Tampere was again seen as a familiar solver when Mikael Wipe skated in the overtime to run through. A 20-year-old young man took a puck from the decoy to the knuckle and lynched the lynx Marek Langhamerin between the legs to the finish.
TPS won the match 3–2 and leads the match series with 2–1 victories. The nearly 11,000-headed home crowd had to leave the hall disappointed.
– It felt really good, of course. It wasn’t any of the best games for us and we were spot on in some time on the sail. However, the goals will be decided and we reached the 2-1 lead in the match series. However, that is the most important thing, Pyyhtä said to Sport.
The TPS breeder playing in the number one chain is becoming the biggest hero of the spring from the perspective of the people of Turku. Pyyhtä finished the hat trick already in the 6–0 victory.
Tuesday’s hit was already the sixth for Pyyhti in the spring. Considering the regular season games, Pyyhtiä’s goal is absolutely astonishing: he has finished 19 goals in 26 games.
However, the pier refused to reveal the background of its tunes in more detail.
– There is one secret recipe for it and it cannot be told to everyone, Pyyhti throws a laugh.
Did you make a secret recipe and change on the eve of spring?
– Yeah, I did it at the turn of the year, Throw Towel.
Only as a paint sprayer in the SM League
There was no paint sprayer in his junior years. In B-juniors, for example, Pyyhti finished with just nine hits in 61 matches. In A-juniors, however, the pace accelerated last season, when he played 16 games in juniors at 9 + 10 = 19 in addition to league matches.
During this season, the pace has been strong even at the adult level. In 56 regular season, the striker scored 21 + 14 = 35.
– Maybe inside my head there is such a change that I want to solve the games and the shot when the place comes. Before, I may have been the one to see if anyone is in the back pillar. When I left it out and started delivering it, it has been seen, Towel sculpting.
The 2–1-leading TPS will win in front of its home crowd in Turku on Wednesday. However, the towel is not lifting your foot off the gas.
– The game is getting tough. We found out that Ilves is not a bad team and they play really well. We need to be prepared for that there will be a lot of pressure. Now charge the batteries and then continue, Wipe decides.
Expert: The series moved even more in the direction of TPS
Sports Expert Topi Nättinen according to Wednesday’s match is very big for Ilves. The importance of the towel goal was huge: the plight of Ilves is now gloomier than in the match series.
– I think this series moved even more in the direction of TPS than what 2-1 means. It’s just a difference of one win, but I think TPS has been eight and a half better in these three games. The home match was torn, of course, and Ilves probably took his foot off the gas, but equally, there is a very big match ahead.
– Now Ilves has to win and also have to playfully believe in what he is doing. After all, depending on what the game looks like, it’s a win to get.
