Forward Kalle Myllymaa
"I don't know what happened today, but something worked really well today. It was a very good game for me, and I'm very happy to get the three points with the team. I can play very well with Vasily Zelenov and Jesse Helander, those two are great players. It's fun and the passes come easily. I managed to convert them today."
Head Coach Teemu Levijoki
"Today was not our best game. When you score six goals away from home, it's unbelievable to win the game. We have to get better in defense, and we can consider ourselves lucky to have won the game in the end."
