Most important throughout SHL – but not on the ice when Frölunda start the playoffs. Guess if Joel Lundqvist’s frustrated.
Captain Lundqvist comes from his best season ever in the SHL. Scores, goal record … and the road to both the World Championships in Moscow and Götaplatsen was as unobstructed as an autobahn with homesickness, a lot of horsepower and a small kiss blow.
But fate wanted otherwise.
And after nearly four weeks without a match, it’s a snorting captain that we encounter. A leader who wants to bring in and his gang on in the playoffs.
– I get another one. I’m so used to having my, to vent what I want on the field. I get a little … well, they have known it at home a bit, Joel and squirms.
The wife Amanda has received a lot of crap then?
– … and the children. His mood is not the same. That’s how it is. It is not exaggerated, but I’ve known a few times that I’ve burned a little unnecessarily.
But you know the problem anyway?
– I feel it afterwards …
to know about their shortcomings often make it easier to apologize – and Lundqvist’s injury is obviously not only been negative for the family.
– When team has been in away games and trips, I’ve been home. The kids are spoiled now! It has become much play at home games and stuff. It will be a shock to them then, when it kicks off again seriously …
For seriously precisely what Joel crave. A burning hot and tough finals, that is. It becomes Djurgården as the first obstacle in the quarterfinals.
– I have focused on keeping the time there as I can. Just to be on the ice is especially important. You lose the feeling soon. If I even have anyone before so I lose what I have. It could simply be a day of rest so it takes a few extra minutes before I get back the feeling, said Joel with a smile.
Lundqvist will also step into more during the playoffs, even if it does not get games straight.
– I’ll be more around the team, more than I have been in the series. You can not talk in detail, but if I do not play … so I can see what I’m doing then.
There will be no play in the quarterfinals number one anyway .
– It feels tight, given that I do not even trained with the team on the ice than …
Lundqvist’s injuries been surrounded by a lot hush-hush – and some persistent rumors say that the season is over.
– This is the not
Frölunda captain it emphatically. He weighs his words, thinking and thinking one extra lap. It becomes so when he is in a position when the resistance should not get the slightest advantage – and an injury usually, sadly, to be a target.
That is why Joel Lundqvist quiet.
– it is clear there will be little talk when we can not say exactly what it is. The fact that it’s the playoffs, it can be a little more sensitive, says Joel.
But there is no harm that you’ve had before in your career?
– Nooo.
It means at least that we can figure out the back fractures, broken bones in the foot and troublesome wrists or elbows cracked.
Frolunda model 2015-2016 are in all cases substantially målfarligt more than the version from 2014-2015 – plus the team is better backward. Especially goalie terms.
– We depend on everyone. We have a broader teams this season – simultaneously , for which we all need. Now we have a few extra. Joey Crabb came and Kristian Vesalainen has steppat up and played really well. It will be like new acquisitions. Anton Axelsson is hopefully back soon. Again. It is key that we have as many as possible intact. We saw this last year to Vaxjo. Then we had a few too many away …
The personal success is forgotten, for now the focus is on the team.
The team that will make everything Meeting once it comes to the most.
– All things are put aside. When it comes to the playoffs we’ll win games, or find a way to win games. And we have said that we are going for the gold …

Lundqvist on …
… his own season – as long as he was free of injuries:
“Autumn was good! That I actually felt. It sued good. I had paid – and I have not been so spoiled for a few years before. “
… to play with his brother Henry in New York
“There was some talk, but it was not more. So perhaps it was not so close anyway. It was most just before I came home, 2009. “
