In the playoffs, the SM League has only risen once in a series of matches after three consecutive losses. Veli-Matti Savinainen, who used four different jerseys in the previous game in Turku, is waiting for a hot evening again in Turku Hall.
Tappara can decide the Finnish championship in the fourth Finnish Championship League final on Monday night against TPS. Puheen’s Hockey Tour will follow the match from 6 p.m. Tappara leads the series with 3-0 victories.
That is what Turku Palloseura believes in. The starting points are not ideal, as the playoffs have only risen once from 0-3 to the playoffs.
The Blues was responsible for that rise in the 2012 quarter-finals against regular season winner KalPaa. At that time, behind the KalPan bench, the team was piloting Tuomas Tuokkola, Tappara’s current assistant coach. Behind the bench of the Blues, there was a noise Lauri Marjamäki.
This time, TPS is also facing a regular season winner. However, Tappara is another country compared to KalPa. Tampere’s routine level, machine grinding, hard work, and rudeness are often poison to opponents.
– Tappara can’t score his own goals, they use their superiority and they have just four awesome fields and a great goalkeeper Christian Heljanko. Tappara has also not tactically lost any games to anyone in the last ten years, Sports Expert Topi Nättinen describes Tappara’s superiority.
Let’s get back to the required miracle. According to Nättinen, the championship will be decided on Tuesday in Turkuhalli if TPS does not come up with miracles for his special situations.
TPS did not lag behind Tappara by five to five on Monday either, so the one goal required to get rid of was seen as overwhelming. Finished 1-0 in Brother-Matti Savinainen Anton Levtchin from the feed.
There is a significant difference between the superiority of Tappara and TPS. The people of Tampere have succeeded in as much as one in three of their superiority, when the superiority of the people of Turku has been less than 13%.
In the finals, Tappara has scored three goals and TPS one goal. Again, five against three. Even with force majeure, the percentages turn clearly to Tappara, 89.66–75.00.
– The championship will be decided in Turku Hall if TPS does not invent miracles. Tappara may not have provided gaming splendor, but in principle, home team supporters have come to see victory, not the world’s most entertaining hockey. They have got it now, Nättinen described after the end of the third match.
The situation of TPS Nättinen describes last season’s TPS coach Raimo Helmisen I said.
– After the lost finals, Raipe said in an interview that our boys did not lose today, they just did not win. Here is a similar feeling. TPS beats everything, plays well and gets close, but not enough in the end, Nättinen says.
The situation in TPS is not alleviated by the fact that the big minutes did not flow from one evening to the next Eemil Viro necessarily play on Tuesday. Only less than two minutes of playing time were recorded for Estonia on Monday.
– It’s unfortunate if Estonia dropped. He has been an important player for TPS, especially in the playoffs. It looks like he won’t play on Tuesday unless he’s back in the game. It will certainly do everything possible to make it possible, that is a clear thing, Nättinen says.
In an interview after the match, Konkari Veli-Matti Savinainentotesi said that Tappara must be mentally ready for the toughest match in the series. The match is going to be hot and exciting in all respects, as in the previous match in Turku the temperature rose to very warm readings both at the ice level and in the auditorium.
– It’s definitely a hot match. I guess in the second final I changed four jerseys during the match, they were just wet. For the first time in his career, his hands went to the acid instead of his feet on Saturday when he got wrestled and peddled around the corner. Only the perimeter was missing. Rackets could have been left out of all players in the first set. Meininki was great, hopefully it will continue on Tuesday, Savinainen updated.
The seemingly reminder that in sports, a single game can change a story and cause an avalanche that no one can stop. At the moment, however, the game days are still in Tappara’s lair, as the hard-working group has shown that it can withstand the spring matches.
– Even with a killer, thoughts certainly escape, but they escape in a good way and it gets strength. On Tuesday, the day of the game may be different for the Tappara team. There are really many players out there for whom the championship would be first.
