19-year-old Glifford, who was rated for the junior WC, got the chance when HV71 had an injury crisis before the meeting with Modo when both Hugo Alnefelt and Frederik Dichow withdrew their offers.
After that he has been successful. Four games and four wins. His first clean sheet came against Rögle.
– You get warm when you see a guy like that, a guy you want to have with you in life, who you want to keep close to you and take care of. Extremely humble and responsive. Not so much this new generation that only thinks about themselves, he is very much a team player, says HV71’s coach Anton Blomqvist.
Against Rögle, all 20 shots that came at him were saved. Watch some of the saves in the player above.
– It feels absolutely incredible, now you are living life. Unbelievably fun to keep a clean sheet, it’s been a long time since I last did it, really nice, says Olof Glifford in Tv4 Play’s broadcast.
