– It was a roller coaster of emotions and in some way we managed to win anyway. It was pinball in all directions and then I got a good hit, a little symptomatic for this match, says Edsbyn’s goal sprayer Oscar Wikblad, who decided with a hard shot from the outside in the fifth extension minute to bandy pulse.
At extra time of regular time, Hammarby 6-6 in this super drama after returning from 3-6 in this swinging match where the initiative was constantly changing. Hammarby went up to 2-0 early.
– I’m really disappointed. We managed to fight and came back but there are small margins. It is the second match in a row that it tips over to their advantage, but we must continue to believe in this, says Hammarby’s Kasper Milerud.
Albin Bysell Söderkvist led the turn
In the 34th minute, Albin Bysell Söderkvist reduced to 2-1 for Edsbyn, who then took over the match completely, was hotter in the penalty area and won the second balls.
He also made 2-2 after submitting the ball after veteran Per Hellmyr’s precise opening pass in depth.
– We did not start well but nice that we could come back and get a dividend last quarter. It is terribly strong and we just gas on, says Bysell Söderkvist, whose team went up to 5-2 but nothing was clear.
Giant team goals without expulsions
At the beginning of the match, a real rallies broke out. Edsbyns Ted Hedell and Hammarby’s Olle Berglund were beaten on NHL-wise and cranked on each other lying on the ice and several other fights arose. However, a single deportation minute was not sentenced.
On Thursday, Edsbyn, which has taken 13 SM signs, can secure its first final since 2022.
Hammarby’s Oskar Westh has played ready for the season after going on a thumb fracture in the first seminar last Saturday.
