Another away loss for RBK in the SHL

Rögle is completely gone.

The fifth loss in a row came in Jönköping

– It’s too soft and too careless, says team captain Anton Bengtsson after the 0-4 loss to HV71.

SHL leaders Rögle got off to a shaky start.

This is largely due to a poor away game with Ángelholm’s side suffering four straight defeats and a terrible 5-16 goal difference heading into tonight’s meeting with HV71 in Jönköping.

And it didn’t get any better at Husqvarna Park.

After two periods, the home team took a 3-0 lead and finally made it 4-0 after scoring into an empty cage. Third successive home win for HV71.

Before the match, Expressen released information that HV71 are finalizing negotiations with last season’s successful acquisition, Nick Shore.

-We are looking into it, but nothing is clear yet. I have to go through the board in this case. “We have to make some changes (in the team) if we want him to come,” says sporting director Kent Norberg.
One outside and one inside?
– Yes, at least in the long term.

This was the fifth loss in a row for Rogel.

There are two reasons why it doesn’t work on the ice: poor strength, boxy play and a touch of minimal efficiency.

The latter was also initially the case against HV71.

Rögle was the best and clearly the one who created the most in the first period. A great performance by Johnny Ortio saved HV71, who managed only two shots against Christopher Refalke.

Someone hit the target. The original was a completely mad fit by the previously criticized Thomas Gregoire.

Who did the Canadian hit the puck for?

Andre Pettersson is the most accurate player on the HV team and has never made a mistake in the free position.

HV71 played really well midway through the half and then the goals came as well. The first, a technical goal by Frederik Forsberg, deceived both Johannes Johansson and Michael Kapla.

– You have to take advantage of dribbling when you have the opportunity, it doesn’t happen very often, Forsberg tells TV4.

Then a penalty kick goal by Andre Pettersson after he himself was fouled in a free position.

-We play very calmly and carelessly. “I don’t know how many turnovers (lost pucks) and free positions they have on us,” says team captain Anton Bengtsson.
