Björklofen won the top against Modo
Stockholm / UMEÅ. By defeating Björklöven, Modo could in principle secure a series victory.
Now the score was lowered instead in the opposing meeting, which ended 3-0.
– We will try to hunt them down like a pack of wolves, says “Lövens” Frederick Anderson.
Hockeyallsvenskan regular season is on the rise and Modo is currently leading the table ahead of Björklöven.
Today, the rivals met and Övik’s side had seven points to spare and two games less to play, 11 left to play against Leuven’s nine.
Perhaps the win meant a guaranteed win for the series.
“We will hunt like wolves.”
Now it was the other way around and only four points separated the two teams.
– As long as there is an opportunity, we will try to hunt them down like a pack of wolves. So it’s not just up to us. Bjorkloven captain Fredrik Andersson says after the home win that they have to lose too.
Despite the massive game advantage, 29-15, Modo was emptied into the crowded Winpos arena.
– We really fought for and with each other today. It was really fun to see, says Anderson, who praised the frame.
– Everyone in this town grows a little when they go to work on Mondays when you win games like this.
The goalkeeper is indispensable
Christopher Bengtsson put the puck in the first half, and a little later Matthias Norstebaugh played in his place.
2-0 held out for a long time and the guests bombarded Jonah Voutilainen with a shot.
But the Finn fought back and Daniel Rahimi made it 3-0 with a minute left in the match.
Joona’s efforts were amazing. On four or five occasions I thought he was a target, but he grabbed it, Anderson says.
Modo’s defense star David Bernhard says the puck didn’t jump his way today.
– We have much more chances than them. Bernhardt says you’re frustrated, but we’ll take the good parts with us and practice more on scoring goals.
