New York. No, no rust could hold onto Eric Carlson during this weekend’s All-Star Gala.
He was sensational as usual in San Jose’s defeat against Tampa last night, owning his 17th goal of the season and then brilliantly setting up Timo Meyer’s sudden death goal.
– Yes, it was a really good feeling, says Smålänner, just as usual, towards Sportbladet after winning 4-3.
Many of those who participate in the annual All Star Gala usually have a hard time getting started when it’s time to get serious again, but not Erik Karlsson.
When the San Jose Sharks resumed their season last night at Amalie Arena, it continued in the same formidable fashion as before the hiatus.
Already on the power play at the beginning of the first period, the home players committed the mortal sin of giving him time and space in the castle and then immediately hit a shot.
– Well, it was nice to be able to do that right away, she says “EK65” when we talk to him next.
It was your 17th goal of the season. This leaves you with only four more to score your own personal goals. With 30 matches remaining. You must smoke now, right?
– We can hope so, as long as you don’t break it now, hehe. Just keep shooting as much as possible.
or fit. He does it with some precision, too, Carlson. Last night, he first assisted Jonah Gadjovic tied it at 3-3 early in the third period. And so he counts all the repeats of Timo Meyer’s decisive 2.19 in overtime.
– Yes, it turned out well. But Meyer is also great at finding the right surfaces in such situations, he continues.
I was down 3-1 after the first half. Are you strong enough to come back and win against a team like Tampa?
– truly. We started badly, but that’s understandable after such a long break. Then we took it and carried it together with the way it should be on the road against a team like Tampa.
Very nice to win against Victor HedmanOne of your best friends?
– Absolutely. When he saw me score, he tried to score someone himself and shoot and shoot. But she didn’t get better. He can score as many goals as he can against all the other teams, but not against us, haha.
Instead, Hedman had to accept he got help last night.
