No matter how badly injured Lasse Johansson Johan Gustafsson longing for games.
From guardian of båsdörren – right into the semi-final heat. An unmatched Johan Gustafsson did not even warm up when Lasse Johansson went down after a collision in the third period to win the match against Luleå.
An unexpected scenario, but also expected. In the skull, ie.
– I’m ready to run. So it has been throughout the playoffs – and so will it be in future too, says Gustafsson.
Lasse Johansson’s knee is examined with an MRI – and the diagnosis is obviously a secret, but hopeful.
do you think Lasse Johansson can play more this season?
– Yes, I absolutely do. It’s the playoffs, we barely have a player without an injury, says coach Roger Rönnberg.
– I have no comment. It is so in the playoffs, a little cap on, says Lasse Johansson tricky after the investigation.
And if there is gambling, there are, as I said Johan Gustafsson.
– Johan thinks I is an idiot every time he can not stand, so he loves it here. He likes the spotlight, says Roger Rönnberg.
Gustafsson smiles.
– Roger is perhaps not quite an idiot, ha ha. But it is clear that I want to play all the games. That Lasse – and you have to be a realist. Lasse has played fantastic, all season and the entire playoffs. He was clearly the best in the league, so it has been for me to fight on …
But you really like the task – to be thrown into this?
– I would be lying if I say something else. I would like to play every day. I had wanted to do yesterday from the beginning and in the next game too. Lasse helps me to be at work every day, so I’m prepared for anything to happen. And now it came unfortunately something …
Gustafsson was recruited to Frolunda from Minnesota Wilds organization, conceived as number one in the golden betting SHL club. It was not quite according to plan – and Gustafsson in addition to 15 minutes in the last match not been anything at all in the playoffs.
– This is the way it is. I have not played as many matches as I thought. But I have come to work every day and have been a good team together with Lasse Johansson and goalkeeper coach Christopher Martin. But it is clear that I developed most of playing games …
It’s time to take a chance tonight, that is.
Besides, both Tom Nilsson and Sebastian Stalberg out to approach the game. Both guys have tested on ice – and Stalberg ran through a full practice, however, the green tacklingsfri sweater.
Even Spencer Abbott ran on the ice after practice – and is not removed calculated in cases playoffs are long.
