The joy over his game-winning goal in Game 5 was so great that he accidentally gave Don Jackson a cut while cheering. The voices & stats.

Don Jackson: "Hagi headbutted me while I was cheering. The game was very exciting and the closest so far in this series. I'm 100 percent satisfied. Both teams have a similar system of play, are very aggressive in the duels and fight for every inch on the ice. We're happy that we had the better end for us and we're looking ahead to the game in Wolfsburg."

Patrick Hager: "The whole series is hard-fought. And when you then score the decisive goal in overtime in the playoffs - it doesn't get more emotional than that. We played a very strong 60 minutes today. After the late equalizer, we had to focus in the dressing room and come out well. If you work right, luck comes in the end."

Mike Stewart (coach, Grizzlys Wolfsburg): "To be down 0:2 after four minutes in Munich is not ideal, of course. But we got better and better into the game. We had our chances, but we didn't take advantage of them. Munich took its chance in overtime and now leads 3:2. We showed that we can beat Munich and look forward to the challenge on Monday at home in Wolfsburg."
