– Thanks for the fair series to KooKoo, it was rough but fair play. I’m proud of the whole company – and also how the team reacts to the problems. For nine days, six games and today I think our best match in the series. Keeper Masi Härkönen was a big part that we were able to keep the opponent in about little goals, the newcomer coach Juuso Hahl praised.
In the Sport Series Jouko Myrrän The defenders succeeded seven times in the scorer in four matches, which was ultimately too little for Kouvola residents.
– The readings don’t lie. Sport was tough and their goalkeeper game was great. Today’s game was not the best for us. We had our own moments in the previous three games, but we didn’t use those places.
– The management team is very proud of the team throughout the season. Of course, the feeling is also disappointed, sad and shaky as such a great team breaks down, Myrrä talked.
Sport’s trick is also raised by the fact that the club had won only one regular season match in a total of 20 previous KooKoo compatibility before 1.
– An insane performance from Sport! KooKoo – The Sensation Team of the League and the Black Horse of the Spring – leave for summer vacations. Extremely hard performance when thinking about the threats and financial problems of the season that Sport had over the season. Sports is wonderful, no matter what the starting point, the expert’s expert Topi Nättinen reminded.

-Kiekko-Espoo started well and came really strong. In the second round, we lost a good grip on a big punishment that could not be disagreed with. In the third round, we were decisive when we took the lead. I was particularly pleased with the duels and the goal game when K-Espoo came on. On Monday we put everything in order to win the fifth game, Tappara coach Rikard Grönborg promised.
Daniel Brickley took the reigning champion lead to the beginning of the second round but Peter Quenneville brought Espoo to 1-1 during the Big Tappara punishment.

Nykänen received a 5+20 minute game penalty from a tackle on the head or neck, which is likely to be banned.
– First of all, let’s hope that Miro is fine. These are really dangerous situations. Nykänen was originally purely tackled, but with his left handed his body with his elbow, his powerful impact intentionally. This makes this outrageous, criticized by an expert Nättinen.
In the expert’s opinion, the act was dangerous and irresponsible and cannot be viewed in any way through the orange glasses.
– Nykänen chose the opportunity to tackle the other, though he certainly did not want to hit the other end. It was absolutely intentional and cannot be disguised in any way. Nothing says that the act can be defended.
Nättinen saw that Keskitalo, who was tackled, could not have done anything under the tackle.
Hockey Espoo pilot Jyrki Aho He brought the media facilitating news that Miro Keskitalo was able to speak and move in the locker room.
– It’s the most important information at this point. In the match itself, both had their own good steps, the differences are really small all the time. I thought we were too happy with the 1-1 handicap when we should have pressed more gas afterwards, Aho comments.
SaiPa risen from the pit – “Let’s go with Nitro”

– Although we didn’t get enough goals, the game went forward, even though it may not be a great audience in the opinion of the general public.
