Vienna Capitals
4:1 (3:0, 0:0, 1:1)
Färjestad Karlstad
Thursday 21.08.2014, 19:30 • Albert-Schultz-Eishalle, Vienna • Champions League
     
    Statements from the press conference:
    Both coaches and players agree on a better start for Färjestad, Vienna Capitals probably showing too much respect. Matt Zaba keeping them in the game during that time. 5 minute power play changed the momentum and especially after the 2nd goal for Vienna, a rather tough game for Färjestad, not making enough progress to get back into the game as quickly as needed, also because of Zaba's continued superb goaltending. Tommy Samuelsson as a fair sportsman as always congratulating his former team and Tom Pokel to their win today. (22:48:59)
     
    Enjoy the rest of the evening and see you back soon!
     
    Nice hockey evening in Vienna, back on Saturday when Vienna Capitals face Valerenga Oslo for their 2nd home game, puck drops at 5:45pm.
     
    3 stars of the match (as per Viennese crowd voting):

    3. Rafael Rotter (VIE)
    2. Matt Zaba (VIE)
    1. Kris Foucault (VIE)
     
    Not the outcome Tommy Samuelsson expected for his return to Vienna as Vienna Capitals beat his new team Färjestad Karlstad 4-1. Teams pretty equal, Vienna Capitals efficiently capitalizing on their power play chances.
