Kiekko-Espoo has a chance to solve the championship at Tapiola on Wednesday. The people of Espoo have taken two final matches with 11-2 goals.
The preliminary settings of the final series of the Women’s Ice Hockey League were teasing: for the first time in history, the championship was decided between HIFK and Kiekko-Espoo in a situation where HIFK had, for the first time, ever succeeded in destabilizing the people of Espoo.
In the upper extension series, HIFK knocked down Kiekko-Espoo as many as twice.
Now the show from Espoo is developing from the final series, as Kiekko-Espoo is marching convincingly into the 16th championship in its history.
HIFK has been left behind in both finals after being hit by the team from Espoo eleven times. In the goal, HIFK succeeded for the first time on Monday, in the final round of the match.
What happened to HIFK in less than a month?
– There is probably a certain inexperience in playing these games. However, the finals are different games, they require a little more. HIFK has a really inexperienced team to play the playoffs, not many have played them, Sports Expert Mira Kuisma resemble.
Karoliina from Rantamäki44, experience can be found even to share with others, but very many others do not have experience in the finals.
He plays in the ranks of the people of Espoo Ada Erosen17, and on the football side of the national team camp preparing for the European Championships Julia Schalinin16, such as the super talents of the two sports, but most of the people of Espoo already have more finals in the series.
Espoo residents also have more experience in tough international games, and for example, in the Beijing bronze team, there were five Puck-Espoo players – six if they moved to Russia for the rest of the season. Minnamari Tuominen is calculated.
For example, five players from Luleå, Sweden, were successful. HIFK in Beijing only played Julia Liikala.
HIFK needs to find relaxation
Matilda Nilsson was the second most powerful player on the points exchange right now in Kiekko-Espoo Elisa Holopaisen after. In his 20 matches, Nilsson scored 28 + 12 = 40.
Including matches in the upper division, Nilsson was the third most powerful player with 55 power points. Czech striker Michaela Pejzlova hit 15 + 27 = 42 in 21 matches.
In the playoffs, Nilsson is no longer in the top ten. Pejzlova has managed to hit seven hits in nine matches and entered four.
In the playoffs, six of the most powerful players in Kiekko-Espoo can be among the ten most powerful players, while the most powerful of HIFK can only include a French defender in addition to Pejzlova. Athena Locatelli. The four most effective players in the playoffs all represent Kiekko-Espoo.
– In Kiekko-Espoo, all individuals have been able to raise their own level, which is also reflected in their five-game play. At HIFK, on the contrary, the supposed top players have not reached their own level or been able to raise their own level, which is reflected in the five-player game. That makes it difficult to create goals or get a result, Kuisma sees.
In the second final match, HIFK succeeded in scoring twice in the final round and the game already showed slightly better indications.
– Of course, the game was completely different from what was played at Tapiola. In a small trough, the game is a little different. HIFK got a little more caught up in the plot, loose hockey was better, they got to play more on the puck through it, which of course helps and looks better when you just don’t have to defend all the time.
On Wednesday, HIFK will face a forced victory if it wants to fight for the brightest medals this spring. According to Mira Kuisma, it is not worth making any gigantic changes at this stage.
– I hope they dare to trust their own way of playing, because it has created a result. It is not worth making terribly radical changes in tactics at this point.
– It is extremely important to find relaxation in gaming so that coaching and players can keep their heads together. It is not worth thinking beyond the next change. Through finding relaxation, players are sure to perform much better when there is no monkey on their back. Surely these two goals they scored in yesterday’s game will help a bit.
