A few minutes after the match, you look very upset.
–
Losing in the first quarterfinals of the playoffs on Sparta 0: 7 is simply a disgrace. Inexcusable! That shouldn’t happen at all. We must realize that we represent not only ourselves but also the Tiger.
–
Will a strong speech after the second period continue?
–
Now maybe we can say something else in the cabin without a camera. And I hope it kicks everyone. Now it’s not worth yelling at each other. We have to think, not look at each other, but look each other in the eye and show a completely, but completely different performance.
–
It’s probably a second game on Tuesday, isn’t it?
–
Certainly, especially after such an exercise. God forbid we have a chance to make it up now. But as I say, there must be a completely different team with a different commitment and concentration. I hope we all really look in the mirror and wake up a bit and there will be a new team tomorrow. Today, I didn’t see any fights or blocked missiles there at all. Just nothing that belongs to the playoffs.

How do you explain that?
–
If I knew, it wouldn’t happen. I don’t know, I really don’t know. But starting with me and ending with the last player, it must be a completely different performance. And I believe that. The team is mentally strong, we showed it in the fifth match of the preliminary round with Kometa. I see no reason why we can’t show it again. I’ve seen that heart in the cabin several times. We have nothing to lose, Sparta is the favorite. everyone knows that.
–
You seemed more tired after the preliminary round than the rested Sparta. Do you agree?
–
We dragged our legs a little, I don’t know how that’s possible. We can’t play twenty-three hockey players. A team that is hungry and sharp must fly in there. We have to put pucks behind their defenders, hang them on the guardrails and tire them. This creates a chance. There is no value in playing with them from one side to the other. We have to play simply and push into the goal. When the shots come, we must have at least two players glued to the mask (goalkeeper).
