HV71 at 54 points after 50 rounds.
MODO at 60 points and Linköping on 64 points with two matches and six points left to play.
Thus, the former are ready for qualifying games after a 2-3 loss against Örebro on Thursday evening.
– It’s not good enough today. We take a big step back to last. I am extremely disappointed that we cannot hold up the consistent game last, says coach Anton Blomqvist in TV4
Blomqvist: “Not nearby”
He continues:
– We complicate it and get stagnant. Then it is difficult to play ice hockey.
So now they have to focus on qualifying, without having arranged their problems.
– It’s very difficult. I have tried to answer that question in 50 rounds. We try to show a good game, but it is not enough today.
The bottom competitors won
At the same time, the situation is thus open between Modo and Linköping for the last rounds. This after Modo took the chance by hitting Luleå and barely into the bottom.
– I think that from the fact that everything is crap and that it is a failure to play qualifying, there is something to land in it. You have to focus on certain things and get a small lead.
Modo defeated Luleå on Thursday evening and Linköping defeated Timrå.
