HC Davos
Saturday 27.08.2016, 14:00 • Hovet Arena, Stockholm • Champions League • Group B
     
    Davos forward Dick Axelsson was less satisfied.
    "I've played here like ten years ago (2007-2008) so it's fun to come back. But the game was a big disappointment. We were worthless. I'm embarrased. Only our fans were good today", said Dick Axelsson, who also was disappointed with the referee Piechaczek.

    "I had some problems with the german referee. He was bad, and I was bad. The interference I got for crashing into the goalie was so bad. The other penalty I accept."

    Dick Axelsson is now looking forward to Friday's home game.
    "We have to forget this game, and step up when we meet Djurgården at home next week. We have to be better at everything and show our fans why we reached the semifinals last season. It feels quite far away a game like this." (21:59:55)
     
    Djurgården coach Robert Ohlsson was happy with his teams performance.
    "Davos are a team that wants to play offense. Rouen are more passive and stays at the redline. Davos wants to come 3-on-2, 2-on-1, and use their turnovers. You have to respect that. If you do that you win a lot", said Robert Ohlsson.

    "Our opponents have had their chances, so of course we have played good defense. But I think that the big reason why we havn't had any goals against us are Mikael Tellqvist and Adam Reideborn – they have been really great. We will improve our defense, but our goalies have been really good."
     
    What a game for Djurgården! Their second home win which means that they grab the top spot in Group B.

    HC Davos beat Rouen in their opening game with a 4-1 score. But Dario Simion, who scored twice, think they can do much better.

    Today's game in Stockholm is important for both teams – a win will probably secure a spot in the playoffs – but for Davos player Dick Axelsson it's more than just a game. Born in Stockholm, and with two seasons in Djurgården (2007 – 2009) he's now facing his former team and fans at Hovet.
     
    Djurgården started this seasons CHL campaign with a comfortable 4-0 win against Rouen. With two goals top scorer Daniel Brodin had a good night against the french team.
    In their second home game in a row Djurgården are facing HC Davos, and assistant coach Stefan Nyman think it will be a different kind a game compared to the one against Rouen.
