Juuso Nykänen received a four -match ban on Miro Keskitalo’s season.
In recent days, the Hockey League playoffs have been buzzing in recent days among the top defenders Miro Keskitalo29, a frightening injury. The injury took place in the quarter-finals between Kiekko-Espoo and Tappara on Saturday.
Tappara’s attacker Juuso Nykänen21, the elbow hit the Middle House in the tackle situation. The defender had to be carried from the ice with stretchers. Nykänen was banned from his tackle four matches.
Nykänen quoth In his own statement, his club was trapped in the back of his body and the side. During the tackling, he sought to pull the club with his left hand.
Sports Expert Jesse Saarinen According to Nykänen’s hand movement, was like a UFC battle.
– Nykänen’s taklaus passed the little one. After that, the hand movement came on the elbow, a bit like a UFC battle. Yes, there should be better anticipation of how the body reacts to that weight if the tackling passes, Saarinen says.
– You may not be able to swipe off now that there is no hit, Saarinen adds.
Kiekko-Espoo announced on Sunday that Miro Keskitalo’s season is over.
Unlucky situation for Espoo residents
Today, the teams will face in the decisive fifth quarter -finals in Espoo. The series is 2-2 and the winner of the match will continue to the quarterfinals.
Keskitalo played in the Tappara series for about 20 minutes per match in the team number one. Nykänen, who plays as an attacker, has been responsible for less than 10 minutes per match in Tappara’s Nelositja.
According to Saarinen, injury to Keskitalo is a very unlucky situation for Kiekko-Espoo.
-Keskitalo has been a very valuable player for Kiekko-Espoo. He has played in the club since Mestis-Taipale and has certainly been a mentally important player there. Nykänen’s absence is not such a significant thing for Tappara again.
Do you believe that the case of last game will raise your emotions on the field today?
-Kiekko-Espoo is a pretty brotherly team with a good team spirit. I believe they want to show it to other teams that they wouldn’t jump on that. It can add tensions to the evening’s match when there is a large number of people in Espoo in the audience, says Saarinen.
