotel now, make sure that all the boys are taking care of any bumps and bruises they have and we will be ready for Canada tonight at 7."

Gyorgy Pallag (HUN): "We started the game strong and had a couple of good shots. We worked hard, the first four or five minutes were good; then we conceded an unlucky goal. Overall, we played better today than yesterday but we need to shoot more, we have to work on that. Congratulations to the USA team!"
