LULEÅ. After fifteen seasons at Färjestad, it’s time for the non-forward-oriented champion.
Per Aslund, 35, became the best player in the playoffs.
Classically gold plated by Sportbladet.
– I never thought I’d be a part of this. He says he feels unreal.
ORDER YOUR GOLD RACE HERE – KEEP Färjestad SUCCESS
in Åslund He is rarely speechless, but his humble manner is rarely the focus.
With him the team is before the self.
– Yes, we have a great team, he says.
But of all the stars and returnees, veteran butler Per Oslund was the face when Vargstad won for the first time in eleven years.
Sweden’s tenth club championship with a gold medal.
Per Åslund is one of two players, Peppe Lundh is the other, who was also another in 2011.
– Then it was Rijkaard Wallen, Christian Berglund and Jonas Frogren who painted with gold. And when we won for the first time in 2009, it was Jurgen Johnson.
– That I would stand here this time, I would not have dreamed of.
“I won this as a team”
In this playoff match, he touched the record for points in a playoff match in Färjestad.
With 18 points, he came in the same harvest season that Jürgen Johnson and Swiss Marcel Jenny were alone before.
Yes, Per Åslund is having a hard time picking up on everything that happened in this playoff.
We went with the idea that we had everything to win, but this first away win at Skellefteå was very important I think. It gave us something to build on. But every game series was very tight.
Perslund has emerged as the full king of points in the playoffs.
He ended up one point ahead of superstar Linus Omark at the end and the entire team cheered when it was Åslund who was called up as the play-off’s best player.
Next, he went through a whole bunch of teammates and managed each one.
– We won this as a team and the explanation that worked well for me is that I played in a tough streak with Joakim Nygård and Gustav Rydahl. It really clicked between us.
When we’re on our way to the gold plate, he picks up his cell phone and calls the family at his home in Karlstad.
Malin’s wife and children Greta and Lou, five and eight.
“It would be nice to be with the family”
The party atmosphere at home is said to be the same as in the changing room here in Luleå.
– Yes, it would be nice to be with the family for a while now. Malin had to pull a big load now during qualifying, he says.
About the same load as Per Åslund in his second family, playing in both box play and strength play and never losing a disc.
– Yes, it can be felt in the body, I can say.
The celebration of gold continued here in Lulea long after the public returned home.
Continues in Karlstad tomorrow.
Hence, Burslund would pay more tribute.
