Weak support from home fans, half-empty Arena and low self-confidence already beat Metallurg before first puck was even dropped. To be fair – Metallurg tried to put on some pressure and Zagreb penalty minutes somehow helped with impression. But when it comes to quality – it was on guest side!
No doubt about the better team today!

Medvescak circles inside home defensive zone for long time before Matt Murley provides great cross-pass from right side for Michael RYAN who scores another goal for Bears
Lozhkin goes behind his net to stop puck; his defenseman gets under pressure by Mike Glumac and shoots it out on the left side, but "finds" Boyd KANE only – easy goal for guests
