At the beginning of the third period, Modo played in powerplay. Riley Woods recorded the puck and the hard penetrated Mikkel Aagaard sent out the skate and angled 2-1-without any kick movement.
He went to Plexit and then wanted to take the whole arena in his arms.
– It will be a huge pressure at home and fantastic fun to have lira and listen to the supporters. It’s magical, says Aagaard, who also had a club up in the purse of an opponent, which the judges looked at in the first period.
– Nice that it was only four minutes and that I was not thrown out of the match, says Aagaard about the situation.
Lukas Jasek then put important 3-1 even in powerplay. He stood in a left position and pulled immediately and saw the puck throw in at the nearest post. It seemed crucial.
Even an HV goal with skating
However, HV contacted himself just over a minute later when Jamiro Reber got the puck on the skate without being aware and could reduce to 3-2, silent arena, and create nerve in the final minutes.
With picked up HV goalkeeper, Sebastian Ohlsson finished 4-2 for Modo in empty box and the rams filled the arena.
– It’s sour so clear. I think we make an okay match for five against five. It is in special teams that we have to get up. Modo does two there and we do nothing, says HV’s Olle Alsing.
The qualification or play-out is about staying in SHL and playing in the best of seven matches. The next match will also be played in Ö-vik-on Sunday.
The question then is whether the star Henrik Borgström is in HV71? Anton Blomqvist, the HV coach, has hinted that he may be connected to the team, but he does not want to answer Borgström’s physical status.
“No, I can’t,” he says.
