The coaching staff
The score in the final series is 0-2 following this week’s two away games in Gävle. Patrik Andersson comments on the initial situation;
– It’s just regarding resetting as a group. Now it’s a new match, it’s home and it’s Hovet. We know what applies.
The assistant coach points out the keys when the match series has now returned home to Stockholm for a double fighter at Hovet;
– As usual, the wonderful energy created in our arena will be important. We have to take full advantage of it, a lot by coming out with a physical game.
– We also need to evaluate the game with the puck in the right positions. When we have time, we must move forward together, so that we can enter the attacking zone with speed.
