Örnsköldsvik. Modou went to the pump at home against Leksand.
Then coach Matthias Karlin was not satisfied.
– He says: I feel very disappointed.
It was a great return for Modo in the SHL. The team arrived at the home game against Leksand with three straight wins and as one of the teams in the top tier in the SHL – at the same time as Leksand had a heavy 0-5 loss to Farestad behind them.
But when the puck was released, it was Lexand who was in full gear.
-I am very disappointed in our first period. We’re not there, Lexand probably wins 90 percent of the fights. Club duels, body duels, sledding – you name it. This is not what I’m used to when it comes to my team. It was a really bad period while Leksand performed well, says coach Matthias Karlin.
“Indianary”
On the other hand, the score was 0-0 after the first half and midway through the half, the game improved somewhat in the second half. But then David Rundblad failed to pass. Max Verono grabbed the puck and played forward Carter Ashton, who scored 1-0.
– He’s Indian, and there’s not much he can say. Just didn’t get the permits and they’re taking care of it. “It’s something that happens sometimes, but obviously I would have liked to do better than that,” Rundblad says.
“It’s completely unnecessary”
In the third half, things got worse for Modo. Riley Woods was given a restraining order and Eric Wally Walterholm got two minutes for abusing officials at the same time.
Leksand took advantage of this through Lukas Vejdemo.
– It won’t be easy. Firstly, we don’t score goals and then it’s very difficult. One is very unfortunate and comes out of nowhere. Runner-up would also be kind of wrong because we’re choosing three versus five which is completely unnecessary. Not good enough. It’s difficult to win hockey games at this level when you give advantages to opponents, as we do today, says Matthias Karlin.
