If you miss shots by a large margin, it is hard to win ice hockey games.
But if you have a great goalkeeper, an effective attack and an indifferent opposing team, it can go your way.
And he did it for Bjorkloven in a 5-1 away win over AIK.
In terms of play, Bjorkloven played better matches. AIK was dominant in the shot stats and fired 38 shots on target compared to Bjorkloven’s 16.
But it mattered less because Joona Voutilainen played great between Björklöven’s starts while scoring most of the time.
“The Beautiful Handkerchief”
– I think everyone with eyes has seen that we are disconnected today. We weren’t up to speed and “Gnaget” competed more than us. Having said that, we won 5-1, says Bjorkloven captain Fredrik Andersson at C. More.
Leuven made it 1-0 after four minutes of play when Jacob Andersson received a ball from the AIK defense and headed in a shot that was headed in by Maxime Fortier. Two minutes later, Alexander Wiklund broke up an AIK pass, freed it and made a numerical damage of 2-0.
Then the lead doubled in the second half.
Replacement – after ten shots
Joel Mostonen made it 3-0 and with five minutes left in the middle half, Bjorkloven took advantage of another AIK neglect and Scott Polley came on his own with the goalkeeper. He then made it 4-0 on Björklöven’s tenth shot of the match, after which AIK traded goalkeeper Claes Endre in favor of Niklas Lundström.
Bjorkloven eventually won 5-1.
– If you’re angry after winning, that’s a good sign. Now, in and of itself, I am not upset, I am very happy, says Frederick Anderson.
This was the team’s fifth consecutive victory and thus provisional league leaders. Modu, who scores the same but with a worse goal difference, will meet Djurgarden later on Friday evening.
