Leksand is suddenly in possession of a kvalplats again.
Playoff Series brandished as suddenly as Ulf Dahlen used to do with the skates standing straight out.
And it was his son Jonathan who saved the tension with his two goals when Timra beat Oskarshamn 4-3.
Suddenly Mora in the top – shaded by Oskarshamn Leksand.
I saw Leksand crush BIK Karlskoga 5-1 and I have to admire the coach Perra Johnsson, who brought life into the team after the heavy opening defeat to Oskarshamn.
He is not with arms crossed directly and tossed about in every five.
Now it was a completely different Leksand than what I saw in Oskarshamn on Wednesday.
a team with confidence, a team that determined to win.
It was contrary to Oskarshamn. From a convincing victory against Leksand loss against young Timra. The team that took the last and eighth place in the finals series because the series’ final round.
Turned into a giant drama
I talked to Oskarshamn coach Fredrik Soderstrom after the match against Leksand and he was worried about facing the 70 mil-long bus trip to Timra.
not to sit on a bus for ten hours, but to Smalanders not taken a single point against Timra away in the regular season.
There was no now either.
and the playoff series turned into a huge drama.
Mora peak before Oskarshamn, both with six points, and Leksand shady five.
on Wednesday felt that the train went to Leksand stood on the platform after the 2-4 away against Oskarshamn.
Now they stepped on the back.
the question is only in what the interior will sit come. In Oskarshamn was the second class. Against BIK Karlskoga they sat in the first.
And I can not deny that it would be a treat to see Leksand Modo in a SHL qualifiers which start on 20 March.
Can be one hell of Dalarna derby
But then everything will fall into place and Leksand must win the four games they have left – and at the same time hope that Oskarshamn lose more points.
Although lead Mora series after the 3-1 home against Almtuna, but playoff series ends with a dala derby in the last round which can be crucial for the team that wins the series victory.
then Leksand home against the new league leaders Mora, so there has Leksand everything into their own hands if they continue to win.
and everything points well that they take a leap into on Sunday when they meet Timra home while being “series finale” between Oskarshamn and Mora.
Then there will be guaranteed new inversions in this swing series.
Mora has started strongly with two wins. It can be a hell of Dala Derby in the last round. If both teams continue to win.
I hope Perra Johnsson will remain as coach in Leksand, no matter how the season ends. It is obviously up to him. But it would be fun to see what he can accomplish over a full season. Especially after the winter’s understudy who took Leksand from last place to a team who are fighting to qualify for the SHL.
Strong of Timra beating the favorites Oskarshamn.
And the big game hero was Jonathan Dahlen, 18-year-old who got his big break in the winter.
And usually the father, Ulf Dahlen in the stands.
I can see some similarities, especially in skating, where Jonathan runs with the same Charlie Chaplin -style small areas, then skates pointing straight out in opposite directions.
Now, he did both 1-0 and 4-2 major, who also became a crucial match in a match that ended 4-3.
the only team that already goes to discount the BIK Karlskoga.
A club which is always close, but never come up short.
Although it has only five points up to series one Mora, but they have five teams to pass on the way there.
It is impossible in just three games.
