Gutenberg. Two losses in a row.
Lexand then locked himself in the locker room after the match.
– On the one hand, we are completely reorganizing our playing system, and on the other hand, we have some new, less experienced players. But we can’t give up five goals and then it’s over, says coach Björn Hellqvist.
Leksand led against Örebro with a score of 2-0 in the first show. 1-0 Frolunda goal. However, both matches ended in defeat. Both times, the Dalmatians conceded five goals.
-You can’t win this league if you do that. We must learn that soon. Quickly, preferably until… When do we play again? Thursday maybe? “I know that very well,” says Björn Hellqvist.
His team had a nightmare start anyway, and he arrived late to the press conference, according to TV4 because the team locked themselves in the dressing room.
‘The cynicism must rise’
But he wasn’t particularly worried. More on Sportbladet’s question on how he feels about the start of the season.
“You look very worried, so maybe you’re looking for a negative angle now,” he says and smiles.
men…?
– First, we are completely reorganizing the game system. On the one hand, we have some new players who are less experienced. We chose to do this, and we want the boys to develop. But the cynicism has to go up, and we have to get better at playing the clock. If you have a high turnover, you probably shouldn’t rush down to the offensive zone, get the puck back and check back for 60 yards. There are some wise decisions we need to make now.
“We can’t continue like this”
Frölunda coach Roger Runeberg described the match as a “success” and Hellqvist agreed.
– That’s how it is this year, it’s raining. I’ve been doing this for 23 years, and whether you win or lose at the start of the series, you’re still sitting there scratching your head “how the hell could this happen?”. It’s not a bad hockey game today, it’s actually pretty good. Very nice individual performance and beautiful goals. But it’s a little painful when we let in five. We cannot continue like this.
Marek Hrevik impressed greatly with two goals, but was also sent off twice. The first gave Frölunda a five-on-three situation, and the second led to an own goal.
– I don’t know… What kind of second does he get in the third period? Was it even him? Oscar Lange may deliver a knockout blow, but not Hrvik. But I don’t know if I’m allowed to say that, I’ll probably get a fine. But I don’t think he was fired. But I understand judges, sometimes they think so, sometimes I don’t. I think we had two goalkeeper tackles today that don’t need to be tackled. Both Hrivik’s and Frölunda’s. They don’t do anything, it’s the goalkeepers who throw their leg.
