    Comments about game from the each teams coaches:

    LULEÅ HEAD COACH STEFAN NILSSON:
    - We know what kind of game we were up. Same tight game like in Luleå's first game. Tonight we scored first two goals and we had good lead until middle of third period. That was big change that we scored first. Penalty shots can go either way.
    - We took some stupid penalties and let them (SaiPa) score. Like we played the first 40 minutes we could have or should have win the game. I need to say that SaiPa played very well the match.

    Compared to the last game against SaiPa did SaiPa played more aggressive or active?
    - I would not say that it was the same kind of game that SaiPa played in Luleå. They are trapping team in the neutral zone and they controlled their own net really good. It is hard to come in to it and work for rebounds. It was quite same kind of game in Luleå.

    SAIPA HEAD COACH ARI SANTANEN:
    - I feel that this game was little bit different that the game in the Luleå. There we scored every places we had and here. Here we fore checked harder and we had attack game today much better than in Luleå. But still we played that rough game.

    - I think we started to play well. The second period was little bit hard for us, I don’t know why. Luleå team moves so better than us and moved the puck better than we can do but still we can defense all the time and play good. In third period last 10 minutes was excellent game from us. We fore checked so hard and had so many changes to score. It was really hard game.

    - Of course, When you score it is big power for the team all the time.
