Frölunda turned down on hemmais – Göteborgs-Posten

The crowd came – but Frölunda betrayal. After 1-3 (0-1, 0-1, 1-1) on hemmais team has now lost its grip on quarterfinal series.

– We did not come up in level, says Klas Östman, assistant coach.

So they were reunited. Success chain.

Ryan Lasch, Mattias Janmark and Robin Figren.

A trio who excelled together at the end of the regular season.

And now, after the third and the latter link had put their foot problems behind him, finally got the chance to prove themselves in the playoffs.

The idea, and not least the hope was that they would revive Frölunda’s offensive. And in the best of worlds again put the red robed in the driver’s seat when the quarterfinals series had now returned to Gothenburg.

But no.

This evening at Scandinavium drove the trio, as has the rest of the Frölunda, straight into a wall.

A human wall at 174 centimeters and 84 kilograms.

Joel Lassinantti.

The goalkeeper, who was noted for basic series’ second best save percentage, took almost everything this evening.

Low shot. High shot. Solving that hard.

– We will not play at the level we want to be. We do not test Luleå. Why do we have to bother, says Klas Östman.

And when everything was summed it was gone the keeper bet that decided the game.

Yes, Luleå’s three goals ahead helped of course.

The first came before the clock

had struck seven minutes.

Daniel Zaar was last on the puck in an unclear situation in front of Lars Johansson, while Elias Fälth sat in the sin bin.

The goal there was only one in a first period was characterized by rummage. More often than with the away team’s Per Ledin in the lead role.

In the second period extended Lulea goals.

This time it was the hill Christian Näkyvä who sent the puck past an unsighted Lars Johansson.

0-2. 32.19 on the game clock.

And the result was perfectly fair. Lulea played smart and tight. Frölunda sluggish and individually.

Not much talked for a turnaround.

Sure woke captain Joel Lundqvist life into the game, and the impressive 10,717 in the stands, with its reduction. But Frölunda never came closer than that.

Luleå sorted out the red storm, put 1-3 in the open bag and now leads the match series 2-1.

On Wednesday greeted the law again .

– I think Lulea did it well. They closed many of our roads, says Klas Östman.

– But we get more chances.
