Votes (source: IIHF):

Nikita Nesterov, defender of the ROC, scorer of two goals: “It was good that we scored quickly in the first period and we were able to calm down. We played relaxed and could prepare for the quarterfinals. Now we have time to rest and we will start thinking about Canada. ”

Ilya Shinkevich, defender of Belarus: “It simply came to our notice then. We did not meet the goal for which we came here. At the beginning of the tournament we matched some strong opponents, but in later matches we already played badly. The duel with Great Britain was especially bad, it ‘broke’ us. Then we didn’t trust the Danes and lost to them. “

Huge hopes of Slovak hockey:
