Håkan Loob’s SHL record is in jeopardy
It’s the start of the season, but the question must be asked.
Is this the season when Håkan Loob’s ‘impossible’ SHL record goes up?
Oskarshamn’s Patrick Karlqvist and Finnish newcomer Ante Swimula Chemistry initially showed that they are on the right track.
It’s not just one record but two numbers I’m talking about Hakan Lops Both cases were identified in the 1982/83 season.
He scored 42 goals and 76 points.
She turns 40 this season and ranks first in the world of senior women’s athletics from the East German era.
hopeless to win.
This isn’t the first time Håkan Loob has brought in and scored, when someone started the season with fanfare.
But somehow she always survived in the end.
This is despite the fact that there are more matches being played these days.
Loeb set his record in 36 runs and averaged 2.11 points per game.
No one will be able to threaten it.
But the scoring record applies to each season and not to the number of games, so today’s players have a significant handicap of sixteen extra rounds compared to the Gotland world star.
Now Oscar’s new radar couple Patrick Karlqvist and Antti Soimola are starting the season so strong that both are clearly ahead of expectations.
Karlkvist in goal and Swimula with points.
The real Patrick Karlqvist, who made his SHL debut as a 29-year-old last year, scored his eighth goal against Färjestad on Saturday afternoon.
In seven games.
If he maintains this rate, he will finish the season with 60 goals.
And the successful contract, Ante Sumela, scored a goal and a crucial pass, and led the league with a total of 13 points (4 + 9).
In his case, the forecast is 97 points in 52 games.
So far, they are both ahead of Loob, but this requires that both remain healthy and continue to increase points.
It’s not the easiest thing in SHL and it’s a lot more closed than it was in the ’80s and where the goalkeeping game is very different than it was in those days.
Those closest needed a full 55-game season.
Glad hope lives longer
Pär Arlbrandt, then at Linköping, was closer to 71 points (26+45) in the 2013-14 season and Bud Holloway of Skellefteå reached the same number in 2012-13, but scored earlier (20+51).
Arlbrandt in 53 games, Holloway max 55 games.
In terms of goals, Brenna’s Tom Bissett was the closest.
He scored 40 goals in 50 games in the winter of 1998-99, so it was close to that time.
The closest player in the 2000s is Matthias Weinhandel of Linköping with 35 goals in the 2007-08 season.
By way of comparison, Loob averaged over 100 points in 52 games today, so he may have been fortunate that he only had 36 regular season games.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to completely beat the record.
But will there be smoke this winter?
No, something tells me he survived this time too.
But it is good that hope lasts longer.
Now all superduo points were not enough for victory. Färjestad’s Per Aslund clinched a 4-3 late-period, just as he did against Rögle last time.
Then Joakim Nygård managed to send 5-3 in an empty box as well.
Roger Ronberg had to put in a huge cross on the surface of Scandinavia after the 2-1 win over Lulea and finally a goal in the power of play. second in eight matches. Max Friberg scored four goals against five as well, so it was a successful evening for Frölunda’s special formations.
Leksand had no problems with Malmö at home and won 4-1.
Is Scania’s spell broken now?
Well, I think they have more of them after two tough games.
Timra made 0-2 to 2-2 after two quick goals in the third half.
It took the match to a penalty shootout, as Anton Lander decided after nine consecutive missed hits. Important points for medium platforms.
