The lions ran an expected hard test on Wednesday night against Sweden. In the end, Sweden was better after the 3-2 World Cup hockey Group B match.
The striker of the evening became the striker Emil Bemströmwho sank Sweden as the second shooter with a penalty shootout Harri Säterin behind. NHL aid Bemström was the only one of the ten shots in the winning goal.
Both had won all three of their games before Wednesday’s dawn. Now Sweden stuck to the top of the block.
Finland’s long line at the World Championships still continued. The Lions have lost their regular time in the World Championships in Slovakia in 2019. At that time, Germany defeated the Lions in the final 4–2 finals. Since then, the Lions have not lost after 60 minutes in 17 matches.
This time the defenders took the lead in the fight. Swedish Adam Larsson finished with an old-fashioned opening paint when the Lions Ville Pokka was lured out of his job, and not Atte Ohtamaa unable to stop Larsson’s rotation.
The matter was in the fingers of the blue-yellow and Oskar Lang had time to hit the bar until the goalkeeper Magnus Hellberg said “hörps” and Mikko Lehtonen ventilated the leveling at the beginning of the second installment. A frantic pull slid through Hellberg’s shelters over the finish line.
The star moment of the Lions’ Night was seen a moment later when Lehtonen rose to the corner and found his pack of pairs in the back pillar. Sami Vatasen. The latter guided the disc empty. All that remained unclear was whether the hit was an example of the Lions ’flexible playing style or the duo’s daring experiment.
In the first three games, the Finnish packs scored a total of one goal, but now two.
It instead became clear that the Swedish NHL defender Rasmus Dahlin is a defender only nominally. The man of six million bucks did nothing to cut off Lehtonen’s feed and prevent Vata. At the same time, the situation provided a small clue as to why Buffalo is losing in the bucks league.
Sweden equalized in the third round after the Finnish defender To Juuso Hietanen there was a rare fall asleep. Joel Kellman was allowed to guide the line cloth completely freely past Harri Säterin.
It was close that the evening would have ended with a winning hit by Pak. Swedish Henrik Tömmernes got to try out the glorious spot five seconds before the end of the actual playing time, but itched turned from a congested corner.
Finland will continue its World Cup games against Great Britain on Friday at 16.20. Games against Austria (Saturday) and the Czech Republic (Tuesday) are also waiting in the starting block.
