New York. Victor Hedman has scored many different goals during his long, illustrious NHL career, but nothing quite compares to Tampa’s win over Ottawa last night.
Hold a disc in the middle of the castle and swing it with a backhand.
– It was a winding target. Rina Bolnas, says Sportbladet’s star back-up after the 6-4 win.
At the end of the first period at the Canadian Tire Center, Victor Hedman was able to live out the Pele Foschogues inside him.
Player Nikita Kucherov shot the puck from the right side and tried to pass the ball to the center of the field, but the ball bounced off his leg and suddenly went wide. ‘Vigge’ came riding – and whipped with a backhand.
– I don’t know if you have participated before. It was a great goal. says Rina Bolnas by phone from the Canadian capital.
Ball nose? Is this your bandy team? I thought this was Selanger?
– Haha no, I was carrying drugs in her name. The closest bandy team we have in Ö-vik is probably Härnösand, but if I have one it’s Sandviken. Grandma and Grandpa lived in Okilbo, and I often visited when I was a child. So I say Sandviken.
He scored eleven points
However, it was rather the case that Västerås – the current Swedish champion – played Tampa in the victory game against the Senators.
– Yes, I am very satisfied with this effort. We were very stable against a desperate team, especially in the first and second half. Then they came to push the third man, and I think we stood well at that time as well, continues Victor.
Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point produced a combined nine points. What do you say about that?
– Must be considered fully fit.
In addition to his quick goal, the 32-year-old Angerman native has personally contributed an assist for a total of 11 points, is second in all-time scoring and has made an inspiring impression all season.
– Yes, I think it felt really good in all the matches. I am strong in the legs.
An assist to goalkeeper Johansson
It’s easy to conclude that it’s because for the first time in a long time I had a proper summer vacation this year?
– It’s partly about this, I’ve been able to recover and I’ve been able to train really well. But it’s also about me getting older and making sure we take advantage of every opportunity we have left.
Goalkeeper Jonas Johansson also assisted on a goal while stopping 24 Ottawa shots.
Across the ice, Anton Forsberg – who replaced Joonas Korpisalo at the start of the second period – stopped 14 of Tampa’s 17 shots.
