Optimistic before the game, right crass afterwards. Frölunda’s big victory, 5-0, at Davos did the Swiss chances are very small for the return of Frölundaborg.
– It is sad that we are doing such a bad first match as we do, says Dick Axelsson.
– five goals away from home is well rather rare … But we did a good job in any case.
Near advancement was Davos, however. Frölunda took an early lead when Patrik Carlsson took advantage of a return, and with it disappeared Swiss diplomats’ last little jump more or less right away.
Davos was indeed receive good, equalized in the middle period, and succeeded, not least thanks to Axelsson , whip up a smågrinig playoff atmosphere on the ice. But it led simultaneously to a long series of expulsions which just made the situation even worse.
For the Frölunda, in the final of the CHL also last year (losing to Lulea), is now awaiting final against Kärpät away from home in Oulu on 9 February.
Kärpät made the final by 2-2 in the return and a total of 5-4 in the helfinska semi-final meeting with Lukko.
– It is a very good team, the best Finnish teams , which on one hand have high respect for. At the same time, we believe very hard in our own abilities, said Frolunda coach Roger Rönnberg.
– It is important for us to stay as calm and focused as our young team does in these important matches.
Dick Axelsson ended up returning to Gothenburg scoreless. The 28-year-old national team striker, including two seasons in just Frölunda behind them, have recently agreed to Davos for an extension until next summer, but still dream of a bigger league.
– To extend a year seemed like the right choice, I want to grow every year, he said.
– The NHL is probably pretty fried, but the KHL is obviously an interest in the back of my
Axelsson, who was forced to decline the Tre Kronor later because of a shoulder injury, had much ice time, not least in short-handed – before the eyes of, among others, coach Pär Mårts and his assistant Peter Popovic.
– When they saw my effective short-handed games DAA ?? | That’s what I do in the national team too, so it can not whine at all.
