Games sand. Kale Östmann missed Leksand’s first two games.
Due to a “scary” injury.
Now he’s talking about it.
“I lost the blade while warming up,” Ostman says.
Kalle Östmann was one of Leksand’s best players last season. He joined the team when Nils-Amann opted to sign with the Vancouver Canucks and after Östmann signed an agreement with Vasteras, Leksand used his transfer clause and bought out Borlange’s man.
He was probably intended as a backup player. filling.
But it was completely different. Östmann scored goals, including on the power play, and when the regular season was summed up, he was Leksand’s top scorer. Before Marek Hrvik, Carter Camper, Justin Kloss, Oscar Lange, and Peter Cihlaric.
Not too bad for an emergency solution.
Now a new season has begun.
But Ostman had a different beginning.
Lost pieces
He took to the ice with Leksand and warmed up before last Thursday’s SHL debut against Örebro. An easier feel session and make sure the equipment fits well and the feel is correct.
But it was no walk in the park. Rather a nightmare, or walking into a hole.
– I fell a little and it was as it was. I dropped the pieces and went to the edge. Hit the head. Maybe you could say that’s what’s going on, says Kale Ostman.
Callie missed the premiere.
The match was last Saturday.
– Not fun, I want to help, of course. But he says it was good to be there against Rugel.
Achieve the first victory
Leksand lost the first two matches.
But against Rögle, the Valley and Kalle Östmann exploded.
The score was 1-1 before the start of the third period and the game was in the balance. Östmann and Leksand had the right feeling and in the end Leksand won 4-1 after three assists from Östmann. Perhaps most interestingly, he has been behind three goals for the Premier League’s top scorers this season; Peter Sellaric, Max Verono, and Carter Ashton.
– It was fun to play and it is important for our scorers to score, concludes Kalle Östmann.
