Lule / Stockholm. Lulia is just a match of gold.
And despite the fact that they sometimes drove over Färjestad in Game Five, Joel Lassinantti became a great hero with an unparalleled save.
– Minimum guarantees and functionality, Säger Lassinantti.
– It’s linen, says Michael Lindqvist who missed it.
On the surface, it looked like a sure win for Lulio in the Final Five.
4-0 and a clear victory in shooting statistics and an amazing advantage in the first half.
But even so it was Joel Lacinante In the goal of Lulia the great hero after that. For Luleå, it was only 1-0 when the third half started and after an early finish in Färjestad, the away team woke up.
Less than five minutes later, they had a fantastic opportunity to equalize. First a puck’s ball at the post and later in the sequence Michael Lindqvist may have started to get goal cheers. All alone at the far post, he was flying 1-1 in an open cage – but Lassinantti threw the club forward and saved the puck.
“Become a real energy boost”
– Don’t save me and Justin (Turnqvist, goalkeeping coach) without a pure intention. Fortunately, says Lasenanti, sometimes you don’t have time to think much.
When asked how this rescue ranks, the answer comes quickly:
“This was the most important game I’ve played so far and the most important ever in saving my career, so far,” he quickly adds.
Yes, because it takes another win for Luleå to secure gold.
My job is to save the pucks and I will continue to do what is required, says Lassinantti.
Michael Lindqvist says this about the situation:
– You don’t have time to try much at all, I’m trying to shave it off and he’s tossing the club there. These are small margins. It is linen.
After the rescue, the match escaped from the Karlstad team. Lulea won 4-0 after two goals from Jack Connolly and two goals from Einar Emmanuelson during the final stages of the match.
