difficult preparations
Despite his nightmare load as he arrived in Karlstad on Monday evening and trained with the team for the first time on Tuesday morning, it was a trek across the Atlantic in two days with six hours of sleep.
Just before lunch on Thursday he was ready for tonight’s game.
Färjestad had the most coordinated formations and created more chances.
Many new acquisitions convinced
The talented 19-year-old Liam Ogren had pace and physique, among other things gaining great confidence in his power play.
The thought of midfielder David Tomasek of the Czech Republic showed difficult and accurate passing.
It was Henrik Bjorklund who broke the season score when he scored 1-0 from close range after 09.10 of the second half.
Big thanks to Jeremy Grolow who stomped around the Lexand players found the stick in “Bjorka”.
Joakim Nygård took a totally unusual free position and made it 2-0 after 11.36 of the middle period, thanks to a quick conversion with Michael Lindqvist.
Victor Eggesel scored 3-0 on the power play after 2.01 of the third run by Liam O’Gren.
Hafsigt in Leksund
In a hectic and pre-season Lekesand Stadium played the trio of new signings Lucas Videmo, Eddie Larsson and Fred Nelson, while Max Verono and Philip Larsson stood on the sidelines.
It looks like Fred Nilsson will be able to secure a contract after his trial, otherwise younger players Felix Unger Sorum, Arvid Elgas and Anton Johansson would have been in the mood to play.
The Strömstad hockey classic continues with Leksand-Frölunda on Saturday and Färjestad-Frölunda on Sunday.
