SKELLEFTEÅ / Stockholm. Skellefteå is one victory from the SM Final.
Jonathan Bodas clinched his fifth semi-final with a cannon shot in sudden death.
– It came out perfectly in the ‘wheelhouse’, so it was just a matter of dreaming everything you could, the match champ tells Sportbladet.
2–2 in matches before game five in Skellefteå and 2–2 after full time.
Despite several scoring opportunities in the third period, it remained scoreless and it took sudden death for both teams.
There, Jonathan Bodas stepped forward and decided in the second half with a powerful shot.
“I spoke to Mueller…”
– Fairly beautiful, I think he deserved to win, says the champion of the match to Sportbladet.
– We are patient and that is exactly why we were fired. We win fair.
How did you feel when the puck entered the net?
– So damn cute awesome!
– I spoke to Müller before the draw and said ‘we’re not going to let this pass, we’ve scored these goals’ and it worked.
“Weakest shot in the series”
It was Orebro that started out better. Milton Oskarsson made it 1-0 after five minutes, but then Skellefteå took over in terms of play.
Max Lindholm (!) threw the equalizer from the blue line behind a blocked Jonas Enroth into the goal.
– Lasse Granqvist at C.More said it was the lightest shot in the series.
Then Robert Leno made it 2-1 for Örebro and headed in a cross making it 3-1 at the end of the second half. Instead, Linus Højbjerg equalized for his first goal in a Skellefteå shirt, just four seconds before half-time while Christian Näkyvä was sent off.
Now Skellefteå has a match ball in the sixth match, which will be played in Örebro on Tuesday.
