Brynäs leaves the SHL pole – Marcus Leifby

This is the text of the comment. Analysis and positions of the writer.

Astonishing, fait accompli, Gävle is an ice hockey town frozen in despair.

No one can sleep as badly as a supporter the night after a crushing loss.

When brown-nosed people wake up on a Friday (and a few mornings), there will be a half-second window when they think what happened didn’t happen.

They’ll drunkenly rub the sleeping grit out of their eyes and think briefly, briefly, briefly, “It didn’t happen, did it?” Before they could feel in their whole body that it had happened.

Unreal fact.

As long as I’m alive, on winter Thursdays I’ve been able to click on ‘Sportextra’ and with the help of Radiosport, travel to Gavlerinken where Anders Gozzi drew against Västerås, or to Delfinen where Mikko Luović clashed with Johan Finnström.

For the first time since the 1959-1960 season, Brennas will now play in the Swedish second division in ice hockey.



Terrible and unbearable

It is almost unimaginable, monstrous and unbearable for those closest to us, of course, but it is in no way inconsistent with the continuity of life.

on the contrary.

Sometimes it seems the club will go to the grave, dissolve into atoms, and be integrated into the Bäckebro Koloniförening, but they will “only” play in Allsvenskan.

It will be difficult financially, it may take time to adjust, and it will lead to something pretty awful in self-image, but for many ice hockey clubs in Sweden, existence without 50 million kronor in TV money is the norm and it’s only the outcast who can’t afford to. He lives like this.

The “league model” in Swedish ice hockey, which some are more passionate about than others and which is really based solely on the SHL making the most money and at the expense of others, is unforgiving and fundamentally corrects that more teams are getting a taste of everyday life outside the league. Rotten Swede.

Due to its status as an SHL club, Brynäs had strong opportunities over the years to influence what the Swedish league structure should look like, how many teams would be relegated and promoted, and had the right to vote at association meeting as the SHL and SDHL association.

Now Swedish Ice Hockey has decided that ups and downs will be done by pushing with a painstaking little needle, and that’s what awaits Brinas.

An accident committee should be appointed

Either they can bury themselves and feel sorry for themselves, or they can roll up their sleeves and deal with the state of things.

Not everyone can always win and have a good time, everything can’t always go his way, and every time things go wrong, there’s a chance to make things right again.

And with this attitude, Brynäs IF, winner of 13 SM gold medals, must face the future.

I honestly don’t know how it’s going to go, but some kind of accident commission should be appointed where they get to the bottom of what at least from the outside looks like structural rot.

Who leads the club and on what basis?

Does the self-image reflect real life, and does real life characterize daily activities?

You will learn to do this in the future.

All power to those in the Assembly who will now come out and plead for patience and long-term patience.

Brynäs is one of the few clubs in Sweden with a sustainability officer, they issue sustainability reports, use renewable electricity in the arena and have a melt pit where they (hiding their fired coaches) reuse snow from the ice machine.

All of this is, of course, reasonable and responsible, but at the same time they run the least sustainable first team operations of Swedish ice hockey.

Like the president of Sicilian football Collie, the club sacked coaches and replaced people in senior positions.

10, 11, 12, 13, 10 and 13

The other day, former Brynäs club manager Michael Campese became Swedish champions with VSK Bandy, in Örebro Stefan Bengtzen, former Brynäs sporting director, built a harmonious squad making for one of the club’s best ever sporting seasons.

Brynäs’ last few seasons have been a long run from Golgotha ​​towards Allsvenskan, the last six years have meant table positions 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 10th and 13th, in nine seasons they have sacked six coaches.

It would take 50 meters of clothesline to hang all the wrong decisions the club has made over the years.

In late November, the lead was extended with Finnish coach Mikko Manner with Justification.

The journey we started with Miko last year continues and we look forward to working together next year as well. Mikko’s ambition, desire to win and values-based leadership fit in well with what we as a team want to stand for.

That trip took just over 100 days before Manner and his men were sacked ahead of the qualifier against Malmö, a decision that also proved wrong.

I’m not saying Brynäs has gone through the SHL’s contract with the Finnish troika in the booth, but I honestly find it hard to see how it could have gone any worse.

In the qualifier against Malmö, we instead saw four shades of burnt Brynäs that puffed out a bit but weren’t really close.

They tried everything, new coaches, other voices, rented stadiums, they took the lead in matches, they didn’t take the lead in matches, they changed goalkeepers like others changed coffee filters but in the end there was nothing left but to give up.

The final moment of the decisive match and the ensuing scenes in Javelrein were cathartic even for the impartial observer.

With the help of Sop-Åke, Tigern, Tord and Stigge, Thure Wickberg once transformed Brynäs IF from a neighborhood club into the best ice hockey team in Sweden.

Now it’s up to a few others to do the same.

From the ashes into the fire, spit into your fist and meet at Sätraåsen.

There’s work to be done, brown nose.
