spusu Vienna Capitals – EC Red Bull Salzburg 3:4 (SO)
Ali Wukovits (spusu Vienna Capitals):
… about the game: “A roller coaster ride, lots of emotions, lots of goals, certainly nice to watch. In the end we lost, but for over 60 minutes it was a really good game by both teams and Salzburg was the happier team in the end. “
… About the equalizer to 3: 3: “Great joy at the end, before that I was pretty angry because I was on the ice when I conceded the goal before. I knew I didn’t have much time left and Nissi (note: Benjamin Nissner) dipped it really well. “
… About the upcoming playoff: “When we’re complete, we’re sure to be among the favorites. You can expect a lot more in the playoffs. It runs fine.”
Marco Richter (spusu Vienna Capitals) in the first third break:
… About his hit: “Ali (note: Wukovits) did a great job. I saw that he had a chance to shoot and planted myself in front of the goal and made sure that I hit the target. “
Austin Ortega (EC Red Bull Salzburg):
… About the shootout and the game: “I put the first one into it with my ‘signature move’, with the second one I was lucky. The last two minutes were a roller coaster ride. We already looked like the sure winner and then had to go into overtime. Confidence increases from game to game. We have a good atmosphere in the dressing room and that’s how it should go on. “
… About the playoff form of EC Red Bull Salzburg: “The playoff form is getting better and better every day. There are still a few things to adapt, but we are on the right track. “
Florian Iberer (Sky Expert):
… about the game: “Wow, ‘What a game!’ – tactical, speed, intensity, playful – everything an ice hockey heart could wish for! A game on a knife edge. If you play against another opponent, that’s enough for three points on each side. “
… About the equalizing goal for extra time by Wukovits-Nissner: “Sensational, the game to the goal. Nissner with a ‘crazy deflection’. It takes a lot of sensitivity. That is very high art and the Capitals do it very well, but also the Salzburgers. “
… over the goal to 3: 2 through deflection by Thomas Raffl: “A faceoff play as you write it in a textbook.”
… about Austin Ortega’s decisive penalty shootout goals: “The first move was world class, the second a little luck, but that’s part of it.”
… About Thomas Raffl: “Thomas Raffl embodies the Red Bull Salzburg through his leadership, his presence on the ice and his behavior. He is a role model and the leader in the team. “
