Modu tightened his grip on the final against Djurgården.
But they can’t beat the hotel chaos in Stockholm.
– We must pick up from the hotel tomorrow and move to Solna, says general manager Henrik Gradin.
The design of the Allsvenskan hockey final differs from the SHL version and, above all, the appearance of the game table.
Modu started with two home matches and now Djurgården plays two matches in Stockholm. This means teams get fewer flights, but more hotel nights.
And sometimes it can come together.
“we have one night”
As for Modo this weekend. Usually, the visiting teams stay at the Globe Hotel near the arena area of the Gullmarsplan. But as this weekend is packed with sports with SC finals in indoor bandy and Sunday’s big game in soccer, Djurgården-IFK Gothenburg, there is hysterical pressure on available hotel rooms.
– We got one night at the Globe Hotel, from Friday to Saturday. Then we have to move to a hotel in Solna, says Henrik Gradin, general manager of Modo.
So the team can check out on Saturday and go to the Elite in Solna and unpack again. Finding 20 free hotel rooms at The Globe was an impossible task.
“Glad we won”
– We’re used to this kind of thing so it shouldn’t bother us. And it cannot be solved in any way, and we cannot do anything differently. It was clear very late on that Djurgården was in the final and then the market was what it was. We have to love the situation, says Graden.
Modo plans to train tomorrow in Hovet. It is uncertain if this training will end after the marathon game on Friday night and the hotel relocation is also variable.
– I’m glad we won the match, and then everything like that became easier. But what journalism that was. I’ll be up a long time before I fall asleep, says the general manager after Final Three.
