Malmö. Malmo is just one win from SHL and I think they’ll take it.
After 6-3 at home against Leksand, it suddenly leksingarna that has all the pressure on them.
Maundy Thursday at Siljan could be one of dala club’s darkest days.
Now I will not draw too many conclusions from a game series that was crazy. The match yesterday was no exception. There were two muddled defense and two or three scoring opportunities in the minutes it felt like. The match through.
It was video views, pucks at the finish line, goalkeeper blunders, pucks uprights and crossbar and disallowed goals.
The hill Jeremiah Augustins 1-0 after 11:29 of the first period hit on something way the tone. A shot from the center line, as a misplaced and floundering Oscar Alsenfelt conceded. Possibly touched the puck a Leksand players, but from that distance should not be any goalie let in some pucks. Not at this level.
And if the game is confused many times, so it will be equally confusing in playing time afterwards.
I stand outside Malmö omklädningrum afterwards and hear the match, the hero Jens Jacob talk Dalarna paintings, when the previous size no explains the feelings before the game seven.
Then I go thirty yards further down the hall and hear Leksand goalkeeper Oscar Alsenfelt decline in the Skåne called malmöit Kingdom.
refers to “Leksand” syndrome …
He is born and raised in town and spent many years in Malmö Redhawks.
But that’s the way hockey Sweden looks today.
A continuous cycle of players who rarely stays in the same club, especially many seasons. Now it was Jens Jacob who pangade it 5-3 behind Alsen infact that closed this game in the third period.
And that created an Easter thriller on Thursday. A new meeting between Leksand and Malmö in Tegera Arena, where Scanians skated on such heavy losses over the years that there is talk of a “Leksand syndrome”.
Twice an already sawed-off Leksand
First 2007 when Scanians dropped a given SHL place in the tenth and final round of qualification matches then, when they lost 6-5. And in 2008 it was even worse. Malmö were second before the last round and could only win the last match against an equally sawed-off Leksand. They led with both 3-0 and 4-2, but still managed to lose 4-5 in sudden. But now it Leksand who have the most to lose.
Feels Like anything can happen
It is they who are the SHL team, they are the ones who can get rid of something and every player knows what a disaster it would be for both the resort and club. A new retreat to the Hockey Allsvenskan. Therefore, I believe that the odds are in Malmö page. They have everything to gain.
And in this case I do not believe that the home will be of no benefit to leksingarna. It will just create even more pressure.
On the other hand, this game series so catchy that it feels like anything can happen in game seven. But the advantage Malmö is it, anyway.
To Win Malmö on Maundy Thursday will be directly qualifier an unparalleled success for South-Sweden.
Too bad not both go up
First went Karlskrona up, then Skåne neighbor Rögle. But what is best for SHL?
Leksand is a cash cow for all teams because they draw far the most spectators away from home. They have fans all over Sweden.
Malmo its part, hockey Sweden’s finest venue and rogles advancement guarantee at least four scorching, Skåne derbies.
I can almost feel it is a pity that not both go up.
