They learned last year's lesson perfectly. Rockets dominated their RAHL3 quarterfinal series against Hockey For All and, after two wins by a combined score of 10:1, are headed to the semifinals. The decisive step in the 5:1 victory came from Matej Murcko, who scored a natural hat trick and was named Player of the Week. He casts himself merely as the “cleaner” who honestly put in his shift, though. In this interview he praises the attitude of the whole team, warns about the strength of the next opponent from Petržalka and admits with a smile that those goals are going to cost him plenty in the locker room.
They passed the first quarterfinal step with flying colors. The players of HC LEV Senec entered the RAHL3 elimination stage in commanding fashion and crushed team Knights 6:0. The central figure of the game was none other than the winner of the regular-season stats, Michal Maličký. With a 4+1 night he owned the ice, but in his postgame assessment he keeps his emotions in check – in the playoffs, after all, only the win counts, and it doesn't matter whether it's by one goal or by six. Read how he sees the dominant start to the elimination stage, another shutout for Aďo Nogely and why individual trophies mean nothing to him right now.
They ground out a narrow win and tuned up for the end of the season. In a tense, nervy RAHL3 battle, team Royals edged Beers 3:2. The absolute hero of the game was Dalibor Durmis, who with a 2+1 night put his name to every single goal his team scored. In the interview he not only assessed this gritty performance but also candidly named the causes of this season's struggles. They can no longer change their position in the standings, but they want to enter the battles for the Pohár nádeje in the best possible form
