Andris Molotanovs, coach of HK Ogre
“It was an emotional game. It was hard to get ourselves together, we definitely have to be more persistent and mentally tuned for games. It’s good that we are fighting until the end of the game. Our goalkeeper Elvijs played very good today, it is a pity that Artūrs Lazdiņš could not help us due to illness. We looked good as a team, but in the second half we made few fast and wrong decisions. Painful loss.”
