"It was huge win from us today. After first period game seemed pretty high uphill road for us. We changed our game strategy to the second period and that helped us." said Ari Santanen the head coach of team SaiPa.
Eisbären Berlin's Uwe Krupp head coach was also satisfied to his team. " We played last game on Thursday and we came to game ready to play. We were ready to battling and SaiPa didn’t. We knew that second period would be harder. The second period was still a good period but we didn’t score. I really liked the energy of the team and the way we battled. Overall we played good game." Uwe Krupp summarized.
Both teams games continues on the next round in Champions Hockey League.
It is nice to head towards Liiga's start on Friday when CHL's "death group" was nicely conquered. McFarland is quite a guy.
JOHN MCFARLAND is doing his tricks and scoring again! Assisted by: Tero Koskiranta and Per Savilahti-Nagander.
Now fight to the end SaiPa. Battle, battle.
Spencer Machacek snaps the puck behind the SaiPa's goal and passes it fast to FLORIAN BUSCH who's free infront of SaiPas goalarea. Secon assist by Jamie MacQueen.
23 seconds on the power play and SaiPa's CURTISHAMILTON scores from the goal corner after Kim Strömberg's excellent pass to him. Second assist by Per Savilahti-Nagander.
