Surprisingly, Björklöven got his favorite tip of the season.
But the Bear Quinta gang did not work.
They took a deep dive.
This evening, Björklöven was 0-0 at Hovet, when AIK crushed Västerbottinnings 4-0.
This leaves them in tenth place in the table.
Björklöven, who was on the verge of winning the series when Allsvenskan coaches cast their pre-season votes.
This is despite the fact that Djurgården has been relegated and has recruited a whole host of players for the national team.
I was surprised myself, because I see the Stockholm team as the favorite.
But there is a lot of new in the winter in Leuven and the team seems to be suffering from the same childhood illnesses as him HV71 do in shl.
It takes time for all the new players to settle in and create a team, but of course you can’t blame any time period.
It’s still a bit shaky in a team that has reached the Allsvenskan finals three times in a row.
AIK was unexpectedly good this evening
Coach Victor Strahlei, who came on after Hans Walson retired last year, is under pressure right away.
Now two encounters against Mutuna and Östersund, and two victories there await peace of mind.
Now I have to say AIK was surprisingly good this evening too.
A very different team than the team that lost 6-2 in Östersund last time.
It was a match that promised more in front of 5,881 spectators in Houpt.
New Canadian Adam Rockwood scored twice in front of his new home crowd and AIK looked like a big team ahead.
But who can be sure of anything in this entertainment league?
Well, perhaps Kristianstad will continue to be a sensation after last year’s sixth place.
Low-budget gang Michael Gath lost half of the team after this success, but went on to win.
After tonight 3-2 against Moura they have three straight wins and still top the table with a maximum of nine points and they are already a great team machine
And the next match will be at home against Djurgården, which they defeated in a sensational Hooft 4-2.
Kroos stop for the exciting team
I’m not going to lift Kristianstad to the sky yet, but if they also win that game at home, I’m ready to sound a storm warning.
But for Östersund’s other exciting side, he stopped blaring after two impressive home wins such as Södertälje and AEK.
He crushed Västerås Yamtarz 8-4 at home at the ABB Arena.
Celebrating almost the same goal in Norrköping, Modu managed to hold off and win 6-5 over Vita Hasten.
The most interesting thing was that MODO’s Josh Dickinson sailed as captain in the Points League after one goal, two assists and a total of six points (2+4) in three games.
Dickinson was supposed to replace last year’s successful import Sam Vigneault when he disappeared into the HV71 and so far appears to have worked.
