COACHES´ REACTIONS

Jakub Mokriz (CZW): "The course of the first period was adequate, but in the second part of the game, our performance started to deteriorate. We told ourselves we wouldn't let up, but we had too many penalties, which affected the line changes and subsequently the course of the game. Our first game today against Canada exhausted us; it was hard to recover and prepare for the second game. Tomorrow we face a tough match against Slovakia and the USA, so we need to prepare well."

Gyorgy Pallag (HUN): "We improve with every game and I think it showed today. Our game looked better, the guys played with passion. But we can still do better, sometimes we overcomplicated things a bit. We need to simplify our game if we want to take the next step. I'd also like to congratulate the Czech White team!"
