I never thought we could do that. But anything is possible in sports.

This is a once-in-a-career opportunity right now.

I think it's by far the biggest win in Swiss hockey ? since I've been playing. Even in history. It's kind of a miracle.

It's a big relief. It's an awesome feeling. It's obviously like a dream come true for me and I'm very happy about the big win tonight. It was a very big win and now we can build on that.

This is a big thing for us, and back home it's exciting for the people, too. I don't know if it's on TV, but we're definitely going to be all over the sports news after the game.

This was our biggest upset since (Thursday).

Hockey was not really on the map until now. And I think with a game like that you can show the world how Swiss hockey is.
