Snow falls, and with it Ike.
Through the hesitation of spring, we would march with hoops raised like sedge corners through a fighting wind to seek warmth and shelter in a hurricane called the Hovet.
Since 1955 the arena has stood where it is, no other hall in which ice hockey is played has stood this spring for so long, and few other hangouts can be as wasteful or as hospitable and inhospitable as Hovett’s.
Now some overpaid political pucks have decided they must be demolished.
The fans closed in on Hovet
AIK supporters decided to see their team one last time, so that it wouldn’t be the last time, supporters Ångermanlänner and Mo Domsjö were plenty and they must have felt at home in the blizzard outside.
Before a match between AIK and Tingsryd long ago, it was said that Des Moroney, called by Dagens Nyheter, promised to come to Stockholm and show how real fights happen, and that he would teach every AIK player a lesson.
Of course, interest was aroused, instead of the usual 4000-5000, 11,700 spectators came (note on the door) and were able to watch a completely normal ice hockey match.
There was no battlefield, but Des Morrone knew how to lure people into the arenas and took a chance when a reporter called.
For several years, Canadian ice hockey was very popular in Sweden, and as far as I know, no disciplinary committee was informed about what was expressed in the media.
Other times now.
I’m not advocating fights in Swedish ice hockey, but I also don’t think that more boards, committees and secret police will make ice hockey more attractive in the future.
on the contrary.
Swedish ice hockey has provided itself with far too many officials who are not really needed, and who cost a lot of money considering what they accomplish.
Do we want to hear the truth?
During the evening the character of C More stood on a long ladder behind the booth, and with a long rod he tried very hard to pick out some fine quotes from the booth and given the controversy of the past few days, I really don’t know what we should wish for.
Do we want to hear what is being said or not?
And if we want to get really close, as close as anyone else can get, perhaps we have to be prepared that it doesn’t look like the day of the Annunciation to Mary from Eckerby Church in Uppland.
In response to the Allsvenskan ice hockey concern, the Black Army printed T-shirts with Blomqvist quotes, and someone in the heel bend stole an old grandmother’s duvet cover and wrote “SPELA FULT!” With a black felt-tip pen.
And AIK came out for the game and played as their coach demanded last Saturday.
AIK pushed on and pushed all the white they could get their hands on and Matthias Carlin had to take a timeout after just six minutes.
Like a snow shovel, Eric Flood carried Nicholas Halloran several feet from a goalkeeper’s block, until he reached the plexite and almost out into the Greek charcoal grill outside.
Hawthorn started to bleed a little from the nose and a whole working group of brand strategists saw that all year’s hard work was in vain.
The draw in Hovet was great and deserves a quarter-final series like this, AIK fans did what they could to extend the season but the seven ice hockey game we were all hoping for may not quite materialize.
In the second half, MoDo showed why they won the series, taking chances that looked disgustingly effective, Theodor Niederbach scoring 0-1, David Bernhardt kicking a penalty 0-2 from half a corner, and despite AIK narrowly reducing 1-2. Over four minutes left was the necessary fuel, they squandered the chance they had just given themselves.
Modou had to toil
MoDo’s early goal at the start of the third game basically punctuated the game, AIK players didn’t know where they were in the box play and Johan Södergran managed to get a free position in front of goal with a simple spin and Niklas Lundström in the box looked heavy and motionless like Peter Gradin’s mower.
I went to six games, maybe a few too many for Matthias Carlin’s blood pressure, but MoDo finally won fairly.
The winners of the series didn’t have to flip themselves over, but it was far from an easy dance.
They now know what it takes to win tough away games in front of a scrambled public, and they’ll enter more of the ice surrounded by angry enemies in the future.
They are not even in the middle of the playoffs but have already been through the Allsvenskan ice hockey firestorm.
MoDo heels sang and celebrated with the guys the federation’s 102nd birthday, and together they could look forward to another little hell of ice hockey.
When I spoke to Matthias Carlin after the match it seemed like he had already decided which opponent they would choose in the semi-finals, he said it in the clearest way by not saying anything, but I’ve seen my shrug before and I know what you mean.
The person Carlin showed might not commit to either Björklöven or Djurgården.
AIK?
They fell and snow with them.
