    That's all for today from Tampere. Thank you for following us. Have a nice evening. (21:49:14)
     
    Frölunda's head coach Roger Rönnberg was happy of the result after the game. He also gave credit to Tappara.

    "I don't think that the score reflects the game. I think that Tappara was better than that and it was more even game. We were a bit lucky in our offense and we had a good goaltender."

    Rönnberg also gave credit to couple of his players.

    "Our young defender Jakob Larsson was good. Our goalkeeper was also good."

    Rönnberg also had a clear vision for next week's game against Tappara.

    "I think that we have to play better against Tappara next week in order to win that game. We have to play better over all, with the puck and without the puck. We have to keep focused and follow our game plan the whole 60 minutes."
     
    After the game Tappara's head coach Jussi Tapola admitted that Frölunda's quality was known beforehand by Tappara.

    "Frölunda is a team of high quality and we knew it. We were able to keep the needed level of doing at times, but nowhere near the whole game."

    Tapola also admitted that Frölunda was the better team in the big picture.

    "We put everything on the line, both mentally and physically. I assumed that we would have enough strenght for this kind of an opponent but as we could see in the beginnig, we didn't. Frölunda was this much better, there is no denying it."

    - We had troubles getting into the attacking zone. The speed and the readiness of our game wasn't enough.

    "Dominik Hrachovina played in Tappara's goal for this game although Juha Metsola has played almost all the other games this season. Hrachovina wasn't able to carry the team to victory and Frölunda's fourth goal was totally his fault. Tapola didn't still put all the blame to Hrachovina."

    "I don't blame Dominik for the goals. I thought that the team would be playing for him and would be fired up. Juha needs rest, especially now when he joins the national team for the Karjala-tournament. We need two goalkeepers all the time and tight spots are areas of growth. Now Dominik had them."
