Rönnberg celebrates two-goal shooter – Aftonbladet

Gothenburg. Eight games without a goal, when Andrew Johnson struck twice against Malmo (4-1).

he was hailed by Roger Rönnberg, but not for the scoring.

– Now he goes around and makes sure things happen instead of waiting for it to happen, says Frölunda’s coach.

Not a goal since January 28 (Vaxjo away). But when five games remaining before the playoffs kicks off showed Andreas Johnson dawning great shape. Two goals in Malmö, 19 in total, and shared internal scorer lead with Joel Lundqvist. Important for confidence can you believe?

– No, I would say that my confidence has always been my biggest strength, especially on the ice. I have played well with Johan (Sundstrom) and Kristiansand (Vesalainen) and received no assists in the last month, and they are as important as the goals. So I have not felt any direct feeling that I have to start scoring goals again, he says.

“I work in a completely different way,”

It was not for the scoring as Roger Rönnberg acclaimed Johnson, but worn.

– He works in a completely different way compared to the previous years that I coached him. Now he has done maybe six games in a row where he wins the rough, play hard, back checks, blocking shots and working hard for the team. And while playing an aggressive hockey. It is fun to see. I think it’s important that he shows these things, without the puck, that’s what makes him inside the games in a totally different way.

Johnson did 2-0 and then finishing 4-1 . And he agrees Rönnberg analysis.

– I feel I am a more sustainable player today. Training has stepped up those three years and I feel I can do more difficult things. It is the strength that has changed. First year left, I’d rather the puck away from me because I could not manage to hold it. “Not fit me,

I will drop the puck.”

Figren found the target

With five rounds remaining of the regular season also got robin figren score again. The first since Boxing Day last year. Yet a possible wild card playoff game.

– It was nice, I like you, I’ll be more and score more goals in the matches. Måltorkan have been a little too lengthy for me. But now I am going to close more and more situations, there is something I missed in the last month.
