Modo can turn the page after the dark SHL season.
The White Horse had no chance to upset the team – who play in the top division for another season.
– I have played many big games but never anything that has been so important here, says Samuel Påhlsson in Viasat.
Modo had a really heavy and loss-filled season in SHL, but when Allsvenskan White Horse were the opponents became instead four straight wins and great rejoicing.
Tonight’s 3-1 means that Örnsköldsvik team plays in the SHL also next season.
– A great relief. It’s been a terribly tough season for us, throughout the season until now, says Samuel Påhlsson.
– But when it really mattered, we went together and played really as a team. Everyone played to win these matches, no one for himself, it was for Modo Hockey and for the district, he said.
After the White Horse stood up well in the first period of the match would be settled directly in the second period.
Just 1:08 into the period got Emil Pettersson the puck to 2-1 and 25 seconds later expanded Simon Önerud to 3-1.
The White Horse could not
The White Horse, which only made two goals against Modo in game series, it would take a lot to the team would pick up the documents.
And the strength seemed to be there.
When the team took
Modo held off, and also made 4-1, before the whole team could celebrate the secured SHL contract, before the visiting fans and even Peter Forsberg, who was sitting in the stands.
“Totally sick”
– It is sick, just sick. The fact that we have had such a shit season and so we end on a damned good way, says Linus Ullmark to Viasat.
Captain Jonas Ahnelöv had difficulty describing feelings.
– I are really proud. It’s nice that we can finally show that we should be in SHL, he says to Viasat.
– It has been a bit tough times, but we came in hop in the end. Now we get enough to celebrate with a cold beer, a anyway, says Ahnelöv.
The White Horse fans also seemed satisfied. In the stands cheering crowd and waved placards that read: “Thank you for the party.”
