Scored the ball of the match against Örebro
It has only happened three times before throughout history.
Skellefteå is ready for the club’s eighth final in the 2000s after going 0-2 in matches against Örebro.
– It’s the best of the two teams in the final, it’s a great feeling, says Peter Granberg at C Moore.
Örebro started the semi-final series against Skellefteå by winning their first two matches.
In the context of the playoffs, that usually means moving forward.
1–0
Because there have only been three times before – in 71 game series – a team has turned the tables.
Most recently it was Växjö in 2016.
Seven years later, Skellefteå succeeded in the same feat.
Västerbottings has won four in a row. The ball of the match was scored against Örebro on Thursday night when the visitors won 1-0.
– The last four games we played five men together, and then it’s difficult for us to face them. Best of the two teams in the final, says Peter Granberg at C Moore, “It’s a great feeling.”
Fifth zero
Jonathan Johnson scored the goal with 15 seconds left in the first half when he was hit in front of the goal by a pinball.
The home team put up a valiant effort in the third period, but struggled to create scoring opportunities. Thus, Linus Soderström kept his fifth clean sheet during the qualifiers.
Växjö is waiting in the final match, which starts on Saturday.
Skellefteå has earned two SM gold medals in the 2000s and has been to eight finalists over the same period.
