TAMMERFORS. Joe Felino was suspended for the rest of the restroom after an ugly stamp with a skateboard.
Lucas Raymond and Jonathan Berggren are teammates with him at the Detroit Red Wings.
– What happened, happened, he has to answer for that, says Lucas Raymond.
Canadian Joe Felino received a five-match ban after he kicked Swiss Nino Niedretter in the shin with his ski rail first.
Many reacted strongly and were upset about the attack, which attracted attention in the restroom.
– I saw him and followed him. I can’t say much about it, it’s a sad situation. It was a comment and I don’t have much to say about it either, says Lucas Raymond.
“nice friend”
Lucas Raymond, 21, and Jonathan Berggren, 22, know their fellow forward, 23, as well as his fellow Michigan players.
– I spoke to him on the phone after what happened, we said it remains between us. As I know him, he is a nice guy. I like him very much, he is such a nice friend. We have fun together and I enjoy being with him in Detroit,” says Lucas Raymond.
“Click well with them”
He himself scored the 3-1 goal in a 4-1 win over Denmark and has seven points (six goals and two assists) in six World Cup matches.
The first series, along with Leo Carlsson and Jonatan Berggren, has been called the Puppy Series and has charmed many with its quick and deft passing game.
– I feel comfortable and have good speed and energy. Now I want to build on that in the qualifiers. Lucas Raymond says he matches well with Leo Carlsson and Jonathan Berggren, both of whom play with good speed and are good at keeping the puck.
Kick out in the booth
When Denmark were 1-0 down, Trey Kronor ended up poorly placed between three and five in 1.30 after Lucas Raymond had two minutes to catch from the penalty area.
– I got a club in the booth and tried to get rid of it. I don’t know if I’ve been kicked out of the booth before, says Lucas Raymond, it was so good that men would kill me for me.
A pure set final against the USA now awaits, with Tre Kronor having everything in his hands to win the set before the quarter-finals awaits.
The USA and Trey Kronor were both undefeated in the first six matches of the group stage.
Joe Felino played the SHL season in Malmö three seasons ago.
