Skellefteå leads the series in the SHL after a 5-3 against Oskarshamn.
Despite a few terrifying seconds at the end of the second period.
It’s easy to get nervous afterwards, says Jonathan Budas in C More.
New series leaders. But despite this, things did not go quite smoothly for Skellefteå.
At home against Oskarshamn, Västerbottningar had the advantage in terms of play and took a seemingly reassuring 3-1 lead at the end of the second half, including through a play-box goal by Bar Lindholm.
But the nightmare 31 seconds before my period made the task more difficult.
Oskarshamn pared back, tied the game, and before the third period it was wide open.
I don’t think we’re making good decisions there. We’re obviously the better team, but they’re sharp in their positions,” said Lindholm V. C. Moore.
But in the third period, Skellefteå held his ground.
Six minutes into the first half, Rijkaard Hogg scored it 4-3, his 100th SHL point for Skellefteå, and a few minutes later Bar Lindholm added to the final score 5-3.
Star running back Jonathan Bodas praised Coach Robert Olson’s speech before the third period.
– Ruban spoke well of staying calm and playing our game. It’s easy to get nervous afterwards when you’re down two at the end of the second. It was a very good talk, he says in C More.
The 5-3 victory means Skellefteå, who have four wins in their last five matches, lead the SHL table by two points. It skips Växjö, which has completely collapsed and is lost to old Malmö.
