Modo walks on water at the beginning of SHL.
It’s rare to see so many previously unconfirmed cards develop into solid SHL players with a gold advantage.
In Rogel, it’s the opposite, at least away from home.
Autumn in the SHL is often newcomer time, and there is nothing strange or unusual about that. If there is ever a time when a newcomer tends to rack up more points than expected, it is in the first few months until the November break.
Everything is new, exciting and inspiring.
Modo really looks like he’s having a lot of fun.
It’s low shoulders and gas on the bottom, but in a controlled manner and puck care that impresses.
Up front, the relatively undrafted trio of Sam Vigneualt, Johan Södergran and Erik Walli Walterholm was the hottest group in the SHL and scored points during the opener.
And when VWS couldn’t arrange a shot on goal (the match and chances were ripe), defender August Berge (of all people) stepped up and took on the role of sniper.
For Berg’s first goal, Vigneault and Wally Walterholm in particular were behind the preparation work.
Rögle’s star name has been betrayed
It seems that most things are going well, especially at home, for Modou, who is also playing without two players who are supposed to form the spearhead of the attack: the injured Mikael Ruhoma, and the newly arrived, who is not ready to play the role of Danny or Regan.
Beating Linkoping and the HV71 is one thing. Meeting leaders Rögle looking for their first win away from home will be a completely different matter.
I believed.
But Rogel acted sleepy.
After a good first period, there was no desperation or fire at all until the final five minutes.
It’s not enough if you want to get points from Hägglunds Arena.
Everyone who thought Rögle would step up, put their foot down and get their first away win of the season were sorely disappointed.
It should be possible to expect more from players like Apollos, Tambellini, Zar and Raifors. A total of three goals scored by Rögle in their first three away games speaks volumes about how brutal they are.
Brady leads Ferguson, just like his entire series. Anton Bengtsson tries, but they are also lonely.
If I were Cam Abbott, I would be very disappointed in the standout players you mentioned after this effort.
The fact that Rögle also received two team penalties for having too many players on the ice speaks volumes about the level of focus this evening.
However, I’m not going to criticize Modo’s introduction.
The win over Rögle means the newcomer sits third in the table after Färjestad and Örebro.
The audience figure is disappointing
There is a joy to the game, a sense of safety and fun that only a few SHL teams can match right now.
Sam Vigenault roams like a master of the field and sometimes does little as he pleases.
The SHL is a marathon that takes on its real character when it starts with three games a week.
But no one can take away Modo from the 10 points she’s already got – and the way she got them.
The only thing of some interest is the crowd size: just 4,321 people came to see Modo provide prop hockey for the first two home games,
Thursday after payday.
Especially since there were only 4,223 people present on Tuesday against HV71. Those who thought too much had saved themselves for the day and mistook the match.
It has been rejected, Ofekspor.
Despite the tough economic conditions, your team deserves more than this. However, there was no shadow over the Curva Carlabile, who filled in well and lasted the entire match.
If the team continues like this, even the seemingly difficult Öviks crowd can’t help but come.
