Jussi Paasi and Topi Nättinen belong to the standard sound of EPN’s hockey round. The hockey round follows the Finnish Championship playoffs from start to finish in Arena and on Wednesdays Radio Finland.
The final climax of the regular season was a crazy show. What happens in the first round of the SM League playoffs?
Well, I’ll tell you!
SaiPa – TPS
Season sensation, Raimo Helminen The guided SaiPa, slipped away from the top four in the top four. It may have been a fatal knock on the success of the Lappeenranta success.
Fortunately, in the opening round, TPS will meet in the opening round. It managed to rumble like a miracle in the top 12. It needed the misery of other clubs.
Throughout the season, Turku people have been confusing and uneven. There is no magic button that, by which the game suddenly set in the river, does not exist.
SaiPa’s gaming identity carries even in difficult places. It has been seen numerous times in the regular season. Only the goalkeeper department is some kind of question mark.
TPS is weaker in every aspect of SaiPa. Teps head coach Tommi Miettinen You can concentrate on crying on the judges.
SaiPa will continue with a 3-0 win.
KooKoo – Sport
The best team of the calendar year comes from Kouvola. Head coach Jouko Myrrä Has done an amazingly good job in a short time, the results of which are visible.
There are wonderful growth stories in KooKoo. The direction of many players’ career has started to rise at a rapid rate. The same pace continues in the playoffs.
Sport is still anything but an easy resistance. The best player in the SM league, Atro from aldercan’t stop at all. In the ranks of the Vaasa, there are another player who has broken the 60 power point this season, Simon Hjalmarsson.
There is a long series ahead of which KooKoo will survive with a 3-2 win.
Aces – HPK
HPK’s rise to the playoffs after a spooky start is undoubtedly a handsome achievement. Unfortunately, it cannot reach its higher with such thin material. No, even though the back of the bench stands experienced Mikko Manner.
Aces leaves for the match as a favorite. The position of the underdog would be better suited to the soul landscape of Pori. Still, the club cannot win the shirts in any three times. The big reason for this is between the ace posts.
Niklas Rubin is one of the best goalkeepers in the SM league. HPK’s mill department is many degrees weaker. The winning goalkeeper in the spring games will determine.
Aces continued to win 3-1.
Hockey-Espoo-Tappara
This match series is really interesting – and extremely difficult to analyze. The reigning master of the serial stand. The setting is fascinating.
Tappara has been something quite different this season than Tappara that grabbed the championships year after year.
Hockey-Espoo, on the other hand, is exactly the kind of group that should be. Jyrki Aho Looking for a riding dog team. Less than poorly made dill meat.
However, there is a clear material benefit on the ax, with Tappara to reach the top eight with a 3-2 win.
