“twice her age”

What about the target?

– I got a fit of (Chris) Campoli, we usually stand and erode the trainings with passes and shots, so we can be that. Then it was just to shoot and try to get the puck on goal. We had good traffic.

What will you do with the puck?

– The find enough up on some shelf somewhere (haha).

the talent played in the jaws of Jere Karalahti 40.

– He’s twice as old as I am, ha ha. Nah, he’s experienced and we work well together, I like to play with him.

Managed by unusual use

– The these games and the way we won them means a lot to us. It strengthens us, says Johansson.

Ahead of the match against Karlskrona had HV71 been the underdog after two periods 17 times – and lost all of them.

So this was the first time the team turned a disadvantage for 40 minutes.

– You knew more than me on such statistics, but we have been surging during the season. The same in this game. It was nice that we could turn around and we thought about it, said Lindblom.
