In the interview he openly assesses his own performance, highlights the performance of his teammate in net, Jirko Šajár, and also talks about why he would most like to avoid the HK Petržalka team in the playoffs.
The Player of the Week in RAHL 2 is Matej Jurčák. His team, Alpha, managed to turn the game against Lions around and win 4:1.

In the interview we go back over the decisive stretches, what worked in the Alpha Hockey Team’s system and what, on the other hand, still needs fine-tuning before the next rounds. We also talk about the locker room’s mindset after the win and where the team wants to head in terms of results.

In Round 8 of RAHL2, HC Senec added another important entry to the standings by beating Lions 3:0.

HK Petržalka had to wait longer for its first points of the season than this team is used to. Only in Round 4 did the bad luck finally end, when the Petržalka side beat Lions convincingly, 4:0.
