Norbotten matched the team hard and won the TV puck.
The reaction to this was Lulia hockey coach Thomas “Polan” Berglund.
“Of course I saw they played 50 pretty much all the time and that’s boring, he told NSD.
Thomas “Polan” Berglund, 53, himself won a TV disc award Norbotten 1984 and they rejoiced in the neighborhood’s victory on the boys’ side, the first in 37 years.
In an interview with NSD, Luleå’s coach also said he has noticed coaches have invested heavily in certain players in the playoffs set last weekend. When Sportbladet reaches him, he points to the above interview.
“Obviously I saw that they played 50 pretty much all the time and that’s sad. I don’t really want to get bogged down in what’s right or wrong, if you’re going too far you might need to go with a couple of kids. But I think it’s sad that more people can’t play, and that goes for more teams than Norrbotten. He tells the newspaper that more or less than half of the team barely has ice time.
“Maybe not what’s the big meaning”
Pollan thinks there’s reason to think about how to develop the TV disc as a format, but indicates he wants to keep the championship.
– Yes, there is a lot of interest in it and it is interesting for players to participate in it. But you may need to adjust the playing time so that more people can participate. It would be a bit of 100 percent driving to win now. You obviously want to win, but that probably isn’t the big meaning in the end. Everyone should see it and show that you are a team moving forward. But I don’t know how to deal with it.

– At what price should you win? can be discussed. Should it be done on the grounds that 40% of the team doesn’t play anything? You can have a discussion about that — and then I talk about all the teams and not just Norbotten, he says.
