Sweden won Monday night’s thriller with Lucas Raymond’s fine goals. Leijonat has never beaten Sweden in a championship game in Finland.
TAMPERE. Saying the truth for the tenth time? If this is the case, Leijonat will never beat Sweden in a prestigious match in Finland.
Finland had lost to Sweden eight times in the World Cup and once in the World Cup. On Monday, the Finnish chamber suffered its tenth defeat.
Leijonat lost 1–2 in the shootout, when Lucas Raymond the kinks were too much for Finland and For Emil Larm. Detroit’s NHL star dunked the puck twice, and didn’t Ahti Oksanen successful again in further pairs.
Because of two losses, the group win is running away from Leijon. It very likely means that in the quarter-finals there will be really tough opposition from the Riga group. Most probably Canada, Switzerland or the Czech Republic.
That’s why the loss was bitter.
A peculiar mistake backfired
Sweden’s lead goal came when Jere Sallinen made an ill-advised pass into the midfield. He pursued Joel Armiaabut the Swedish player smelled the attempt and broke. Jonatan Berggren and Fabian Zetterlund initialized and Oscar Lindberg shot past the puck Emil Larmin in time 37.17
– I thought as soon as Sallinen’s pass went that Houston we have a problem, Urheilu’s expert Ismo Lehkonen threw.
Mistakes like the allowed stray pass have rarely been seen from Leijon in big games. Now one came. This begs the question of whether players have been conditioned to the previous faster turn of the game. Sallinen, if anyone, is known for his reliability.
What do you say, was that mistake dealt with in the booth during the second break?
– Hardly. At most, so that Sallinen raised his hand as a sign of a mistake.
The entertainer beat the equalizer
The runt of the Lions handicap Juho Lammikko. The center followed From Lars Johansson came the return puck and tried from the minus corner. The puck bounced in through Johansson’s guards in 46:47. They got the pass to their account Kasperi Kapanen and Harri Pesonen.
The goal was Lammiko’s first in the prestigious competition. The man now played his 20th World Cup match at the men’s level.
The working mole who left Pori’s Äss now took on a big role on the ice. Based on the comments of the Leijona players, he has been up to speed in the locker room for a long time.
In the NHL, Lammiko’s single-season goal record is seven, but this season in the Swiss premier league, he completed no less than 24 goals for Zurich. Lammikko was no less than third in the series goal exchange. His still wedged only Teemu Hartikainen (Geneva/28 goals) and Matej Stransky (Davos/25).
The Lions’ next World Cup game is against France on Wednesday at 20:20.
