Södertälje is suddenly the hottest team in the Allsvenskan hockey game.
After a poor start with one win in the first five games, the club turned into a giant killer.
Against AIK, ten minutes was enough.
Now AIK is not a giant in this context, but they have the potential to win most of this derby against Södertälje. Recently with 6-3 in Hofitte.
When it comes to the Giants, I think more of the teams that beat SSK earlier in the four-game winning streak now.
The match started 3-1 at home against Djurgården, 3-2 away against Beck Karlskoga and then a defeat and 5-0 at home against Västerås.
And now 2-3-2 against AIK after a violent start, which killed all the tensions even before the ten minutes into the first period.
Malmö Eric Engstrand’s loan kick started with a quick and 1-o already after 3.41.
After 7.14, hot Nikola Pasic found a gap between the legs of AEK goalkeeper Claes Indri and was 2-0 up in a five-for-four match.
Then Philip Ingsund inserted a disc into an empty bin ten minutes before the passage of time.
He read 9.46 and this match was, if not over, then done.
Now there is nothing more difficult than leading 3-0 in hockey, but it is much better than falling behind with the same numbers.
But there is definitely something to the fact that an early 3-0 lead leads to a certain mental breakdown.
Now Oscar Nord cut back for AIK in the second half and Adam Rockwood made it 3-2 in the third and it wasn’t decided until the final whistle.
But it was still a fair victory in the end against AIK who woke up too late.
No, Södertälje is underway and the question is how long this peak shape will last.
You can’t be sure of anything on this series, but the feeling is that SSK is in the top half for survival.
After the nightmare started with just one win in the first five matches, Södertälje scored as many points as Modo, the league leader in the last ten.
New coach Magnus Pogren has the ability to bring his teams together, and another key, of course, is sporting director Emil Georgeson.
SSK manages to lure the magician from Västervik, where Georgsson performs constant wonders with a small country gang that tends to fall forever.
Felt like a guarantee of success.
Now there are no guarantees in this series, but SSK has been growing every round and I’m finding it hard to see it stop abruptly.
There is still a huge difference from last year’s fiasco season, when the team had to qualify against Troy to hang on.
It definitely won’t happen again.
At the same time, AIK faces huge problems far from home.
At the moment, they are the worst away team in the series and they are still waiting for the first three pointers.
In eight matches they played at home three points.
It’s a sad result.
At home, AIK is an entirely different team, with just one full-time loss and thirteen points scored in just six matches.
It’s a puzzle that coach Anton Blomqvist must solve.
Otherwise, AIK will continue to be Allsvenskan’s big hockey disappointment.
In a series where she sways more than most, Modo just moves like a train.
There was no turning back, and this evening it was 4-1 in front of El Mtouna and a safe league lead four points ahead of Djurgarden.
In addition, the still weak Björklöven fell away from Kristianstad with a score of 7-4.
I thought West Bottoms finished after switching from 1-3 to 4-3, but it completely collapsed in the end, conceding three goals in over two and a half minutes.
One of them is in a game of five on three.
This is despite the fact that Nicholas Schelke has scored two new goals for Björklöven and a total of 15 goals in the 16 matches he has played.
There is a high risk that Magnus Wernblom’s goal scorer from 2005-06 will be broken, when he scored 37 goals for Skellefteå hockey allsvenskan’s first season.
As expected, Djurgarden easily won 4-0 at home against Västervik.
The most amazing thing was that Linus Klassen was completely aimless this time.
